French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[pusaka]

I never saw ligue 1 as a competitive league even with the many stars playing in ligue 1 so far, the dominance possessed by PSG is too great in ligue 1 so that it makes many other teams unable to compete in the race for the title and that happened since PSG became a rich team, losing mbappe did not have a significant impact on PSG because so far they are still stable and still become the strongest team in ligue 1, so that's what makes ligue 1 not as attractive as other leagues in Europe, because every rival team faces a big challenge with PSG strong financial advantage.

This dominance is what makes it feel boring as if there is no resistance from other teams even though some quality players are on other teams, PSG is still the leader at the end of the season. As long as there are no big investors who boost the finances of other teams, PSG will always be the favorite every season. Losing 1 player is not a big problem because management has a replacement for Mbappe and maintains his performance to be more stable.

Ligue 1 is a league that many people call a farmer's league, because the competition here is not competitive and tends to be boring. That's because Paris Saint Germain's dominance is very strong in Ligue 1 so that the competition seems to belong only to them. I think when they are not in Ligue 1, then maybe the league will be more competitive. But that might also make Ligue 1 less popular, because besides dominating, the presence of Paris Saint Germain is also one of the reasons why this league is still in demand by many people. Some want to see how far Paris Saint Germain has developed, some compare it to the Champions League, and others.

It seems in PSG there is not a good relationship between Donnarumma and their coach Enrique because they didn't use this goalkeeper in many games and he was not in the first squad in PSG. Since Donnarumma is the first goalkeeper in Italy's national team this is important for him to be in a team where he can play more than other teams. That's why Donnarumma is thinking about leaving PSG at the end of the season.
Enrique is using his Russian goalkeeper Matvei Safonov, instead of Donnarumma.
It seems even if Donnarumma leaves PSG there is a higher chance for him to return Serie A again.
He joined PSG back in 2021 with Messi.

There are several big clubs in Ligue 1. But none of them are willing to spend a lot of money to build their squad. On the other hand, PSG's owner is very rich. At the same time, he is also ready to spend a lot of money to strengthen the squad. That is why every season we see PSG building the strongest squad in Ligue 1. And every season PSG dominates Ligue 1 and wins the title.

Monaco and Marseille started very well at the beginning of this season. We thought it would not be easy for PSG to win the title this season. But teams like Marseille and Monaco have already fallen far behind in the title race. PSG is 7 points behind Marseille, who is in second place in the table. Since the performance of these teams is not consistent, I don't think it will be possible for Marseille to close the big gap of 7 points.

With how PSG doing right now, I would say they can play with just U21 for a few weeks and they can still be getting the title win, which is the best thing for a club in UCL because if you are leading by this many points at league, that should give you more than what you need, and that will definitely allow you a bit of resting as well.

If players end up resting, that would be a lot better and we could definitely consider how to get better results without a doubt, I believe that will be the most important part. I can see how things could be a bit different, I can see how we could see where this could lead them to, but it doesn't matter where we can end up with at the end of the day, we still need to wait and see how PSG will do.

[tusandii]

It was a big surprise to see PSG losing points in such game. Probably nobody expected them to do so against one of the teams in trouble in the Ligue 1 especially in a home game.

There must be many people who lost their bets on this game by betting on over 2.5 goals and even more than that maybe.    Anyways, now there is an opportunity for Monaco to get much closer to PSG in the standings. However the thing is, they have an away game against Marseille today...



The odds are so close. 2.60 looks really nice to give Monaco a chance here. 

PSG didn't actually loose their points completely they still had a point at the end of the game even if it's not what they was expected of them, but then loosing completely would have been a really terrible one for them. People will loose their bet betting 2.5 or straight win on that game, because for me I expected PSG would get more than a goal in that game and it turned out they weren't able to secure more than a goal in that game. For the Monaco fixture,they are my favorite as I'm hoping they would want to cease this opportunity to further go up the table.

Even though PSG got 1 point in that match, disappointment was still inevitable because many bet on PSG's victory and maybe many bet on the Asian total hoping that PSG could score more than 2.5 goals but the results were not as expected, this was like a deliberate arrangement because with the low odds given by the bookies, PSG should have been able to win easily against Nantes.
For the Marseille vs Monaco match, unfortunately I missed the bet on this match, the victory was obtained by Marseille and collects the same points as Monaco.

There was no other team in the French league that competed as hard as PSG and this rivalry continued until the end of the season. I left out the fact that PSG teams are stronger in other seasons, but the team that PSG has this season is not very strong, so why are the other teams in the league not able to compete with PSG this season as well.

