French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Got capital after winning first leg match over two goals seems more enough for second leg match in Champion League for PSG and get bigger chance for qualifying to quarter final. In domestic league, PSG is comfortable with their current standings has 11 points left from Brest and I think before reach to matchday 30 will be the winner of domestic league.

Actually Ligue 1 lack competitive and easily for PSG dominating every season, played 23 matches in domestic league and get 11 points gap from Brest I think Ligue 1 have been over. PSG could focus their target for winning Champion League in this season since acquisition by Nasser Al-Khelafi PSG never winning the UCL trophy until right now.

Since PSG was owned by Naseer, since then Ligue 1 has been nicknamed the farmers league, how could it not be, with the power of money owned by Naseer he was able to instantly turn PSG into the most dominant club in Ligue 1, and even too easy for us to guess which club will be can win Ligue 1 even when the season hasn't started, currently PSG performance in the league is undeniable and since the start of the season no one has doubted that PSG failed to win Ligue 1, but PSG  quite strong performance in the league does not make PSG a scary club in current champions league and is proven by their always failure to get their first champions league trophy even though they have been strengthened by many star players.

PSG problem in the Champions League at the moment seems to lie only in consistency, although PSG is quite strong in the league, their performance is actually very monotonous when they have to face teams from other leagues, the uncompetitive competition in the league certainly makes the mentality of the PSG players not very strong when facing other European teams and this was proven to happen in the Champions League round of 16 match against Real Sociedad, we all admit that Real Sociedad is the weakest team compared to other teams from Spain at the moment, but in the match against PSG, Real Sociedad was actually able to gave quite fierce resistance to PSG despite the defeat, so if PSG looked very strong, of course they would be able to score lots of goals in that match.

Could Lens put an end to Lyon's winning streak of four games this Sunday? The game is at Lyon's stadium by the way. In their previous game against each other we watched a really nice competition. Maybe Lyon lost but they were able to fight back for quite a long time. The final score was 3-2 as well. Now Lyon are in a much better condition.

Thinking about this one might want to trust Lyon in this one but I can't really. Their form is great but I would still like to place a safer bet on this game. Double chance for Lyon has 1.40 odds and it is 1.70 for both teams to score. I think both will happen but I would prefer both teams to score to increase the total odds. 

Lens may have a better performance this season and a better position in the league table since they are 6th in the league standing while Lyon are currently in the 10th position but looking at the current form of Lyon it will be a very big risk to choose Lens to win from away when Lyon has gotten 4 consecutive wins in their last home and away matches. Lyon lost in their last meeting with Lens when they were in poor form but with their recent performance, I think pick a bts in the game would be a preferred option but a risk taker wouldn't mind to try out Lyon to win since they are playing in their home ground.

In Ligue 1, no one doubts PSG, even before the competition started, PSG was already the favorite to become champion, but the lack of competitiveness in this competition was detrimental for PSG, which could not develop to be able to compete fiercely in the Champion League.
As we saw in the previous season, even though PSG had many top players, they were unable to win the Champions League title.

The competition to win Ligue 1 has actually ended now and I am quite sure that there is no team in Ligue 1 that will be able to break PSG dominance in the league even in the next few seasons, the lack of big investors who want to acquire other teams in Ligue 1  make the competition unbalanced and not ompetitive so far, when many Middle Eastern investors want to acquire mediocre teams in other European leagues, but it seems as if their no interest in trying to acquire teams in Ligue 1, I don't know, what the reasons from big investors cant want to invest in teams in Ligue 1 other than PSG owner?

We cannot deny that the lack of competitiveness in Ligue 1 is that this also affects the mentality that PSG has when playing in European competitions such as the Champions League, although their squad is full of star players, the different mental pressure compared to the domestic league is certainly a reason from me to doubt PSG can win the Champions League, currently PSG has an aggregate of 2 goals ahead of Sociedad and at least that gives them a slight advantage in the second leg, but the real test for PSG mentality will be when they reach the top 4 of the Champions League in my opinion.

[FanEagle]

The thing about PSG failing to win is the fact that we are talking about bets that go wrong, that is the most important thing. I understand that they will win the league there is no doubt about that part but just because they will win the league doesn't mean that the yare going to be great, it just means that we are going to end up with a lot more bets lost because of this, that's the biggest problem.

I believe that we are going to end up with PSG failing to win more games, and our bets will be nothing when that happens. I understand that they do not have to care because they will win for sure, but that just results with them making us lose our money because they didn't care. We know that they can win any game they want, so it is a tough situation to lose when you know they could have won.

