French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Odohu]

French Cup semifinal games will be held tomorrow and the day after, and I already see two favourite teams.
First Dunkerque - PSG. Obviously PSG is way better and should win.
Second match, Cannes - Reims, again the away team is better.
Overall, PSG is the best candidate and should collect Ligue 1 title in addition to the French Cup.

I don't know what others opinion might be on this but in my opinion, I think PSG will not only win this match they will also win the trophy because they are more equipped than the other teams that are competing with them in the competition. The league is already done and dusted for PSG in my book, just a matter of time for the league organizers to hand it over to them.

In my opinion, Luis Enrique will not take any risks against Dunkerque in the Cup de France and the next match vs Angers in Ligue 1, he will rotate his players to keep them fit to face Aston Villa in UCL.
On paper, PSG can easily win over Dunkerque, while in Ligue 1, they are one step away from becoming Ligue champions, currently they have collected 71 points, 21 points ahead of Monaco in second place, they only need one more point to become champions.

The gap between PSG and the other teams is really embarrassing if we look at it objectively. How can a team gap others with 21 points in a league they all started together and with the same number of players, it really sound somehow and difficult to imagine from the beginning of the season. This also shows that there is less competition in the French league than other leagues because it will be a little difficult to see such in Premier League or Spanish La Liga.

Meanwhile I'm betting over 2.5 in the match between Nice and Nantes tonight. This should be the likely option as I see a possible correct score of 2:1

The presence of PSG in the French Ligue1 side is the only thing that is stopping the progress of the rest of the team in the league, I wonder why the other teams are yet to get good sponsors they is willing to invest a huge amount of money in the teams to buy players that will be able to compete with the squad in the PSG team because from all indication the amount spent on players in the PSG team is the reason why PSG will keep winning the league title and dominate the league even till next year. You can see for yourself PSG is already 21 points ahead of the 2nd place team when the league is not yet over and from all indication they may end up getting more points while the other teams drop points because of the opponents they will be playing in their next matches.
Before you see other leagues having a team that dominate other teams in the league like PSG it's going to be difficult because in recent times there have been good improvements in other leagues I think the French Ligue1 needs that kind of improvement because the league is becoming boring because of how PSG is already dominating everything in the league.

Paris Saint-Germain football team played very well against Dunkerque football team in the last match and that was good match because from the start of match, situation was different but with time,we saw change in the match and Paris Saint-Germain did good come back in this match. Sasso was a person who did goal at 7 minutes of the match and after this,we saw goal from Al Saad and he did goal at 27 minutes of the match. But in the second half, Paris Saint-Germain team did excellent and did 4 goals in this match. Dembélé was a person who did 2 goals in this match when that was requirement of team and we saw big effort by that player because he did goals when these were required. He did his first goal at 45 minutes of the match and second goal was at the end and he did goal at 93 minutes of the match and match was ended with 4-2 .

in the first half of the match after Dunkirk scored the second goal many people started mocking PSG for losing to a team from a lower division, although I don't understand why they were doing that, because at that point the first half wasn't even over, let alone the match was going in any way wrong. It was perfectly obvious that PSG were actually in complete control of the match, the second half is an indication of that. I think it's already obvious who won the cup of france, if it wasn't suddenly obvious from the start

The competition in Ligue 1 will still be like this for several seasons if no team undergoes major changes to catch up with PSG. It is indeed something that will not be easy for clubs in Ligue 1 to do, but in terms of game quality, we can see that several teams should be able to if they have enough improved finances.
No need to compare with teams in other leagues, because the competition in Ligue 1 will never be the same as other teams in the big leagues. The quality of the league will increase when the teams also experience significant improvements.

