French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

The match between Nantes and Marseille was a great battle. Marseille started the match very well and took the lead with Ismaila Sarr's goal in the 4th minute of the match. Then Nantes player Menadjou received a red card and was sent out of the match. However, Mostafa Mohamed, Nantes' successful player in recent weeks, scored a great goal in the 39th minute of the match and equalized the match. Mostafa Mohamed has started the season really well. He has scored in all 4 games he has played this season. Nantes signed him from Galatasaray. I really wanted him to play with Icardi this season, he should have stayed at Galatasaray. Nantes did the right thing by signing him.

maybe some people previously confirmed that Marseille would win this match and it was very convincing from Marseille previous performance which looked very strong and also Nantes was a team that did not have much strength to put pressure on Marseille but surprisingly when Nantes played with 1 player remaining. got red card but Marseille failed to win this match even though they were already 1 goal ahead in the first minute and it would be very disappointing if they could not beat Nantes as the team that sits at the bottom of the standings.

Its a little surprising that in yesterday match there were a lot of teams that performed badly when the favorite team should have won and the opposing team got a red card but the favorite team failed to win this match and this happened. I said about other leagues too.

Nantes showed quite a good game because they managed to hold Marseille to a draw. I didn't expect Nantes to still get last week's draw because previously they also managed to hold another fairly strong team, namely Monaco, to a draw. In fact, what was quite surprising was that when they played against a team that had qualities above them, Nantes managed to make it very difficult for that team to win. On the other hand, Marseille failed to widen the gap at the top of the standings and only managed to add one point to the standings and now the gap is increasingly being overtaken by several teams below them.

Nantes records another draw in the 4th round of Ligue One.  Olympique Marseille was a tough opponent to deal and they only implemented a defensive strategy inother to shared points. Nantes recording 1-1 draw against Marseille on the scoresheet, despite been down by one man. Stade de la Beaujoire is definitely an undefeated ground for Les jaunes et verts, tightening up every area on the pitch. Spectacular performance was represented, that's definitely an easy path to remain firm in the forthcoming leage games. Nantes headcoach, Pierre Aristouy is definitely a coach with lengthy experience, he would be looking forward to employ fresh strategy this season.

This is not very good for my bet because I am quite confident with Marseille, but in 90 minutes of the match they really struggled against the strong Nantes defense.
Facing 10 Nantes players, Marseille actually had to get a return score which made me quite frustrated with Marseille's performance in this match.
Nantes played very disciplined although at first seeing the red card received made me a little big-hearted, but they played very well under the pressure put on by Marseille.
Marseille is also actually not too bad, it's just that they can't take advantage of the momentum they get when the rhythm of the game they have dictated.

It is normal to see PSG in this situation now. Because they have been making big changes in the squad. Mbappe was also nearly leaving and he has been integrated into the squad again after some issues between him and the team. They tried a trio without Mbappe first. Despite the dominance it didn't work out as they couldn't score a goal. Whenever Mbappe was in the game he made a direct impact on the game with his goals later on. As I said before he is the mainstay for now.

As long as they have him in the starting eleven their win percentage should be increasing by a high sum. But I don't have big expectations from them anyway as I need to see the adaptation process of the new players first.

That's not normal at all mate, even though PSG were left behind by some of their important players, they still have a lot of talented players in their squad, of course there will be changes, but I mean the changes shouldn't be this significant. We can see all this when PSG played matches against Lorient and also Toulouse in the first and second weeks of Ligue 1, how can PSG only get 1 point at home when facing Lorient? it's ok if their opponent is Lyon, Marseille or AS Monaco.

It is at least normal for their attacking area now. Because there aren't Messi and Neymar beside Mbappe now. Players like Goncalo Ramos, Dembele, Asensio aren't better players than them first of all. They are still talented players of course but they are in a new environment and they need some time to adapt to playing together.

For example we saw this need in the match against Lorient. There was a big dominance but no goal as I said. But after this adaptation process ends I will be expecting to see a much better PSG. For now they aren't a very credible team to bet on. But this is my opinion of course.