[Hvdv]

I think the PSG team's motivation when playing in the Champions League will be different so it has nothing to do with whatever results they get in Ligeu one.
And it must be admitted that PSG's performance this season has decreased slightly compared to last season, but being able to defend the title in League 1 is not a difficult thing because the quality difference is quite significant between PSG and other teams and financially PSG is also far superior, so it is natural only if there is no team capable of matching them in league 1.

In Ligue1 PSG can still do a lot to get good results with more satisfying results because remembering that other teams are not better than PSG itself. However, in the Champions League, PSG still cannot do much to get satisfactory results because the quality of the teams they face in the Champions League is always different from the teams that PSG often faces in Ligue1. I even still doubt PSG when they visit Real Sociedad in the second leg of the Champions League even though PSG already has two goals in aggregate for the second leg.

Real Sociedad is a strong team. In their first match against PSG, they had injured players and were very impressed with them. Of course, they may have a chance in the second match when these problems are eliminated. Still, we have to say that PSG has an advantage and 2 points will give them an advantage. PSG is a quality team and I am sure they will compete well in the rematch. League 1 is still a league in which they can easily win the championship. It has no serious rivals.

[tiCeR]

As per my definition a humiliating defeat is when somebody loses something of importance, but in all honesty if PSG lost this game, it wouldn't have changed anything. They are so far ahead that I think we will get to see more often games where it looks as if their opponent in the domestic league could beat them. But it doesn't matter after all because they can easily afford to lose a couple of games while focusing on the Champions League, if this is what their intention is. But I doubt that we will see the best game possible for as long as they have this comfortable lead and don't have to fear that the title could be at threat. The league is essentially over and I doubt that PSG is playing these league games at 100% of their capacity.

With the 11 point lead they have I think I agree with you. There would be nothing embarrassing if PSG lost to Rennes in that match. Maybe it will be a great achievement for Rennes fans as they will become the second team to beat PSG. But for PSG it will not change anything in the standings table. I think currently PSG is focusing on the Champions League match. They can play without pressure in league matches because of the points advantage they have. I think the teams that actually need to work hard to maintain their position are Brest and Monaco because their points are not much different from those ranked below them. I think the fight for the 2 remaining tickets to the Champions League will be very interesting to watch.

Yes they can play without pressure and yet they will win most of their games because the difference in quality of the teams across the whole league is too big. There is PSG and then there is nothing for a very long time until maybe Monaco or some team has decent quality, but none of the teams can get remotely close to what PSG has in their team. That's why the upcoming results can't be taken fully seriously. If in this phase of the season when PSG is 11 points ahead some team wins against them or ties a game, it doesn't mean that it was an extraordinary performance of that team. It is more likely that PSG just doesn't care anymore, which is quite boring to be honest.

[QueenVera]

However, there are times when all these records can be broken and I think Marseille's advantage in this match is one of them being the host and also having a different strategy than before. The rotation carried out by several players ahead of this match was really matured by coach Jean-Louis Gasset and maybe that is what made Marseille even more mature. It would be a shame if the bettors had to lose money as a result of betting on a draw and maybe next time they can fully expect Marseille with the current coach.

I know that there are no guarantees because a new coach may still find it difficult to find the right adaptation for his squad and maybe this will also be what Marseille will experience in the future. However, if this all persists and Marseille never loses in the last 5 matches in the future then it can be said that coach Jean-Louis Gasset is the right coach for Marseille. The turnover of trainers is very fast when someone leaves and vice versa, those who come also get to know each other very quickly. Honestly, I don't know yet if Marseille have found a replacement for Gattuso and only found out after I found out from various sources yesterday. It's good to see Marseille making the right move.

Betting on some matches is usually risky as you have no other option than to place your bet on what’s been happening at the end of 90 minutes in their previous fixtures. In this fixture, a frequent result has usually been draw and I think so many bettors had to pick that. Well surprisingly, we saw Marseille get all 3 points with their new manager now in charge. To an extent, a lot will say it was kind of expected especially as this is a new coach taking over and so he’ll want to prove a point to the board and the fans to have huge confidence and trust in him.

When you look at the pattern of this mew coach then I think you’ll have some sort of confidence in him and believe he knows what he’s doing. He actually brought rotation in the squad and it’s really been paying off for him as he’s mow maintaining good position and the new introduced players are also performing well up to expectation.Well Marseille had great advantage in this fixture which was playing at home and this is always a big boost for team as they’ve got majority of the fans rolling and cheering them up tp success.

 Talking about the mew coach, I think it’s a step in a positive direction for the club and he should also try to keep up the good work he’s started as they still have an European spot in sight to clinch and if they maintain this level of positivity, then they’ll sure be able to clinch on to this level of success and achieve their goal, which is an European spot for next season.

