My Weekend Predictions For ligue 1 matches are:
^snip~

Lyon have not been so good this season, but a draw could have happened, but I expected Lyon to win. Indeed, twice they competed in a draw. But tomorrow Lyon will struggle to climb the rankings because they are currently in 7th position. Their strengths are not much different, Lyon only excel because they play at home. Their squad is also evenly matched not much different, so I think lyon's chances with the advantage as hosts should be put to good use to win.

Poch is not doin enough for this PSG side, their champions League group matches are not going well in my opinion Paris Saint Germain should have be crushing team's but still they struggle, I think if Paris Saint Germain didn't go far at the champions League this season they will have to cut ties with Mauricio Pochetino. You can't have Mbappe, Neymar and Messi and not be the best team in Europe.

PSG are leading at the Ligue 1 standings. But, their focus this season are mainly on winning the Champion League title, and if they don't achieve that. Pochettino might probably get sacked. With their current squad, they are not supposed to be struggling when it comes to winning of matches in the Champion League. They only won 2 out of the 4 matches which have been played so far. However,PSG indeed have great players and I hope to see them beat Manchester City on the 24th.

@blackened515 I don’t think sacking Poch will be a good idea even if they don’t win the champions league, because they brought so many player’s this year, and he’ll need at least one full season to gel them and make a winning squad. Also I feel that winning the league title will save him the sack, but in case he fails to win the letitle and champions league then yea he’ll be sacked.

Lyon is in the 7th position currently and has almost had a form of the points that the number one team has. Currently, PSG is leading this table with 34 points and Lyon currently has 19 points. But the good thing is is the point difference between the first and the second team is 10. So if they could get some wins in their bag they might be able to be e in the top three when the season finishes.

The reality is that Lyon have not lost at home so far and in contrast to their opponents, Marseille's away game so far looks good having only got one loss. But when we consider the head to head results, then we will get a record where Lyon is very good which can at least dominate when playing at home. The current point difference won't have a big impact on this match, so a draw is very likely indeed.

This week's continuation of Ligue 1 brings together the classic Lyon Vs Marseille match, even though Marseille are at the top of the standings compared to Lyon's position but Lyon always manages to win when playing at home, this is a pretty good statistic for Lyon for this week's match against Marseille. Can Lyon maintain a positive trend to be able to win at home or even Marseille will give different results for Lyon.

It's normal for a player to have a long injury in a team. PSG haven't had the chance to play former Real Madrid man Sergio Ramos through injury but I have seen him start training separately in the gym which will probably be good news for PSG and their fans as it is a sign that Sergio Ramos will soon be back on the pitch. After the international break you can probably expect a lot from this player in the PSG defence if he really can be played by the coach.

I'm also a little surprised, Ramos is injured it seems that until now I have never seen him in an official PSG match. What I know is that he has a lot of injury history at Madrid. I've read that he had tendon injuries, torn muscle fibers and meniscus. Then if I'm not mistaken, currently Ramos has a Betis injury that he got while playing for Madrid. Besides that, it seems that the age factor is getting old. The signing of Ramos looks like it will make PSG even more great, but so far your predictions are wrong. PSG did not seem to care much about it and dared to give a contract to Ramos.

Well, I think the club should give him enough time which he needs. A player cannot control this type of injury most of the time and let me tell you that a player really wishes to never be injured. I hope he gets better and comes back strongly.

However,PSG indeed have great players and I hope to see them beat Manchester City on the 24th.

Paris Saint-Germain one of the most decorated team in club competitions. No single lost in any match in the group stage of the competition up until now, and they will comfortably on the next round. Manchester City encountered a 2-0 loss with Paris Saint-Germain in their most recent meeting back in September in Champion League contest. Having a great squad Paris Saint-Germain has advantages, and I won't surprise PSG again beat Manchester City on the 24th.

Lens are still maintaining their impressive and high-quality performance in the Ligue 1. We have left thirteen weeks behind and they are still at the second position in the standings. They seem to be very determined to achieve a big success for them this season. Maybe they are ten points behind PSG now but it is totally normal. There is a big strength gap in the end and PSG benefit from it a lot. I've no doubt that Lens will fight for ending the season at the second position. But I wonder how far they can keep this great form.

I think PSG should be doing better than they are doing currently. Because their squad is far better than what they are producing. And with the squad, they should produce better results in the Champions League. But I still think that they will beat Manchester City.

Lyon - Marseille seems to be another interesting game of the weekend. While Lyon are trying to recover after starting really badly, Marseille are having a not very impressive period in the league these days. Because they won only two of their last five Ligue 1 games and drew with their opponents in the rest of them. They are already 11 points behind the leader but I accept that none of the teams have a big chance against PSG to win the title. But I believe that both teams will put a big effort in the game to win. So my first choice would be BTTS.

