French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[sana54210]

I was very surprised when I found out that Gianluigi Donnarumma got a red card in the opening minutes and I still don't know the details of why he had to be sent off by the referee. But what is clear is that this is very detrimental for PSG when they have wide open opportunities to widen the gap from Nice but have to suffer the loss of losing their main goalkeeper. However, even though PSG is currently ahead with 1 goal scored by Kylian Mbappe, it is still quite worrying if there is a draw in the remaining minutes.

The match has been going on for around 75 minutes and there are 15 minutes remaining in normal time. If PSG succeeds in maintaining this advantage or can increase their number of goals, of course their victory will be guaranteed, but if their defense starts to weaken, Le Havre will make good use of it to end in a draw.

I was surprised when the referee issued a red card in the 9th minute without even thinking. It was a very early problem for PSG to stay with 10 men on the field. Kylian Mbabbe scored a beautiful goal, as always, and with this goal, PSG took the lead 1-0 with 10 players.

PSG could keep the score very well with 10 player and they continued their search for goals without retreating to defense. He scored that relief goal in Vitinya, even though it was a little late, he gave his team a sigh of relief in extra time.

It's not easy to have your goalkeeper out in the very early minutes of the game... I wonder why La Havre couldn't find a goal when the goal was empty since PSG goalkeeper got red carded and they had nobody at the goal.... Lol, jokes aside I really thought for a moment that PSG would have harder time because it's not easy to go 80+ minutes with just 10 people, they may have easily lost this game and nobody would question why, it's obvious because of the early red card.

It's also a shame for whoever was the one that got out so the new goalkeeper could go in, your goalkeeper is the one that got red carded and now you have to get benched lol. It was much closer game then what the score shows, they are definitely having trouble with it and I saw a game that was basically played at both sides and very minimum at midfield, both teams attacked a lot, some successful some terrible attacks but the ball was around both fields all game long without a doubt.

I agree with what you say because PSG is actually the only team that is better than the other teams in Ligue 1. Nice has had an extraordinary job this season, it can be seen from their goals conceded per game ratio. The goals per game ratio is quite low for a team trying to fight for the title with PSG, but of course getting points is much more important than the number of goals scored.

So currently PSG has created a safe points gap to be at the top of the standings. Nice, Monaco and Lille have a gap of 4, 6 and 7 points with PSG, so I think PSG is pretty safe at the top. Of course, it's still possible to expect PSG to drop points in the remainder of the season, but PSG are the favorites to win the title and dominate it every season.

There is no doubt about PSG strength in Ligue 1 where they are the best compared to other teams. Even though Nice this season is able to provide big changes for their progress, they will suffer the same fate as Monaco who will find it difficult to be consistent until the end of the season. This season PSG can be said to have overhauled their team on a large scale to strengthen their squad, PSG is filled with new faces but they are still quite strong and it will even be difficult for Nice to break Psg dominance. Dembele has really integrated into PSG game and Ramos is also increasingly active in scoring goals and their superstar Mbappe has again found his best qualities. I am sure that with the quality of players that Psg has, it will be quite easy for them to secure the title this season.

Nice and PSG secured different results in the matches they played this week where PSG secured 3 points while Nice lost 3 points. On the other hand, Lens are starting to recover in improving their progress where 3 consecutive wins make them closer to returning to the top 4, they are only 4 points behind the team that is ranked in the top 4.

Lyon is sitting on last place with 7 points in 13 games and by the way this team looks , I won't be surprised if they will relegate into Ligue 2. This club is quite big not just in France but in Europe as well because a few years ago they played an UCL semi-finals and they were so close to reach finals that year and after that , they went from worse to worse. Maybe they will bring a few big transfers this winter but besides that even if they change the coach , I doubt this team can achieve more than avoiding relegation spots...

[Leviathan.007]

Lyon must be really thankful for the teams near them about continuing to not winning any game. Because otherwise I can't imagine what the point difference between the team right above the relegation area and Lyon would have been by now. But still there is no hope for them about staying in the Ligue 1 as long as they continue to play like this.  

