French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Minecache]

What makes me praise PSG's performance this season is the compactness in teamwork. Even no player is privileged in the team but all get the same trust. That is a big change that shows better performance this season. A big score victory has proven their toughness without relying on the performance of a player. Luis Enrique certainly has to prove the real strength that PSG has this season, both in the Champions League and in the domestic league. With this great progress, of course PSG is still very much favored to continue to dominate Ligue 1 this season.

In addition to still being able to dominate Ligue 1 this season, PSG can also be a tough opponent in the Champions League if they continue to consistently play better without relying on one of the players in their squad. Because the opponents in the Champions League are certainly not careless opponents and also have toughness so PSG is also expected to be able to overcome this this season with the best direction from Luis Enrique. Because PSG's proof in Ligue 1 is actually more than enough and now it's time for PSG to make a more valid proof in the UCL this season.

I would say the way PSG have performed so well so far, if this trend continues, the team can do well in the Champions League this season. One important thing is that while this team has been dependent on Mbappe in the last few seasons, this season the team is not dependent on any particular player. PSG is now stronger as a team. This is why PSG is able to consistently perform well.

Luis Enrique managed to change the overall situation of PSG. PSG has managed to mitigate the weaknesses within the squad to a great extent. The team scored 13 goals in 3 matches and conceded 2 goals. So far we haven't found any weaknesses in PSG's squad. But looking forward to see how this team performs in the long run.

Marseille was quite good at the beginning of the season with all the new things this season, but it is necessary to think that their consistency will continue to be in a good enough situation, where they also often steal goals in matches and that makes me less sure whether he will continue to impress fans.

Regarding the record with PSG is bad I think if PSG continues in the current state and they meet again it will not change and the record is even worse because it can not beat PSG at home again, it will happen, Luis Enrique really gets his light back to be able to dominate League 1 this season.

PSG will play Marseille at the end of October, and until then they will try to be as close to PSG as possible. But despite a good game, they have already lost points in the match with Reims, so who knows what else can happen during this time. Marseille can afford to fully focus on Ligue 1, but I am not sure that this will help them to compete with PSG, if they are already losing points even without a face-to-face confrontation. And the match with Lille showed that they will not be able to become worthy opponents for them either, despite the away match it was an easy victory for PSG.

I think Lille is the one that is doing great this season and will do probably very good. The last game was against PSG and losing to PSG is nothing big deal, every team loses to them anyway, but Lille ended up with a win over the last two games before that.

There is a potential that they could do fine this season, I have seen them on UCL qualifiers too and they look like a very good team, it doesn't matter how we are dealing with this situation, it just looks like we are dealing with a team that is doing quite amazingly, and that's the most important part. I believe that betting on Lille could make some good profits, it would be a very good choice and I will do that for a few more weeks and see if they are actually as good as I think they are.

When talking about performance, there are many clubs that are better than Lille so far, they're Marseille, Nantes, Lens and Monaco. If we compare Lille's performance this season and last season, I saw they were much better last season, occupying fourth place in the standings. IDK how you can judge Lille this season, none of them have been able to impress me with their performances so far.

Marseille are one of the teams that impress me so far after leaving three weeks behind. It looks like De Zerbi has made a quite positive impact on the team success.    7 points in 3 games is really good.

They score lots of goals easily. They only have a conceding problem at the same time. But it isn't an issue that can't be solved with this determination. Apart from that it wouldn't turn into a serious problem as long as they are this capable in the attacking line. I want to see how they perform against PSG as well. It is in Round 9 and a home game for Marseille. They can't beat PSG home in the Ligue 1 since 2011. It is a huge record. 

Considering the way PSG play this season, the record might get bigger.

Marseille are trying their best to challenge PSG but they can't challenge PSG to win the league title this season, PSG have been in a good performance since the beginning of the league and with the way they are playing you will know that PSG can win the league title without Mbappe when Mbappe leaves PSG I was like the team will struggle to defeat some team but after seeing the squad of PSG I believe that the team has to make a good signing, PSG  know how to sign player's and the team did not care of sending any amount to buy a player, all the team care is to have good players in the team.

The only trophy PSG doesn't know how to win is the champion league, PSG doesn't have the winning mentality in champion if not with the squad PSG used to have every season the team should be able to win a trophy, although the league just started and we can't just judge any team performance for now if we look at the beginning of some team's we all will know that they capable of winning a trophy this season.

Regarding the very stable performance, only PSG, but if we talk about other teams, it is actually difficult to say which team other than PSG has a very stable performance. Lille may be said to be stable but this is just the beginning of the season which cannot guarantee that at the end of the season Lille can remain consistent. However, for me, the other team that looks more convincing is Monaco, which always gives its best performance even though it always fails to compete with PSG, but Monaco is always a positive view for me. Marseille can be one of the stable teams but sometimes it makes me worried when betting on this team. Because last season Marseille made us all worried when they started the season a little badly but got better in the second half of last season.

After international break i found one interesting match on week 4 and it is Lens vs Lyon and i know Lyon start is not too impressive this season because they had just gets 2 loses from 3 matches and last week Lyon also have to hard struggling to gets the winning result from Strasbourg and i think the match against Lens could be hard match for Lyon because they have poor records while against Lens and in the last 5 meeting from Lens we can see Lyon only can able to gets 1 win



Besides that if we see based on the statistics for both teams i can see Lyon had a problem with their defense because until week 3 Lyon have conceded 8 goals and compared to them Lens performance is quite stable because they only conceded 1 goal from strong team Monaco and for this match my prediction Lyon will be lost again