I think that with due respect to the other teams in the French ligue 1 they have failed to strengthen their team and bring in quality players so that they can compete favorably with PSG it's not about the money these clubs also sell players every season and they make money through other means too so the problem is that other teams in the league are ready to spend money so they can compete with PSG and if this thing continues like this PSG will be winning the league for as much as possible, the German bundesliga was like this it was been dominated by bayern munich for years until Leverkusen came up to challenge them for the bundesliga title and won last season and this season too Leverkusen is still fighting with bayern munich over the league title so teams in the French ligue 1 needs to sit up and challenge PSG by improving their teams

A lot of teams in the French league are facing serious financial issues this is hindering them from improving their team.
Football is now mostly about money, you hardly see a team that is not financially strong with a promising player anymore they must be one team that will come to sweep him up.
PSG has solid financial support and backing this has kept them ahead of their opponents in the league. I think the league needs  to find a way to give other teams opportunities to grow financially.

[Agbe]

Nantes is leading nice by 1:2 at away in tonight ligue one game that is taking place no body expected Nantes to put up a performance like this because by the standing is the ligue one table nice is fourth position while Nantes is in thirteen positions on the ligue 1 table with only 27 points and what is even surprising about this game is that nice has 77% of the ball possession with nineteen shots and with eight been on target, so this game is quite difficult to describe because nice is doing everything possible to win this game but Nantes has been defending very strong

Until a team gets up to the challenge of been able to put PSG on their toes such that they understand they have a tough rival, then it will become clear that a possible change could take place in the patterns and ways the games in the Ligue 1, the competition in the Ligue 1 isn't an intriguing one, at some point most persons don even consider it competitive because they can predict some outcome of the games and sometimes even the winners of the title, Marseille at the beginning of this season were putting up a good performance that was almost looking like they were going to the competition to the league but they lost form at some point.

[Slow death]

Nice 1 - 2 Nantes

It was a very strange game, Nice scored the first goal, they dominated possession a lot, to the point of having 77% of the ball, but it is unbelievable that they conceded 2 goals and lost the game. If Nice had won, they would still be in the running for a place in the European Champions League, but with this defeat, they have complicated things a lot, I doubt very much that they will be able to qualify for the European Champions League next season.

PSG are really enjoying the gap created in Ligue 1 right now, which will continue to make it easier for them to win trophies every season. I think PSG will continue to maintain the gap in various ways, including recruiting star players from other Ligue 1 clubs who are considered their competitors. Maybe limiting PSG transfer spending, including the player salary bill, can be a solution to eliminate the gap.

But in general, when PSG dominates too much, the competition for trophies becomes uninteresting, so that becomes one of Ligue 1's weaknesses. In addition, without competitive competition at the domestic level, PSG has difficulty competing in the Champions League almost every season.

Again Nice still can't decide the result of the club's bad match this time. even, with their opponent who is at a lower level, Nantes, Nice finally had to submit and lose with a score of 1 - 2, even though it was a home match for Nice, it's really unfortunate.

And after seeing the match statistics, I think Nice is really bad, even from the many attacks, they only scored 1 goal. Really bad, I don't know what their forward players did when they attacked, because it was easy for Nantes to defend  

Look at how many big missed sessions done by Nice.

The advantage of many points that are impossible for challengers to catch up should make them much more prepared to prepare for matches in the Champions League, but as you said because if there is no competitive competition in the domestic league, it will make it difficult for PSG to compete in the Champions League. There are almost no other teams in Ligue 1 that have the ability to break PSG's dominance because they don't have player support.

The financial quality of other teams will make them have no chance to compete with PSG because no team can afford to buy players like PSG and added to that is PSG's ability to always try to buy players with good quality so that it makes them stronger.

This Parisiens have been actively anticipating in the UEFA Champions League and at the same time, they didn't get  distracted, but focused more on the league, it's a win win for them. PSG have been an extreme club that have consider themselves as the best, they've earned every possible existing accolades in the league. There's probably no club capable of reaching peak with PSG.

Paris Saint-Germain are topping the Ligue One table with 71 points while second position is actually 50 pts. This is huge gap between the ctist spot and second. Luis Enrique have done a great job in surpassing every oppositions he met this season. Les Parisiens becoming a better version of their original selves.

