French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Weird scene to see the fans fighting the players, last I can remember was malice in palace for NBA, and do not remember this much clear conflict in anything major, probably it did happen between those years, nearly 20 years since then but I have to say I do not remember it. Nice and Marsielle game is postponed and I am not sure if it will even happen at this point, it could be automatic loss for one side.

However we should also consider the fact that the amount of security was vastly not enough, they were able to protect the players who were willing to be protected, but for the fans and the players who wanted to fight, they were not enough in numbers to protect everyone, you do not even have to protect the players only, you also need to protect the fans as well. It was a very shameful scene and I hope that it will never be seen again.

This is very shameful and embarrassing, football isn't only a form of entertainment but also an agenda to promote peace an unity but some fans have failed to control their emotions and it's gotten so bad to the point that it's lead to this, which is very bad and I feel those involved should be punished severely and even banned from watching matches at the stadiums and dome points should be deducted from both clubs for misconduct instead of an automatic loss from only one side.
 However for this not to happen again the security should be increased and they should look for a way to separate fans from having access to the pitch like in the Italian league where there's a barricade  between fans and the pitch, I just hope the players involved in the fight with fans did not get severely injured and I applaude the security for  trying their best to rescue some players and help calm the situation.

Lyon performs so badly this season. The club gets three losses and 1 draw from 4 matches which is very bad for this club. I would not be surprised if PSG would be winning with massive scores like that.
Mbappe has been scoring two goals and PSG seems to find that if the key player owned by the club was him. PSG was nothing without him. Mbappe will always be needed by PSG once the club was struggling in winning the game.
Mbappe can help PSG score against any team, but the win against Lyon wasn't impressive because they haven't been doing well this season..
PSG is now having same points with marseille which is also two points below monaco which is leding the league now.

Without any doubt this is one of the worst start for the Lyon in last 55 years with they have only one point from the last four games, and they already concede ten goals it's never been ideal situation for the fans as well because Lyon is having seven titles in last 22 years and things were never been worst like this but after having some updates it looks like inner politics is having his impact and things can go from bad to worse for them as well, but they need to understand realities because this will be not ideal for any party.

Right now, they are at the bottom and having 1 - 4 against PSG in last game which is clearly indicating season is going to end on terrible note with this win now PSG is at the second spot two points behind Monaco and level on points with Marseille.

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.

This problem will have to be solved in a year, so PSG have time. In addition, I think that Kolo Muani is the replacement for Mbappe - he has a long-term contract and if he progresses (or at least does not degrade), then PSG will have no problems with attack. Even now, PSG still have Dembele and Gonzalo Ramos. Many clubs could only dream of such a selection of strikers.

It's true that Mbappe is a very important player for PSG, and I think that if he went to Real this summer, PSG's attack would be very weak now, and when Mbappe are on the field, it seems that the team is playing better. Lyon started this season terribly, and by the way, Lance also surprised me very much, for the 4 rounds 1 point and 10 goals conceded.

Two big teams in the previous season experienced a rapid decline from their performance at the start of this season, one of which was Lyon and Lens. The defeat to Psg extended Lyon bad streak and what's more, they have been really bad in terms of their defense this season. For psg this was a big win which returned their position to the top of the standings and now psg is in second place. Mbappe is one of the players who has a big bond for supporting their performance this season.

Asensio managed to adapt well to PSG style of play because he started to feel comfortable partnering with Mbappe on the front lines. Luis Enrique is slowly showing his magical ability to bring PSG to victory in every game this season. Looking forward to their best quality when they play in the champions league later.

everything PSG did in yesterday match was amazing when they were left behind by points from Monaco who currently dominate the top position in the league 1 standings and it is quite convincing that betting on PSG was definitely very profitable yesterday. on the one hand, PSG opponent is not a strong team like Lyon, which has never won. winning at all since the start of the season and this gives PSG the opportunity to get more scores to catch up with Monaco points and I think this is like a strong threat to Monaco which is currently in very good condition so that while it is above PSG.

