French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[el kaka22]

PSG now needs to look at the future, next stage, and who they are going to face. It is going to be either Liverpool or Barcelona and neither will be easy games at all, it is going to be a very tough game without a doubt for them.

I do not see PSG beating neither of them, the chance of Liverpool or Barcelona winning looks much bigger, and not like they have any other option, it is going to be one of these two teams. If they can go further, then it will be much simpler for them to win the next stage, if they beat Liverpool or Barcelona, the next stage will be Brugge, Lille or Villa, and for that case, I would say PSG is the better team in all those four teams.

But, I do not see how PSG could beat these good teams first.

[hahay]

I have to say PSG is quite lucky in this play off round because they get an opponent from their own league, namely Brest. I also can't understand the person who created the schedule in this play off round from so many clubs why PSG has to meet Brest? of course PSG can get rid of Brest easily because based on their statistics in the domestic league, no League 1 club is able to appear stronger than PSG so when they meet in the UCL it will feel the same if it concerns a 1 league club, I am not at all impressed with PSG's performance in the UCL especially in this round even though they qualified with a fairly large aggregate.

Yes indeed, there is no challenge whatsoever for PSG in the play-off round, because basically PSG is still PSG who has a big dominance in Ligue 1. So, if PSG gets an opponent team from Ligue 1, then without any doubt PSG has been confirmed to qualify even before the match starts. But even so, PSG really did not hold back because PSG also really destroyed Brest in this play-off round. PSG should have only been able to ensure qualification and did not need to destroy Brest with a landslide score like that. But even so, I am sure it will still be difficult for PSG to go further in the Champions League, even to get to the semifinals I still think I will doubt PSG.

[Weawant]

Yes, in Ligue 1, PSG is without a doubt. Although many people think that there will be another club that will take over it all, but not for now, it is proven, PSG is still very popular in Ligue 1, has not been defeated, and still dominates the top of the Ligue 1 standings with a fairly large point difference.

This means, now their focus is really on increasing their strength, especially their attack line, to make their performance in the UCL even stronger.

And thankfully, PSG defeated their play-off opponents very satisfactorily, Brest. with a very large aggregate of 10 - 0. If only they could always be that optimal in every UCL match.

That aggregate is literally one of it ki.d and I don't think there's any team in the whole of the UCL this season who got qualification with such aggregate,  so far PSG ha gotten a really impressive performance at the UCL but then in their domestic league they are liberally as good too and so they seem to be trying to make it an all round performance of excellence. Congratulations to PSG on their qualification,  it would be even more exciting if they ate able win the trophy this time but they have got Madrid to contend to make that a reality.

And thankfully, PSG defeated their play-off opponents very satisfactorily, Brest. with a very large aggregate of 10 - 0. If only they could always be that optimal in every UCL match.

That happened because the opponent they faced was an opponent they had met very often, yes they both came from Ligue 1 and I am not surprised by their victory like this and finally brought them to the last 16 position in the Champions League this season.
From the beginning we have predicted that they will be able to win easily and today we see a victory that is indeed very easy for them to get. The last 16 is the real challenge for them, because they will face a team that could be stronger than them.

Yes, that's right, they are both from the French Ligue 1, and this season, Brest is also not in its best condition. Even in Ligue 1, Brest's performance has declined greatly and is only ranked 9th. This means that when facing PSG who have really known Brest, PSG can beat them quite easily.

It's just that, unfortunately, after this in the round of 16, PSG must face top clubs who will be very difficult to face. That is between Barcelona or Liverpool. Just waiting to see who will be their opponent later based on the pool draw.

But, I do not see how PSG could beat these good teams first.

Facing Liverpool and Barcelona is another nightmare for PSG, but given their journey to the last 16, Luis Enrique squad still cannot be underestimated. PSG could have more luck, although their chances are basically very slim, especially if they face Liverpool. Of course, Club Brugge, Lille or Aston Villa are certainly easier to beat in the quarter-finals, but Luis Enrique must find a surefire way to get through the last 16 first.

Luis Enrique seems will be rotating players more often for domestic matches, in order to keep the stamina of key players fully fit and minimize the risk of injuries that could harm them in the future. They can do this without having to worry, because they lead the standings with a 10-point advantage over their closest rivals Marseille.

............................................................