[Litzki1990]

I see much good news about the new transfer on PSG and it seems PSG is paying much more attention to the younger talents this season.
PSG officially hired Bradley Barcola. First, they wanted to hire Castello Lukeba but since PSG failed to hire this palyer they decided to hire Barcola from Olympique Lyonnais and they signed and contract with him until 2028. PSG paid 45+5m for this 20-year-old winger.  
    

This is good news for PSG as they are currently investing money to buy young and talented players. Investing money behind a player who is only 21 years old is undoubtedly a very good move for PSG. If PSG can get Bradley Barcola right then they can get a lot of money out of this player. The plus point for Bradley Barcola is that he has two teammates at PSG, with Mbappe already at PSG and newly signed Dembele from Barcelona. PSG needs to make some more changes because PSG is not yet a fully strong team. The absence of Messi and Neymar is still evident in PSG. In addition to retaining Mbappe, PSG will be a tough opponent for other teams if PSG can sign a few more players.

With the transfer market closed, players' focus is no longer divided. I think it's time for PSG to return to winning ways, Mbappe is certain to stay and not leave. The next match against Lyon will be a turning point in its performance, we know that Lyon has so far only collected one point in three matches.

PSG will definitely be able to take advantage of this moment very well, they can secure points easily even though they are playing away from home.

Nella partita a due squadre Nantes vs Marsiglia, entrambe le squadre si sono comportate molto bene oggi, per cui la partita di oggi è un pareggio. La partita di oggi è un pareggio in cui entrambe le squadre segneranno 1 goal ciascuna. I punti dovranno essere condivisi tra le due squadre. I giocatori della squadra del Marsiglia I Sarr hanno segnato il primo gol in 4 minuti. Il giocatore della squadra del Nantes M. Mohamed ha segnato 1 gol in 39 minuti per pareggiare la partita. Tuttavia, i giocatori della squadra del Nantes non hanno giocato molto bene in questa partita poiché N. B. Meupiyou Menadjou ha ricevuto 1 rosso carte in 9 minuti.

Exactly, atleast they'll be comcentrated on archiving success their various teams instead of a dívide attention from the transfer window which makes most players to lose focus on the game,  PSG are lucky to have Mbappe stay for another season and i kmow most fans would be happy to know that the Mbappe saga has ended due to the closure of the window, the teams focus now would be winning their next matches and performing well in the Champions League.
 PSG just added a fine player into their squad on the deadline day of the window and he's going to add more strength to their frontline making it more easier to bully other smaller clubs on the pitch, they've now got a front three of Mbappe, Dembele and kolo Muani, and i believe they'll win their next match against Lyon even though it might seem tough because lyon won't want to lose another match.

You said Nantes didn't play very well, it is obvious since they were facing Marseille and playing with only 10 play for almost all the match, since their player received the red card in the 9th minutes of the game.. In my opinion, Marseille is the one which failed in this game. Not collecting 3 points vs Nantes guarantee they aren't willing to fight for the first spot this season. Luckily PSG missed few points also in the beginning otherwise they would be flying away from the rest.

They have also signed Kolo Muani and I have to say that now with Dembele, Mbappe and Kolo Muani, if they all are consistently available throughout the season, is quite a terrifying attack line. I have to familiarize myself with some of the players who play in the midfield and the defense line, but again in their offense they are very strong now. Kolo Muani was exceptional in Frankfurt already, but having Dembele and Mbappe on your wings is granted crazy pace for any kind of attack, but especially the counter attacks will be horrific for the opponents.

I am sure that Mbappe is not going anywhere and will remain at PSG until his contract expires. Thank goodness the transfer market has closed so there are no more rumors about his move to Madrid which will never end, at least we'll see what the results will be after his contract expires. with PSG later, against Lyon it doesn't seem like a difficult opponent for PSG, I'm sure Mbappe and friends will get full points.

I still want to see Dembele's performance and he can play well against Lyon later, at least score a few goals in the match to secure PSG's position in Ligue 1 at the top of the standings, I think he has to adapt to other PSG players in order to produce sharp attacking power and not dull without having to rely on Mbappe again, when PSG lost Mbappe at least someone replaced him on the front lines.