PSG's performance in yesterday's match was amazing. This team played very well. PSG's performance is showing the benefits of coaching Luis Enrique. Despite not playing well in the first two matches, PSG played very well in the subsequent matches. PSG have dominated and won the last two matches. More importantly, PSG's overall performance has stabilized. Team players are able to perform well from their respective positions. PSG players are playing well both in defense and attack. If PSG had got a coach like Luis Enrique last season, they could have done well in the Champions League. They had the best players in the world like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar.

if PSG continues to perform consistently like yesterday match Im sure at the end of the season PSG will still hold the league 1 title even though later in the UCL PSG will fail again but at least the league 1 title is more than enough but if indeed Mbappe is able to maximize his performance in the UCL there is little chance of pass to the next round.

With the performance PSG showed in yesterday's match, it seems PSG will have no problem winning the Ligue 1 title. PSG's weakness was their attack. But Luis Enrique has managed to solidify PSG's attack. Their performance has been consistent. Mbappe is also performing well. All in all, the PSG team is very stable right now. They are going to dominate Ligue 1 again.

Over the years, winning the league has never been an issue for PSG cause they've been very dominant and even win with a very good Margin so I believe this season is not going to be different and so far they've been very impressive with their performances, the good thing about this season is that they've replaced the players they lost and their attack is becoming more solid cause players are beginning to understand themselves on the pitch so dominating Ligue 1 again won't be an issue for them.
 The main focus for them is performing well in the Champions League and I can't wait to see their performance and where they'll finish at the group stage before I'll conclude that they're Champions League contenders, but I belive that if they continue with the present form they've started with, in the Champions League then they'll be very successful under Luis Enrique.

[swogerino]

Paris has now the attack of the France national team with Mbappe and Koloumany and this was felt yesterday night when they completely dominated the game away at Lyon home,they even scored loads of goals and showed an extremely entertaining football yesterday night,I had quite some time without seeing a Paris like that.I think it is due to the fact that Mbappe now has nowhere to move as 31 August passed and he will be playing with them until 31 December,also Koloumany is a great forwarder too.Lyon is in bad shape in this beginning of the season and yesterday Paris made them look even worse than they are,I don't think they will play for Europe this year,same as last year and it means them as a team are down as they were usual in European competition.

I hope so but it will far better if mbappe agrees to stay even longer in this club. Muani can also play as winger as well. He can also substitute mbappe once he faces injury. Asensio is playing as a centre forward right now. Kolo muani will be able to replace him to build a very good trio to replace mbappe neymar messi. I will prefer to put muani as a central striker rather than mbappe. PSG has a perfect lineup by having mbappe as left winger and dembele as right winger. That means the team shall not face a trouble once one of these players gets injury.

Enrique can also try to use different mechanism like put two strikers as well. The future of mbappe is still remain uncertain at this moment. PSG was almost selling mbappe to the real madrid.
The good thing if PSG was trying to make negotiation with mbappe. I hope he will stay for another year in PSG.

With this win, PSG slowly but surely returns to the top position. They are only two points behind AS Monaco, who have started this season better than PSG. If Mbappe stays at this Parisian club until the end of this season, there is a great chance for PSG to win the Ligue 1 championship again.
Kylian Mbappe will always be a key player at PSG to be able to make this club get a trophy every season, especially this season where they will try again getting the best results in the Champions League is because that is PSG's main target.
International break, Mbappe will play to strengthen the French national team and will return to PSG after that to play against Nice, against Nice PSG will again try to get 3 points and it looks like it will not be a difficult match for them to win, and Mbappe will score goals again  to make him continue to be the most productive striker at the club including in that league, because he has scored 5 goals in the 3 matches he has played.

PSG's landslide victory could not be separated from the poor performance of the home team. but at the same time, PSG players began to find the rhythm of play that Luis Enrique wanted. The system that Enrique implemented is starting to work as he wants, even though it hasn't yet shown a very solid game. once again, Mbappe's presence in the PSG squad did not escape being a strength on their front lines. no one doubts the greatness of this player, in fact he has scored 5 goals in 3 matches with Paris Saint-Germain. But in any case, the victory achieved by PSG cannot be separated from the role of its colleagues when playing on the field.