In this discussion, as we know, the French Ligue 1 is still held by the strongest team in all fields, namely Paris Saint Germain at the top of the standings every year. So the question is whether other teams in the French League 1 cannot match Paris Saint Germain. The answer is yes, of course it is not uncommon for a team that is financially very supportive in all aspects, while other teams have the best players but there are still some who are lacking in terms of finances or limited star players. So far, Paris Saint Germain has not been able to replace them as a candidate to win the French League 1.

Right in the 2020/2021 season, LOSC Lille managed to stop PSG's dominance, and managed to win the title which was quite surprising because the difference in points they achieved was only one point ahead of PSG's points, where LOSC had 83 points and PSG had 82 points. But after that PSG again dominated the league by winning 3 consecutive titles.

And this is inseparable because after winning the title, LOSC took advantage of the momentum to sell their players who received offers at quite high prices, with the departure of the main players so that LOSC was unable to defend their title and fell back into the hands of PSG. and this almost applies to every French league 1 club except PSG.

PSG have single-handedly won the France League title in the last few seasons, and in each season PSG have had more points than the second-placed team in the table. PSG can win the title in this league as easily as no other league team can win the title so easily. If PSG were a Premier League or La Liga team it would be fine because PSG would have their equals there. If a good team regularly competes against weaker teams, then at some point that strong team becomes a weak team because that strong team has no idea about the big teams. That's the case with PSG at the moment, they play the entire season against relatively weak teams but when they come up against strong opponents in Champions League matches, they don't perform well there

I think the reason why PSG can't compete fiercely in the Champion League competition is because League 1 is not competitive even in the last few seasons no team has put pressure on PSG to defend its title and it's all because of PSG's financial strength which is above average of other teams.
And I'm even sure that for the next few seasons it will be difficult for other teams to compete with PSG unless the team management is willing to spend more money to buy quality players in all lines.

PSG really didn't have mercy on Brest in the Champions League.    Beating them by 10-0 in total was too heavy. It was like a threat to their next opponent but we will see about that when they face Liverpool or Barcelona up next. 

Coming back to the Ligue 1, everything is going great for PSG. A 10-point gap with Marseille and still unbeaten... What do you think? Will they finish the season without getting any loss?

In two days there is a Lyon - PSG game. It has been ages since Lyon beat them home the last. I don't think PSG will lose this time either. 1.76 odds are nice to bet on their win honestly.

That was an absolute humiliation  and it wasn't even necessary against the poor Brest considering they're neighbours

Lyon against PSG? That's a sure victory for PSG of course judging from the latest performances of both teams. PSG chances of winning the league is high with a ten points interval against Marseille. With remaining about twelve games to conclude the season, if PSG can at least maintain a significant win and draw some games.

A direct bet on PSG to win and over 2.5 goals will be a good option too.

It should not have been done by PSG and PSG should have maintained Brest reputation as a weak team. If it was done in a league 1 match, maybe it would have been fairer. But unfortunately it was done in the UCL which was watched by many football fans. In fact, it was a bad thing for PSG reputation which was only able to score big against weak teams but when playing against a team of the same level, PSG was unable to do anything. We'll see later when playing against Liverpool.

Regarding the end of PSG journey this season, I think I have a feeling that PSG will still lose at least 1x. And regarding the match against Lyon later, I don't want to believe too much in PSG victory. The odds are too big for a team that is guaranteed to win. While Lyon currently also has very solid attacking players and is able to provide resistance when playing against any team. BTTS (Yes) option is a good choice, but to get bigger odds with a big risk, we can choose under 3.

[karabiber]

The reason why PSG failed in the Champions League is that Ligue 1 is not a competitive league. PSG have been champions in Ligue 1 for years. But they have no success in European cups. To turn this situation in their favor, they need to make Ligue 1 a competitive league. PSG alone cannot achieve this. If the French teams want to succeed, then everyone needs to step up to the plate. French teams are under a huge debt burden. The revenue of the teams is very low, the ratings of the league are very low. Ligue 1 needs financial support to increase its appeal. If these things are done, then Ligue 1 will become a more competitive league and PSG's chances of succeeding in the Champions League will increase.

Young guns of PSG doing good job and have enough stuff to show how competitive they are after beating Manchester City and having spot into round of 16 in Champions League even now they are also going to face challenges, but their preparation is impressive, and they can give tough competition to any team at any level.

Lyon vs PSG is going to be one of the interesting match even all are favorable for league leaders due to their quality and consistency, but Lyon is also doing good job their chances are high for going into European matches for next season with their increased quality and depth giving good results. For this match having most chances both teams to score and over 2.5 goals could be good because odds are not good due to big difference of quality between two teams.

