French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[imamusma]

Basically, a five-point gap is not a safe gap but unfortunately, the rival teams in the trophy race are also not so good at being consistent in order to be able to provide a real threat to PSG. PSG currently has 34 points and Monaco 29 points, if for example PSG really gets a draw more often, then it is very possible for Monaco to succeed in continuing to approach to be able to overtake PSG. But indeed, in reality PSG will always be easy to rise  when it comes to competition in the Ligue 1 standings. But yes, for the next match PSG will get an opponent who might be difficult too, Lyon is PSG's opponent team for the next match and of course, it is very much hoped for Lyon to really be able  to get points in this match later.

The undeniable fact is that almost every Ligue 1 contestant has failed to put serious pressure on PSG. I agree that AS Monaco and Marseille have potential, but their potential seems to be limited to making the competition at the top of the standings more lively, not to break PSG dominance. I also think that PSG next match against Lyon will not make them lose points again. The best thing Lyon can do is force PSG to draw, it takes great luck to bring home full points at the Parc des Princes. We have seen many times, even though PSG often draw, no team is able to take that advantage of the moment to overtake them.

I was surprised that PSG could not beat Auxere even though they were a promoted club and what was more surprising was that they were only able to get a draw without scoring a goal even though PSG had many shots on goal but none of them managed to convert into goals, Auxere goalkeeper Donovan Leon was able to make 11 saves I admit he was extraordinary in holding off many attacks from PSG players, Auxere were of course very happy even though they did not win they were able to hold PSG to a draw.

I cannot understand PSG's current performances, who could have predicted a draw against Auxerre? Although Aurexe has been in better form since being promoted to the league this season, I did not expect them to draw against PSG. However, PSG has lost form after losing to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and PSG has been unable to win any game. PSG had 11 shots on goal, but none were convert into goals. I wonder what the point of having great attacking players and still failing to win games. Paris has the best attacking players, yet they cannot win games.

Furthermore, a lot of individuals who thought PSG would win the game will be disappointed by their last performance. However, I avoided betting on PSG in any of my bet slips since they lost their previous two games against Nantes, so I didn't bet on them against Auxere. Since they are unable to defeat a club in the 16th position in the Ligue 1 standings, I wonder how they will defeat Salzburg in their next Champions League match.

Getting 2 draws when facing a team that is below the standings is certainly a very disappointing result. and for the next match in the French league 1, PSG will face a fairly difficult team, namely Auxerre Lyon and Monaco which are teams in the top 10 of the standings. and if in the next match PSG cannot win or even lose, it can be concluded that the team is really experiencing a decline in performance when on the field.

And further regarding PSG's appearance in the Champions League, in several previous matches they performed very badly and even until now they have only been able to collect 4 points which makes them far in 25th position, PSG is having a fairly difficult time, they may not qualify for the next phase and be eliminated in the preliminary round.

PSG shared points in two consecutive matches. PSG dominated in both these matches, PSG players made a lot of attacks, but still failed to score. I have no doubt that PSG's match strategy is great. However, due to the lack of experienced players in the squad, we are not seeing a better performance from PSG this season. PSG may not face any obstacles to win the Ligue 1 title, but this team is far behind in the Champions League.

PSG will play against Red Bull in the next match of the Champions League. PSG is currently in 25th position in the Champions League. PSG will have to play well in every next match of the Champions League. Otherwise, PSG will not be able to survive in the competition on the Champions League platform.

[GiftedMAN]

Back to the French league 1, but fortunately PSG has collected a lot of points, and is far behind the team below it. So the draw achieved in 2 consecutive matches, did not make the team get knocked out of the top of the standings.

PSG is still with their best game they avoid defeat that's why they can't be removed from the top of the standings even though they have drawn in the last two weeks, Marseille is too far away in points with PSG but at least little by little they can approach PSG even though several other clubs are shadowing Marseille such as LOSC, AS Monaco who both have 26 points, at least Marseille can get away from the two clubs if they don't want to be removed from second place in the French League standings.

Right now I don't think PSG picking 2 points in matches they are supposed to win and get 6 points with ease is a good thing for the team not minding their point difference between them and other teams in the league, PSG team is supposed to show superior power when they play against small teams but seeing how they have struggled in their last two league matches isn't a good thing for the club who is only hopeful of winning the league title this season sin e they are not sure of the champions league trophy due to their poor performance. Monaco and Marseille is the closest team to PSG and since they are 5 points ahead of them more dropping of points will see them being in a tight spot to win the league title and it will increase the confidence of other teams to keep getting better since they are seeing more opportunities to win the league title ahead of PSG.