PSG is a quality team and I am sure they will compete well in the rematch. League 1 is still a league in which they can easily win the championship. It has no serious rivals.

On paper, Real Sociedad will find it very difficult to score three goals to get rid of PSG, even though they will act as hosts. At this time, Real Sociedad is experiencing a decline in performance, the La Liga representatives have just been eliminated in the Copa del Rey in the semifinals. Only a miracle can help them progress to the quarter finals of the Champions League, while hoping that PSG will have a bad day ahead of the match. In my opinion, PSG will win again, but a draw is enough to get them through. It is the right choice for Luis Enrique to rotate his players, resting key players to avoid the risk of injury and accumulation of cards.

As a coach with a wealth of experience, Luis Enrique will certainly act carefully in determining his lineup later, underestimating Real Sociedad is not a good idea. Surprises in the Champions League are very possible, which are sometimes very difficult to accept with common sense, such as Manchester United failure in the group phase. Things like that are very likely to happen, therefore Real Sociedad must be considered a serious opponent. Apart from that, the competition which is not very competitive in Ligue 1 at the moment, PSG should be able to make good use of it, to focus and prioritize the Champions League.

Betting on a team that is highly favored to win, then you only get low odds like for example below than @1.3x. Therefore, if you only bet for PSG to win every match, then you will not be able to get a good profit even if you bet with a lot of money . Therefore, to maximize PSG's chances in every match in Ligue 1, of course, with different options . Because yes, if you bet with different options then of course you will still have a chance to get better odds so yes, you will still get a better profit too when betting on matches played by PSG in this domestic league. But indeed, basically PSG is still very promising for good results in matches played in the domestic league, because PSG still has good dominance this season.

I agree that Real Sociedad is a strong team, in fact, if they were not strong enough they could not stand in a tournament like the Champions League, and playing in this tournament for any team means they are strong enough to make a problem for other teams but I think playing against a team like PSG with all the superstar players they have can't be easy for a team like Real Sociedad and let's say I think PSG will easy pass this stage in the Champions League against Real Sociedad considering the situation they have.

In Ligue 1 PSG does not have a fairly balanced rival and they will continue to dominate the league forever. The difference in quality, club finances and resources possessed by PSG will be very difficult for other clubs to break. Now what PSG is doing is no longer talking about how they can get the Ligue 1 title but how they can compete in the Champions League competition. Because when it comes to Ligue 1 they don't need other great players and the quality they currently have is enough.

Luis Enrique has an obligation to manage the team and the big targets given to him are how PSG can compete in the Champions League. Their performance has not decreased and in fact I see it is much better after Luis Enrique became coach, but it is not yet fully optimal because it may take time for PSG to build a much stronger squad.

I think whatever points PSG will get at the end of this season will be very meaningful and also with a difference of 11 points ahead of Brest, PSG will have enough time to try new strategies later. Apart from all that, I hope PSG will not underestimate Monaco because they still want to maintain their chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season and have the opportunity to overtake Brest if they win.

PSG was indeed able to pass the last 16 stage to advance to the next round even though the second leg match was at home to Real Sociedad. However, what needs to be seen here is that the level of difficulty for PSG must be there to get through all of this because there is no easy way in the Champions League to get through round after round. I think Real Sociedad will continue to show their skills in the second leg when they host PSG even though Real Sociedad was two goals behind in the first leg.

Say that to Bayern Munich, they're always become a champion in Bundesliga for a decade which mean in there there's no balanced rival too, but they're always become one of favorite in Champions League. Remember we're talking about no rival and Champions League, not only the current season since Bayern Munich now has a new rival i.e. Bayer Leverkusen.

PSG is just an all star club without any strategy, that's why they always lose against all star club that play with a strategy.

Real Sociedad was good team with their recent performance are surely never been at his best because in last eight games they are having just one win and their attack is also terrible which fail to give them anything positive while in last eight games we have just 3 goals from them which is giving all view about their performance and future in this big event where they are already having 2 goals into their first leg game and have to do hard work if they want to become on level against PSG in second leg game.

No doubt they were good in early rounds of this season, but now they are suffering badly and have to give their best if they want to end with better results most chances we will have PSG in next round without any serious trouble because they are surely at his best and things are completely under their control after the first leg vital lead which allow them for having victory of 2–0.

As of now we have 11 rounds left with 11 points difference mean is all is well for the leaders and their quality and consistency is unmatchable in this league no other team is capable of giving them challenge even now if they will play with their mostly reserve players things will be under control because mostly other teams are having no quality of their level and their consistency is also not good in last few weeks we have some improvement into few teams, but now things are completely under PSG control with Monaco and Brest are doing good, but their performance is also not as they can create problems for the leaders.

