French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Btc_1856]

Yeah don't hype it. Let PSG to show its progress first. The upcoming match will be a very easy game for PSG if the club keep to perform the same like when it was beating marseille. I have been picking PSG to win the match against clermont.
It seems like the easiest match to predict this week. Don't tell me if clermont will able to trash PSG and fans will be booing the players. Winning against clermont is a must for the prais saint german club.

Everything is still remain good at this moment for PSG. The chance to win another league 1 trophy is very big right now.

PSG is a team with a much superior quality of players in this tournament, and the League 1 trophy is almost for them every season.
Talking about Clermont, they only won 1 point after the first 6 rounds in Ligue 1 this season and are returning to the French Second Division. Compared to last season, Clermont declined so much that fans couldn't recognize their favorite team. If Mbappé does not start this match, PSG still has a high win rate. Goncalo Ramos or Bradley Barcola will replace him. They and Ousmane Dembele will create a new spearhead for PSG. PSG has begun to stabilize the squad. Even when playing at home, it will be difficult for Clermont to create a surprise against PSG this time.

It seems like things started to go well for PSG a little more these days. That big win over Marseille was unexpected for me honestly. I thought that it would be a close game but Marseille couldn't do much. They were just terrible at defending their opponent as well. This will surely make a nice boost in the morale level of PSG players.

This time Mbappe didn't even score or make an assist. Without his help they won by 4-0. This should be called as progress but I won't be hyped already now. We need to see them maintaining the same team effort for a long time.

PSG should be in this position, but what has happened in the last few matches has made the situation within this team even more chaotic.
I don't think there is anything better at PSG if it doesn't make an impressive performance in the UCL, because in my opinion on the European stage they are their real opponents if you look at the level of this team but unfortunately this is difficult for them to achieve.
However, what has happened recently is a positive thing that has made it possible for the PSG team to be consistent in their performance.

PSG is a team with a much superior quality of players in this tournament, and the League 1 trophy is almost for them every season.
Talking about Clermont, they only won 1 point after the first 6 rounds in Ligue 1 this season and are returning to the French Second Division. Compared to last season, Clermont declined so much that fans couldn't recognize their favorite team. If Mbappé does not start this match, PSG still has a high win rate. Goncalo Ramos or Bradley Barcola will replace him. They and Ousmane Dembele will create a new spearhead for PSG. PSG has begun to stabilize the squad. Even when playing at home, it will be difficult for Clermont to create a surprise against PSG this time.

I think Clermont is not going to be an issue for the Ligue 1 giants  cause their currently at the bottom of the table and are yet to win any game, which shows that their performance this season is very poor and I don't think they'll be strong enough to face PSG who destroyed Marseille in their last match and have good quality players that are currently in form, even though Mbappe is in a good form I don't think the coach would want to start him he'll like to rest him against their champions league match against Newcastle.
 
 Barcola's performance was very brilliant against  Marseille and could likely be Mbappés replacement to face Cleremont foot, but theirs still other good options especially Kolo Muani who scored  brace against Marseille, but I don't think the match against Clermont foot would be tough for them, Enrique might probably rest most of his key players, to be very fit to play against Newcastle.

[Jody.Drummer]

With the problems that Osimhen and Napoli are currently facing and in the last transfer season it was reported that Real Madrid was also interested in Osimhen, will this reduce Real Madrid's interest in Mbappe and will they be more interested in getting Osimhen?
I think the current conditions will have quite an influence on the possibility of Mbappe moving to Real Madrid, because after all, Mbappe's salary will certainly be bigger than Madrid buying Osimhen.
In terms of productivity, Mbappe is indeed above Osimhen, but with Real Madrid's strong midfielder I think Osimhen could be even more productive there, but Madrid will get other benefits from Mbappe being their player in terms of merchandise sales, or maybe these two strikers will partner up at this big club.

We'll see how far the news of disharmony between Osimhen and Napoli, because if the situation does not improve then the opportunity for Osimhen to leave will be greater. We know that in the previous season many were eyeing Osimhen, but Napoli still want to keep this player in the squad this season.  I don't know the exact situation of Napoli with Osimhen, but certainly the news came in recent days.
Linking him with Real Madrid, it's clear that Osimhen would probably be cheaper than the Paris Siant Germain star. But Real Madrid must be considering which player he will take.

