French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[rendravolt]

Now I understand why Lens keeps losing and can't win because they lost their mainstay striker who left this season and the most recent yesterday was a heavy defeat against Monaco with a score of 3-0. We know that Luis Openda has been a goal machine for Lens since last season with 21 goals and his departure to Leipzig made it difficult for Lens to score goals.

In fact, Lens is now in the red zone with 1 point from the 4 matches they have played and this has destroyed the expectations of some people who previously stated that Lens would be a strong competitor for PSG like last season. Well, apart from that all congratulations to Monaco because they managed to win the game after last week only played a draw against Nantes.

It is undeniable that the departure of their mainstay in attack affected their game especially in scoring goals. But not only that, the fact that their defense is also not working well makes it easy for them to lose goals. From the 4 matches they have played, they have conceded 10 times, it means that on average they concede more than 2 goals in each match. Meanwhile they can only score 4 goals from 4 matches that have been played. and if we look at the number of their conceding, Lens is the club that has conceded the most so far.

After Mbappe who made the PSG owner angry in this summer, now another player is causing problems for the team. While Enrique doesn't need Hugo Ekitiké anymore and PSG wants to sell this prayer to have an empty spot in their team, but Hugo Ekitiké doesn't want to leave the team. In fact, this player even got offer from  Eintracht Frankfurt and he could leave the teams he doesn't want to do that, and this could cause trouble in PSG hiring Randal Kolo Muani.

But it is his right to stay if he wants to. I think it may most of the time not be the wisest choice to stay at a club that is planning without that specific player, but there have also been examples when a player stayed against the desire of the club and performed against all expectations. I understand Ekitiké because going to another country and a cub that is not of a similar profile is really hard I think, but as it seems now PSG won't even give him a chance to prove them wrong. But as it often is during a season, two or three players get injured and out of a sudden they need him again and he gets his chance. But in general, he has the right to stay as per the contract he signed with PSG. There is nothing wrong about that.

It's very regretful after we just realized that Lens' performance is because of Lois Openda who has left this club whereas this is a reliable player in this club for every game and I think Franck Haise as Lens coach after selling that player he will have another target to get a new player takes his place who has equal performance but in reality cannot.
Last season, Lens looked very enthusiastic about winning the title in this league, but everything did not match our predictions, this season Lens had to accept defeat in every match because they had let go of their flagship player.

They are in a slump and that concerns me when they are in the Champions League. They are in group B with Sevilla, Arsenal and also PSV, it's a tough challenge for them. Realistically with the state they're in, are they capable of competing in the Champions League group gas? Of course I would say no. Because after all there is very different from Ligue 1. With their good condition, it is not certain that they can talk a lot in the Champions League, especially if their situation is like this. The coaching team must be able to evaluate everything and slowly make Lens rise from this slump. One win can be something that will lift their morale.

I think PSG will win the League One title this year as well But securing this title will not achieve much PSG should aim for the Champions League.

PSG is the most favorite team for the title in Ligue 1 this season. Even Taru is not certain that PSG will win the title. Due to this, their performance cannot be said to be stable till now. They drew the first two of the three matches and won the third. PSG's performance has been erratic. Especially their attacking performance is still weak. If the attack is not strong, PSG's chances of winning the title will decrease.

PSG's main rivals for the title this season will be Marseille and Monaco. And the performance of these two teams is quite good. Marseille have won two and drawn two of their 4 matches. Monaco, on the other hand, have won two out of three matches, and will win today's match as well. PSG are now eighth in the table. Topping the table won't be easy for PSG.

I think it's temporary, for it's clear that PSG are not having the best of times at the moment. Two good players have left, Messi and Neymar, it would seem that PSG can cope without them, because there is Mbappe, but as far as everyone knows there are disagreements between the player and the management, it is always bad, even though Killian still performs. I think the team needs some time to adapt

Kylian has stayed with the team but his mind is still elsewhere. I don't know if he can fully contribute to the team. As it is known, PSG put him on the sales list, but no team can afford this high cost right now. Even if he does, there is a priority team for Mbappe and he is taking every opportunity to go to them. It may be playing with PSG this year, but it may outperform last year.

