French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Franctoshi]

Enrique knows that he must manage the team well, get good results to save his job but between knowing the task and making the task done well is very big difference.

He is an experienced coach by managing Barcelona, Spain and achieving success with them so they are experienced enough to deal with pressure and big expectation on his management. Even in PSG, he got very big problems and criticism in early weeks of season when PSG got some bad results. With time, he managed to improve the team performance and help PSG to show their domination in Ligue 1 again. This draw against Brest is bad but won't be an ending for his job in PSG.

I agree with you that PSG must improve many more things if they want to go far in Champions League.

PSG losses three points against Brest last night and reduce current points standings behind 5 points from Nice, unbelievable with PSG have got draw against Brest last night although playing on their home and manage awhile but Brest success made comeback ten minutes before match ended. Have questionable with Luis Henrique reputation, need improving performance on upcoming match exactly PSG will face Real Sociedad in Champion League.
PSG have three matches left before facing Real Sociedad in Champion League, I think Luis Henrique need improving team performance and win all matches left to make team keep confidence for Champion League first leg match.

It was a dramatic game with points shared, and psg dropped 2 points again. Brest battled back from a 2-goal deficit to secure a point at the Parc des Princes. The French leaders seem to struggle against an in-form Brest these days, even with a two-goal lead. While they still look to be on their way to another title, there's a need for an improved performance in the upcoming matches. I don't understand what is wrong with Luis Enrique at psg. Luis Henrique must step up with a genuine game plan and motivate his players to boost their game.

PSG was way too relaxed after they got the two goals and thought they've already secured the 3 points forgetting that the game is not yet over and until the final whistle, while the opponent team Brest saw the loophole and took the advantage of the fact that PSG has become too relaxed in the game and continue to Battle until they equal the goals, I believe Brest taught PSG a lessons that they won't jeopardize with such an ample opportunity to have secured that 3 points with this experience.

Now you said it like they' lost the three points entirely, meanwhile they got to win a point, it's props to Brest anyways, they're have begin to get more and more points in this season, it's seems like they're very serious about qualifying for the European Competitions if not the Champions League Competition on them minds.
For Brest, it's a good way to start the season but salvaging a point out of the game played against the best side in League 1 Competition.

Asensio did score a wonderful goal and same was the hard work from Thuram to send that one Into goal, he looked unhappy regardless he was the goalscorer. What could be going down?

[rendravolt]

There were too many draws in Ligue 1 matches this week and I think quite a lot of bettors lost money. Maybe I'm one of them because I bet on the Reims vs Nantes match and also Montpellier vs Lille. These two matches ended in a draw and for Lille it seems they were unlucky considering that at the end of the first half they lost one of their players after committing a foul and had to get a second yellow card so the referee issued a red card

Today's matches in the French Ligue 1 were quite interesting, with only Lens managing to secure a victory against Toulouse. Surprisingly, the other five matches ended in draws. What caught many off guard was Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), a team currently in good form, playing to a draw against Brest. This unexpected result was particularly surprising because it was a home game for PSG, and it was widely anticipated that they would triumph over Brest.The twist in the plot was the red card received by a PSG player, altering the course of the game. Many individuals who placed bets on these matches experienced disappointment due to the unexpected outcomes, especially in the PSG match, where hopes were high for a victory but ultimately resulted in a draw.

It's really strange that Ligue 1 this week and even for a club as big as PSG also experienced a draw at home. I don't know what happened to this top team, why it managed to get a draw when the opportunity to secure victory was much stronger. But indeed, if we talk about PSG, they were unlucky because one player got a red card and at the same time that could change the flow of the game into chaos. Moreover, the opponent is Brest, who has performed very well this season and is in 3rd place in the standings, so this is not an easy match for PSG even though they are playing with only 10 players.

But despite all that, PSG still has a big difference from Nice so they are still very safe to maintain the top position. After the failure in the two series matches that I mentioned above, I placed another bet on the PSG vs Brest match but unfortunately I lost money again. But it's okay, I'm not alone in this defeat and many people have the same fate.

They feel as if they have already won the match after securing two goals in the first half of the game; they forget that they are playing against Stade Brest, who is on form this season and has also won all five of their last five matches, just like PSG. Stade Brest has secured the third-place spot by getting a draw against PSG; they are now one point above AS Monaco; their dream of making it to the Champions League next season might come true if they maintain their performance.