It looks like PSG will not give up the Ligue 1 trophy this season, PSG learned from their mistakes last season and failed to win the Ligue 1 trophy.
Now PSG's position at the top is quite safe with a difference of 10 points with Lens who is in second position. PSG only need to play consistently
until the end of the season, and they have started to show it in 13 matches in Ligue 1.

But very different from what happened in the Champions League, PSG threw away points by drawing twice with two weaker team in Grup A.
PSG should have beaten Club Brugge and Leipzig easily, but PSG instead threw away points against both teams. Therefore PSG is only in second
place under Man City at the moment, I think PSG should be able to show a much better game in the Champions League, moreover PSG has quite
a lot of star players, they should be able to maximize the star players they have. This season PSG's main target is to win the Champions League
trophy, so they have to show a much better performance if they really want to win the Champions League trophy. The next week PSG will play away
to face Man City, the previous meeting at home PSG quite convincingly beat Man City. So I hope they can beat Man City too when they play away,
that way PSG prove they deserve to be winners of the Champions League trophy this season.

Monaco vs Lille is the upcoming match and it is gonna be the only match of the day also. It is good to have a big match like this as an opening one. However, it is actually not that big as each team are having a season that they struggle a lot in it. They both are placed in the middle of the league table now. It is more like a draw match. But if I am to choose one of them to win, I'd prefer Monaco. And I assume each team will score a goal or more.

I was surprised they signed Pochettino in the first place and let Tuchel go, but that is because Leonardo is too proud to allow others also to have a say in the club Pochettino started there and I am quite sure he promised to do everything that the club wants him to do. Tuchel doesn't work like that, he has his own ideas. Now there is this star ensemble and Pochettino, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Some people say he is a world class coach, but I never perceived him like that.

Tuchel success make PSG for the first time on champion league final but the management is not happy because failed to get trophy of champion league and this reason why Tuchel kick from PSG, but bad thing happen under Pochettino almost two years with PSG he failed and for the first time Ligue 1 trophy miss out from PSG hand. I think he keeps for longer time with PSG although few match loss and miss many trophies at the early season.

Because in the next season, Tuchel failed to bring the solid domination in Ligue 1 that makes the PSG board disappointed. They prioritized Champions League but it does not mean they sacrifice Ligue 1. Bad results in Ligue 1 can cause internal conflict that is not what the PSG board want to see.

They think Pochettino can do better works than Tuchel but so far it does not right. As part of a hilarious story, Tuchel instantly won Champions League after he left PSG and joined Chelsea in second half of season.

Pochettino is still struggling to find how to best combine PSG players and manage to win in Ligue 1 and Champions League. There is not much time left for him because the season is coming to important period. January and February next year will be decisive for the job of Pochettino in PSG.

Yes, when the statistics are not much different then it can be said that this match is a balanced match. Also, when the two look balanced then of course the home team has a better chance of winning. Even other than that, even though they are currently in the middle of the standings but in reality these two teams are quite good at European tournaments like CL and EL. Lille here are title holders but that doesn't seem to have had a big impact on their performance so far this season, and as such I agree or have the same prediction as you for Monaco maybe to win by a few goals.

PSG current position at the top of the standings is quite safe with a distance of 10 points between PSG and Lens who are currently in second position, I think the distance of points is quite far so that Lens is very difficult to catch up, of course it does not rule out the possibility if PSG can champions before Ligue 1 competition end this season, I think with the current conditions, maybe it's better for PSG to focus on the target of winning their first champions league trophy this season.

Looking statistic most better PSG under Tuchel than PSG position right now, beside PSG success get many star player in this season and different during PSG under Tuchel, with Messi I think Pochettino become easy how to make PSG keep success in champion league and right now dominance with Ligue 1 on first position and get 10 points from second place, but most important is how PSG can get champion league trophy with star player composition in this season.

PSG has a goal in its big ambition of league 1 trophy and the champions league will still be pursued this season, but it is seen from the squad of the players this is much different from last season so I make sure PSG can win again this season for league 1.
Regarding the situation of the champions league it is still difficult to predict, even though the PSG players are not in doubt, but there are still other views that I think are much greater than PSG, and this can only be competitive when they meet each other in the quarter-finals or the semifinals, if they qualify.

when compared between these two coaches actually i feel poch is even worse than tuchel. and PSG's wrong decision kicked tuchel so they anchored in chelsea at this time.
but on the other hand there is one other reason that he was sacked from PSG and this was revealed by Tuchel himself when he was interviewed and he revealed one of the reasons he was sacked by Paris Saint-Germain because of a dispute with the club's directors over the transfer of players.