The only way to win a game for them so far was to beat a team playing with 10 players. That is Rennes I'm talking about. Winning only once in 13 games is just horrible.

I wonder what the board are thinking about this situation. The club has been clearly managed too badly for a long while.

A few years ago Lyon was a team they were always racing for the title in the French League and they were a top team with good investment but I don't know what happened is this team so they got these results. Lyon's fall started in the last season and they even got only 7 points in the all games they had so far this season which is terrible for them.

Paris Saint Germain are the strongest club here, they have everything that is superior to other clubs. It would be very strange if they couldn't defend their title, however I don't think there is a club that can match Paris Siant Germain in LIgue 1, because they have a lot of money. They need expensive players even though they will be able to buy them, as happened last season, where they are inhabited by star players, such as Messi, Neymar and their young star Mbappe. This is something that other clubs can't do, so it makes a huge difference in quality.

You could say that, even though now only Mbappe is their star. However, gradually this team will find their rhythm and style of play. In this January transfer window, perhaps Enrique will release several of his players who are rarely given the opportunity to play. for example, Hugo Ekitike, Nuno Mendez even though he is still injured, Kimpembe, or other players which gives them space to bring in other players to complement Enrique's squad.
Apart from that, Enriqeu actually has players who are suitable as center forwards or in rotation according to the team's needs. Unfortunately, Asensio has to be absent until now. We can refer to when Asensio was trusted to be the center forward, he was able to prove it with his experience and stability.

Now, Gancalo and Kolo Muani have started to be able to score goals for their team, even though in the Champions League they have not been able to show their talent and capacity as center forwards. However, PSG has a big chance to defend their title this season. As for the teams below, their chance to overtake PSG is a tough challenge and difficult to realize. although, in football it is unique. Let's just wait, because this competition still has many matches that all teams have to play.

The thing is that Luis Enrique must be intelligent, that is, if he is going to stay in charge of a team that will no longer have Mbappé, he has to know what he has to do from now on, that is, without Mbappé they should already play in the Ligue 1, for what? so that he can condition himself without him and see how the team is going to move without the presence of the player, he has very good players, and that is what can make the difference, I personally think that many things should always be done to be able to manage the team as one of the best without him, if I were a PSG coach I would do it like this, because there is no other way, things have to be put in context, to be able to be and do better, perhaps when they are applied Strategies of this style sound very strange, some will not agree with it, but based on what has been seen it is the best, I think that it should be done this way, if something like this is not done, it cannot be done. I wouldn't want to manage something as good as playing a strategy without that player.

PSG already has to get an idea without the player, and I don't want to wait until the end of the season, because this is where Luis Enrique can see which player in particular he is missing, if the space left by Mbappé can be lined up with two or 3 attackers per the flanks, I believe that these things can happen, of course that is what I think, otherwise I do not see that it is viable to do so, if in this case things are not done that way it will be difficult to have a better panorama, of course that is my idea, I think I could do it that way, when we see that the team is very compact then you can say something like that, maybe Luis Enrique doesn't make a strategy like that because it can't be neglected in LIgue 1, many more can be generated things that are or that go against the things that may be for their classification, in part they must secure a good place, 1 or 2, but staying for the next UCL, is what I think they can do.

Lyon is sitting on last place with 7 points in 13 games and by the way this team looks , I won't be surprised if they will relegate into Ligue 2. This club is quite big not just in France but in Europe as well because a few years ago they played an UCL semi-finals and they were so close to reach finals that year and after that , they went from worse to worse. Maybe they will bring a few big transfers this winter but besides that even if they change the coach , I doubt this team can achieve more than avoiding relegation spots...