Now, PSG is starting to show its strength again under the guidance of Luis Enrique. win over Lyon, bringing PSG to 2nd place behind Monaco with a difference of only 2 points. IMO, it's only a matter of time for PSG to shift the position of the top standings. for the Champions League, I still doubt it. at least, PSG must show its consistency and solidity of bonds within PSG itself. and this, will be Enrique's job as well as the biggest challenge.

After losing two of the best strikers in the squad, I thought PSG's performance would drop this season. But this is not the case. Their performance in the first two matches was very slow. PSG team drew against two weaker teams in two matches. But now they are back in the truck. We are seeing excellent team performance. Luis Enrique has been able to stabilize the team very quickly. With Mbappe, another experienced striker in the squad, PSG's attacks would have been sharper. Marco Asensio is playing very well though. He managed to score two goals and one assist in three matches. Luis Enrique has been Spain's coach for a long time. So he is very familiar with Asensio. This is why we are seeing excellent performances from the pair of Asensio and Mbappe.

We all know that fighting Lyon is not something difficult for PSG so they can pick up three points in last night's match even though there is a two point difference with Monaco at the top of the standings, of course it will not be a problem, PSG can definitely catch up and overtake Monaco at the top of the standings. At least PSG can be in 2nd place at the top of the Ligue 1 standings for the time being and it won't be difficult for PSG to shift Monaco there.

It's true, PSG with current strength still doubts in the UCL later and is not convincing with the current performance of the main squad, therefore, this is Enrique's opportunity to show all PSG fans that he can bring PSG at least through the group to the semifinals or even the UCL final later, although in reality it will be difficult because against clubs in group F there will also be difficulties and surprises if PSG are still not very consistent in their current main squad.

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.

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.

However, they must improve quickly, and it is possible that if this continues their coach will be the first coach to be sacked by one of the Ligue 1 clubs in this case Lens.
That usually happens often, if a coach cannot show a good game at the beginning then he will become a victim. And now 4 games with consecutive defeats is something very bad, and I'm starting to think whether they should quickly decide to find a new coach, I think they will wait at least the next 2 to 3 games, or sooner than that.

Paris has now the attack of the France national team with Mbappe and Koloumany and this was felt yesterday night when they completely dominated the game away at Lyon home,they even scored loads of goals and showed an extremely entertaining football yesterday night,I had quite some time without seeing a Paris like that.I think it is due to the fact that Mbappe now has nowhere to move as 31 August passed and he will be playing with them until 31 December,also Koloumany is a great forwarder too.Lyon is in bad shape in this beginning of the season and yesterday Paris made them look even worse than they are,I don't think they will play for Europe this year,same as last year and it means them as a team are down as they were usual in European competition.

After the first 2 matches they could only draw, they slowly showed improvement by winning the last 2 matches, including this match. Not only winning, they also played well so this victory is something they deserve. They should have played like this from the beginning, regardless of Lyon's performance which is also not good, but they can take advantage of the momentum very well. Mbappe again showed his quality with 2 goals that he managed to score in this match.

In the 4th week of French Ligue 1, Lille defeated Montpellier 1-0 with Yusuf Yazıcı's wonderful free kick goal. Yusuf Yazıcı is a footballer who I expect to do very well in terms of his skills, but he has not reached his potential. If he gets the chance to play regularly for Lille this season, he will continue to gain experience. The great goal he scored in this game will give him a chance to play a few more games. Next week they will play away against Rennes. They didn't start this season well but they have won their last two games. If they beat Rennes they can start a winning streak.

Lille having decent start of this season with seven points from four games is not bad at all this win against Montpellier give them fifth spot even their attack is not good as they need to for the having better result against quality teams but with this current level of performance can help them for staying into good spot and fight hard for the UEFA spot right now they are alone in Conference Cup which is going to start in coming days but before this they have to play against Rennes which is also having good start of this season as they are having six points from four games with three draws and one win Lille never lost against Rennes which is good record if they are able to won then surely they can enjoy good chance for staying here at this spot.