We know one team in France league and that team is PSG. All the other teams outside of PSG are just teams, they can never do anything good. Every season PSG may only have to plan to do well in the Champions League because they don't have to plan for their domestic league because here they win when they take the field and celebrate the title at the end of the season. But I would say that PSG should spend money once again and prepare for the Champions League and if they do now, they will have a better chance of success than in other seasons.

[bitgolden]

Monaco and Marseille facing each other, Marseille winning is a great benefit for them, lets see what's going to happen. I also believe that PSG getting a tie at this week isn't really good for them but it doesn't really matter at all, because they are still quite far ahead and that doesn't really believe anything that is getting bigger, should be a much better situation for them but they are still winning the league without much issues at all, it is going to just end.

I hope that we could see what we can make a change about, and because of that I believe that we are going to see much better results with them, and UCL is something they need to focus a lot more on right now, with the way things are going, they are not doing that great at UCL so they need some wins there instead.

PSG was not losing, but they drew against Nantes. It's a shameful performance from them. They owned 84% ball possession, create a lot of big chances, but keep unable to get three points. Their gamplay is just getting even worsening, too much possession and backpass.

Although PSG was getting draw, they should not feel panic.  they're still 7 points ahead from the second place.

It seems you were underrating Nantes just because they were at the relegation. It's good they showed unexpected performance against PSG. They have made lots of people were fuming toward PSG. What a show!  

As usual, Paris Saint-Germain always dominates the game, even they have a lot of opportunities. Unfortunately, PSG does not have a player who can be relied on as a goal scorer in his squad. In this match we can see Enrique trying to rotate his players again, Dembele and Warren Emery are not played as the main starters. Instead, Kang-in Lee was shifted to the wing and Goncalo Ramos returned to being the center forward. These two players are quite good based on their statistical value, but Barcola did not perform well. In fact, PSG has many opportunities, even in almost every match they play. Unfortunately, PSG does not have a striker who is able to be a finisher in his team. We can see that Enrique often dismantles his center forwards, even the return of Ramos has not been able to answer the team's needs. However, PSG is a team that has a high probability of retaining the League title, although Enrique seems dissatisfied with the performance of his team. To be honest, I didn't watch this match, but looking at the statistics of the match, it seems that Nantes played very tightly with a defensive approach and that's why PSG had difficulty getting full points.

PSG played better and they controlled the majority of the game I think it was not just their day this is sport you can't win every game you have to win some draw some while you lose some too so we don't need to blame Paris for this draw nobody saw it coming Nantes are fighting for their lives in the french Ligue one this season so they took and utilize the little opportunities that came their way, going forward their confidence level is going to improve as it will translate in their play going forward because drawing against teams like PSG is not easy so if they can do it against PSG they can do it also against other top teams too that should be their mindset and if they continue this way they will likely escape relegation this season because there are still allot of matches to play

Even though Paris Saint-Germain will not win all their matches in Ligue 1, it is not a club like Nantes they should play draw with because Nantes has been struggling to win their matches in the league this season, and seeing them traveling to Paris Saint-Germain's home last weekend and sharing the point with Paris Saint-Germain is a bad result for Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain cut a lot of bets last weekend because most gamblers believed that Paris Saint-Germain would beat Nantes with ease, and they even failed to play over 2.5 goals, which most gamblers will prefer to the option in the game. Nantes is struggling in Ligue 1 now, and even with the draw they played with Paris Saint-Germain last weekend, they will not win their next match because they aren't consistent this season.

At the same time, he is also ready to spend a lot of money to strengthen the squad. That is why every season we see PSG building the strongest squad in Ligue 1. And every season PSG dominates Ligue 1 and wins the title.

Monaco and Marseille started very well at the beginning of this season. We thought it would not be easy for PSG to win the title this season. But teams like Marseille and Monaco have already fallen far behind in the title race. PSG is 7 points behind Marseille, who is in second place in the table. Since the performance of these teams is not consistent, I don't think it will be possible for Marseille to close the big gap of 7 points.

Despite having good potential French Ligue 1 is losing his charm as we have serious downfall of quality in many clubs even big clubs are not able to have quality and consistency which is hurting them badly in start of this season we have good chance of fight for the title between top clubs but both Marseille and Monaco facing troubling time as they are set for the second and third spot with few clubs are trying to create challenges for them which could be make some interesting situation near the end of this season.

PSG is still at the top with they have the weakest side in this season and their performance is also not good as we have in the Past, but Luis Enrique is surely had time to set this squad and have good results in coming season but still we need good work from officials of Ligue 1 as well for the improvement of quality and have few quality players which can bring good action for the fans.

