French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Mame89]

I was weak when I saw the photo of Gianluigi Donnarumma, the PSG goalkeeper who was hurt in the first half of the game. The injury was bad, and Wilfried Singo committed a terrible foul, I expected the referee to hand him a red card after the incident because he was already on a yellow card. Despite the goalkeeper's injury, PSG performance remained unchanged, they fought hard to win the game. PSG won a difficult game because Monaco has improved with their games this season, and PSG play seems to be unpredictable.

True. This is a very serious violation, I also take what happened to Donnarumma very seriously without immediately giving a red card. Maybe for the referee it was unintentional but crazy and fortunately it didn't hit his eye, hopefully Gianluigi Donnarumma recovers quickly and can be included in the squad again. If I were to judge personally, I would even say that the Monaco player should have been banned from playing because of his bad tackle on Donnarumma. Luckily PSG managed to win this match even though it was not easy, a victory that PSG had to pay dearly for because of Gianluigi Donnarumma's injury.

Furthermore, you made a good prediction because it will be very difficult to select PSG as the favorite to win against any opponent at this point. Based on their performance against St-Étienne and Nantes in the previous games and the fact that the match is expected to be difficult for PSG, I predicted that the BTTS, while the match ends with a score of 2:4 in favor of PSG to increase their lead over Monaco and Marseille by 10 points.

This victory makes PSG continue to be solid at the top of the standings, the points difference between second and first place is quite far. This makes PSG comfortable at the top, most likely PSG will easily win the trophy this season because until now PSG still maintains an unbeaten record, and of course they have a great chance to maintain this record until the end of the season. Enrique's next step is to focus on the UCL League, because their current position is very difficult, plus in the remaining matches they will face Man City.

Donnarumma horror injury after receiving a hard kick to the face from Wilfried Singo forced him to leave the field in the 22nd minute. The referee checked the incident via VAR, Wilfried Singo avoided a red card because according to François Letexier who led the match, the incident occurred spontaneously without any element of intent.
In my opinion, regardless of whether the incident was intentional or not, in FIFA regulations, regardless of the intention, such a serious violation must be punished with a red card because it has endangered the player who was fouled.

Here it seems risky to bet on a side to me. Instead taking a bigger risk like BTTS & Over 2.5 goals @1.76 seems better.    I know that draw I mentioned was a 0-0 one but I want to act according to my feelings.

I'm so glad to pick this betting option for the Monaco - PSG game.    It was too easy you know and I really loved to watch this game. 2 comebacks but PSG were the team that left the pitch happily with a big 4-2 win in such a tough matchup. I'm saying it was tough despite the score. Because Monaco didn't play bad. Especially in the second half they showed a great effort.

There were some good chances wasted to keep up with PSG. And I think there was a debatable potential penalty incident too. I don't think it wasn't a penalty honestly. It could have changed things for Monaco maybe.

Lastly I was nearly forgetting about one thing. What was that challenge by Singo?    It was too dangerous against Donnarumma but he didn't get even a yellow. It doesn't make sense that it was just because of not being intentional. There must be a limit with that.

PSG's victory over Monaco had to be paid dearly with an incident that happened to Gianluigi Donnarumma, even because of that incident Donnarumma had to get 10 stitches on his face, it was quite terrible even though if you look at the replay briefly, the Monaco player did not have any intention to injure Gianluigi Donnarumma.
This is an incident in football and I will not corner the Monaco player even though he was guilty, but that's football where there is a lot of physical contact.

Physical contact that results in injuries like that does not often happen in football even though a game that faces each other on a large field like football certainly has the possibility of physical contact in every match. However, if you see physical contact that can injure one of the players with ten stitches like that, it must certainly be considered an unintentional incident. Because if something like that is intentional, of course the sanctions will be very severe for one of the players, but I hope something like that will not happen again to other teams in any match.

This can't go unpunished, I understand that this is a game and sometimes emotions can take over, but in this situation there is no excuse, Shingo in any case should have avoided such a hard contact with Donnaruma, especially in this situation it is very clear how he went with his spikes into the goalkeeper's face. Even if it was unintentional (I want to believe that it was), then Shingo should be punished for this, this collision will leave a scar on Donnaruma's face for life.