Generally after he was reinstated to the team, he said that all conflicts were resolved, but whether this is actually the case or he just decided to appease the fans is not clear. Moreover, he then said that he could sign a new contract with PSG, and this already looks like some kind of slavery for him, because at this rate he will never be released.

[Bobrox]

Lyon vs PSG are very interested match for watching will play right now, I think PSG have chance for getting three points after on confidence performance with winning capital last match. Drastically difference with Lyon performance in this season last three matches can't winning yet and only one points achievement after getting draw against Nice on last week. Lyon defensive seems very weakness last three matches they have conceded 6 goals and its not really good how to stopping PSG attacking player for scoring goals.

But Lyon need to secure their position from relegation after one point achievement and current standing have dropped to 16th place with 1 points and the same another relegated position teams Lens and Clermont Foot.

Currently Lens are at the bottom of the standings with one point, a very bad team for last season Ligue 1 runners-up. It is true that Lois Openda was one of their mainstays last season, her departure to RB Leipzig could not have been well anticipated. I think it's only natural that Lens let go of their best asset, Leipzig bought it at a fairly expensive price and this might be a factor in Lens management letting it go.

On the other hand, soon we will watch the match between PSG vs Lyon, this is very interesting because PSG is chasing points to improve its position on the standings. Many people put PSG as the favorite but I think this match will be a draw, because Lyon is playing in front of its own supporters.

But the attack line and defense line must be balanced so that victory can be achieved and Lens doesn't have that at the moment. They have scored few goals and conceded more and that is definitely the worst thing ever. Lens are not the same as last season, who were much more dominant in every match and now they have become like a weak team at the bottom of the standings. I think if these results continue then finishing in the top 4 of the standings is very impossible for Lens and they must immediately look for weaknesses in their squad.

Lyon vs PSG are very interested match for watching will play right now, I think PSG have chance for getting three points after on confidence performance with winning capital last match. Drastically difference with Lyon performance in this season last three matches can't winning yet and only one points achievement after getting draw against Nice on last week. Lyon defensive seems very weakness last three matches they have conceded 6 goals and its not really good how to stopping PSG attacking player for scoring goals.

I expect PSG to win this match by a big margin. Lyon is a renowned team in Ligue 1. But now they are not in good form. Lyon team has not won a single match yet. Their performance is quite poor. Lyon's defense in particular is weak. This is why they are not playing well. Luis Enrique should definitely take advantage of Lyon's weak defense.

PSG now lead 2-0. Mbappe scored the first goal from the penalty in just 4 minutes. The second goal was scored by defender Hakimi. PSG is playing attacking today. Enrique has changed his match strategy. He is slowly trying to stabilize the team. Enrique is a very experienced coach. I think he will be able to succeed with this PSG team. If Mbappe is in form, the team can play well in the Champions League.

[Silence Scream]

Randal Kolo Muani is the most expensive palyer of PSG in this transfer window they hired him from Eintracht Frankfurt while this team wanted to keep this palyer and Kolo Muan had bad behavior there, that's why he made his team to accept the offer, and let him go, now Kolo Muan got injured in the training and the most expensive players of PSG in this simmer will be absent against Olympique Lyonnais.
 

From what I understand it's a minor injury (sprained right ankle) and he'll be back in action in a few days. But he will definitely miss the game with the Olympic - it makes no sense to risk the third most expensive player in history for PSG (the first two are Neymar and Mbappe). And I don't think that PSG's chances will change in any way from this - after all, he has not played with the rest of the players at all, so he would hardly be a big boost even if he took part in the game.

They will have to be careful with Muani. He is a very important player for Paris. They should go to the means of protecting the player without causing further injuries. We know that they did not benefit much from Neymar because of these injuries. I think that Messi will have to be more careful in the face of injuries that may cause more points loss with his departure from the team.

Drastically difference with Lyon performance in this season last three matches can't winning yet and only one points achievement after getting draw against Nice on last week.

But Lyon need to secure their position from relegation after one point achievement and current standing have dropped to 16th place with 1 points and the same another relegated position teams Lens and Clermont Foot.