[borovichok]

PSG should be in this position, but what has happened in the last few matches has made the situation within this team even more chaotic.
I don't think there is anything better at PSG if it doesn't make an impressive performance in the UCL, because in my opinion on the European stage they are their real opponents if you look at the level of this team but unfortunately this is difficult for them to achieve.
However, what has happened recently is a positive thing that has made it possible for the PSG team to be consistent in their performance.

PSG are ranked third on the table, but there's absolutely nothing to worry about because the Parisians always come out in dominated figure. PSG headcoach, Luis Enrique is concentrated on the primary objectives of the team, winning the UEFA Champions League and also lifting Ligue One title which is undoubtedly theirs only if they maintain consistent streak winnings in games. There's alot about the club, presently facing difficulties in winning their opponents, exactly what Luis Enrique is working on, to restored trust into the hearts of the Parisians.

[ancafe]

Yes, even though Mbappe is always relied on by Luis Enrique, Luis Enrique still needs his other subordinates to have abilities like Mbappe so that they don't just rely on him at the club because if one day Mbappe leaves PSG they have to be able to stabilize their performance so they don't experience problems.
This cooperation between the PSG teams seems to be an example for other clubs so that they don't just rely on star players in a club because if something like this happens, it is not impossible that a club will experience a significant decline and be unable to stabilize the condition of the club.

Therefore, Mbappe must really recover quickly and return to the club in order to face the Champions League because currently PSG's opponents are top clubs so it is difficult for PSG to face them if they if you don't have a capable attacker.

Every coach definitely has several mainstay players in the squad and usually they are players who can make a difference in every match even though every player they have is a mainstay in achieving victory every time they play. The other players that Luis Enrique currently has are below Mbappe's skills and that is why Mbappe's presence is considered very important in every match they play, especially when it comes to the Champions League competition.

Luis Enrique also has to show other players as a solution when Mbappe is injured and currently he has several forward players who can be relied on for the matches that will take place in the future, both in Ligeu 1 and the Champions League. Although Mbappe's absence will make their front line less dangerous and Luis Enrique must find a solution to this problem.

[wmaurik]

Yes, Mbappe couldn't help PSG in this game and all the goals were scored without his help. But Marseille played very badly, that's why this result happened. I guess it can be called a fortunate or a luck for PSG. Now they are in third place and they need to keep winning to gain more points and try to become leaders again.

The next match for PSG could also be very profitable for PSG because PSG will play against the lowest ranked team in Ligue1 this season so this could provide an opportunity for PSG to reach a better position than its current position. Because in the near future Brest and Nice will also meet to compete and if the Brest and Nice match can end with a draw, it will be much more profitable for PSG. But it would be a different story if one of them (Nice and Brest) could win the match.

But it would be a different story if one of them (Nice and Brest) could win the match.

That's right, PSG should be able to take advantage of this moment well, the chance of securing a full result against Clermont is very big. I think Luis Enrique could use a second string of players for this match, and save the key players for the UCL group stage match against Newcastle. Enrique is likely to use this option to anticipate player fatigue and injuries, and Clermont can be handled well because they are in poor form.

On the other hand, the Brest versus Nice match will benefit PSG if there is a draw, but Nice will have a big advantage because they are playing at home, so a draw is likely to be difficult. What is clear is that PSG must consistently gain points to keep their distance from the top of the standings, because Ligue 1 is increasingly competitive this season.

I don't think it was a surprising win for PSG, but it was a deserved win for them as PSG was able to control the game. Last season PSG also managed to beat Marseille with a score of 0-3, but of course PSG still had Messi as their striker.

Kylian Mbappe couldn't finish this match due to injury, so he only had 30 minutes on the pitch before being replaced by Gonçalo Ramos. The match went according to plan for PSG, but Mbappe's injury is something that will worry PSG. Mabppe has added to the list of injured players for PSG because so far Marco Asensio, Nuno Mendes and Presnel Kimpembe are also known to have injuries. However, as long as Gonçalo Ramos is able to prove his abilities, then I don't think PSG will lack attack power in the next match.

The next match for PSG could also be very profitable for PSG because PSG will play against the lowest ranked team in Ligue1 this season so this could provide an opportunity for PSG to reach a better position than its current position. Because in the near future Brest and Nice will also meet to compete and if the Brest and Nice match can end with a draw, it will be much more profitable for PSG. But it would be a different story if one of them (Nice and Brest) could win the match.