PSG is still one of the best team in French Ligue and their quality and performance is having good edge from other clubs having win with the score of 2–4 against team like Monaco give them good chance of keeping themselves at the top of league table for long time because now their lead of points is almost 10 points, and they can go through for long time without any serious trouble now it's good time for them to prepare themselves for Champions League where they have fair chance of having early elimination from event due to the worst ever performance.

In second half, we see good resistance from the Monaco, but things were not favourable for them against the quality of the PSG they keep things on tougher level for having win and three important points from this game injuries are part of game, and we need to understand few things about these because if player is not going intentionally then why we have punishment, this is not acceptable.

PSG is still the biggest team in French football as they showed their class in last night came against Monaco wining 2:4 away from home this kind of result was not expected as Monaco is one of the teams that are pursuing PSG in at the top of the table, The only problem I have with PSG is their inconsistent nature going into the champions league as they don't do very well in the champions league PSG have to do better in the champions league as they are currently struggling at the champions league table struggling to even make the playoffs place

PSG erratic performance in the Champions League is nothing new, Enrique squad seems unable to do a lot in front of other elite clubs, especially after they lost Mbappe this season. Monaco is even better at the moment in the Champions League, they managed to show a different performance, although in Ligue 1 they had to admit PSG greatness. Many hope that Monaco and Marseille will be able to suppress PSG at the top of the standings, but in fact, they have not been able to do so.

Meanwhile, PSG efforts to penetrate the Champions League play-off zone will face quite a tough challenge, because PSG must face Man City in the next match. Although Pep Guardiola's squad is currently going through a bad period, I think Enrique must work extra hard to secure full points. PSG journey in the Champions League this time feels very steep, if they fail to reach the last 16 Enrique could be fired.

Yes I agree with you. If the referee had given a penalty I think it would have changed the game. Monaco would have probably tried to play more defensively and try to get a draw. What Singo did was very dangerous and risked injuring an opponent. The kick was absolutely horrible and it hit Donnarumma in the head which caused him to need 10 stitches and medical treatment. The clash could have ended Donnarumma's career. In my personal opinion I think it was not intentional. I think such an action could have been given a yellow card or even a red card because it could have caused serious injury. But I think the referee knew better what to do. To this day some people are still talking about the Donnarumma incident and the penalty that Monaco should have had at the end of the second half.

[Awaklara]

As usual what we saw in the previous ligue 1, this season PSG also starting to leave other teams with a considerable difference in points, although at the beginning of the season Marseille and Monaco showed a pretty good performance, but as the league progressed, they began to slump and away from the competition for the championship trophy with PSG this season, I personally also hope that Marseille and Monaco can continue to be consistent this season so that it will make the competition in the league more interesting and competitive, but unfortunately they don't have a strong mentality to become title contenders.

Marseille and Monaco are both 10 points behind PSG. This could really close the possibility of competition. Last season PSG also finished the season with very good dominance. I actually hoped this season would be quite interesting when I saw Monaco and Marseille playing quite well, but it seems like this season will still belong to PSG. Everyone must realize that PSG's dominance has not been broken in Ligue 1.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think Enrique is the key for PSG and he is the coach who knows how to feel the place of the players like Mbappe in PSG after they leave.

It may be like that, because Mbappé already had an idea about him, in fact Luis Enrique did not play him much, he was not his first option to play, he did that on purpose to delay his departure to Madrid, we all know the huge pique there is between Luis Enrique and Madrid, it is something that Luis Enrique will never get over, he has too much of a grudge against him , it is Something that is difficult to handle, that is why with a team like PSG, that do not have the best relationship with Madrid, the sheikh gave him absolute power to do his management, whether it is for the best or not , Mbappé is good, if he was at PSG he would probably be more comfortable.