PSG actually already has reliable players at the moment, but for some reason in yesterday's match they didn't seem to have much confidence. We can see that Bradley Barcola is currently reliable but yesterday he couldn't score even though he had a good chance.
Regarding the need for a striker, I disagree. Because PSG has relied on strikers for too long before, ending in failure in other competitions and it's better with a player formation like this so that PSG can rise with teamwork performance without relying on strikers like before.
The only hope is that the coach is able to rotate players perfectly so that they can get the best performance.

IMO, PSG really needs a center forward that they can rely on as a finisher to score goals, we can see that if Enrique often dismantles his center forwards. starting from installing Goncalo Ramos, Asensio, Kolo Muani and even Kang-in Lee, this indicates that Luis Enrique did not get the player he expected as a center forward in his squad. As for Bradley Barcola, he is actually a winger and not a number nine player. It is true that he is quite productive in terms of scoring goals, but does not answer the team's needs. The impact is, if these players experience a deadlock in scoring goals, they can rely on a pure striker if they have one, or vice versa. We can also see when PSG competed in the Champions League, they had a hard time creating opportunities to score goals even though they had many opportunities. Again, we often see Enrique trying to rotate his players, but unfortunately the results are not satisfactory. Enrique has actually built Paris Saint-Germain with his characteristic philosophical style, but it seems that he still needs some players as the team's needs. we can refer to the previous transfer market, PSG has several names that play as pure strikers. although, they failed to bring them in. in Lique 1 PSG still has a chance to defend its title, but in other competitions they have difficulty competing. it does not mean that PSG plays badly, but they still need some additional players to complement and need their team.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

It was and for me it's very good that this happened, this means that they now see PSG as a team that can be beaten, that they don't have victories all the time, they can be beaten, and I think that if they see it like that, Ligue 1 will be very good because basically things are like that, when other teams see that it is possible to win, they psychologically will do it and they will look for it, it's not difficult, it has to be done personally, I say something, when one focuses on winning one has to find a way, I think Nantes has it clear.

Drawing two games has really affected the gap the Ligue One champions have had over the second placed Olympique de Marseille. Currently the game between Marseille and St-Étienne is ongoing and the visitors are winning by one goal. They have just ended the first half and if the game finally ends this way Marseille would have successfully closed the gap between them and the league leader to five. With this we might end up having a competitive season and maybe have a new Ligue One champions.

No team is perfect, even the best team in the world can lose the match. PSG is actually not a very good team, but the quality of the French league is not very high at the moment, so most people see PSG as a very good team.
Nantes, who managed to gain points from PSG, is ahead in the current match, and maybe they will gain 3 more points. these results are very good for them

If they fail to qualify for the next round of the Champions League, it will be a very serious defeat for them indeed, and in every sense. Everyone understands that what they see from PSG inside the league cannot be transferred to other tournaments and draw analogies, because PSG often play very differently in European tournaments. And let's be honest, they don't have much chance of reaching the next round with this game, because their next opponent is Manchester City, I doubt they can beat them

I doubt if Marseille will be able to stay ahead till the end of the season. The game ended in the favor of Marseille winning by two goals, they are now away from PSG by just five points which will require they win two games and PSG loosing the two in a row aswell, this is a reality we don't believe can happen almost immediately and that was why I started by saying Marseille was not going to be able to stay ahead of PSG just like that, even to the point where they are going to seen as the winners of the league title this season.

Marseille does not need PSG to suffer consecutive defeats, but with several draws it can give Marseille a chance to shift PSG position.
We all know the reason Marseille is getting stronger, and it's all thanks to Mason Greenwood contribution which gives Marseille additional strength. He is one of the players who is often talked about right now because he is able to provide perfect results.
I admit we will say if PSG becomes the temporary title holder, but this is football that can change the team's condition in a short time. So Marseille still has great hopes for now.

[TelolettOm]

Getting 2 draws when facing a team that is below the standings is certainly a very disappointing result.

Indeed, PSG has never lost at all in Ligue 1, however, they have drawn 2 times in a row, even from the mid-tier club of Ligue 1, which statistically they should have won. It's just that some missed chances have occurred and have not been optimal. The number of points difference between PSG and Marseille and Monaco is 5, so from now on, PSG must be more careful and must be optimal for victory to be able to stay in the top standing until the end of the season.

I doubt if Marseille will be able to stay ahead till the end of the season.

It is indeed quite difficult to take position from PSG, especially since Marseille's performance is sometimes not that consistent. But what is certain is that currently, they are in their good position and performance, so at least they can gradually reduce the points difference with the top standing club, PSG. Although on the other hand, they also have to be vigilant because there is Monaco who is also on the same level as them.

