French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Weawant]

It is really happening!    PSG is about to sign Kvara officially.

This would be a mega signing for them honestly. Undoubtedly the best one in the recent years at the same time. I thought there would be other top teams also to have an intention to sign him. Like Liverpool. But maybe they didn't want him because of having Diaz. Anyways, this kind of steps should be taken by PSG to increase their chance for bigger achievements such as a Champions League trophy. Napoli did the right thing by selling him because he also didn't intend to stay longer just as Osimhen.

In as much as this sounds really good and I'm loving this for them, at same time, I'm hoping Enrique is and will be able to manage him to attaining that top notch potential that will make him useful enough to attract more trophies to PSG and maybe helping to actualize the champions league dream some day. It's a mega signing as said by many but this isn't the first mega signing PSG has had before now so what matters most to me about this is the yielding result and productivity they will be getting from this.

It's really great news but it looks a bit strange for Napoli. 
Initially I thought that Conte would keep Kvaratskhelia but it turned out that Napoli actually sold him to PSG who needed the player more and were tempted by the large amount.
The player's move to PSG will be highly anticipated news for sure. But for me Enrique must stick with his usual strategy of not relying too much on one player even though Kvaratskhelia can be very reliable but PSG needs solid teamwork.
Hopefully PSG will not end up the same as when PSG was still with several star players before.

The Brest vs Lyon match will start soon. Lyon are struggling with financial crises off the field. But they are getting good results on the field. When I look at the statistics, I see that they have 7 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat in their last 11 league matches. They lost only to Paris Saint Germain. They beat Montpellier 1-0 in their last league game. On the other hand, Brest have 3 defeats and 2 wins in their last 5 league games. In their 16 league games this season they have 6 wins, 9 defeats and 1 draw. I think this match is unlikely to end in a draw according to these statistics. I think Lyon will win this match. But I will not bet on this match.

Brest played quite well in this match, so they were able to bring home three full points from Lyon. Actually, Brest only showed a little ball possession in this match, but they were able to take advantage of every opportunity they got well. Through goals scored by Camara in the 8th minute and Ajurque's goal in the 25th minute, they were able to take the lead with a score of 2-0 over Lyon, before finally before the first half really ended, Veretout managed to score one goal against Brest, which made the first half end with a score of 2-1.

And regarding the second half, in that half there were no goals scored at all, even though Lyon had made several attacks towards Brest to be able to equalize, but the results were nil, Brest's defense was quite solid, so the score did not change at all until the referee blew the long whistle.

PSG can claim the French Ligue title much early before the season comes to an end. I doubt there is any team team that can stop them from winning the French Ligue title. Both Marseille and Monaco has been in form form this season but I don't think they can compete with PSG for the title.

That's what makes this league not so interesting because PSG can claim the title much earlier before the season ends so the league competition is not so competitive. It is difficult for any team to break PSG's dominance and that is not at all the competition that football lovers expect. To be a competitor for PSG in the fight for the title, it takes a balanced player strength and that is not possessed by Marseille or Monaco so it is difficult for both of them to compete with PSG.

You have a point, I just don't like it when there are no competitions in football leagues. This season too, we all know the winner already when we still have months to the end of the season, it shouldn't always be like that, fierce competition keenly competed is always interesting. Still, I absolve PSG from any wrongdoing but rather commend them for holding that top position for too many years while others look on. It's now a wake-up challenge to other clubs in the league, they can buy players and change coaches. PSG doesn't have two heads so they should be ready to break the jinx like what is happening in Serie A.

I'm not sure yet but maybe the solution for having more competitions in the French League is to have a more rich owner for the other teams as they have than in PSG. Since they have good a rich team in PSG they can have much better and more expensive players and coaches which makes PSG a much better team than other teams.
That's why even if PSG is not in the good for many other teams like Marseille and Monaco try hard they still can't have a fair competition with PSG.
Recently we saw rumors about Marseille and maybe the Arabs are interested in buying this team and hiring some superstar players for them but this team but until that time I don't think if we can see any competitions in the French League.

Yes, you get the point, no matter how, let them fix it, the competition there is a mess right now. You can see it even on the current table, the gaps are often too much and who knows if it will be worse in the next one month with PSG taking an insane lead as usual. But Marseille and Monaco are trying their best at the moment, hope they can maintain the feat. The solution is indeed a better investment in clubs in the league and securing good coaching management. I hope the lesser clubs can be bid by the rich Arab guys who can buy big players, that might be the beginning of the needed competition.

