French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[jakdanyel]

Last week was great for Nice I think. Because they won one of their most difficult matches that was against PSG. But it was a well-deserved win without a doubt. Nice had a solid performance and didn't give much chance to their opponent. And it was really surprising to see Marseille losing their home match against Monaco too. This caused Marseille to lose their position to Nice. It seems like the competition for the second position is going to be really fierce until the last moment of the season.

At least PSG is still lucky with financial strength, it is enough for PSG to be stronger, because in Ligue 1 there are not many strong teams like those in the EPL and Serie A whose competition is more competitive. So that's the reason I say PSG are lucky enough, because even though PSG have a better squad but the reality is that PSG sometimes find it difficult to win and not only in Ligue 1, because it happens in other events as well. Well, anyway PSG this season has been great but I personally still don't believe PSG will survive like this in the coming seasons, but if their coach is really replaced and recruits Zidane as coach then of course it will make PSG even better.

Now this season is very important for them even they already have both hands on French League title, but they are very desperate for Champions League which is dream for owner and management if this season they fail to have this then surely we are going to have some good number of changes in this team with Zidane is also in connection for this job even it's not clear but all possibilities available because of their finances and if Mbappé is going to leave this then surely they will try to have some better replacement because currently we have some good number of players those are very competitive and can do much better here with Messi and few other stars.
French Sports Authorities need to do some better policy for having some good investment in more clubs because improving quality is also very significant, currently it's all bore just one team PSG is enjoying good.

I think that this time they really need to get the Champions League Trophy because without that the other trophies are pointless at the moment. So, I think we all know that they are going to win the league title but I think even they know that the main target is the Champions League Trophy. And with the type of squad that they have I think this is the first time that it can be achieved. otherwise, it is going to be really hard in the future for them.

I can't imagine the future of PSG if mbappe has officially left PSG (because of rumors like that). when facing NICE last time, Dimaria, neymar and messi played full. I admit NICE is one of the strongest teams in the standings this season, it looks like they will be in 2nd place until the end of the season.

PSG as the only one team on Ligue 1 have financial strength than left 19 other team and I think between PSG on other Ligue 1 team participants have far different between transfer player value until with salary received by PSG player, but I see not looks have competitive on Ligue 1 although have many derby and classic match but financial is most important thing on football competition right now. With financial strength than other team now PSG success lead as 1st standing position and have gap 13 points left from OSG Nice although some time PSG defeated by mediocre team.

PSG probably has a bigger budget than all the other teams combined. However, it is also about branding as well. If you were offered 50 million euro to play, would you go to Lille, or PSG? Or would you go to Lyon, Marsielle, whatever team? Or PSG?

Obviously people would prefer PSG in that case and that is not something they built overnight. They weren't always this good, first of all they got Neymar, that was the first piece of the puzzle but until that moment they already spent a lot on less known players, still great but not as good as Neymar, and then when the team reached to a level where Neymar could make a difference, they bought him for INSANE amount of money. Then they got a bit lucky to get Mbappe, he wasn't chepa and he was known to be great but nobody assumed he would be THIS great. So it takes like a decade and a ton of money to build a club like this.

The fight for second place will attract attention until the last matches of the league. Paris SG has no rivals for the leadership position. The race for second place will continue. Marseille is my favorite for that. Nice is one of the candidates for this race. Marseille will be second in my estimation. The relegation zone continues to be exciting.

Well mbappe is a talented young player with a promising career path, PSG will continue to keep him with money and future, so I don't think PSG will be willing to lose such a talented young player. Nice performed very well in when playing with PSG, but we have to see good performance from other clubs, that's is Rennes, there is also a very interesting person, oh yeah Laborde someone with the same top goal score as mbappe, and the difference in points is only 3 with Nice, at the top of the standings.

