French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Oluwa-btc]

Luis Enrique is disappointed, because there is very little time left in the match, but PSG is still 1 goal behind, the score is still 1-2, Monaco is trying to play as much defense as possible now. I am really surprised to see such disappointing matches from PSG, a goal from PSG in the 84th minute was offside. They are now trying very hard to draw the match like the previous matches in any way. And I think that is what will happen, because I don't think PSG can win this match. Now the thing to see is whether they can draw the match somehow, they have very little time now.

Should he Luis Enrique be excited? Off course not for real. They are yet to win a single game and it is about right if he loses his cool after thus lose.

I'd love to make my own post about Felipe Luis though, yet to lose in league one and he has just won the game against the defending Champions of league 1. After the win, they will be seen as a club who can at least compete with them towards winning the league competition. They fought hard to get a draw but still failed. They are having a slow start this season, if they don't bounce back immediately, they will lose the league to another club.

PSG, some of us are having a laugh at them meanwhile when it gets tough they will still run away with the league that's just the funny thing. Frankly, if someone had said PSG will play 3 consecutive games without a win the league this season, I'm sure no body will ever believe it and that's because it sounds impossible. Today after scoring first and winning the first half, who would have thought Monaco was going to make a complete comeback in the second half, it's going to be a memorable win for Monaco because I never thought this was going to be possible. The champions has been without a win in the previous 2 games and they were in front in this, who would have thought this will happen. This is one major reason why we love the game of football because anything can happen.

Failing to win once or twice might just be a coincidence, but if it happens three times, is it still a coincidence?

This Champions League winner have failed to prove that they are indeed a scary team, I can say that Paris Saint-Germain is rigged now, billions of dollars are flowing to the bookies because of this trash team.

Red signal for all gamblers, switch your bet to teams in other leagues & leave this stupid team alone for a while!

It now 3 league games without a win for PSG, the current league holders and champions league holders have just managed to get points in possible 9. This defeat today is unacceptable, you can’t lose games like this at home, it a derby and PSG messed it up. One thing I noticed about PSG this season is they don’t create chances like they do in the previous season. I know the French league is not really competitive but if you keeping dropping points like this, it will prove costly.

Monaco dropped a good performance, they converted the chances that were created and defended well after that. It was an entertaining game for we the spectators. Monaco now have 9 points from possible 9. Will this season be their season.

I watched the end of this match and it seemed like PSG would manage to come back and play their now-traditional 2-2 draw but this time it didn't work out. I think Luis Enrique is having a hard time motivating the PSG players as they've won everything they could in their country. but even after such poor performances in the first three matches PSG still remains the favorite to win the French championship. perhaps PSG will find better form in a month or two.

The advantage PSG has is that they have a good coach who is a good tactician and they also have the money to spend. They can play badly for the first half of the season, barely hanging on, then by January they make like 3 or 4 signings and given the fact that they have a very good coach, he will use the players to turn the season around. Two seasons ago, this was exactly what happened. Then in January, they signed Kvaratskhelia to their attack and the team got better. I'm not even worried about them because I know they would be fine. It would be nice to see another team win the league, but I doubt that's going to happen. Last season, Lens lost only one game in the first half of the season, yet they couldn't hold on till the end to win the league. They didn't have the quality PSG has, and the league kept postponing PSG's games between the UCL, which was an advantage.

It was about time for PSG to start loosing because, they’ve being performing far below expectations this season. As much as we would like to believe that the season has just begun, it’s important to note that, points are being lost and the point difference that they would have to pursue eventually is mounting on them. They’ve being using their superior play to come back from 2 goals down and get a draw but, they didn’t have any such chance today against Monaco. They’ve being handed down their first defeat and maybe after this, the team would be awaken to some seriousness towards winning.

[Majestic-milf]

 It's safe to say PSG who were hot last season are struggling to dominate this time around but what would be more annoying is when they end up lifting the trophy when the season comes to a close. In their last three games, it has been two draws and a loss so what do you expect Luis Enrique to do? He's definitely be disappointed because his team are not showing the others that they dominate the league, rather they are scrambling.
As it is, it's not a safe option to carry PSG straight winning in your bet because they've been very disappointing. Let's see how long their poor attitude would last.

Bettors have really surfered enough in the hands of Paris-Saint-Germain, so I think it's high time they stop including them in their bets because they are still not trustworthy at all. Because today's match was quite different from other ones, as they were able to make it through the first half.