Brest has actually done well in this match to get a point from PSG in my opinion. Because everyone thought PSG was going to win this match. I actually thought PSG would face some difficulties in this match but would win eventually. But that did not happen. Honestly, this might be a little surprising for some people. But I know that Brest has been performing well recently. And right now they do not have a single loss in the last 5 matches.

But anyway, PSG still has nothing to worry about in my opinion. Because they are currently having a good point difference compared to the other teams that are around them right now. And their also not giving up the first position of the table in time soon.

It looks like underestimating the opponent, because after all when they compete as if they have won the match even though time is still running, it is a form of underestimating the opponent in my opinion. This is Paris Saint Germain with all their strengths and also with all the weaknesses that they should be able to anticipate as well as possible.
You're right Brest are in good form this season, they look more convincing than usual. Paris Saint Germain should have realized that from the start so they could have played better. Indeed they were 2 goals ahead, but Brest themselves tried to make them win points and the result was that they could reduce the position in the 55th minute. With the difference being 1 goal, Paris Saint Germain should be able to increase the intensity of their game, but I don't see them doing that.

[slapper]

Luis Enrique needs to understand that he must improve the performance of his team of he really want to see them go far in the current campaign especially in the UEFA Champions League competition because if they should go to the European elites football competition with their current performance, they're definitely gone thrashed

Enrique knows that he must manage the team well, get good results to save his job but between knowing the task and making the task done well is very big difference.

He is an experienced coach by managing Barcelona, Spain and achieving success with them so they are experienced enough to deal with pressure and big expectation on his management. Even in PSG, he got very big problems and criticism in early weeks of season when PSG got some bad results. With time, he managed to improve the team performance and help PSG to show their domination in Ligue 1 again. This draw against Brest is bad but won't be an ending for his job in PSG.

I agree with you that PSG must improve many more things if they want to go far in Champions League.

PSG, the Ligue 1 leaders, have high expectations, and a draw at home against Brest is unacceptable. Despite his impeccable record, Enrique appears to be struggling to find the ideal recipe for PSG. He deserves attention for his methods and team management. With the Champions League encounter against Real Sociedad approaching, the inconsistency is worrying. I still hope. Enrique has a history of turning things around. PSG's form and confidence depend on the next three league matches. A winning streak would protect their Ligue 1 spot and send a message to their Champions League opponents. Enrique must use his experience to motivate his team to conquer the challenges ahead. For a coach of his caliber, it's a huge order yet possible

[temple]

Not that it means too much that PSG messed up this game after having that 2-0 lead, but it does show how carelessly PSG can play and give up a comfortable lead in a game in their own stadium because they don't care. If this was a game that would have decided about who becomes the Ligue 1 title winner, would they have played the same way?

This is what I am criticizing about that league, PSG knows that no matter how this game ends against Stade Brest, they will win the trophy anyway. But in the Champions League they want to be different and then they realize that if they don't have to care at all for 38 games in Ligue 1, out of a sudden they have problems to do it better in the Champions League. It will forever be one of their deficits to be playing in a weak league.

PSG entered the dressing room by scoring two goals before the end of the first half, they almost won the match, they had this thought while going to the dressing room, this thought made them lose in the second half. What happened in the second half was when Brest started to play more willingly, PSG's entire game plan became dysfunctional and they couldn't even maintain the lead.

It was a pretty bad forty-five minutes for PSG in the second half. Mbappe played well but it wasn't his day. He tried hard but it didn't work. If he had been on that day, PSG could have saved the day.

You couldn't be any more right about this. They flushed the game down the toilet in the second half and someone who didn't see the first half could have thought that Enrique sent eleven new players onto the pitch. What was this even? In the first half PSG dominated everything, the passing, the attempts on target, the pressure and Stade Brest was rarely able to create chances.

In the second half the game was turned around completely. In the end all statistics were about equal for the two teams and the worst is that Stade Brest had more attempts on target eventually. It is unbelievable and this is another example of how I think the Champions League will go for PSG. They do have some good minutes during games, but then they fall apart while nobody understands what's going on. They can't play their best game for even a single game.