I don't think there's any player that would have secured them a position at playing  and winning the game today regardless of who they have at their disposal to play for them. Yesterday, Rennes played against Marseille and Marseille still won them 2-1. Although the game was against PSG but still PSG were very brilliant in the game. Psg last game was against Monaco and regardless of how PSH played Monaco's still tried their best and the game was a very interesting one. PSG are always the favourite to win in all competitions regardless of who's playing against them.

Once again, we saw that there is a really big difference between Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco. Although Monaco is one of the effective teams in the French league, Paris Saint-Germain played a completely dominant game in the match they played. I thought Monaco had a chance in the final, but when we look at the game and statistics, Paris Saint-Germain managed to take the match on its own. They also managed to win the final with the goal they scored in extra time. Now it is time for the French league match. Today they will face Saint Etienne. Of course, I think they will win the match. It is very difficult to find a team that can pass them in the French League. Also, if they transfer the Georgian player, they will become much stronger.

It is still not a transfer that has happened but I think (if it happens) it would be a wrong transfer. PSG already has Barcola and Dembele, what would they do by buying Kvara?
These are players with the same characteristics and there are already 2 players with those characteristics in the team. Kvara is a young player, if PSG wants to polish him and sell him for a higher price like Mbappe after some time, then it can happen, but Napoli would not sell such a player cheaply anyway.
Why would Napoli ruin the chemistry of the team by selling a player while they are heading towards the championship? It is not a transfer that will happen in the mid-season transfer period, I think it will happen at the end of the year.

The transfer will happen sooner or later, because from the information gathered he has already reached an agreement with PSG and his salary will be 4 or 5 times his current salary at Napoli. PSG is not a team that can polish any player, they always buy ready made players for exorbitant fees, PSG and Manchester City are the reason why transfer market of today is like this, buying players with big money. Besides PSG didn't sell Mbappe for a penny, he Mbappe was a free agent and Real Madrid got him for free.

Choosing Kvaratskhelia over Osimhen is a bad move for PSG. I don't want to say anything about his talent, but he is not a good fit for PSG. I think Osimhen would have contributed much more to PSG. Manchester United or Chelsea would have been more beneficial for Kvaratskhelia. He could have proved himself in the EPL but he chose Ligue 1, perhaps for the money. Kvaratskhelia is a footballer with great talent but I think he lacks stability and he is not mentally strong. He should definitely go to the EPL. Because he could prove himself there and eliminate the stability problem.

I don't know yet about whether they preferred Kvara over Osimhen. Who knows, maybe they are still interested in signing a striker as well and Osimhen is still their target... 

I also agree with your comment on Kvara. If I were in his place I would prioritize the Premier League. But it looks like he didn't get any offer from there. And obviously he didn't want to stay longer while having the opportunity.


Monaco are out of form recently. This was their 3rd point loss in a row and they are risking top 3 by doing this. On the other hand Marseille are doing quite good. That was a deserved win over Rennes. Rabiot - Greenwood duo did a good work.

Rabiot is top earner in the squad but he performs nicely. But Greenwood deserves special attention.    11 goals, 4 assists in the league so far, very impressive! Signing him for only 26 million euros was genius move.

It can be said that PSG is destroying the market because the costs they spend are so high that players or clubs who want to sell their players really like the offers given by PSG, I still remember how they brought in Neymar with a very large transfer fee, PSG tried very hard to be able to win the Champion by buying finished players and that's what they do in every transfer market even though they don't sell players at high prices but how can they get benefits like that and I think PSG will be investigated if it continues like that.

Now Kvaratskhelia and PSG have had talks and it seems that the salary given by PSG is not playing around PSG gave an offer of x4/5 for him, this looks very enthusiastic from PSG in getting him, and it seems that Napoli also asked for 80 million for the player and I think PSG will be ready to pay it, and it seems that this will be PSG's first recruit in the opening of this transfer.

That is a very natural thing and I think it is not a complicated problem as long as teams like PSG and Manchester City can afford it, because a team must have a higher financial level in order to recruit ready-to-use players and can improve the quality of their game in every match. And for now PSG does need to target players with that model because PSG still often fails when competing in the UCL so it is quite natural for PSG to buy players who no longer need to be polished perfectly for such a long time.

Kvara could be a complement to PSG's strength because even though they already have Barcola and Dembele, PSG needs one more player, this aims to ensure that the players continue to show their consistency and usually when a club has competition it will improve the individual quality of the players. Luis Enrique also has many options when he wants to rotate and they have the opportunity to compete in several competitions that they participate in with different strategies.

