French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[G_Besar]

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.

Nice must be able to improve their performance in the remainder of this season if they want to stay in the runner-up position or want to catch PSG who are at the top of the Ligue1 standings. Because by playing like that it will be quite difficult for Nice to maintain its position and catch up with PSG who have become leaders in Ligue 1, apart from that, Monaco itself is still quite good so far and is also eyeing the position occupied by Nice now. So Nice must be able to improve better in each upcoming match.

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.

As I said in many previous posts, gradually PSG will return to the top of the Ligue 1 standings. What I said is not just without reason. because it all goes through consideration and analysis. To be honest, I am not part of the Paris Saint-Germain supporters.

As for Nice, their first defeat was against Nates. So far, in their 13 matches, they have been able to be consistent even though they haven't scored many goals. Nice's advantage this season is that they seem to have a pretty good, disciplined and solid defense. we can refer to, they only conceded 5 goals. and in the match against Nantes, Nice had to lose to the home team. For me, it's natural that Nice doesn't have sharpness up front, that's what prevents them from competing with PSG. In the next match, Nice will play against Reims. If they lose again, that means PSG will widen their points gap with the teams below them.

As for PSG, Luis Enrique's squad should only need to improve the shortcomings of his team's squad. Regarding the system, IMO, PSG has run as it should, even though it has not achieved what Enrique really hoped for. But at least, in this competition they should be able to get through it well.
On the contrary, I think Monaco will gradually overtake Nice's position. Adolf Hutter just needs to make sure his squad plays according to the pattern he applies, that way they will be much better when playing match after match.

PSG had an early card yesterday but its really interesting how they were able to still win amidst a man down, but then they were playing from away so the advantage was supposed to be on the side of their opponent together with the card they had already but it turned out their opponent seemed weaker.

PSG were able to maintain a strong frame regard less and was able to put up a performance they earned them a win at the end of the day, they won by two goals and are currently at the top of the table by 33 points staying ahead of Nice by four points. Nice may likely have no further chance to get to the top of the table and I hope PSG will be able to maintain their spot long enough to probably end the season with the league title.

Vitinha's goal wasn't what saved PSG this game, it was once again Mbappe and he is always making the difference even when they are one man down. His speed and when he scored the goal his technique is so dangerous for any team. Donnaruma's red card was stupid like hell and it was funny to see how he tried for a few seconds to become a Hollywoodstar. The red card was the right decision. But PSG didn't dominate the game at all after the red card. Le HAC had chances to score, but they lack some quality.

Like I've always maintained since the start of the season that Paris Saint Germaine possess the strongest quality players of in the French Ligue 1, yesterday's results against Le Havre further backs my opinion. Paris Saint Germaine goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was shown the red card in the 10t minute of the game after he misjudged the movement of the ball and kicked Le Havre player when the scoreline of the game was still 0:0 but that didn't Luis Enrique's men from going on to score two unreplied goals to grab all three points from the game and extend their lead at the top of the table to four points.

PSG started the season on a bad note as they lost points in games they were expected to win and that I think was as result of the the manager's inexperience about the French Ligue 1 but since he initiated his current playing pattern that's bringing out the best from his players, Paris Saint Germaine has been winning their matches and are on course to retain the French Ligue 1 title once again.

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.

Whoever the coach is in charge of Lyon at the moment, it is very difficult to improve Lyon's performance, it is very difficult to realize the hope that Lyon will return to the way it was several years ago, which always provided competition for the top four positions. Lyon players seem to be getting bored of playing, they are able to score goals against their opponents, but they also concede very easily.

7 points from 13 matches puts Lyon at the bottom of the standings list, there is no other way for Lyon officials other than bringing in quality players in the January transfer market to save Lyon from the threat of relegation. The coach's dismissal will not provide any solution, Laurent Blanc and Fabio Grosso are victims of Lyon's collapse in performance. Overall the team also needs to be refreshed, the arrival of quality players could be a solution to improve Lyon performance.

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.

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.

Unpredictable result. Nice was able staying at the top place but it seems like it's starting to go down again this time. I see no chance for monaco and nice to win the trophy this season. PSG will be locking the trophy again this time.
It's likely PSG will be winning the competition again. I have my hope to see nice to be at the top place anytime but my expectation is too big for nice. I know that PSG will be winning upcoming game.

It looks like we are able determining the winner from this season. PSG is likely trying to be the winner again. PSG is starting to gain its chemistry while its competitors are starting to decline. The gap of PSG to the its competitors become even bigger.
The chance for nice or monaco to win the trophy against PSG is very small now. I have lost my hope to see a new winner of french league. League 1 is just another bundesliga soon.