Let's start predicting together the match between Lyon and PSG.
If you look at the formation used by Luis Enrique for PSG 4-3-3, it is like a defensive and attacking formation that relies on forwards Kylian Mbappe, Asensio (new player) and of course with Ousmane Dembele who will be a strong collaboration between these 3 talented players and I'd love to see Mbappe performance with Ousmane Dembele linking up the chemistry and working together for more goals to embarrass Lyon at home.
In terms of strategy, it seems that Enrique will not be too pressured to provide the right strategy and tactics because Lyon is not a strong club so the chance of winning for PSG is very big as it provides a guarantee and it will be more profitable if you bet at odds above @2.0

I will not say that Lyon will be very bad in this match, it's just that the formation used to defend like 5-4-1 is very good for Lyon but somehow this club also has big ambitions even though logically it is very difficult to beat the title holders in last season and if Lyon is able to score 1 in this match I think PSG have to be a little careful because if Lyon is able to score 1 score it means that this club knows PSG weaknesses.

[hahay]

PSG went berserk, beating Lyon in the first half with a score of 0-4. Playing away doesn't make PSG weak, because in reality Lyon can't do much to stop PSG movement. It's really unfortunate, because basically Lyon is also in a bad performance at this moment because they have played three matches but Lyon didn't get a win at all. Therefore, it would not be strange if PSG were able to beat Lyon in this match, because basically PSG is the one who has improved their performance in every match, and then against Lyon which is in a slump. So of course, PSG can take advantage of the bad conditions experienced by Lyon to win big in this away match.

Luis Enrique seems to be starting to find the best solution so that PSG's attack line really looks good. Mbappe, Asensio and Dembele have been the best so far in the last two match, but I have never seen Dembele score a goal or assist in 3 match. PSG is 0-4 ahead of Lyon, it looks easy for them after the first two matches were only draws.

I think there will still be a few more goals in the second half because PSG really dominated this match. Lyon is still giving their best, but so far they have not been able to score a goal even though they have had several opportunities.

PSG look unstoppable, and it should be noted that this transformation happened when they returned Mbappe to the starting lineup. Probably the sheikhs who wanted to punish Mbappe, but in the end only punished themselves, are upset by this turn of events 
In any case, after this round, PSG will not be in first place, so we will see some kind of struggle for a few more rounds.

The score line is as though it is PSG who are at home. PSG started scoring within the first ten minutes of the game and scored one goal every ten minutes after to give them four goals before the halftime and a massive advantage entering the second half. Mbappe looks like he will score a Hattrick before the game is over. When Randal Kolo Muani will start playing for PSG, their attack will become more sharper than it is, and good for the champions league that they are about to begin. PSG sit in second position in the league, they would have been first had they not drawn two games.

It's good to see PSG fully back into the winning ways like it's supposed and I'm so impressed with the score line, they've won against a big side in the Ligue 1 and it shows that the players are beginning to understand themselves which is a very good thing for the team because the more they play with understanding and good team spirit the more they stand a better chance of having a good champions league performance compared to last seasons.
 I'm happy to see Mbappe leading his team to victory comfortablely without Messi and Neymar included and about today they played very impressive away from home and didn't give the home team much  chance to score any goal, and even the few the got  they couldn't convert any to a goal, the good thing about PSG is that Luis Enrique has got the perfect players for his attack and I think they'll do just great this season.

[Majestic-milf]

PSG look unstoppable, and it should be noted that this transformation happened when they returned Mbappe to the starting lineup.

 No doubt they're on fire and Lyon are not helping themselves to at least defend properly to make it hard for PSG. The return of Mbappe to the squad has uplift the team to winning ways but for how long are they going to rely on Mbappe? When is time for him to part ways with the club, what would be their plan? He's good no doubt but I think the coach should sometimes bench him and see how well they'd do without him.

 

[el kaka22]

It does look like Kolo Muani actually did sprain his right ankle and that could be a problem. He will probably not play today at all and he will just rest that ankle. He is not the player that will make them win or lose, they should be able to win without him too. Obviously he is their most expensive transfer this year, but that doesn't mean that he is the only good player, rest of the team is quite good as well.

I think they will do fine and we are going to end up seeing them do fine on the long run. With the current roster after the summer window I can say that they are going to be fine even if it was Mbappe and not Muani. Plus, it is not a huge injury, just a sore ankle, I am sure he will be ready for the next game.