PSG hopefully will stop at nothing to secure a full point from this game as it's like a bonus game for them. They need nothing but a win from this game to maintain a good point on the standing, Clermont is one of the lowest ranking in the Ligue 1 and definitely doesn't stand a chance with PSG even with their home advantage it still seems not enough.

PSG might try to rest some of its players against the champions league game against Newcastle next week so they may have to play only but few of their top players and others from their reserve, even at that I still feel they will definitely win the game as their second team is still better than Clermont in the Ligue 1, comfortably they should be able to win them.

PSG have one of their major play in the person of mbappe injured, I hope he gets back before the champions league game against Newcastle as his presence will be very much needed, as champions league I highly competitive and only the best wins, so they need give out only their best as they will be facing a strong team in their home, it will definitely be a hard one for them, hopefully the get a draw in the worse case.

But it would be a different story if one of them (Nice and Brest) could win the match.

After all, even though PSG is inconsistent to get a win in every match, but in the end PSG will still have a chance to win the Ligue 1 title. Because in my judgment right now, it seems that no team can take advantage of PSG bad situation at this moment, because they or teams other in Ligue 1 than PSG also do not have the quality to be consistent with three points in each match. Therefore, although PSG is still inconsistent to win, but in the end PSG will always have a chance to return to the top of the Ligue 1 standings.

[tusandii]

After losing points in 5 matches in a row, Lens managed to earn points against Toulouse in the last match. Lens's performance in this match was slightly different compared to previous matches. Lens players attacked a lot, probably 27 shots in total by Lens players in this match. If the offensive part of Lens was strong, then the team would have won this match with a bigger margin.

Not sure if Lens will win against Strasbourg. Their performance has improved. Still, the Strasbourg team is not a weak team. I guess this match will be a draw. I cannot consider the Strasbourg team as favourites. Because I saw the performance of Lens in the last match.

From several predictions made here, I have the same opinion that Lens is likely to win this match because even though the start of the season was very bad, seeing Lens' performance in their last match makes me confident that Lens can win the match against Strasbourg, even though many say that Strasbourg is not a good club. weak but for me its current performance is still stable but if it competes with Lens it looks like it will have difficulty.
Even though Strasbourg will be the host, it doesn't mean that playing at home always has a bigger chance of winning because many clubs lose at home, even big clubs or top clubs can also lose at home, so there is no doubt that you have to bet on Lens in this match. .

It's not that PSG were in a bad situation at the start of their match, but the new players needed to adapt well to their teammates, the system implemented by the coach, and also what Enrique wanted. some of the newcomers they brought in in this summer's transfer window, are not ready and established players. Goncalo Ramos, needs time to reach his level. Likewise with Kolo Muani, Kang-in Lee, Urgate, they really need adaptation and a strong bond to achieve what Enrique wants. but now they are starting to find their rhythm, even though it is not really ideal.

Likewise with PSG's competitors in Ligue 1, even top teams like Manaco, Marseille, Lillie, they were inconsistent at the start of this season, let alone Lyon and Lens.
This week, PSG will visit Clermont headquarters. the home team, currently sits at the bottom of the standings.  3 points, is something they must get. Thus, PSG will return to the top of the Ligue 1 standings. However, with the condition that the Nice vs Brestois match ends in a draw. despite all that, gradually PSG will top the Lique 1 standings and this is just a matter of time.

[sana54210]

Enrique is a proven coach he's managed alot of big players in the past, and I believe he'll do same at PSG with Kylian Mbappè, they both need eachothers trust to excel this season and I believe sooner or later the players would be on their best performance, most of them are already understanding the basics and performing well especially Hakimi that's scored in several matches and even scored a free kick game, i won't even be suprised to see Dembele performing very well at PSG cause that what Enrique is good at, bringing out the best in his players.
 PSG would definitely win the league title but I think their main focus this season would be on the Champions League trophy, I won't be very easy to achieve but with the help of Kylian Mbappe they'll try to go far in the tournament maybe get to the semi's or so.

you are right There is no doubt that Luis Enrique is an experienced coach. He has worked with many star players. He was also able to strengthen the young Spain team. Luis Enrique has no shortage of experience. But the problem is that I don't think PSG's squad is strong enough this season. If Mbappe had another experienced striker with PSG then I'd say PSG have a worthy squad to consistently do well in Ligue 1 and the Champions League. Apart from Mbappe, the squad has talented strikers like Ramos, Dembele and Asensio. But their performance is erratic. I would say PSG needed a striker like Osimhen.