[len01]

I saw a picture of PSG's goal keepers face after the game and I was not happy the player who did that to him wasn't carded, I couldn't get post the  picture here for some reason, as some persons may not be able to tolerate the sight of such, but I feel sad about it, Monaco players are known for their brutal approach to games at times and its really bad, when they met Barcelona some time ago, the erratic and brutal nature of their play was just so obvious and similar case was seen in thia game against PSG a d even with all of that they lost. Literally PSGs keeper had some obvious scratches on his face resulting from the boot that got to his face from the Monaco player.

PSG's victory over Monaco had to be paid dearly with an incident that happened to Gianluigi Donnarumma, even because of that incident Donnarumma had to get 10 stitches on his face, it was quite terrible even though if you look at the replay briefly, the Monaco player did not have any intention to injure Gianluigi Donnarumma.
This is an incident in football and I will not corner the Monaco player even though he was guilty, but that's football where there is a lot of physical contact.

I agree with @Weawant. Even though it was unintentional, the player should have been given a card. Such things often happen in football, but as a professional player, you should know how to control the ball without risking other players. When he knew that the PSG goalkeeper was approaching him, he should have at least taken a wise step. However, the Monaco player seemed very ambitious. So when the PSG goalkeeper wanted to block the Monaco player, he didn't care about what happened. Although happy to see PSG victory, it was a little sad to see the slightly horrific facial injury.

At the beginning of the season, Monaco and Marseille have shown a very good performance in each of their matches, but as I said, it is precisely their mentality and consistency in competing to be title contenders that is very low, making it difficult for them to try to break PSG dominance this season, a difference of 10 points already when the season is still halfway has shown how tough PSG currently has in Ligue 1, Yesterday's victory over Monaco showed how other teams are very difficult to give PSG a defeat when playing in the domestic league so far,  so with a 10-point advantage, I think PSG will most likely be able to win the league again by leaving other teams a considerable difference in points and maybe even when the league is not over they will celebrate the championship.

PSG is still in a perfect form but they need to improve their defense because they are conceding so much goals in their matches and doesn't keep much clean sheets. If not that PSG have a very concrete attack, it wouldn't have been easy for them but since their strikers are active in the Frontline, the flops of the defense isn't too visible because they still end up winning at last. Actually they are conveniently topping the table with 10 points pending when Marseille will play their outstanding game which if they win, the gap will just be about 7 points but that not withstanding, PSG stands a better chance to maintain form till the season ends. I don't think that focusing too much on the Champions League is a good idea for PSG because it might distract them from the domestic league and they start losing matches. If they find it difficult to continue in the champions league they can just give it up and try again next season instead of trying to make a difference and end up losing both the Champions League and the France ligue 1 trophy.

This is the particular aspect of the league that I don't like about the French Ligue 1, None of these teams ,Monaco, Marseille and rest really wants to break this decades of PSG dominance in the French Ligue, very bad. Even when PSG is not in their best form where we expect another to become champions,  PSG will still find their way through to lifting the trophy. I wonder when things will take a new shape as regards to we starting to see another team prop up and challenge PSG dominance that we won't have them become champions all the time.

Monaco vs PSG
Two of the toughest teams in Ligue 1 face each other. Monaco have won only once in their last five matches, showing great weaknesses especially in defense and suffering clear defeats in the Champions League. However, Monaco is a team that manages to give their opponents a hard time in almost every match. PSG, on the other hand, have been more balanced and effective in attack. PSG's attacking line has the potential to turn Monaco's defensive problems into opportunities. Despite Monaco's home field advantage, their defensive discipline is lacking in such matches. PSG will control the game by dominating possession and will try to break Monaco's resistance with an early goal. Monaco, despite their lack of confidence, have the chance to score with their talented attacking players but will be helpless against PSG's strong squad.