PSG will be dominating the league probably for more than a decade.

This is not just a problem for the coach, but for the team as a whole.

They parted ways with coach Laurent Blanc after bad results at the start of the season. They then signed Fabio Grosso. But they continued to get bad results. Pierre Sage is currently coaching the team temporarily. They were once a great team, but today they are in imminent danger of being relegated to a lower league. I don't think Pierre Sage can change anything at Lyon either. Lyon have structural problems. A few transfers or a change of manager won't bring them back to their former glory.

[bering]

It's too easy for PSG that with only 10 players they can able to win from Le Havre that since Donnarumma sent out because of red card Le Havre was taking initiative to control the game and they actually got several times the opportunities to scores goals but unfortunately they were failed to utilized this situation even Le Havre was showing poor performance because 2 goals from PSG is came from counter attack strategy

PSG was gradually has showing their consistency this season that when other contender just like Nice looks struggle to gets the winning results for each matches but PSG performance is very stable and currently PSG has 4 difference points above to Nice and apparently this season will be so easy to PSG because they do not get decent opponents for race title because Nice who are expected to be their contender for the title was unable to managed their consistency

[rendravolt]

Lille continued their winning trend and this time the victims were Metz. A two-goal win without reply in an away match is very important for Lille because they are still trying to maintain their place in the top 4 from being chased by other teams. So far Lille has collected 26 points from 14 matches and has only suffered 2 defeats. These are good statistics and I hope they can be more consistent and continue to improve every season.

On the other hand, Metz has been eliminated from the top 10 after another team managed to win yesterday's match. I think Metz just needs to maintain a stable performance so that they don't easily fall into the relegation zone and that is the most difficult job for them in the remainder of this season.

Paris Saint-Germain are ranking, despite their poor performance in fewer games this season. Luis Enrique will make sure his team are given the necessary credits they deserved this season especially in matches. I'm highly dissapointed in Le Havre for not netting a goal against Paris Saint-Germain at Stade Oceane last weekend. They got every opportunity to strike for good results but instead they settle for defeats. Perhaps let's not tender blames on the home side because their opposition are not mediocre team but rather classified as top club.

I feel like PSG will run alone in the standings this season, and clubs like Nice, Monaco and Lille are not ready to become serious title challengers. Ligue 1 is like owned by PSG and it is likely that in the next few years it will still be like that, as long as there are no rich investors coming in and acquiring one or two clubs, then PSG will always dominate.

We can use the match against Le Havre as a frame of reference, how weak the mid-table team is, even with a superior number of players they failed to force PSG to share the points. For Enrique, he will smile broadly and puff out his chest, how could his squad still win even though they lost one player for more than 80 minutes.

Therefore, it is not surprising that as the season progresses PSG will form a point difference in the standings. If their progress in the UCL will be stopped by Dortmund, then it is certain, even though it cannot be guaranteed, that Enrique will be determined to sweep the remaining 20 matches in Ligue 1. I think it is not an exaggeration to say this, but the fact is that PSG is too powerful in their hometown.

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.

PSG have always dominated the ligue 1 and with the quality they currently have in their squad after the summer transfer window, things are quite easier. Well PSG are a team who are traditional winners of the Ligue 1 and they know how to go about this competition perfectly. Even In their worst form they'll still manage to get good results and win the trophy.

 PSG are a team that knows how to play so excellently in their league and soon their point difference would be a big deal to opposing teams and they’ll not help but falter. They are having issues in the UCL but for the Ligue 1 they’re scaling excellently well and that’s one issue that the entire board is worried about because they can’t keep being local champions, they need to upgrade and start doing well in major league tournaments.

[Slow death]

well, there are few cases of a team that has one of its players receive a red card at the beginning of the game but that same team still manages to win the game and not concede a goal, this was the case of PSG's game against Le Havre , the PSG goalkeeper received a red card after just 10 minutes of the game in a bad performance, but PSG, even with the expulsion of their goalkeeper, continued to be good in defense to the point of not having conceded a goal, it is definitely something unbelievable Since PSG has been a team with a terrible defense in recent seasons, but it seems that they are improving in defense, in the last 3 games they have conceded a goal in just one game