In addition, they need to improve the midfield so that PSG can try to dominate when playing because what makes PSG difficult is not talking about Ligue 1 but the competition in the Champions League. Likewise, Napoli and they sold Kvara because they had other players in that position so the coach tried to optimize the efficiency of the players.

Because he could prove himself there and eliminate the stability problem.

In as much as I know that Victor Osimhen is currently one of the best strikers in the world at the moment, I disagree with your objection that Paris Saint Germaine's decision to try sign Napoli attacker Kvaratskhelia ahead of him was or would be a bad move for the French champions. Recently, there was a report that revealed that Paris Saint Germaine during the last summer transfer window made a huge offer to sign both Victor Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia on a permanent deal but was rejected by the management of Napoli so if the French champions now decides to go for Kvaratskhelia alone, I think there are factors that must have influenced such decision.

When it comes to transfer of players, there some parts of the deals they usually hide from the media and until they're disclosed, you wouldn't know the main reason behind some of the decisions. Kvaratskhelia is an incredible attacker and would make a good signing for Paris Saint Germaine if you ask me

Fifa should have taken action on this issue long ago, but right now the Arabs are dominant in the football market. They have money.
As far as I know, PSG belongs to the Qataris. Think about it, for the first time in history the World Cup was played in the winter season instead of the summer season, and many European leagues have adapted to this situation.
Because they paid serious money and earned the right to organize the World Cup.
City, PSG, these teams are run by Arab capital. They give and receive money for the players they want. There is a lot of money.
There used to be something called financial fair play, but it is not on the agenda now.
PSG is not successful either (except for the league championship). They would not have found so much money without the Qataris.
I think Fifa should investigate and examine this situation, but I don't think it will happen.

And for now PSG does need to target players with that model because PSG still often fails when competing in the UCL so it is quite natural for PSG to buy players who no longer need to be polished perfectly for such a long time.

For finance, Paris Saint Germain will not have a problem, and actually we already know that when they have 3 star players, Messi, Mbappe and Neymar which makes them have to spend a lot of money, but that is also not a problem for them. Well now I think it's just a matter of time in the negotiation process, because it doesn't mean that with Paris Saint Geramain's "unlimited" finances it doesn't mean they will recruit players without thinking about anything. I mean they will also definitely consider it and that will also be one of the things in the negotiation process.

[dezoel]

But to say that Messi did not contribute anything in my opinion is also too much, because he can also contribute, it's just that maybe he did not contribute as expected, that's all. He had a hard time after leaving Barcelona, ​​and indeed it was the first time he had a new team after years of being in the Barcelona squad. And if we look at it, his departure was not entirely his wish, but Barcelona was in a bad situation so they were forced to sell Messi. So maybe one of the reasons why it took him so long to adapt to Paris Saint Germain's game, because his heart was still left in his previous team.

I agree with you, Messi has contributed with Goals and Assists to lead PSG to win the title in the domestic competition, but he was unable to carry PSG to win the UCL trophy because they are still unable to compete with other top clubs. At that time, PSG front line was filled with the world's best players, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, while in other positions PSG also had classy players, so all players had the same responsibility. Psychological problems can affect his performance, but as a professional player he has done his best for the team he plays for.

Messi was good in PSG, but he joins this club just because of having huge amount after having good share he leaves and gone for another adventure as his role has never been for having any big impact on this club domestic cups they still can win without any big name into their ranks.

PSG management is having dream of winning Champions League which shattered by many times now they are doing nothing for this just allowing coach to keep things on good level and bring stable PSG in this league with having good chance in Champions League into future while bringing few good names are good, but first they needed to have good depth in players performance.

Bringing Victor Osimhen or Kvaratskhelia will be helpful if they are able to have strong strategy which give all players good chance of giving their best never live under shadow of star players.

[Palakka]

And for now PSG does need to target players with that model because PSG still often fails when competing in the UCL so it is quite natural for PSG to buy players who no longer need to be polished perfectly for such a long time.

In this case PSG seems to be in good financial condition, so they will not be in trouble when bringing in another star player with high prices and salaries at this time, so far we know that their habit of bringing in star players will have an instant impact on their performance but will it improve their mentality in the UCL, of course we don't know yet?
From what was reported by Fabrizio Romano about Kvaratskhelia's transfer, it is clearly 99.99% likely to happen and we just need to wait for PSG to introduce it to the public, honestly at this time I see that bringing in Kvaratskhelia is a smart transfer strategy before they will also recruit osimhen later, because previously in the summer, PSG had wanted to buy osimhen and Kvaratskhelia as a package but was rejected by Napoli.