I'm a PSG fan but I think that their constant dominance makes the French league not very competitive, every season it's easy to predict who was the champion of league 1, it looks like they don't play against other teams, in my opinion the other teams need to improve a lot and for that they have to invest in good players and coaches to be able to compete against PSG, because in this current way, there is no competition, PSG even has the luxury of having a big difference and points, they become champions missing many games to finish league 1

Surely everyone who love this game in France want to some interesting competition, but sadly it's not easy to improve quality its need some good money and here most of the club owners are not doing anything for this even Marseille owners are not doing good things for their team mostly they are staying at second or third spot if they spend some good amount then surely they can improve some more and this is good for this league and competition with team like PSG.

Few seasons back we have some good game from Monaco but sadly now they are also struggling badly and have very hard time for qualifying into European cup for next season with Lille who won last season title now also struggling very badly recently they have some better results but still not good enough.

With financial strength than other team now PSG success lead as 1st standing position and have gap 13 points left from OSG Nice although some time PSG defeated by mediocre team.

There were few teams which have some better financial position but still PSG is having huge difference and with current way it's going no other team can compete with them in this case which is wired because few seasons back Monaco was also very good in Ligue 1, but suddenly they have downtrend last year Lille won title at the end of season with just one point gap this is also amazing.

But sadly in this season, we have no competition from any team and mostly good teams are struggling badly in league as they are unpredictable but good things still happening as Nice, Marseille and Rennes are doing good but no challenge for PSG so here French Sports Authority need to do some better things for improving quality and better financial things because right now it's all boring and if it's not changed then it's going more down for millions fans around the globe.

Not really have top performance from AS Monaco in this season because left 21 points on standing position with PSG and Monaco stuck only at 8th position standing. I think not any potential team to be compete with PSG although have Marseille as bigger rival on Ligue 1 but not have financial support like PSG can get many star player on their team, but still have magical last year when Lille can beaten PSG to be champion of Ligue 1 but looks have close chance in this season because between PSG and Nice as second position right now gap almost 13 points after 27th week.

Whereas the previous season I was very entertained when Lille surprisingly won the Ligue 1 trophy. And I thought this season would be a surprise
again, it turns out I was wrong, PSG again dominated Ligue 1. Where the difference in points PSG is now 13 points ahead with Nice who are
in second place, although PSG have lost twice in the last 5 matches. But PSG's position is still safe at the top and it is quite difficult to catch
PSG's points. I'm even 99% sure this season PSG will win the Ligue 1 trophy. It's too difficult for other teams to compete with PSG, who have
very strong finances, PSG can bring in as many star players as they want. Even Lille, who the previous season managed to win the Ligue 1
trophy, because this season couldn't buy good star players, their position has dropped a lot and is now in 7th position. I hope there are other rich
people who buy one of the clubs in Ligue 1, for PSG to get a rival and that will make Ligue 1 even more interesting.

The departure of mbappe mbappe, I don't think it will have much effect on PSG front line, now PSG has a front line that is quite full of the best players available and if mbappe leaves of course it will not make PSG lose its power over the dominance of ligue 1 later, I think if Without mbappe, PSG will still be able to dominate Ligue 1 because so far not PSG rivals are too strong to stop them from winning the championship trophy, besides with the money PSG have, they may find it easy to find a suitable substitute to fill the position left by mbappe.
So, you don't have to imagine something terrible if mbappe goes .

You said the truth but other clubs in that league can not blame all on PSG. Why rich foundations did not choose other clubs in France? PSG has something attractive to rich foundation so that they decided to invest in PSG in Paris. Before PSG, Lyon dominated Ligue 1 but people did not complain it as the end or something bad for this league. They complained about it because they think it is unfair (that I believe it is not true) for other clubs when PSG dominated the league with money from their foreigner boss.

If PSG can win Champions League, they can attract more foundations to Ligue 1 and the general quality there will be improved. Just like Premier League, after Chelsea, they have Manchester City.

Nice must be really contented with the result in the Marseille - Monaco match last week. They have captured the second position again after so many weeks. And I assume that most people expected Marseille to get at least one point in this match. But they can get surprising results like this sometimes. And it cost them their position in the standings this time. But they are still competing for that position very heatedly. And I believe this will go on until the end of the season. It is very important to finish as the second because the second team join the CL group stage directly.

I feel like Neymar switched off after going from Barca. That is perhaps the most expensive blow for PSG. If I'm honest, and I actually really like him, but have never admired him.