But even though the result is a draw it won't make PSG drop from the top of the standings because they will still be champions of Ligue 1 this season because in my opinion there is no competitor who is really consistent in breaking their dominance. I didn't watch the match in full but after seeing some footage it seems that PSG is like lost confidence in playing in the second half so they couldn't anticipate two goals from the Brest team which balanced their game, obviously that's impossible but this is football.

Moreover, it is also impossible for there to be match fixing because this is the main league and not a small league like PSG and big clubs in France will not be able to play with match fixing, even though we all believe that maybe PSG should be able to get full points in today's match but they failed. and only sharing points with Brest, I think Enrique also regrets his team's failure to win today's match. There is still time for them to perform better next week and talking about the UCL, it looks like they won't have any problems against Sociedad, although maybe sometimes PSG's game is as unpredictable as you think. 

[KTChampions]

If PSG wins today, their advantage over Nice will be 8 points. Do you really think that Nice is somewhere nearby and waiting for its chance? In fact, PSG could miss 3 games and still remain top (because Nice won't get 9 points out of 9).
Today PSG will play against Brest, formally the third team in Ligue 1, and I think it will be easy to see how dominant they are. I think the score will be something around 3-0. Bookmaker quotes are currently as follows:

1.36 - 4.90 - 7.45

Quite generous in my opinion.

Paris Saint Germaine is undoubtedly the strongest team in the French league and considering their intimidating quality of players when compared to other teams in the league, it's very safe to say that Paris Saint Germaine will always get the better of any other team in the league whenever they get to meet each other.  
Later tonight, Luis Enrique''s team will be playing a French Ligue 1 home game against Brest, a win in that match will make them go eight points clear at the top of the league. Brest on their day can frustrate the efforts of a bigger club in the league but I'm very convinced that they're not getting any result against Paris Saint Germaine tonight.

It looks like I overestimated PSG or their motivation, but this game turned out to be quite even, although at some point it seemed that Brest would fall apart:

Shots - 10:9
Shots on target – 4:6
Corners – 7:0

Nothing terrible happened (if you don’t take into account those who added PSG’s victory to multi-bets to increase the overall odds or simply bet on PSG’s victory with or without a handicap) and PSG continues to lead with a comfortable 6-point lead. Thanks to this draw, Brest retained their place in the top 3 and will continue to fight for a spot in the Champions League.

[TechnoX_X]

But even though the result is a draw it won't make PSG drop from the top of the standings because they will still be champions of Ligue 1 this season because in my opinion there is no competitor who is really consistent in breaking their dominance. I didn't watch the match in full but after seeing some footage it seems that PSG is like lost confidence in playing in the second half so they couldn't anticipate two goals from the Brest team which balanced their game, obviously that's impossible but this is football.

Sure! it won't fall from the top of the standings because previously it had a 5 point gap from Nice while Nice is not a threat to PSG whose performance is stronger and for me a draw is better.
I watched the match but it seemed like the PSG players, especially the defenders, were a bit tired so they lost concentration and were unable to block the Brest players so they conceded.
Mbappe, who is PSG's mainstay player, was unable to do anything because he received a yellow card so he couldn't perform optimally, rather than forcing himself to appear tough and causing disaster with a red card.
I consider this a surprise but the most important thing is that it does not affect PSG's position.

[Leviathan.007]

As long as PSG gives Luis Enrique freedom, I am sure he will be able to bring PSG to get the title that the PSG president wants.
Luis Enrique has led Barcelona in the past and if this season can bring PSG to a higher ranking it will be new history for Luis Enrique.
The biggest problem is not just the title, but losing Mbappe is a big problem for Enrique, while there is no other candidate who can replace Mbappe.
I think after this Luis Enrique will be a little shaky when he loses his mainstay player.

In Ligue1 PSG is always able to win titles by occupying the highest ranking, but in other leagues such as in the UCL, PSG is still not successful in winning trophies. So that is what Luis Enrique must try to prove his abilities to the PSG president, because the UCL trophy is a trophy that is always sought after by all teams from various leagues. Meanwhile, the issue of the possible loss of a mainstay player like Mbappe at PSG is also an important part that Luis Enrique must think about so that in the near future he can have a thorough plan to find a replacement for Mbappe.