The truth is that poor performance is a fact, I don't know what's wrong with them, it's very sad to see a team of this magnitude that falls so far behind in a season where they should basically be the ones that take the most advantage of winning the games, they have to a team like PSG where it is not so strong, where they have to give everything to be able to do better, I was one of those who had a lot of faith in this team, in fact I had bet that it would be one of the ones who was going to give war to the same PSG, but it is not like that, they have let the level drop a lot, I think that the bears must be very hard for them too, it is difficult, seeing that they are almost pro cer is something that should not be accepted, I would think that they should have o to be in the places that everything wants, the first, but it is not like that, it is falling to second and they have many opportunities to resurface, to revive, but they have to do it now, I don't know how they can walk so calmly, I would be like crazy looking the way to train the players more so that they perform more, give them more incentives.

Now , if we think about it with a cold head, the only way for Lyon to get out of that nightmare is to win and win everything that comes their way right now , it doesn't matter how many teams they have to play with, but they all have They have to win, they don't have to worry about the fact that they are among the first, that they are at the top of the group, that they are the strongest, that Ligue 1 has the best players in team X , they have to win , they can't accept more defeats They can't fall to the 2nd division, because that would be an ugly setback. Can you imagine that this team with all the history they have and falling into the 2nd? It is not well seen, just when they should be at the top, the problems that we do not know may be occurring and are Probably happening, for that reason we must see and consider that this team still has a lot to give, and the I really wouldn't like them to go down to 2nd.

Lyon in contact with former Marseille manager Jorge Sampaoli

According to L’Équipe, Olympique Lyonnais are in contact with former Olympique de Marseille manager Jorge Sampaoli about the managerial vacancy at the club.

Lyon are on the search for their third permanent manager of the season. Laurent Blanc began the season with OL, but didn’t last long. He was replaced by Fabio Grosso, who following his appointment in mid-September, only managed one win in his seven games in charge. His reign, the shortest of any OL manager in the club’s history, came to an end last week.
Friio and Louis-Jean internal supporters of Sampaoli’s arrival

Pierre Sage, who has taken charge on an interim basis, lost his first game in charge of Les Gones against RC Lens, although despite the defeat, there was reason for optimism. However, he is not expected to be the long-term solution and L’Équipe have revealed that Lyon are in contact with Sampaoli, who is without a job after leaving Flamengo in September.

This season PSG can be said to have overhauled their team on a large scale to strengthen their squad, PSG is filled with new faces but they are still quite strong and it will even be difficult for Nice to break Psg dominance.

On the other hand, Lens are starting to recover in improving their progress where 3 consecutive wins make them closer to returning to the top 4, they are only 4 points behind the team that is ranked in the top 4.

The defeat against Nantes left Nice four points behind PSG at the top of the standings and this also proves that PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 is quite difficult for any solid team in Ligue 1 to break. A difference of four points already guarantees PSG will get the Ligue 1 trophy because this will be the start defeat of several PSG competitors in the standings. PSG's strength is indeed much better than the strength of players possessed by other teams and is much more developed because they have a large amount of money to support it.

In the future matches we will see PSG's points with the challengers will be further away and entering the second half of the season there will be many teams experiencing setbacks due to several core players suffering injuries. This is where PSG is quite at an advantage because they have a balanced number of players and even though there are several players injured it doesn't affect their overall performance.

The card came in just too early and it gave me enough balls to go play the game live as I played it a full time draw thinking they'll repeat the same way they did during the midweek against Newcastle United. They gave me some level of pressure as I also placed a soft game to get a little fee from em. PSG should strive to make sure they win this League Competition. I know Luis Enrique only came in but they should put themselves today and tommorow together.

As predicted Per Emerick Aubameyang was also on the goal scorers last night as Marseille went ahead to win that game with two goals to nothing.

The defeat against Nantes left Nice four points behind PSG at the top of the standings and this also proves that PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 is quite difficult for any solid team in Ligue 1 to break. A difference of four points already guarantees PSG will get the Ligue 1 trophy because this will be the start defeat of several PSG competitors in the standings.

