French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[ShowOff]

...

Growing young players in a club is usually determined by the philosophy of the club owners. Some clubs don't want to spend too much on big players. Thus, they prefer to have an effective academy with experienced scouts who travel around the world to discover young talents. But it seems PS's philosophy is to get already made players with the intention of using them to win the UEFA champions league. That was why they got Mbappe , Di Maria, Messi and others. This strategy worked for them because they had the financial base to buy some of the most expensive players. But it seems that the club is gradually changing that view because apart from the signing of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia the club has been more frugal spending.

The big investment that PSG has made by bringing in Messi, Mbappe, Di Maria and others was not in vain, at that time PSG was indeed a really rich team and was able to manage all club expenses well, there were even many rich sponsors who joined them, but PSG must follow market developments, especially teams in other leagues starting to look at young players rather than old star players, of course their reason for long-term investment.

Apart from that, PSG's performance in the UCL is quite good, I am sure they will be able to be in the last big 16' because Dembele and Kvarat are showing good performances.

This season PSG tried to start in a different way, they saved a little in the transfer market, although financially they are still very capable of recruiting star players and rebuilding a luxurious squad. The efforts that PSG have made so far to become an elite team in Europe are actually not in vain, even though they have not managed to win the Champions League trophy. PSG became more famous in a short time and made Ligue 1 attractive, an achievement that I think is rarely highlighted by many people.

PSG journey this season is still not satisfactory, especially in the League Phase. But with the signing of Kvaratskhelia, there is hope that they can appear more promising in the knockout round. Brest is no longer a big problem in the play-off round, PSG has a goal margin advantage that is difficult to catch up with in the second round later.

Speaking of the match against Toulouse later, it looks like the Ligue 1 King will still be unbeaten and will continue their dominance this season.

talking about the Toulouse vs PSG match, as we know, PSG is far superior and has a high probability of winning the match. no matter they will play against Brest in the Champions League playoffs, they are in a safe position and Brest is not a team that will be able to turn things around in the second leg. I think PSG will maintain their unbeaten record, so it is likely that they will not hesitate to defeat Toulouse. even though Enrique rotates his players, PSG is still a strong team in the French League.

Well, I'm in the circle with your opinions. If everyone sees my post, 99% will probably have the same answer. PSG are unbeatable, when they really get serious in racing, they will get it (except UCL) . To see it closer, I just checked the odds on Rollbit, in this match for 1X2 betting, Touluse has @6,00 while PSG only has @1,48. So, there is no doubt that PSG will win this match and bring full points from their away match.

Even without looking at the odds, to take a side , you also have to consider the performances of PSG over their past five games in their domestic league and across all other competitions, and the question is, has it dropped? Furthermore, taking a clear view of their H2H meetings with Toulouse and their current position in the French Ligue 1 which Toulouse currently occupied the 10th position, whereas PSG still sits in the first position with 10 points clear ahead of Marseille.

PSG always makes the best effort in every season not only this season and regarding the trophies they get in domestic competitions there is no doubt because PSG is the strongest club in League 1 but PSG's main target is to win the UCL title and that is not easy for them especially in the midst of the tight competition this season I am not sure PSG can go further I also don't see PSG so promising even in this play-off round it is very natural if PSG can beat Brest because Brest is a club in the same division as them in League 1 so PSG are used to facing this club.

I have no struggles within my mind accepting that the second leg  between PSG Vs Brest is a walk in the park for the French giant because all stats between the two sides establishes overall favour for PSG winning this game anywhere. I think PSG were just lucky to have Brest a French domestic domestic  league side paired with them. All they needed to do was to replicate the dominance they have in the French Ligue1 on Brest in the UCL first leg and it's going to be a similar result in the second for PSG. Congratulations to them in advance into the R16.

Having a big difference in strength between the two, PSG are still the favorites to bet on so I don't think there are many opportunities that Toulouse can take advantage of in this match. To make it easier, we can see some of the previous matches for both teams and I think in this case PSG are also quite superior in many ways so the choice is still to choose PSG if you want to bet.

Toulouse have not been able to win a single match in their last five matches so facing PSG will be much more difficult. I don't even think Toulouse has a chance to get a draw in this match because statistically PSG is far superior.

From any point of view, Paris Saint Germain is indeed stronger than Brest who are their opponents in the Champions League play-off, so I have no doubt that they can win and qualify very easily there.
The last 2 meetings including the first leg in the Champions League, Brest always lost and not only lost in terms of goals, they also lost in terms of match statistics, so with that, anyone would definitely say the same thing.
Maybe everything will change if they are very unlucky, but we can't have that luck come to Brest, because luck can also be obtained if they play very well too.

Pay attention to the odds on the 3 favorite teams Marseille, Monaco and PSG. We can be sure that Marseille will win to get 3 points. Meanwhile, Monaco still has hope because playing at home, they get the advantage of confidence and great enthusiasm. While PSG as the away team has almost the same odds as Monaco. While in H2H, Toulouse once held a draw when playing at home against PSG. On the one hand, from the previous 5 matches, Toulouse was able to get 3 draws.