[Adiljutt156]

This team seems to really need a reliable player in terms of scoring goals, because the available players are not able to answer the team's needs. PSG always plays offensively, they also always have many opportunities. Like in the match against Auxerre, besides dominating the match, PSG released a total of 24 shots. Unfortunately, none of them were converted into goals. If PSG had a qualified striker as a finisher, this team would certainly be quite scary for the opposing teams. Not only in Ligue 1, but also in the European stage. As for Marseille, they will play away tomorrow. Their opponent is not a strong team, theoretically Marseille should be able to smoothly win. While Manaco returned to winning ways after defeating Toulouse at their home ground, so currently Marseille's position has been shifted again by Monaco. Interestingly, these two teams are quite exciting to overtake each other while approaching the points owned by Paris Saint-Germains.

PSG actually already has reliable players at the moment, but for some reason in yesterday's match they didn't seem to have much confidence. We can see that Bradley Barcola is currently reliable but yesterday he couldn't score even though he had a good chance.

The only hope is that the coach is able to rotate players perfectly so that they can get the best performance.

Paris Saint-Germain's goal scorers were ineffective in the last match but they have one of the best goal scorers in the French league. They were not effective against Auxerre but that doesn't mean they won't be effective in other matches. I'm sure they won't make the same mistakes they made in this match in future matches. The manager will prepare himself for their development. He will take care of the players one-on-one and show them the tactics needed to open up more comfortable spaces in the next matches. At the end of the league, I think Paris Saint-Germain will be the champion.

Paris Saint-Germain football team could not win this match and they could not do any goal in this match and millions of people had great expectations by that team . But still the position of Paris Saint-Germain team is very strong and that team has 34 points on the table and Auxerre football team has only 20 points and that team has 8th position on the table. Monaco football team will try to overtake Paris Saint-Germain because Monaco team is 5 points behind and will try to win next matches and will try to get first position on the table.The shots of Paris Saint-Germain were more in number and that were 24 and 11 shots were on target.  The possession percentage of that team was 74 percent but that team could not win this match.

In the last few matches, PSG won negative results and made the position of the rival team team now a little closer to them, but in my opinion it is not easy for the rival team team to be able to coup PSG position at the top of the standings, maybe we will see PSG lose points due to defeat or draw, but still in my opinion marseille and other teams will find it difficult to catch up with PSG, because so far mentality and also consistency has been the weaknesses of other teams in ligue 1 to break PSG dominance, let's say PSG will get consecutive draws, but isn't there no guarantee that marseille or other teams will be able to continue to win?

I have been of similar opinion recently that I believe that closing up the gap at his time already isn't a guarantee that the direct rivals to PSG has got all it takes to give us a new set of champion this season but some persons are already hasty to concluding that PSG is going to loosing the chances at the title soon, failing to recognize that they have the most dominance and best squad with the best depth in the ligue 1 for the longest of time even now. Other teams may not be able to maintain the level of consistency and brilliance PSG must have had all this years.

PSG match schedule in December

There's no definitive answer, but Marseille is in the right momentum to match PSG points or even overtake them. Luis Enrique squad will face two tough matches in Ligue 1, against Lyon and AS Monaco. We understand that PSG will be more focused on their Champions League matches, as they aim to secure a place in the playoffs. So I think, situationally, this is the best opportunity for any Ligue 1 contender to surpass PSG, even though the chances are slim. Whatever the scenario that will happen in the future, even though PSG will continue to dominate, at least the current competition makes Ligue 1 more lively.

For this season until the fourteenth week in Ligue 1, PSG is still unbeaten by other teams because PSG has only had four draws and the rest are wins in Ligue 1. This means that any team in Ligue 1 will still find it difficult to catch up with PSG who are still sitting firmly at the top of the Ligue 1 standings at this time, especially since consecutive draws for PSG also still have an advantage of five points in the current standings. So PSG will not be under enough pressure with their condition in Ligue 1 because what PSG needs to think about now is their condition in the UCL so they can qualify for the playoffs and have a chance to be in the last 16.

Because in Ligue 1, there is no team as strong as PSG. even without star players with names as big as Messi or Mbappe, they still dominate Ligue 1. if there is a team that threatens, it must be Marseille and Monaco, but with current points difference PSG does not need to worry too much. They just need to be very serious about the Champions League. They have enough difficulty there, facing strong teams that surprised them. They still have the potential to qualify, but hopefully, they can advance to the next round.

Lille progress is very fantastic this season because since September Lille has been through an 14 matches in all competitions with unbeated status and from those matches Lille even can beat Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in Champion league and Lille also can playing draw from Juventus and in Ligue 1 Lille so far can collect 26 points and they only have 3 gap points with Marseille the team from runner up place

This weekend Lille will gets strong opponent Marseille and as we all know Marseille has just return to the winning ways and gets 3 winning streak in Ligue 1 so i am sure this match is not easy for Lille because Marseille also in the good shape and Lille actually has poor records from Marseille because since 2019 Lille was unable to win at Marseille home ground but considering the recent conditions from them is not so different i think there is possibility this match will ended to draw