This is where PSG is quite at an advantage because they have a balanced number of players and even though there are several players injured it doesn't affect their overall performance.

And this defeat was the beginning of putting more pressure on Nice in trying to shift the first position which is currently still occupied by PSG.
In the future, Nice could be in danger of dropping again because Monaco will definitely catch up and occupy 2nd place. Monaco will only play against teams that are below them so it will be easier to win.

Regarding PSG, the improvement in performance in the last few matches is really great, because at the start of the season they didn't look that impressive but now PSG can still prove their worthy strength in dominating Ligue 1.
Anyone who tries bring down PSG, will likely have difficulty because they have achieved the perfect formation, but for next season we won't know how PSG will survive because their main player Mbappe will not play there anymore.

In the future, there will be no difficult matches for PSG and they will definitely be able to get full points from every match. For the first match in the future, maybe only Nantes will put a little pressure because previously they managed to beat Nice.
PSG cannot underestimate Nantes and they must continue to have solid quality in order to accelerate the increase in points in the standings and widen the gap between the teams below them.

[Silence Scream]

Do not think anyone was surprised to see the result of this match. Lens performed well. At the 72nd minute, I thought the match might end in a draw because Lyon did well to actually level the score. But in the end, Lens was able to score another and make sure that they got three points from this match. Even though I would say that the score was not very surprising for anyone, however, I will also say that the match was hard for Lens to win in the end. And now I don't think Lyon is actually going to improve to a point where they will be able to get out of the relegation zone.

I'm not surprised by Lens win because that's how it should be if you know the situation that Lyon is currently experiencing, Lyon seems to be experiencing such deep difficulties that it's difficult to get up and make changes, I don't know what wrong with this team so that it has experienced such a significant decline and has changed coaches. Even though Lyon is still not improving, if they want to renovate and recruit quality players, of course they need a lot of capital, while this team definitely doesn't have a lot of capital to invest in players who can build this team. It is very likely that Lyon will be relegated this season.

Although there were many goals in this match and also, Lyon managed to make a quick goal in the first half but still, I was not surprised at all. Because anyway, I also bet for Lens to win in this match, and I still believe that Lens will still win, because I very uncertain about the bad conditions that Lyon is experiencing at this moment . But indeed, at least Lyon managed to play well because Lyon also still has a good effort to get points when the team's situation is bad. But yes, it's quite unfortunate even though Lyon has tried well but in the end, Lyon still failed to get points in this match.

What's going on with Lyon? They lost even in the match they were leading. Good news for Lens because they came from behind to win, but Lyon lost despite taking the lead. Are these the last moments of a city's legendary team? Will they be relegated to league 2 at the end of the year? This is very sad for me because I had sympathy for them since the Juninho era. I hope they get better now and start getting wins.

[Strongkored]

A few years ago Lyon was a team they were always racing for the title in the French League and they were a top team with good investment but I don't know what happened is this team so they got these results. Lyon's fall started in the last season and they even got only 7 points in the all games they had so far this season which is terrible for them.

It is very possible that because of the club's finances, it affects their performance and from season to season it starts to decline because they sell quite a lot of good players to make money but very little reinvest it in the transfer market to buy other players who are also good.
With their performance to date, they can't survive relegation so next season they will play in Ligue 2 and it will take several seasons to be able to return to the highest competition in France.
The appointment of Fabio Grosso did not deliver what the club had hoped for and his replacement with Pierre Sage probably will not bring enough change because the problem is that their squad is not good enough to compete in Ligue 1 and get out of the relegation zone.

If the players are bad, the coach can't do anything. Because the players play the game on the field. Now they have to bring in new players in the January transfer window. If they don't, we can say for sure that they will probably be relegated from the league. They have only collected 7 points so far and this is a big problem. This is not just a problem for the coach, but for the team as a whole.