Yesterday we saw match between Paris Saint-Germain football team and Monaco football team. Paris Saint-Germain football team gave excellent effort in this match and the result of this match is in front of us and Paris Saint-Germain team won the match one sided. Dembélé did 2 goals in this match and that was excellent performance in this match because he played crutial role in this match and opponent team did only goals in this match which was Monaco. Monaco players could not do more goals as comparison to Paris Saint-Germain players and that is big reason of their lose in this match. Ben Seghir did second goal of the match and made match interesting because after his goal score of both teams was equal and after Embolo did next goal and at that moment match was in the side of Monaco but after Ramos and Dembélé changed the side of match by doing back to back goals in this match.

The truth is that Monaco always has chances of defeating PSG, especially when playing in their home game. Today, Monaco is the team hosting the game. However, I can't say they are in great form to be able to defeat PSG. Monaco's form has dropped recently, and that is why I would say PSG is the favorite team to win this game. Still, it is not going to be an easy win for PSG.let's see what will happen, as even PSG has experienced a draw in the past before they managed to secure a win against Lyon. What I’m saying is that even if Monaco wins the game, I will not be surprised, as they do have the chance of achieving that.

And the result is Paris Saint-Germain won this match, just imagine if Enrique did not try to tinker with his players, maybe PSG's game would be much more focused. I don't mean that PSG is not focused, but look at Enrique playing his forward again with another name. even so, PSG still won this match. I also don't forget to say that maybe Manaco can provide fierce resistance, and yes, they did it by being able to score 2 goals. unfortunately, Manaco conceded 4 goals. as a result, PSG is increasingly maintaining the distance in points from the team below it. I think Enrique could have set his center forward, but he always rotates and tries several players. if Enrique really only wants to win, he can put his starting eleven without rotating or dismantling several of his players. but my assumption is that if Enrique wins he wants something, and so far it seems he hasn't found it. even so, PSG managed to get full points at Manaco's home.

A tight match with high tension, both teams seemed reluctant to share points, but Monaco's strength was not enough, they had to admit defeat and let PSG take home 3 points, but unfortunately in this match an unexpected incident happened, Donnarumma had a bad day, I think his recovery will take quite a long time, I think the Monaco player who injured Donnarumma should be warned, it was too brutal.

Another thing is that PSG is too strong until now I have not seen other strong competitors who can beat them, Monaco, Marseille who are quite consistent in competing still can't beat them. PSG are now 10 points ahead of the team below them, they are comfortable at the top of the standings.

[dezoel]

I feel like it's a disgrace that Donnaruma got that kind of stiches and there was absolutely no card in that position. I mean I get that it wasn't done purposefully, not like he wanted to do it, in fact it's clear that he wanted to take the ball up, and failed and that's why that happened, but just because it wasn't on purpose, doesn't mean it is not a card, dude literally had to get stiches, what else does it need to be before you red card someone?

I would say that is the clearest red card I have ever seen in my life, as dangerous as it gets, a few inches right and we are talking about literally blind from one eye, and yet there was NO card, I mean we are not even talking about yellow card or red card, we are talking about something that is wildly easy red card, getting ZERO cards in that position. We need to improve on this referee situation, could be AI, could be something else, I am sick and tired of all the human referees all around the world making silly mistakes like these.

[irhact]

It may be like that, because Mbappé already had an idea about him, in fact Luis Enrique did not play him much, he was not his first option to play, he did that on purpose to delay his departure to Madrid, we all know the huge pique there is between Luis Enrique and Madrid, it is something that Luis Enrique will never get over, he has too much of a grudge against him , it is Something that is difficult to handle, that is why with a team like PSG, that do not have the best relationship with Madrid, the sheikh gave him absolute power to do his management, whether it is for the best or not , Mbappé is good, if he was at PSG he would probably be more comfortable.

Comfortability in life isn't healthy for a player that's yet to achieve the best of being a player. Mbappe is no where near the best players in the world and if he had chosen comfortability, we'll not be discussing him by now as he wasn't making any progress at PSG. He just barely joined Real Madrid and he has already being winning many trophies. His performance at the club is getting backlash as people expected too much from him but people forget that some of the great players didn't find their feet after they left their previous club. Eden Hazard became a flop after he left Chelsea. ,Naymer too after he left Barcelona therefore Mbappe is doing well for himself.