Nantes is struggling in Ligue 1 now, and even with the draw they played with Paris Saint-Germain last weekend, they will not win their next match because they aren't consistent this season.

These are unexpected results that you’ll never see coming in a match, they just happen when you least expect them. Nantes will be very happy to have shared a point with Paris Saint German and also sharing the point in an away game will also make them more happier. The Ligue 1 is still very much in favour of Paris Saint German and matches like this will not even retard them that much to make them feel inferior to winning the league title. Let’s see what Luis Enrique has in their coming match. As for Nantes, no any sign of them to be a formidable team that we can depend on, they may still lose in their next match and not able to get any point. They are not consistent and getting a draw against Paris Saint German is not convincing enough to give them much hope to continue in this form.

[Palakka]

It was surprising to see the final result of the match between PSG vs Nantes, although PSG was superior on all sides over nantes in the match,but they actually failed to take advantage of many opportunities well, lead by 1 goal in the second minute in first half, made me think that they would win with a big score over nantes, but in fact Nantes managed to hold PSG draw with a score of 1-1 in the match .

[beerlover]

There was no other team in the French league that competed as hard as PSG and this rivalry continued until the end of the season. I left out the fact that PSG teams are stronger in other seasons, but the team that PSG has this season is not very strong, so why are the other teams in the league not able to compete with PSG this season as well.

We know one team in France league and that team is PSG. All the other teams outside of PSG are just teams, they can never do anything good. Every season PSG may only have to plan to do well in the Champions League because they don't have to plan for their domestic league because here they win when they take the field and celebrate the title at the end of the season. But I would say that PSG should spend money once again and prepare for the Champions League and if they do now, they will have a better chance of success than in other seasons.

Because of money, that's it. While you may think PSG isn't that great this season, and you are sort of right with how things are going for PSG, they are still better, you just think they are not great because you saw them do much better previously and they are doing worse than they did previously which makes sense to think that they are worse now.

But, even with them being worse right now, that doesn't change the fact that their new "worse" is still better than all other teams. The amount of money they are spending is not even remotely close to any other team, they can outspend any opponent one to ten, and that means they are going to keep being the best team out there in the world until someone else gets some money.

It seems that PSG really underestimated Nantes who are in the relegation zone, even though PSG managed to score a quick goal but PSG still conceded and worse still PSG did not manage to score any more goals. Playing at home and being a team that is very favored to win because they only played against Nantes, in reality PSG could still fail like that which of course is a very disappointing result for bettors. But, if for example I didn't bet then I might consider it normal, because in any case PSG's position is safe at the top of the standings. But indeed, because Nantes has a bad trend until now, PSG should still be able to guarantee victory even though they not have clean sheets, but in fact PSG still failed to win at home.

[dezoel]

Monaco and Marseille facing each other, Marseille winning is a great benefit for them, lets see what's going to happen. I also believe that PSG getting a tie at this week isn't really good for them but it doesn't really matter at all, because they are still quite far ahead and that doesn't really believe anything that is getting bigger, should be a much better situation for them but they are still winning the league without much issues at all, it is going to just end.

I hope that we could see what we can make a change about, and because of that I believe that we are going to see much better results with them, and UCL is something they need to focus a lot more on right now, with the way things are going, they are not doing that great at UCL so they need some wins there instead.

Mason Greenwood hits his 9th goal for the Marseille on 89th minute penalty to secure 3 points for his club and 3 important points which bring them on second spot in league table with this win now things are interesting for the second and third spot in this season while we have Lille and Lyon on 4th and 5th spots which could be brought good entertainment.

In this game we have good resistance from the Monaco as they have lead in first half but two goals from Luis Henrique and Greenwood give them important win in this game in second half we have aggressive approach by the Marseille as they were looking for positive end of the game and 3 points which helps them for staying at the top and have things well under control Monaco is having tough time in coming weeks as they have few challenging games while visiting Arsenal and hosting PSG give them no easy time.

[Nheer]

With how PSG doing right now, I would say they can play with just U21 for a few weeks and they can still be getting the title win, which is the best thing for a club in UCL because if you are leading by this many points at league, that should give you more than what you need, and that will definitely allow you a bit of resting as well.

If players end up resting, that would be a lot better and we could definitely consider how to get better results without a doubt, I believe that will be the most important part. I can see how things could be a bit different, I can see how we could see where this could lead them to, but it doesn't matter where we can end up with at the end of the day, we still need to wait and see how PSG will do.