[rahmad2nd]

The score at half time was 1-1, but I am still quite confident that Marseille will win this away game. Because at least, Marseille is the team that has the best results for away games so far this season in Ligue 1 and thus, maybe in the second half Marseille will succeed in scoring their second goal. Although it may only be a narrow win, but it is still an important result  for Marseille to strengthen its position in second place in the standings. Although indeed, basically Rennes is also not a weak team but, considering that at this moment Rennes is only in the middle zone of the standings, with a trend that is not good enough like that it will give Marseille a good chance to beat Rennes in this match.

Marseille successfully won full points at Roazhon Park, Rennes' home base. Although they were left behind in the 43rd minute, this did not destroy the mentality of De Zerbi's team. After Rennes' lead, only two minutes later Mason Greenwood was able to equalize. As you said, in the second half Marseille reversed their advantage from a goal scored by Rabiot through Greenwood's assist. After that, no more goals were scored by either team, resulting in Marseille winning with a score of 2-1. With this, Marseille maintains the distance in points from AS Manaco, while Rennes is in an unsafe zone. Well, now Marseille is only four points behind Paris Saint-Germain, but PSG has the opportunity to widen the points from the team below it by winning the match against Saint-Etienne. By the way, if Marseille had a much more established striker, I'm sure Roberto De Zerbi's team would be much more productive in terms of scoring goals. because, Neal Maupay and Elye Wahi seem to not always be able to play consistently throughout the match. Well, De Zerbi should target a well-established player who wears the number nine. If they can get him, I'm pretty sure Marseille will be much more competitive.

[SmartCharpa]

Brest played quite well in this match, so they were able to bring home three full points from Lyon. Actually, Brest only showed a little ball possession in this match, but they were able to take advantage of every opportunity they got well. Through goals scored by Camara in the 8th minute and Ajurque's goal in the 25th minute, they were able to take the lead with a score of 2-0 over Lyon, before finally before the first half really ended, Veretout managed to score one goal against Brest, which made the first half end with a score of 2-1.

And regarding the second half, in that half there were no goals scored at all, even though Lyon had made several attacks towards Brest to be able to equalize, but the results were nil, Brest's defense was quite solid, so the score did not change at all until the referee blew the long whistle.

Brest played a great game to defeat Lyon at home, despite the fact that Brest was hosting the match, I did not expect the result to be as it was. Brest was more than last season, finishing in the top four, but their performance fell as the season began. On the other hand, I don't expect Lyon to lose if they don't win because they appear to be better than Brest this season, sitting sixth in the league table. Brest took on their home advantage by scoring two goals in the first half, securing all three points.

However, Lyon has only lost to PSG in the past seven league games, so it was a surprise that they lost to Brest, who has only won three of their last seven league games. The three points were important for Brest to maintain their league position as they're struggling to avoid the relegation zone. But I still won my betting; I played BTTS, and the match ended with a 2:1 victory for the home team.

Well, De Zerbi should target a well-established player who wears the number nine. If they can get him, I'm pretty sure Marseille will be much more competitive.

By the end of the first half, both teams have completely lost their consistency, as is clear from Marseille's reply goal just two minutes after Rennes took the lead. This moment offers palpable evidence of just how quickly changes can impact the dynamics of a match when attention wavers.

It was at this point that things took a turn for the worse. Rennes were caught napping yet again at the onset of the second half and conceded a goal. Rabiot scored from a Greenwood assist. That goal proved to be the difference in a game that ended 2-1 in favor of Marseille when the final whistle was blown.

This situation makes things even harder for Rennes, as they're currently in an unsafe zone. In the meantime, Marseille did take their chances to keep the competition up at the top of the standings. And I agree with you, even though in this match Marseille was able to return to winning ways, but to be able to compete at the top of the standings they still need new ammunition to be able to sharpen their attack line.

[hahay]

^ With the draw that Monaco got and Marseille's victory against Rennes which was not easy at all, there is currently a 5-point gap between Marseille and Monaco. Of course, these results make Marseille at least in a position that is safe enough to stay in second place. Although Marseille managed to maintain its consistency, there was still no chance for Marseille to compete for the trophy with PSG.

Because of course, PSG will also get better results, because in a few minutes or a few hours PSG will play at home against St Etienne who are currently in the relegation zone and St Etienne are also a promotion team this season. Thus, it will be certain that PSG will also succeed  in getting three points in this match, and maybe PSG will also win with a big score, at least three goals are good enough.