On the one hand, I feel that PSG best potential for winning the UCL trophy has passed, with the departure of Messi and Neymar last season. However, Mbappe is the hope that is now available, that is, if the management and club president succeed in convincing him to renew his contract and stay longer at PSG. In terms of experience, Luis Enrique is very reliable, he has proven his tactical abilities in the past when coaching Barcelona. PSG certainly really supports Enrique's efforts to present this prestigious trophy, they have a lot of budget to meet Enrique demands in shopping for the players he wants.

We have absolutely no doubt that PSG can win the Ligue 1 trophy again, because as we already know, other Ligue 1 clubs cannot match the depth of the squad built by PSG. On the other hand, if Mbappe decides to leave at the end of the season, I think Enrique can buy another good player, even though they won't get a player as good as Mbappe. Enrique must be able to take advantage of Mbappe company for the remainder of this season, to bring PSG to compete for the UCL trophy even though they are not the favorites.

Maybe you had this feeling because you saw many superstars like Neymar and Messi in PSG during the last season but that's never enough to have many expensive and superstar players in your team to get good results especially when we are talking about a tournament like the Champions League and other teams got even better player but also a more balanced team.

[rendravolt]

Toulouse vs Lens was the only match that didn't end in a draw last night and unfortunately it was this match that I missed in betting. Actually, we can already guess who the winner will be and here, even though Lens come as the visiting team, they can be relied on to win. The results as we can see Lens won with a score of 0-2 from Toulouse.

Actually, I was quite worried if the result was a draw like the previous match, but I didn't expect Lens to break expectations and steal points in this away match. An additional 3 points keeps Lens from moving in 8th position but now they have the same points as Marseille and this week the competition will certainly be much more exciting.

[Docnaster]

I consider this a surprise but the most important thing is that it does not affect PSG's position.

In a game many including bookmakers had predicted that Paris Saint Germaine were gonna easily win, Brest came from two goals down to draw against the reigning French Ligue 1 champions and that has made many to come up with the opinion that Nice might just overtake current French league leaders Paris Saint Germaine and probably win the league at the end of the season.

As far as the French Ligue 1 is concerned, there's no team in the league that can measure with Paris Saint Germaine in terms of quality of players and that's why I don't even consider any of them to be competitive enough to stop the French champions from retaining the league title at the end of the current season. Paris Saint Germaine biggest issue id you ask me is to have a good campaign in the UEFA Champions League competition that'll probably see them reach the final of the competition this season and that I think will be very difficult but with the presence of their current manager Luis Enrique who's won the competition before with Barcelona, PSG I think has all it takes to not just reach the final but to also win it

Enrique must be able to take advantage of Mbappe company for the remainder of this season, to bring PSG to compete for the UCL trophy even though they are not the favorites.

Neymar and Messi are not a benchmark for PSG to become champions because in the end when they were at PSG even when talking about the Champions League their chances remained poor and even 2 seasons had to be eliminated in the round of 16 with expensive players like Neymar and Messi.
This is not about the player's problem but the problem of the club itself.
The situation of PSG is not very good in every season makes their condition remain the same in the end.

2 Seasons of hiring coaches who don't have much experience in the Champions League makes their situation remain unchanged and this season when looking at the condition of the players (apart from Mbappe) in the end we know PSG wants to change their perspective on players and wants to try to maximize with a slightly different coach.
Enrique is not a coach with any real experience when looking at his track record as he was only helped by his time at Barcelona but this could be a positive change when looking at what he has done for the PSG squad.

I consider this a surprise but the most important thing is that it does not affect PSG's position.

For now, PSG is still quite comfortable with being at the top of the standings because they have quite a large distance between points. So the draw clearly will not affect PSG's fight for the title in Ligue 1, but PSG's task this season is still not much different from the previous season, namely trying to perform optimally in the UCL. Because in Ligue1 PSG has proven to be strong and can continue to have the Ligue1 trophy as long as PSG is not so down.

[tusandii]

Enrique knows that he must manage the team well, get good results to save his job but between knowing the task and making the task done well is very big difference.

He is an experienced coach by managing Barcelona, Spain and achieving success with them so they are experienced enough to deal with pressure and big expectation on his management. Even in PSG, he got very big problems and criticism in early weeks of season when PSG got some bad results. With time, he managed to improve the team performance and help PSG to show their domination in Ligue 1 again. This draw against Brest is bad but won't be an ending for his job in PSG.