[Hanadawa]

PSG this season has a great chance of winning the Treble winner, especially with the quality of coach Enrique. He can embrace the dressing room and make the players play comfortably, it can be seen on the field. Enrique's game system is also the best at the moment, maybe he also adheres to the philosophy that the best defense is to attack and score lots of goals. We can also see this when they beat Dunkerque in the French Cup when they were behind but they were able to bounce back and when they beat Liverpool in the last 16 of the UCL League.

Previously PSG had won the Trophee des Champions or French Super Cup at the beginning of the year after defeating AS Monaco. Now they have secured a place in the Coupe de France final after defeating Dunkerque. PSG will face Stade de Reims in the French Cup final. Reims is the 15th ranked team in Ligue 1. I think we can already confirm that PSG will win the French Cup. In Ligue 1 they also dominate and are more than 20 points ahead of Monaco. I think PSG have already secured a domestic treble this season. Their only challenge is to win the UCL this season. If PSG wins then they will be worthy of the true treble winner title and become the first French team to win the treble.

PSG is increasingly comfortable at the top with a difference of 21 points. This is a distance of 7 wins for Monaco. Interestingly, up to 27 matches, PSG has never lost a draw only 5 times. With this, if PSG wins tonight, it is certain that PSG will win Ligue 1 this season. PSG will visit Angers, PSG's statistics are quite good so it is likely that PSG will win. This condition certainly allows them to focus on UCL. But the PSG coach will continue his unbeaten record until the end of this season's Ligue 1 matches.

A 1-0 win over Angers saw PSG become the first team in Europe's top 5 leagues to win the league, the points PSG have already collected impossible for Monaco to catch up with even if they manage to collect all the remaining points. Luis Enrique has managed to build an extraordinary squad this season, this success is complemented by an unbeaten record this season and only experiencing 5 draws.
Now it's time for them to focus on UCL.

Fantastic season for PSG and although PSG have won the league before with different coaches but it's been a long time since I can remember PSG playing so well in both the league and the Champions League, moreover this year PSG knocked out Liverpool of the Champions League and we should notice that Lirerpool would win the EPL this season.
PSG are playing like Barcelona in the days of Neymar, Messi and Suarez. Luis Enrique has defied criticism and built a great team where almost all players can score.

[Slow death]

PSG definitely has no rival in Ligue1, this season they didn't have any player who was very famous like Mbapp or Messi or Neymar, but even so they had a much better season compared to the seasons in which the 3 famous players were, maybe the reason is because the other Ligue1 teams are very weak and PSG found a great coach



As a PSG fan I feel very happy, congratulations to PSG for the 13th title, next season we will win it again, maybe in the next 5 years we will continue to win Ligue 1 consecutively

[Pokapoka124]

PSG are now 3-2 up against Dunkerque. But I have to say Dunkerque performed much better than I expected in this match. The team took a 2-0 lead within 27 minutes of the match. The first half ended 2-1 due to Dembele's goal in the last minute of the first half.

However, like in the previous matches, Enrique changed PSG's match strategy in this match too in the second half. Enrique was able to find the weaknesses of Dunkerque's defense well. In the 20 minutes of the second half, PSG's players had 10 shots. Four of them were on target and PSG was able to score two goals. Marquinhos scored a goal from Dembele's pass just 3 minutes into the second half. And DOue scored from Barcola's pass in the 62nd minute. PSG continued their attack. I wouldn't be surprised if PSG's players scored a few more goals.

Incredible performance from PSG in the game, from conceding two goals in the first half only to come back into the game in the second and scoring two more to finish the game 4-2. PSG are on a different level this season under Luiz Enrique. They have so well transformed and are making history already this season. This is indeed a different PSG side we have seen in the past years.

Camara score injury time goal for Brest at home against Monaco as things are on balance for top spots in French League after PSG secure their title with win against Angers at home Marseille and Nice losing their momentum which is creating serious challenges for them.



Brest which was struggling badly in throughout season now giving their best for having chance of staying in for UEFA competitions just 6 rounds left in season with all top teams are on decline. In this current round, top teams are struggling badly for having good results as Nice lost to Nantes and now Monaco lost against Brest while after 15 minutes Lille leading against Lyon on road which is another tense ending going to happen while Lille is also having good chance of staying into top four.