Now Lille and Nice can create problems for the Monaco which is currently at third and now having challenge against PSG but here again we need consistency from these teams which are not going as they needed because mostly are suffering due to lack of funds which are important for the best from them.

I find what you said as very accurate. PSG leaders have enough money to throw in buying names rather than what they need in reality to boost the team regardless of names but skills and long-term performance.
Without citing names, PSG signed many players that turned out to be useless. Same mistake is being done intentionally by Saudi Pro League since they are trying to make others know better their league. For PSG, things are very different since they are known and their fans want a star from Champions League rather than just taking the French league every time. They need a solid strategy not just a show. I find it as a business model more than a team that want Champions League title.

Clubs are quite ranked by how they perform in the league and majorly how they perform quite across Europe. Well the way most clubs play doesn’t reflect on how they up their performance in Europe and it’s auite worrisome to he club’s name. PSG is one team that’s always dominated the French league but when it comes to playing in Europe, they’re nothing to write home about. The way they play in the league is quite different from how they play in Europe.

 And this kind of factor is worrisome as it brings bad name to the club and the fans doesn’t have the much confidence in the team. PSG has overly dominated their league and with the kind of finance and squad they have, it’s expected that they’ll be having some great and wonderful moment in the UCL but the reverse seems to be the case here. This PSg team with all her stars still doesn’t seem to make it past the Round of 16 or Quater Finals of this competition and slowly it’s becoming a thing of worry.

 When you try to analyze, you’ll see that there could be many factors pointing to this: The Lack of investment in the other clubs in the league, this lack of investment in other clubs makes them still be a mediocre club and that reason, not giving PSG any challenge for the title and as such, they’re quite comfortable with their current position and wouldn’t want to improve on how they play. I Luis is a good tactician and would have noticed this and I expect come next season with the proper player recruitment, we should expect PSG attaining a height in the UCL.

PSG is just an all star club without any strategy, that's why they always lose against all star club that play with a strategy.

It's interesting what you say about Paris Saint Germain being an All Star club with no strategy, but I seem to agree with you. They don't lack star players every season, but they also always struggle in the Champions League, I even forgot the last time they played well in the Champions League, if I'm not mistaken it was in the semi-final against Real Madrid? Correct me if I'm wrong.

They're a strong giant in Ligue 1, but that's not the case when they're in the Champions League, because in the Champions League they've got really balanced competitors that are even better than them. Real Madrid, Manchester City are the popular names in the Champions League these days, and when compared to them, Paris Saint Germain are still below the level of the two clubs I mentioned.

I don't really want to say this, but indeed they only have money, not strategy. They should be able to improve themselves with their excellent financial capabilities to be more promising. And what they are doing now is squandering money that does not make them better even though they have star players whose prices are very high.

I think the opening match this week is a big match and I think both Monaco and PSG will always show their prestige when facing each other. I feel this will be a proving ground for both teams and maybe Monaco is quite the favorite here because they play as hosts. However, PSG, who want to continue to consolidate their title this season, will try very hard and do not want to play a draw like the previous match against Rennes.

I am happy that since the draw, PSG has been much more open and considering that next season they will almost certainly not have their star, namely Mbappe, so Luis Enrique is starting to get used to his players without being dependent on the captain of the French national team. I think whatever points PSG will get at the end of this season will be very meaningful and also with a difference of 11 points ahead of Brest, PSG will have enough time to try new strategies later. Apart from all that, I hope PSG will not underestimate Monaco because they still want to maintain their chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season and have the opportunity to overtake Brest if they win.

Both clubs have the same advantage, even though Monaco will be favored because they are competing at home, but the absence of Breel Embolo makes Monaco not too strong because this player is a very productive player and in the next match he will still undergo medical treatment.
For the time being I will say that Monaco has a bigger chance of winning even though what I said is like luck but I just want to see the surprise that happens even though PSG wants to maintain its position but the difference in points is so far that it is possible that PSG will share a draw or even back down.
Betting on this match I believe both clubs between Monaco and PSG will score so betting on both clubs scoring will be better.

My prediction was actually correct if the match would end in a draw but my mistake was just thinking that both clubs would score but it turned out that both clubs maintained their goals without conceding.
I really praised how Monaco's performance against PSG was able to provide good resistance, making PSG feel pressured and did not dare to take risks to provide a stronger attack.
I saw that Monaco's defense looked very strong, focusing on PSG's attacking players, so it was not surprising that PSG had difficulty scoring.