I think that there are a lot of things going on in Messi, Ramos, and Neymar's head when they are added to the PSG squad. Ramos didn't want to leave the team, Neymar was not sure if it was the best decision that he made. and you all know about the Messi situation that he was in. I don't think that PSG minded all that things because they got really good deals and also good players. but I think the mental health of the players were not up to the mark.

There's no doubt about that, all of them seem to be suffering from bouts of self confidence, but it also isn't helped that you're playing constantly against "lower" quality opposition teams. You can just see when they play, they are sure on the ball and pass very well and have all kinds of skills that the other teams cannot even match up to.

But then they get to a killing situation and you can see they think twice (except Mbappe it seems) before shooting or passing.

It makes a huge mental difference to play against super tough teams day in and day out and win and get confidence from there.

I think all of them except Messi thinks they made the wrong decision (Messi had no choice actually). And they're not the only ones look at Wijnaldum, his last game he had something like 7 touches! For a midfielder!

Second position finish until end season I think great achievement for Nice after success defeating PSG last week and should consistent with several match left if want get great chance qualify to champion league next year. Although on 2nd position standing right now OGC Nice position still not really safety because left two and three points from Marseille and Rennes if once match later failed get three points Marseille have ready for replacing OGC Nice on 2nd position standing, still left 11 match and next two weeks later have important match against Marseille.

Few seasons back we have some good game from Monaco but sadly now they are also struggling badly and have very hard time for qualifying into European cup for next season with Lille who won last season title now also struggling very badly recently they have some better results but still not good enough.

Monaco was a well-respected team in France a few seasons ago, and even in the 2016/17 season Monaco managed to challenge for the Ligue 1 title, but their habit of constantly selling off their star players made Monaco today like a mediocre team that only complements Ligue 1, If Monaco is able to retain talented players like Mappe, Rodriguez, Youri Tielemans and Fabinho, of course, Monaco will become PSG current competitor team in Ligue 1.

The Monaco team is not bad yet. They are playing well enough. And yet they have the potential to occupy second place on the table. Most of the teams of Ligue 1 sell their talented young players at high prices. And so no Ligue 1 team can play consistently well every season. And we see the reign of PSG in the friendly season.

No player is indispensable. The important thing is to find new players to play in the place of outgoing players. Mbappe is one of the best players in the world and he is very important to the team, I hope he removes it from the team.
He suffered a minor injury and shared that he was happy in Paris after this injury. We'll see what happens at the end of the season

[LUCKMCFLY]

What I initially did not think turns out to be the case, PSG turns out to be more vulnerable. They've already lost a few times, you can't keep talking about underestimation. I thought so in the beginning. It sometimes seems like they don't feel like it at all. The fact that everyone knows that Mbappe will leave after this season doesn't really help either. They do become champions, but due to this reduced focus, they can still play against Real Madrid in the CL.

Well, that's why I always say that in football nothing is written, anything can happen, and with respect to PSG, it is a team that with so many stars is expected to be unstoppable, even I thought so, it resembled Real Madrid in its good time when it was Figo, Ronaldo, Zidane, Roberto Carlos.

For the PSG match against Real Madrid, it is likely that Mbappé will not be able to attend because he has a small injury, so everything will be in the hands of Messi and Neymar Jr, this is something that has to happen to see how much they can respond at the moment that Mbappé leaves PSG.

Most of the teams of Ligue 1 sell their talented young players at high prices. And so no Ligue 1 team can play consistently well every season. And we see the reign of PSG in the friendly season.

Right now just 27 rounds ended in French League and still many opportunities available for all teams to achieve higher ranks, but recently we have unpredictable results from Monaco just because of this it is very tough task for them to achieve second spot because Marseille and Nice already doing good job for holding these two spots and Rennes and Strasbourg are relatively also having good results so for me in this season it's not possible for them to achieve this task even it's difficult for them to reach at top three spots, but they need to do some better strategy for next season because Monaco is one of teams who can challenge PSG in this league mostly other teams are not capable of this strength and sources.