Luckily I didn't bet on the Nice match because previously I had said that Nice and Monaco could be in first place and after the defeat Nice lost their performance a bit down, getting a draw against Montpellier while this club was very weak but Nice failed to win so I decided to avoid it. bet on a club that is starting to show consistent decline.
It's time for PSG to take over first place in the points table and for the next match PSG will continue to secure its position even though when playing against Le Havre they almost conceded but I applaud the defense which is quite good because several times Le Havre put pressure on me which made me worried if PSG loses but the result is a win.

Lyon is experiencing bad luck this season. If they don't make changes, they will most likely be relegated. They have to recover quickly because it is already midway through the season. There are still a lot of games left. Lyon has to recruit new players so that they don't experience worse luck.
Coaches need adequate players to build overall team performance. If in a club there are no players who make good contributions, coaches will have difficulty developing strategies. Lyon must recruit new players in the January transfer market so that this season can be saved. Lyon's management must think about it. and start thinking about the players they will recruit, but the manager must not make the wrong choice because this will greatly influence the quality of performance.

[tiCeR]

There are a few scenarios for PSG how to get into the next round of the Champions League, but the most straightforward of them all is to win the match against Borussia Dortmund. If it was not a home game for Dortmund, I would say that PSG has big chances to win the game. But in this case Dortmund has enough power to score at home and I would usually say this game is more likely to end with a draw. But that makes it dangerous for PSG as Newcastle could win their game and then take PSG's place in the round of 16.

There is no doubt about their progress in Champions League is not good and after having draw against Newcastle United things are going more troubled which needs good effort from them in last game against Dortmund if they want to go through into round of 16 because without win they can't go even Newcastle United is also having problems, but they can manage against AC Milan which is much easier than PSG but mostly peoples feeling they can do this against Dortmund because host club is already progressed, and they can give chance to their few reserve players which will help them.

Kylian Mbappé is surely one of the best which can bring changes by himself, and he needs to give his best in this last match even nothing is predictable about their progress but still I am personally having faith in them for going for the next round and having good positive end of this season.

It is not like there isn't anything at stake for Borussia Dortmund and this is why we will see a top game on a very high level from both teams as Borussia Dortmund wants to avoid coming second in the group. Considering who will advance to the round of 16 from most of the other groups, coming first is worth every effort. If they get Real Madrid or Manchester City as an opponent because they finish their group second, it could immediately be game over for them. That is why I think PSG has no advantage because Borussia Dortmund already progressed to the next round. It is quite the contrary as coming first has so much value under these circumstances.

As predicted Per Emerick Aubameyang was also on the goal scorers last night as Marseille went ahead to win that game with two goals to nothing.

With a man advantage from the 10th minute, the fact is that Le Havre couldn't win this match. But they also played well just maybe luck was not on their side in this match. They made 22 attempts and 7 of them were on target, but none of them could lead to a goal. On the contrary, Paris Saint Germain can create goals even 13 minutes after they get a red card. from here we can see that indeed the difference in the quality of players will be very influential in the match and it is very felt by Le Havre in this match.

[slapper]

It seems quite appropriate now to say whether Nice have started to falter towards the middle of this season.
After a very good start to the season at the moment Nice's changes are quite pronounced in terms of performance. Their goal productivity is slowly disappearing and their attacking line is starting to show cracks.
Yesterday's match also showed how their condition has changed. They are still very good in terms of domination, it's just that their finishing is still very lacking and losing to Nantes yesterday makes me feel they will experience a change in situation now if they cannot overcome their current consistency.

Nice are still good and after this round they are guaranteed to retain second position. The problem is that in Ligue 1 there is PSG and, as always, they came out on top. It is quite remarkable that just recently they were behind, and now their advantage is 4 points, which allows them to even lose and still remain in the lead. I don’t see any point in assessing any Ligue 1 club relative to PSG - they’re on a different level. At their level, Nice shows excellent results, they have only one defeat and have the best defense in the league - only 5 goals conceded.

