French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[klidex]

In the first week of Ligue 1 PSG won big win and for the second week they will meet Montpellier and play at home, this is good opportunity for PSG to maintain their victory at the beginning of the season and get as many points as possible.
Montpellier is not strong team and they are certainly an easy opponent for PSG to beat, PSG superiority is really visible and they are also the favorites for this match.
I took several options to choose PSG, I have confidence that PSG will be able to take advantage of all their advantages since the first half started.

PSG will clearly be the favorite in this match because they will play as the home team which has a big advantage to win I'm sure there will be many goals scored just like the first match.

I also placed the same multi bet but with different odds I took higher odds that @1,86 I saw their statistics in the last 5 meetings PSG always scored more than 2 goals so I think placing more than 2.5 is not too riskyI actually wanted to include the BTTS option on the multi bet as well but this seems a bit dubious hopefully our bets will be in accordance with each other's predictions.

In my opinion, the bet used by #HiroseUK is indeed safer but a little risky on the first goal option.
Actually, taking a bet like that with odds of only 1.6 does not match the risk taken because if a surprise occurs when PSG can score big in the second half and Montpellier scores early, the bet will definitely fail.

I agree more with you #Rendravolt choosing to bet on over 3.25 is more convincing because PSG can definitely score big at home because PSG's performance without Mbappe is still the same and with odds of 1.70 it is equivalent to the risk you take.
Maybe I will also bet on PSG's victory -1.5 with odds 1.79.

PSG was able to realize their advantage only at the end of the match, when they scored several goals in a few minutes. But you are right, it was the first match and it was an away match, and at home with Montpellier everything can be even easier. I don’t know, I don’t like to bet with such a handicap, it’s more comfortable for me when the handicap is no more than -1, when it remains safe for me if the team wins with the advantage of only one goal, which PSG will be enough to get 3 points. Although I do not exclude that they can get a convincing victory again and score a few goals.

PSG scored three goals in the last 6 minutes of the match against Le Havre. And in the match an excellent 4-1 victory, PSG played very well, the team had 76% of the ball possession in the match. And won by a big margin of 4-1. However, the opponent Le Havre was quite weak in comparison.

PSG will play against Montpellier in their next match. Firstly it is PSG's home match, secondly the Montpellier team is also quite weak. An interesting point is that PSG have won their last 5 matches against Montpellier. And in these 5 matches PSG players scored 21 goals. PSG won every match by a big margin. And right now PSG players are in very good form. The players are now more confident after the win in the first match. So I guess PSG will win the next match against Montpellier by a big margin.

I know the scoreline says PSG got a huge win but I think this scoreline is deceptive. Their attack seemed like they lost their path. After they got Ousman Dembele in, their attack started looking somewhat good and they were making sense out of their attack.  They scored 3 of their goals after the 80th minute, meaning for most of the time, the match’s score was a draw.

PSG needs to work on both their defense and attack. It is a very heavy blow for a team like PSG to lose a player like Mbappe who has been their star player for a few seasons and practically carried the team. They have also lost Sergio Ramos in the defense. Their defense does not have any big players either. I would say their current weakest point is their and their best point is that they have a manager like Enrique. I think it will be very tough for them to win the league this year. They will be struggling very badly in the league against good teams like Lille. I doubt even if they will be able to get out of the Champions League group stage this year.

Best of luck with your bet.

I think your picks really make sense for this game. Just look at the last 5 games between PSG and Montpellier. 



All of them ended up with your picks. PSG didn't have any problems on destroying them. I know there is no Mbappe from now on but it doesn't matter. We have all seen the way PSG started this season. A destruction by 4-1 against Le Havre.    They are playing really well as a team for now. It is satisfying to see them not having a game plan relying on a specific player anymore. It is a better motive to push themselves to play effective as a team.

PSG will faced touchable opponents this season, he will sealed the big winning and we totally understand the pressure from other oppositions. Ligue One is a league for main clubs and Olympique Marseille on the other hand not relenting. They've recorded one of the stunning results and also ranking first on the table. As for Paris Saint-Germain, they will always come out with excellent results in their opening match. Luis Enrique ensure he's having the best moment with the club.