Nantes performance yesterday was quite impressive and I think this club can be a challenger for the top clubs this season and I did not expect Nantes to have a very strong and consistent performance which is very high and I am thinking about whether in the future Nantes will be part of from top club if this club is able to improve its performance every season.
The reason I have thoughts like this is seeing last time performance against Monaco which ended in a draw and yesterday against Marseille which was also able to withstand attack after attack.
Nantes performance was highly appreciated by most of the spectators of the match and I am also sure that many people think that Nantes is stable enough to be part of the big clubs above them and I am becoming more curious about this club and want to always see its performance in every match.

[Jody.Drummer]

I can't believe the draw that Marseille got this week, how can they only get 1 point when their opponent is a weak club and also they played with 10 men before the game time is even 10 minutes.
At first I was quite confident with the quick goal they could create in the 4th minute, and I thought it would be a match that ended with their advantage at least with a difference of 3 goals after they were superior in number of players. and unfortunately they could not maximize it, they were very difficult to create a second goal, and even they had to miss 6 minutes before the first half ended.

[rendravolt]

In the next few hours we will be presented with a quite exciting match between Brest and Rennes and so far Rennes has not been optimal because in the previous two matches they only achieved a draw. But in this match Rennes is on paper and they should be able to steal points at home to Brest. However, we also cannot underestimate Brest because they already had 2 wins before finally having to stop last week because they were defeated by Marseille. If we look at the Ligue 1 standings these two teams are only one point away and it looks like the two teams will attack each other to ensure an additional 3 points are obtained. However, in terms of betting, I think it is quite risky to bet on Rennes and it seems I will avoid betting on this match.

[el kaka22]

Honestly PSG made some serious serious transfers this season. I am %100 certain that they are building a team that will be great even if Mbappe leaves, which we are still not sure but he may stay too by the looks of it.

I do not mean this year, this year he does look like he will stay, I mean next summer was the point, I am not sure if he will leave or not, but they are ready for both cases. They got Ugarte, Dembele, Kolo Muani, Lucas Hernandez, Barcola, Ekitike, Asensio and some other players. That is the maximum you could do in a single summer. They actually became so so much better. I think they are going to be the champions of the ligue 1 as always but I bet they will have a lot of points difference this time around.

Brest at home can make a surprise because on the first matchday they can to beat Lens, but Lens at the start of this season also didn't performance very well. So I think Brest can show an interesting match in this match, because they will also be playing at home. Meanwhile, on the other side. I agree with you Rennes is better on paper rather than Brest, there is a possibility they can get points in this match. Currently Odds for Rennes @2.18 yes quite risky, I personally will bet on handicap for Rennes 0.25, it doesn't seem too bad for me because currently Odds @1.45.

The signing of Kolo Muani to Paris Saint Germaine yesterday was another significant addition to the club this summer after signing world class players like Ousmane Dembele, Marco Asensio, Lucas Hernandez, Goncalo Ramos among others.
The club who parted ways with Lionel Messi, Neymar Jnr, Renato Sanches, Mauro Icardi as well as others are still trying to win their first UEFA Champions League title and with the current squad, they stand a good chance of winning the competition this season.

Adaptation is necessary, but from some players who are really great and have the capability, it doesn't take them long to adapt and show their good performance. For example, Erling Haaland at Manchester City and Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid. September 4th we'll see Lyon match against PSG, Lyon is a pretty tough opponent even though they're currently at a slump at the start of the season, we'll see how PSG can see a good opportunity here or not.

It's like a defeat for Marseille because they couldn't add a goal in the match against a team that only played with 10 people and even Nantes who managed to equalize so they could get 1 point in this match, Marseille failed to maximize these benefits

AS Monaco will face Lens today, and AS Monaco is in good shape they will try to get 3 points and shift Marseille's position because they will have more points, and Monaco get quite interesting odds as the favorite team to win and also as home team @2.04, but Lens who are currently still in the bottom three because they only have 1 point from 3 matches will try to provide tough resistance to be able to steal points in this match and improve their position which last season much better than now this is because Lens was one of the challengers for the title for PSG at that time, but this time they are still very struggling to get back to their best performance.