With this result, PSG have 33 points and are at the top of the table, and as Nice lost in their game, it opened up space for PSG to have a 4 point advantage, with these 4 points of advantage that PSG has, I see that this The advantage will increase a lot to the point where PSG will become champion long before the season ends, until now I can't understand why Messi didn't continue at PSG and didn't retire from PSG and go play in the USA where there is a much lower level of football, I know that PSG fans were complaining a lot, but he just needed to ignore them and focus on the games. Anyway, he made his choice, I hope PSG builds a squad capable of winning the European Champions League

Monaco played against Montpellier, they managed to win without conceding a goal, it was a game in which PSG scored early and then benefited from the fact that the Montpellier player had received a red card, so all the conditions were already created for the Monaco came out of that game with victory and that's what happened. With this victory, Monaco is close to Nice, which is currently in position 2, I see Monaco managing to finish in position 2, the question will be whether Nice will be able to stay in the top 3

Monaco latest fluctuations made them lose points and become third and that victory prohibited them from going down since Lille is very close to them. The other teams aren't that far and everyone round could switch the table much. Monaco could return to the second spot if they win vs Rennes next round since Nice might lose points against Reims. I know Nice are better but Reims could be a pain if they keep their defence solid for once.

[Weawant]

Marseille happens to be one very inconsistent team I have observed in the Ligue 1 this season, they started of fairly enough to keep some hope alive and think they will make it to the top of the league by weak fourteen in which they are now but it turns out they fluctuate in-between wins loss and draws more recently than they ever had earlier.

Out of the fourteen game so far played by Marseille,  they have won only two with a lot of draws along Side which I don't figure to be a healthy stat because it's not helping them well enough to ascend the league table although last season they didn't finish any better but they were considerably better, in their last five game they won only one lost one and drew the rest so obviously they draw I. Most of their games than they should have won. Playing against Rennesand leading by two goals was a fair one although they had a red card, they were still able to win.

[Swordsoffreedom]

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.

Well, he literally came box and kicked a player in the face. I am pretty sure that he deserved to be red carded. The referee definitely took the right decision. And let's be honest if it was against any other team, which is actually good, PSG wouldn't have gotten away with this.  But just because it was against a weaker opponent, and just because PSG do not have any actual competition in the league, they got away with this. Now of course, PSG did well to win the match. But in any other competition or against any decent opponent, these types of mistakes were going to be unforgivable.

Pierre Sage is currently coaching the team temporarily. They were once a great team, but today they are in imminent danger of being relegated to a lower league. I don't think Pierre Sage can change anything at Lyon either. Lyon have structural problems. A few transfers or a change of manager won't bring them back to their former glory.

So, it seems that to solve this problem is to spend a lot of money to buy better players in the January transfer window. Or maybe, Lyon can spend money to recruit a famous coach who certainly has good quality to restore the team's performance and match to get good results in a fast time. Because yes, if Lyon only maintains the composition of players like this then I am sure, Lyon will not succeed in recovering. Although Lyon has made efforts in firing and changing their coach but yes, if they do not overhaul their squad also the results will still be difficult for Lyon to be able to recover quickly this season.

In the French Soccer League today, Marseille vs Rennes team came to the field to play. Marseille team won the match today by scoring 2 goals. P. Aubameyang scored the first goal in the first 8 minutes of the game. A.  Ounahi scored the 2nd goal in 65 minutes. Rennes team did not score in this match. Marseille team performed very well from the beginning to the end of the game. I placed a bet in favor of Marseille team in today's match. Marseille team performed well and won the match, so I won the bet.  But I thought the Rennes team might have scored late in the game but could not score any goals due to their poor performance.

[Doell]

Lille continued their winning trend and this time the victims were Metz. A two-goal win without reply in an away match is very important for Lille because they are still trying to maintain their place in the top 4 from being chased by other teams. So far Lille has collected 26 points from 14 matches and has only suffered 2 defeats. These are good statistics and I hope they can be more consistent and continue to improve every season.

On the other hand, Metz has been eliminated from the top 10 after another team managed to win yesterday's match. I think Metz just needs to maintain a stable performance so that they don't easily fall into the relegation zone and that is the most difficult job for them in the remainder of this season.

That's good ! Lille maybe targeting tickets the Champions League group stage, and they must be able to continue their winning trend. In the next match against Clermont this week, I think Lille also has a high possibility of winning, and can continue their a good trend. Although they couldn't win in the last match when they when against Clermont, but on next matchday 15 will be an important match to collect points before against PSG on matchday 16.

Yes, the Metz have a difficult job, especially in their next match against Stade Brestois 29. I think it will not be easy for Metz to secure full points in that match, on the other side Brest also a tough team for Metz.