This is quite a tough challenge for PSG because the team immediately meets a very tough opponent in the last 16, while in Ligue 1 itself PSG can still compete more relaxed because the points gap that PSG has is quite a lot with all its rivals.

That is a very reasonable reason, they are not used to competitive competition and when they have to feel it, they are not ready enough for the pressure that comes from a more difficult level of competition such as the Champions League. Finally they are like an ordinary club, maybe some of us would even say they are an ordinary club even though they have a big status at the domestic level. Maybe this is painful for them, but the reality that occurs in the Champions League competition is like that. Because they have to face other big clubs who are more ready because they are used to fierce competition, while they are not.

In last one decade usually PSG management were doing decisions which were never been positive and suitable now first time they are having few good things which are going to help them in long run firstly team is looking much better and competitive without big names.

Secondly now they are also having good faith into coach and giving him extension which is good while in this season early games were no good in Champions League, but now they are having spot into round of 16 which is big success coming season could be much better and positive because players will be having experience and good depth. Now facing Liverpool is big challenge but still good because after beating Manchester City their confidence level is improved, and they are feeling good which will help them for having good performance against Liverpool and keep their hopes alive for next round as well.

PSG got a very strong opponent in the UCL competition this season and it is not impossible that their journey only reaches the round of 16 because if we are objective by comparing the strength of the two teams, of course Liverpool has a greater chance of qualifying, but because this is football and PSG also has the ability, then they also have a chance even though it is small. Talking about League 1, PSG has no problems, their journey is very smooth and we already know what the final result will be!

PSG is currently in a very comfortable condition by being at the top of the ligue 1 standings, while in the UCL they were also able to qualify for the round of 16 by slaughtering a team that also came from ligue 1, no half-heartedly they destroyed Brest with an aggregate score of 10-0 and I think it was the biggest score that happened in the UCL this season, the big challenge now lies ahead of them against a team that is on fire in the EPL and I hope PSG still have ammunition when face Liverpool after they bombarded Brest previously , but for now I think Enrique will focus on their two closest matches which are facing Lille in Ligue 1 and also Stade Briochin in the French Cup quarterfinals.

PSG's game in this match is really fun to watch, Enrique is indeed good at uniting this team without the ego of his players. On the other hand, PSG is merciless, that's natural because they know they will face a strong team in the last 16 and that was proven after the draw PSG will face Liverpool. In this match Brest lost everything, in the same league, they already know each other's playing style. But still respect this team, they are able to talk a lot in the UCL this time, always proud to have a dark horse team every season.

Coming back to the Ligue 1, everything is going great for PSG. A 10-point gap with Marseille and still unbeaten... What do you think? Will they finish the season without getting any loss?

With the game played by Enrique this season I think they will be able to win the league 1 trophy without being defeated. Moreover, with a very large difference in points with their competitors, of course PSG will go through every match without significant pressure, which will make PSG's game smoother so that it is easy to win the match.

In two days there is a Lyon - PSG game. It has been ages since Lyon beat them home the last. I don't think PSG will lose this time either. 1.76 odds are nice to bet on their win honestly.

PSG has the potential to win this match, yes the odds given by the bookie are quite good considering this match will be played at Lyon's home ground. However, I personally will bet over 3 goals in this match because if you look at the history of the two teams' meetings, they have always produced many goals.

I think the PSG team is usually comfortable every season in the Ligue1 because they remain the best team in the league and they have more chances of winning the title every season based on the squad in the team but the champions League competition remains their priority this season and since they are lucky to meet a team that is not in their level and they comfortably defeated them home and away I think they have to show the same when they play against a team that is in their level and in first position in the English Premier League and if they are able to defeat Liverpool to progress to round of 4 then they will have more chances of getting closer to the champions League finals.

Both of these teams are both the top of the standings in their respective domestic league, Liverpool became the top of the standings in the English Premier League and PSG became the top of the French League 1 was quite great because it was at the top, this was a prestige match between which league was more good in my opinion.

Liverpool's victory has indeed become stronger because he is the leader of the standings in the Champions League with a better level of victory than PSG so that it can be considered that PSG meets the strongest in the Champions League, I agree that the ball is round and victory can come to which team Just because luck on the field can also help a team to steal goals early and maintain position until the end of the match.