In conclusion, Monaco and Marseille are good enough to bet on the team's victory to be included in the parlay bet slip. But for PSG it would be better to use another option if you want to add it to the parlay bet. BTTS for the PSG match is an option that can be considered.

From the previous seasons, this season for me is PSG's best season without star players under Luis Enrique. Although Enrique always tries to rotate and experiment especially his midfield players, they are able to be consistent in Lique 1. Even now they are very close to the French League title, and maybe they will be more focused on being undefeated until the last match in the Lique 1 competition. Speaking of the Champions League, PSG is still struggling to compete tightly as a challenger. We even saw them stumbling in the group stage, but what is certain is that they did not give up to keep trying. IMO, I am sure Enrique knows very well that it is difficult for him to win the Champions League trophy, he still needs some players for the depth of his team. PSG does not have a pure striker that can be relied on, as we know Enrique always dismantles his front attackers. Lately Dembele has been placed a little better as a center forward. The results are quite good, although we do not know yet how consistent he is, especially in the Champions League. besides, I am pretty sure that Enrique knows it will be hard to go as far as possible in the Champions League, but they certainly will not stop and give up. next season PSG could be much more prepared, more competitive and become a strong contender in the Champions League. of course, Enrique will bring in some players who are needed in his squad.

At the beginning of season i expect other teams can being an strong contender for PSG especially after Mbappe leave i thought PSG will become weaker but clearly i was wrong about that because there is no difference with Mbappe or without Mbappe PSG is still strong they even the only team who still unbeated in Ligue 1 so this league isn't too interesting anymore because the domination of PSG

About new attacker currently PSG has Kvaratskhelia which he was transfered with expensive price from Napoli and since he arrive to PSG Kvaratskhelia can give positive impact to PSG performance which we can see him can adapt quickly with Luis Enrique strategy and i know it's too early but i started to thinking probably Kvaratskhelia can being an new star player as the replacement of Mbappe who leave to Real Madrid

PSG can conquer Ligue 1 without any problem but i want to see their journey in champion league because this is one of the main target which the owner given to Luis Enrique and for playoff stage PSG has weak opponent Brest and first leg is run well for PSG because they can won 3-0 and i think one place on round of 16 will belong to them

Kvaratskhelia is a winger, he was brought in to add depth to the Paris Saint-Germain squad. but not as a center forward, that currently PSG needs a number nine player. as for Goncalo Ramos, he is not so reliable. so the presence of Kvaratskhelia is to add sharpness to PSG's attack line, plus they have a backup player in the wing position. besides that PSG has Barcola, another young player is Desire Doue. if PSG has a center forward, then Dembele will return to his original position. currently Enrique has enough competitive players, they have good wings, as well as midfielders. however, it is likely that PSG will target a midfielder next season. it could be that PSG will also target a center forward who fits Luis Enrique's criteria. at least, if they have it, it can be rotated or alternated with Dembele, that is if Dembele is consistent. the tactics and systems implemented by Enrique for me are going according to what he expected, the PSG players play dynamically. unfortunately, he is still not satisfied because he does not have a pure striker. So, for now, the hope is on Dembele. In the Champions League play-off, Luis Enrique's team is relatively safe, their opponent is Brest, especially since Brest lost with a landslide score in the first leg. So, PSG's probability of qualifying in this phase is very high.

Marseille, although it's difficult, are still in the hunt for the top spot and generally perform well at home. St Etienne, on the other hand, have been struggling to score due to their finishing problems, even though they have looked like scoring in some parts of the matches. They also struggle on the road and have lost 9 of their 11 away games this season and have only managed 2 draws. St Etienne, although mentally troubled, can be motivated by the small points difference with their rivals. However, in the last meetings between the two teams, Marseille's superiority is evident. I think Marseille will have a comfortable win at home.

If we are still at the beginning of the season of course I would also say if Marseille is one of the title contenders with PSG,  but in fact we are currently in the middle of the season with their position which 10 points behind PSG, so I don't know from which point of view you say if they can still have a chance to be in the top position after the dominance shown by PSG so far in ligue 1 .

If we talk about the match between Marseille vs St Etienne, indeed in terms of quality and position, Marseille is much better than St Etienne, but we must also not forget that Marseille's game is often inconsistent this season and they also often get defeats from weaker teams in the league.

PSG are one of the few big sides that are very favoured in this playoff stage unlike Real Madrid and Manchester city that were matched, PSG got lucky to be matched with a weak Breast a weak side for them. I am already seeing PSG in the R16 and so I expect that they will meet a strong side there when they get to that stage as the competition will be taking another dimension. So PSG should be well prepared because a lot fans like myself do want to see them win the UCL this season.

Matthis Abline managed to make a goal for Nantes in the 4th minute but unfortunately, Nantes defender Nicolas Cozza got a red card in the 8th minute. Thus, it might be a difficult task for Nantes to be able to maintain a goal advantage like this, if Monaco continues to make attacks and pressure, then it is very likely that Monaco managed to make a goal. But yes, maybe Nantes is still able to get 1 point with a draw, but if Nantes manages to maintain this 0-1 score advantage, of course it will be better and impressive to beat Monaco with only 10 players at Stade Louis II.