[rendravolt]

Lyon is still getting very bad results in the fourth week and this time PSG is their nightmare in the home game. From the first minute Lyon was heavily attacked by PSG and they conceded 4 goals in the first half. This advantage is very impossible for Lyon to catch up and PSG is certain to win with this landslide score. Lyon was only able to shorten the defeat with 1 goal which they scored at the end of the match. Very very bad results put Lyon at the bottom of the standings and PSG are so confident at the top and only two points away from Monaco.

They've been impressive so far and in four matches they've had 2 wins a lose and 1 draw and are sitted 5th on the table, I'm impressed with their performance against Montpellier who are currently 14th on the table and the free kick goal by Yazici is something to talk about because it came as a surprise to everyone and has made the headlines and alot of eyes would be on him to see how he'll do this season, I hope performs better as the season goes so bigger clubs would come after him, which would be good for his career.
 Their next league match is with Riems after the Europa Conference group stage game against Olimpija and I hope they don't sustain any injury because Riems is also a good side and are currently sitted on the 4th position with 7 points as well so the match is going to be a tough one to predict, I think I'll go with a 1.5 goals in the match.

[Blitzboy]

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.

Lens has only one point after four matches. Last season, Lens was all everyone was talking about. I mean, they had a great run that made even Monaco look like a rookie. Now what? Its like watching a whole other team. I've seen better performances by school teams. They have lost a few players, but this drop is, to put it mildly, not what they expected. Metz might give them the emotional boost they need so badly. And then there's the upcoming match against Sevilla in Europe. Fun fact: Sevilla has also had a rough time in La Liga. Will it be a fight between the losers?

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.

First two matches were enough for having things into better way because now in last two and half matches we have five goals from the Mbappé which mean he is capable of changing things by his own, and it's enough for the management to bring him back and change the fortune of this club as well.

Luis Enrique is also understanding the chemistry of this team which is good and with this understanding now we can expect good performance in both events French League is currently looking not tough job because Monaco is now leading by only two points and Marseille is also having same eight points, but both are having not enough quality to stand with PSG for the long time, but their main target is still Champions League which things could be not easy like we have here in this league.

Just like i said yesterday that Lyon still unable to out from poor results so that's why i was so confident PSG will be able to win the match and the result is according to my thought because PSG has successfully to humiliated Lyon with huge scores and after this loses Lyon position currently at 18th place with 1 point from 4 matches and their defensive lines was so poor because until week 4 Lyon have already conceded 10 goals and besides that for forward lines only Lacazette who can able to performing well and if this player was absense Lyon cannot able to scores and this proven from Lyon statistics that when Lacazette was not able to performing well Lyon usually will lose and this is big alert for Laurent Blanc because if in the next matches Lyon cannot able to gets the winning results then i am sure his position as a manager will be threaten

The starting could have definitely been better for Lille. But this performance is also pretty decent. I will also say that they are going to improve as the season goes on. The performance from Montpellier has not been good though. They have to improve quickly, they have finished at the 12th place in the last season. Right now they are in the 14th position. Which is quite close to the relegation zone.  I know they have a lot of time in the season and I am also not saying that just because they are close to the relegation zone. They will definitely be relegated. I just want to say that they have to improve and finish better compared to where they did in the last season.

I would also like to talk about PSG as well. I think this time they might actually have a competition for that title. The situation in the team is not very good. Probably the other teams can actually take advantage of that.

[QueenVera]

That's what happens when a top club fails to strengthen their squad against a new season and not only strengthening the club bit with the right players and so far they've been very terrible this season and every other teams would be taking advantage of their poor form which could make them end up being relegated if care if not taken, they should be thankful to the International break which would give the coach enough time to rest and strategies on how to get his team back to winning.
 Lacazette has lost his form over the years which made Arsenal to offload him and even if he's a good player, he's not the type that a whole team can be dependent on and him being their star player makes them look more weak because only him cannot make a difference if others are underperforming, I feel so sorry for their coach Laurent Blanc because if they lose their next two matches he might end up losing his job so early.