You’re right, they doing well in the league and they are already topping the table with about 7 points so even if they play their U21 for a few weeks they would still be able to win some matches and still retain their first place. The Ligue 1 is not a too difficult league so winning the title shouldn’t be much of a challenge for them this season because Merseille and Monaco are not making it challenging for them at all.

They are doing better in the League but not doing well in the champions league and even though they rest players up and feature them in the Champions league only I don’t think it will change anything for them in the champions league so i think they should rather focus on winning the league trophies instead and prepare for the champions league trophy next season.

[TelolettOm]

Monaco and Marseille facing each other, Marseille winning is a great benefit for them, lets see what's going to happen. I also believe that PSG getting a tie at this week isn't really good for them but it doesn't really matter at all, b

For now, PSG's position is still quite safe in the first rank with a gap of 7 points. But it does not mean that they can relax. Even in the last match, PSG was even held to a draw by Nantes club, the bottom 2 of Ligue 1, this is quite disappointing in its track record. In the future, PSG must be much more careful in every match.

It seems that PSG really underestimated Nantes who are in the relegation zone, even though PSG managed to score a quick goal but PSG still conceded and worse still PSG did not manage to score any more goals. Playing at home and being a team that is very favored to win because they only played against Nantes, in reality PSG could still fail like that which of course is a very disappointing result for bettors.

Exactly, or indeed because PSG is very lacking in the front line, there are so many opportunities, but they are unable to score several goals, only 1 goal. even though they tried 24 shots and 10x shots on target, that's how weak PSG's attacking lie is now. It is true that in the transfer market later, PSG must buy a new striker or other new sharper forwards.

Unfortunately, some of the match of big and top team ended not according to expectations, PSG should have won the match but they let Nantes get draw and every PSG attack effort was not really optimized after Nantes managed to equalize to 1 - 1.
No one knows why this result could happen but they made many people lose money when made them the favorite to win the match, now PSG only has difference of 7 points from Marseille who is in second place and Monaco who also has the same points as Marseille.

[tusandii]

Marseille's victory made their position rise to 2nd place temporarily and have the same number of points as Monaco but interestingly not only that even the number of wins, draws and losses are also the same indicating that their performance is almost equal I think this will be a fierce competition to fight for second place this season, it is impossible to win the title and break PSG's dominance even though the current point difference is not too far but so far PSG is still consistent but Monaco and Marseille are likely to only be able to fight for a position below PSG let's see how far they will survive this season because changes can still happen.

[Hvdv]

It was a big surprise to see PSG losing points in such game. Probably nobody expected them to do so against one of the teams in trouble in the Ligue 1 especially in a home game.

There must be many people who lost their bets on this game by betting on over 2.5 goals and even more than that maybe.    Anyways, now there is an opportunity for Monaco to get much closer to PSG in the standings. However the thing is, they have an away game against Marseille today...



The odds are so close. 2.60 looks really nice to give Monaco a chance here. 

PSG didn't actually loose their points completely they still had a point at the end of the game even if it's not what they was expected of them, but then loosing completely would have been a really terrible one for them. People will loose their bet betting 2.5 or straight win on that game, because for me I expected PSG would get more than a goal in that game and it turned out they weren't able to secure more than a goal in that game.

For the Marseille vs Monaco match, unfortunately I missed the bet on this match, the victory was obtained by Marseille and collects the same points as Monaco.

In statistics, Paris Saint-Germain clearly had a clear advantage. Paris Saint-Germain, who had 85% ball possession, could not score a second goal. I can say that this match was the most important point for Nantes. Paris Saint-Germain is doing well in the league. Although the Nantes draw did not hurt them, it must have still upset them. Marseille's victory in the match with Monaco was very important. Marseille, who won this derby, reduced the point difference with Paris Saint-Germain to seven points.

No one knows why this result could happen but they made many people lose money when made them the favorite to win the match, now PSG only has difference of 7 points from Marseille who is in second place and Monaco who also has the same points as Marseille.

That generally happens because we can see how the attack efforts made by PSG are problematic at the time of the final finish so that even though there are many opportunities they fail to take advantage of them to score goals. Another factor is that they have a slightly denser match schedule so that their concentration is divided and they do not play in better condition and on the contrary the opponent takes advantage of that even though they are still unable to beat them and are only able to hold PSG to a draw.

Seven points difference from the challenger can be said to be far for the competition in Ligue 1 because we do not see the competition in this league being more competitive than other leagues. PSG is still comfortable in first place and maybe they will try to prepare for the Champions League match in the future because they will face a much stronger opponent.