PSG players and the coaching staff have it in mind that they need to prove a point to the fans and others that they can perform well without Mbappe. You know some people thought that since Mbappe has left PSG that they wouldn't be competent of winning the league. Starting the season by scoring many goals is a good way to put fear in the minds of your opponents because they will start to be afraid of playing you and they'll play with caution when you meet. PSG has won 20 matches against Montpellier hence they'll still defeat them when they play. There's also going to be lost of goals in the game as psg will want to continue their scoring of many goals in their games and Montpellier is just the prefect opponent they should face because they score lots of goals when facing them. If the new PSG is going to be scoring lots of goals, I don't think any team can stop them in the league.

It is not in vain that Marseille spent a fairly large amount of money for a middle club like them in this transfer market.
It is recorded that they spent Expenditure funds of: €84.50m
While their own income so far from selling players is: €76.00m

Marseille has made many changes to its squad this season including making de zerbi as coach, apart from that, Marseille ambition to be able to compete with PSG requires them to spend a lot of money to recruit new players, after losing Aubameyang and several of its main players last season, Marseille continues to be active in the transfers market in fact they are continuing to try to bring in several other players at the moment,

Indeed, they don't stop there.
Even at this time, Marseille are competing with Leipzig and Leverkusen to get Arthur Vermeeren, the 19-year-old Central Midfield from Atletico Madrid for loan.


Source: RB Leipzig, Olympique Marseille and Bayer Leverkusen are keen on signing Arthur Vermeeren on initial loan deal.

He is a young player, even his reputation and contribution are very different from other Atletico Madrid midfielders. However, currently, his market value is €25.00m.

De Zerbi has very good capacity and ability when coaching Brighton and that's why if Marseille currently has high hopes after they recruited De Zerbi as coach, Marseille realized that having a good coach doesn't guarantee good results so they actually made a breakthrough  continue to strengthen their squad by bringing in lots of new players to support de zerbi in Marseille, even though we know competing with PSG is not an easy thing but I think we will see Marseille this season will be better in Ligue 1, a few days ago they have officially signed Elyi Wahi from Lens and I suspect that this will be their last transfer at this time, but if you say that they are still targeting Arthur Vermeeren, of course they have shown extraordinary ambition this season in strengthening their squad, but if you look at other teams who are also interested on Arthur Vermeeren then I think it will be difficult for Marseille to get him and it is likely that he will choose to play at Leverkusen.

Atletico Madrid already has some quality midfielders, which have stopped the young player from playing regularly. The addition of Conor Gallagher to quality options like Koke, Rodrigo de Paul, and Pablo Barrios has made the future of Arthur Vermeeren. That's why he wants to move to another club where he can develop and enjoy more playing time.

Coach Diego Simeone, who is well known for his proficiency in handling transfer matters, doesn't want to sell the 19-year-old Belgian midfielder outrightly. Rather, he prefers to loan him to a high-ranking club in a competitive league to enable him to gain more experience. The competition between RB Leipzig, Olympique de Marseille, and Bayer Leverkusen for his transfer shows that the young player is exceptionally good.

I will suggest he moves to Olympique de Marseille because Roberto De Zerbi is building a new team. Arthur Vermeeren might get more playing time there.

PSG was lucky because of hiring Enrique, they spent too much more for hiring Superstar players in the past but every time they couldn't get good results in the Champions League yet and it was not good for PSG to get these results. I think PSG can have better teamwork thanks to their coach and I think they can have better players when they have the enough time to fill the place of Mbappe in this team.
So far they didn't have hard games to test themselves after Mbappe left PSG.

PSG's form is really good. They steamrolled Le Havre, controlling the ball like they owned it. Not to mention that 4-1 win was not even their best performance. Now, let's talk history. PSG's last five matches against Montpellier? Twenty-one Goals. That comes out to be more than four goals every game average. They have been straightforward, plain crushing them

This time, Luis Enrique might make things different. He is excellent at extracting every bit of his players' potential, particularly in crucial circumstances. There is significance to this game. Thus, indeed, on paper a larger handicap would seem dangerous, but in reality? This is a planned risk. PSG has the momentum, the background, and the coach needed to bring it about. This is the moment to go big, if ever one exists