He is a great manager there is nothing wrong with him, the club is also doing fine and better about building a team, because before this year they were more obssed about getting star players and more names and basically all around PR moves on transfers, sort of like what Saudi Arabia is doing right now, their entire system was built on getting players with big names.

They are doing better because they are getting players that would help them win titles nowadays and the ones that will actually do something. That is the most important part of it all and I believe that they are going to be good. Look at the manager and the roster, with that combination I am sure that they are going to keep getting better soon.

That's match is still difficult for me to predict, based on Head To Head in the 5 matches when they met the both teams were quite equal. It seems like there is a possibility that match will end in a draw result, although Lens performance in the last match has improved. But I think Strasbourg may will be able to hold Lens a draw in tomorrow match, considering that they will also be playing at home and their performance at home is quite good, because in several matches so far Strasbourg not lost at home. The current odds for Lens at @2.26, actually quite good if betting on Lens but I personally would probably miss this match.

Don't you think the Ligue 1 title could go to another club this season? If you think that PSG can easily win the league title this season, then I have a lot of difference with your idea. I think PSG will not win this season's league title, and even if they do, PSG will have to work harder and improve their team performance. Suppose suddenly Mbappe gets injured and misses 5 to 7 matches of the season due to injury and those 5 to 7 matches make PSG worse, then can PSG recover 5 to 7 months points, never. 

Considering the team performance and thinking that there might be some injury problems, you might agree with me that this season is not going to be easy for PSG.

Considering the team performance and thinking that there might be some injury problems, you might agree with me that this season is not going to be easy for PSG.

The only reason for people to say PSG is going to win the French League title is mostly because of the players they have and the better financial situation they have in their team, we know in the French League, there are not many other teams they want to invest lots of money in their teams other than PSG, also the coach they hired in this transfer window know him job about how to win the title.

[Wiwo]

Because of whats going on with Mbappe right now, I really understand the worries. Yes, PSG is in a tough spot because they depend a lot on a player who could be leaving soon. Even though Mbappe's injury isn't too bad, I agree that this could be a chance for PSG to come up with a plan without him. I've seen the spark in his 7 goals this season, which is an amazing show of skill and fealty. The fact that PSG scored four goals without him in their last game is a sign of hope. That being said, Enrique does need to come up with a solid plan that doesnt count on a single star player, does he? The game against Newcastle will just be a test! Wouldnt it be great to have a good game plan that doesnt depend on Mbappe's presence alone?

PSG should have a replacement or substituted to Mbappe and as a matter of fact his injury will not and should not have any negative impact on the performance of the club,  reason being that,  be for Mbappe came aboard PSG,  the club suffered a similar players shortage before due to injuries some time their record multiple cases of injuries against their players.

So that has made them to build up reserve players that can easily swap wings to cover up and bring home positive records for PSG but then we hope that Mbappe's own case will be easier to solve since he just got into the club.

Although Mbappe's absence will make their front line less dangerous and Luis Enrique must find a solution to this problem.

Mbappe has really had a big influence on PSG and maybe if Mbappe is absent for a few weeks it will make Luis Enrique a little difficult because he has to replace Mbappe so he can be used as a striker who has the same abilities as Mbappe and I think for the time being Luis Enrique will choose Goncalo Ramos as Mbappe's replacement, even though his abilities are still below Mbappe's, there is no harm in choosing this option because as we saw previously when PSG played against Marseille, Goncalo Ramos was able to appear impressive and was able to score 2 goals in that match.
In the next match, PSG will face Clermont at the Stade Gabriel Montpied Stadium. I don't think Luis Enrique is too worried about that because Clermont is not a very strong club and its position is at the bottom of the standings, but what I am worried about is during the Champions League match against Newcastle if Mbappe cannot return PSG club will experience difficulties.

With the kind of big impact Kylian Mbappe has on the Paris Saint Germaine team, he'll definitely be missed whenever he's not in action for the club despite how good the manager Luis Enrique is in rotating his squad. Mbappe is the best and the most important player of the PSG team and that's why he'll always be missed whenever he's not playing.
That being said, I think whenever he's absent for the club should another opportunity for the club manager to start preparing for life without Mbappe since it's believed that the Frenchman will leaves the club at the end of the season.