Monaco ended the match again before the break and I think in the second half there will be no choice for Nantes but to defend and defend because Monaco is quite good at scoring goals at home especially Nantes who played with 10 players a big advantage for Monaco in scoring a big win like Marseille did who silenced their opponent with a score of 5-1, I think this match will last a long time for Nantes and seeing Biereth will be very happy if he manages to make a brace or hat trick this victory is also very important for Monaco to restore their mentality for the Champion because they will visit in the 2nd round, I think Monaco will win big because in one more round they will maximize goals and goals.

What a messy clash. If not for the early goal by M. Abline this would have ended in a clean sheet. N. Cozza 8' red card weakened their defense and Monaco took advantage of. With 6 goals down the line Nantes will be hopeful the match comes to an end soon enough so the save themselves from further embarrassment.

Monaco took their attack to another level knowing fully well Nantes defense will weaken because they will want to force some attacks to see if they can score a few goals so they can add them to their goal difference for the season even if they end up losing the game but it turned out Monaco had a better use of the situation.

There were many PSG fans who had to bury their dreams in the knockout rounds because PSG did not manage to win the match as expected. PSG might be able to qualify easily for the round of 16, but tough opponents will be waiting for them there and they are also ready to fight for tickets to the next round.

If you are a PSG fan, then I am sure you are already aware that PSG does not have a high probability of qualifying for the final. PSG is not as good as the other favorite teams in the Champions League, so I don't think they will make it to the final this season.

As long as this league is not as competitive as other leagues, it is clear that PSG will always dominate every season. They have everything to maintain it, and we will be bored because no other top team can break their dominance.
Maybe league 1 needs a coach like xabi alonso who can lift an ordinary team into a monster.

Regarding betting, I have avoided them several times when it comes to the UCL competition, they cannot be relied on there, on the other hand in league 1 we don't need to hesitate because the final result is clear.

If the game had ended in the 7th minute, we could have said that Nantes were excellent, but when the left-back was sent off in the 8th minute with a red card, they couldn't last long as they were short-handed. In the 44th minute, Bieveth opened the curtain. Minamino put Monaco ahead before the end of the first half. In the second half, Monaco were on a scoring spree. Bieveth made a hat-trick. Monaco won by scoring 7 goals even though they had rotation in their squad. It was an embarrassing result for Nantes. It's hard to play 1 man down, but you have to defend accordingly to avoid conceding 7 goals. Nantes couldn't do anything today. Monaco maintained their 3rd place with this win.

Biereth got a hat trick, Ilenikhena got a brace and the game ended 7-1 as Monaco completely destroyed Nantes. Nantes scored first though through Abline in the 4th minute of the game and everything was going smoothly for Nantes until the 8th minute when Cozza got his red card that then reduced Nantes to 10 men and that was the beginning of their suffer on this game. The first half ended with 2-1 goals in favour of Monaco and they scored another 5 goals in th second half. Manoco took advantage of Nantes going to down to 10 men and punished them seriously. The red card was too early in the game but it was a well deserved red card.

The match has ended, and the final score was 7-1. Monaco made good use of the red card against Nantes so well. I never expected that Monaco would win the match with such a score. It has been a long time since Monaco scored seven goals in Ligue 1 competition, but they did that today. Monaco fans will be so happy with this victory, which led to so many goals. However, even with the red card, I was not expecting Nantes to concede that many goals against Monaco, especially since Monaco is not in great form like
. It is only PSG that I usually expect to score that many goals.

PSG's biggest chance is that they are a team that can easily bring in young players from the French league. A young player who grows up in France can open up to the world market with a Paris Saint-Germain transfer. They are aware of this and they do not have difficulty adding young players to the team, even if they do not come out of their own academy. The simplest example of this is Mbappé. He became a star player who became a global after joining Paris Saint-Germain.

That is true, but unfortunately young players recruited by PSG and have a brilliant career ended with a little disappointment. Just look at how competition in League 1 is not competitive and only PSG is the most powerful team in League 1. So it's no wonder that young players who will be recruited by PSG will have a brilliant career because they have easier opponents to be defeated.
Now we can see how Mbappe who is currently with a big team in La Liga that has not been able to have achievements like when with PSG.

The lack of competition in the league is unlikely to negatively impact the players because they compete regularly in high intensity Champions League matches which maintain their sharpness and competitive edge. It’s true that Mbappe struggled when he first moved to Real Madrid but that is normal for every player who moves to a new league and a new club, Mbappe is no longer struggling in Madrid, he has picked form and is scoring goals.

. It is only PSG that I usually expect to score that many goals.

Monaco wouldn't have won the match if not for the red card on Nicolas Cozza. Nantes was already ahead by one goal before that red card. And they managed to hold the game until the pressure became too much for them in the  40th minute. Monaco took advantage of the one-man reduction to dismantle the visitor's defense and score many goals. With this win, Monaco' has consolidated its hold on the third position.