Nice's recent performance shows a pattern. Though powerful, these hiccups, like the Nantes loss, are concerning. They're close but not consistent enough to join PSG's top tier. Their defense is great, but is their offense? Perhaps it lacks punch. The Nantes game showed their forwards struggling. Nantes' defense prevented them from scoring, revealing their attacking troubles. To compete for the top ranks, they must improve their attacking strategies. They need a mix between defense and scoring, not just good defense.

Before the match started, I was convinced and confident that Le Havre was not a difficult opponent for PSG, even though PSG played with 10 people, they would still win this match, just look at how Le Havre couldn't take advantage of that opportunity to get the full three points or get one. points with a draw, but unfortunately Le Havre has to admit that PSG is a very strong club in Ligue 1 and is predicted to win the title again this season.

PSG really dominates Ligue 1, even Nice lost three points, maintaining a gap in points with PSG, which makes PSG of course breathe easier, now no club has been able to break their winning streak in the last five matches. PSG is still consistently on the winning track and yes, what are you saying? It's true that the quality of the game will determine who wins and PSG has a quality game above Le Havre.

Nice's recent performance shows a pattern. Though powerful, these hiccups, like the Nantes loss, are concerning. They're close but not consistent enough to join PSG's top tier. Their defense is great, but is their offense? Perhaps it lacks punch. The Nantes game showed their forwards struggling. Nantes' defense prevented them from scoring, revealing their attacking troubles. To compete for the top ranks, they must improve their attacking strategies. They need a mix between defense and scoring, not just good defense.

Nice conceded defeat for the first time against weak Nantes. Nice was unlucky in this match. But this team is not worthy of winning the title, it has already been predicted. If you want to win the title, the performance of the attacking players must be good. The attack must be stronger. But Nice's attack is very weak. They are second in the table only because of the excellent performance of their defenders. This team scored only 14 goals in 14 matches. While PSG and Monaco scored 36 and 29 respectively. Nice will likely lose second place in the table in the next few weeks.

PSG must be really shocked when Donnarumma got that red card early in the game. It isn't an intentional challenge of course but there is nothing to do about it. However PSG still stayed strong on the pitch. They won the game by 2-0 anyway against Le Havre. Mbappe's goal was really lovely by the way as the goalkeeper couldn't do much against that shot.

Vitinha's goal was a little lucky but he was still rated the highest in terms of performance for the whole game. By the way the backup goalkeeper Tenas did a really good work as well. I have seen some impressive saves of him. Thanks to him PSG's job got easier.

I was very surprised when I found out that Gianluigi Donnarumma got a red card in the opening minutes and I still don't know the details of why he had to be sent off by the referee. But what is clear is that this is very detrimental for PSG when they have wide open opportunities to widen the gap from Nice but have to suffer the loss of losing their main goalkeeper. However, even though PSG is currently ahead with 1 goal scored by Kylian Mbappe, it is still quite worrying if there is a draw in the remaining minutes.

The match has been going on for around 75 minutes and there are 15 minutes remaining in normal time. If PSG succeeds in maintaining this advantage or can increase their number of goals, of course their victory will be guaranteed, but if their defense starts to weaken, Le Havre will make good use of it to end in a draw.

I was surprised when the referee issued a red card in the 9th minute without even thinking. It was a very early problem for PSG to stay with 10 men on the field. Kylian Mbabbe scored a beautiful goal, as always, and with this goal, PSG took the lead 1-0 with 10 players.

PSG could keep the score very well with 10 player and they continued their search for goals without retreating to defense. He scored that relief goal in Vitinya, even though it was a little late, he gave his team a sigh of relief in extra time.

But if you look at the footage of the foul, it is very dangerous because Donnarruma's foot was too high and hit the opponent's body. So I think the referee's decision was quite correct in giving the PSG goalkeeper a red card. Despite all that, PSG still performed quite well and they even added another lead through a goal scored by Vitinha in the 89th minute and sealed the victory for PSG. This result is very important considering that Nice also just lost against Nantes and again PSG will dominate the top of the Ligue 1 standings this season without any obstacles.