I agree with you that PSG must improve many more things if they want to go far in Champions League.

PSG losses three points against Brest last night and reduce current points standings behind 5 points from Nice, unbelievable with PSG have got draw against Brest last night although playing on their home and manage awhile but Brest success made comeback ten minutes before match ended. Have questionable with Luis Henrique reputation, need improving performance on upcoming match exactly PSG will face Real Sociedad in Champion League.
PSG have three matches left before facing Real Sociedad in Champion League, I think Luis Henrique need improving team performance and win all matches left to make team keep confidence for Champion League first leg match.

It was a dramatic game with points shared, and psg dropped 2 points again. Brest battled back from a 2-goal deficit to secure a point at the Parc des Princes. The French leaders seem to struggle against an in-form Brest these days, even with a two-goal lead. While they still look to be on their way to another title, there's a need for an improved performance in the upcoming matches. I don't understand what is wrong with Luis Enrique at psg. Luis Henrique must step up with a genuine game plan and motivate his players to boost their game.

PSG was way too relaxed after they got the two goals and thought they've already secured the 3 points forgetting that the game is not yet over and until the final whistle, while the opponent team Brest saw the loophole and took the advantage of the fact that PSG has become too relaxed in the game and continue to Battle until they equal the goals, I believe Brest taught PSG a lessons that they won't jeopardize with such an ample opportunity to have secured that 3 points with this experience.

Yes, I really agree with you that PSG seemed to underestimate Stade Brest when it was approaching final minutes of the second half and at that time it was really visible that PSG really underestimated Stade brest and with the spirit of Brest they saw so much enthusiasm to get into the defense when PSG played relaxed in The final minute started with score scored by Mahdi Camara who very easily got into the PSG defense line and scored after that Mathias Pereira who came on in the second half had a bit of good fitness and was able to score 1 score and finally PSG let it all happen, dividing the score with a draw.
With this performance, I declare that Stade Brest is truly a strong challenger at this time after Nice consistently lost and will definitely be runners up in League 1.

[Blitzboy]

Luis Enrique needs to understand that he must improve the performance of his team of he really want to see them go far in the current campaign especially in the UEFA Champions League competition because if they should go to the European elites football competition with their current performance, they're definitely gone thrashed

Personally, I think Enrique can. PSG's draw with Brest wasnt the best of their season, but its not the worst. Enrique's resilience at PSG and Barcelona and Spain speak volumes. He's used to pressure and criticism, and history shows he can turn things around. The man has always overcome obstacles and come out stronger.

PSG has a few matches before Real Sociedad in the Champions League, and Im sure Enrique will use them to improve the team. I think PSG will recover from the draw with Enrique in charge. They dominated Ligue 1 and will be in peak shape for the Champions League with a few tweaks. Trusting Enrique to steer the ship through stormy waters is key.

[Hirose UK]

In today match, PSG failed to get full points because they had to accept draw by Brest, which is the team in 3rd place in the standings, and this is one of the bad match results for PSG.
The reason is that PSG had to lose an attacking player in the final minutes of extra time because the referee was given red card.
With this red card, Bradley Barcola had to miss several future matches.

In the 20th round, PSG will face Strasbourg, which is a middle team in the Ligue 1 standings and in this match, Strasbourg has home game advantage so it will be possible to put pressure on PSG.
In this match, it is certain that Bradley Barcola, who is one of PSG main players, is absent and of course PSG will only use reserve players to fill the void on the front line.
I wanted to see how PSG fared in defeat and this was quite an interesting match.

[rahmad2nd]

Actually, we can already guess who the winner will be and here, even though Lens come as the visiting team, they can be relied on to win.

An additional 3 points keeps Lens from moving in 8th position but now they have the same points as Marseille and this week the competition will certainly be much more exciting.

In this match, Lens was able to win the match without a goal in return. In the first half, Da Costa was able to take advantage of El Aynaoui's pass and scored the opening goal for Lens against Toulouse. Halfway through the second half, Andy Diouf was able to shoot a powerful shot in the 55th minute which was quite cool in the area outside the penalty box. The player's hard shot was unable to be blocked by the Toulouse defenders and neither was Toulouse goalkeeper Guillauma Restes.