But I don't know that they would make it worst this time around. At least they would have ended up in a 2-2 draws as usual, instead of leaving bettors with empty-handed. It's obvious that many gamblers wouldn't pick them for a direct win.

Gamblers have really suffered a lot at the hands of this PSG team this season. We started the season with the impressions that, they are title defenders and the performance they’ve given all through the leagues and cups played in Europe, bookies still giving them no value odds as favorites and then you have them play only to show just how wrong you would have being to gamble on them for a win.
Anyone gambling on PSG right now ought to know it’s a huge risk, the time isn’t just right yet and when such a time comes, it would be unmistaken as, they would be playing catchup on the points.

It's been a while since I commented on this thread, but as a PSG fan, I decided to comment on yesterday's game. I'm talking about this game:

PSG 1 - 2 Monaco

PSG came into this game with very poor results, two consecutive draws, and they couldn't afford to drop points in this game if they wanted a smooth season. So, playing at home, hopes were higher, and when they scored the first goal, I celebrated thinking that at least in this game they would win. But to my dismay, they conceded two goals and lost. This poor performance isn't very shocking to me, and it's not something I didn't expect to happen, for the following reason:

In recent seasons, PSG hasn't spent much money signing very famous players; they've created a team of average players, and this only worked because their opponents were going through similar periods, either in Ligue 1 or the Champions League. But this wouldn't be sustainable in the long term.

The coach kept over 70% of the same squad of average players while other teams were evolving. The result? It's what we're seeing. Other teams are managing to compete with PSG's average players. So until the next transfer window, PSG will have to pray before each game, because with this current squad things won't be as easy as before, and this could serve as a lesson for the management and the coach.



I wonder how PSG fans will react to this.

PSG didn’t win any of their last four matches against the big rivals in the league. They lost the final against Lens, even when they were down to 10 men since the first half of the match. Luis Enrique boys draw the last two away games, I thought the third game at home would be different. I was very confident that PSG were going to win the match. Anything that made them draw the first two games, they would likely win the third game to get a three points.

To be honest, from what I have seen so far, PSG is not ready to win this season. I don’t know if they will improve after this, but this same performance will not take them anywhere. PSG dominated the first half of the game, I didn’t understand what changed in the second half. Monaco is very underrated this season, Filipe Luis is doing a great job. Becoming the first Monaco manager to win his first five games in all competitions.

I think what is happening to PSG right now is lack of hunger. They don’t seem to be playing with hunger in their squad right now, the hunger to win trophies are not there anymore as they feel they’ve won it all. Yes they have won and achieved a lot of trophies in the past few years, winning back to back champions league and domestic titles but the mentality to continue to be wanting more is no longer there which is going to be a very bad situation they will find themselves in. If they don’t tackle this immediately they will lose even more games and continue to disappoint bettors who have too much faith in them. They have a lot of talent in the squad but right now the talent is not enough to continue winning, what they need now is a strong mentality to continue wanting more success. This is where the coach will have to come in and fix things.

PSG is having the worst time in the league right now, not being able to secure a win in the past consecutive three games which is very unlike the French giants. Monaco had an unexpected comeback after a goal from Marquinhos, a late goal that got them the win.

Luis Enrique would have to convince the fans that they are still capable of winning the league trophy despite their starting form, it's very much possible that they get back to winning way in the next consecutive games, we would love to see the UCL winners back in action.

[Hypnotizer]

What is wrong with PSG? They have just started this season with a very bad form and now they are about 7 points below the league leaders Monaco. I applaud Monaco for their bravery by winning PSG from away, even when they were a goal down in the first half but they returned for the second half with high spirit which helped them to fall the mighty PSG team.

PSG are certainly having a very terrible start but the season still have a long way ahead, so Enrique still has time and I like how this is going, if there’s more competition in the Ligue 1 then PSG wouldn’t have that added advantage they usually get in the Champions League by resting their best players for big Champions league games anymore because they’ll also need to compete more for the league title.

It will be better to observe PSG in their upcoming games until they start winning their matches but for now I can even vouch for them that they can win Stade Brest.

PSG have failed to win all of their starting games for sure but I don’t expect them not to win against Stade Brestois in their next game just because they failed earlier against Rennes, Lille and Monaco.. Brestois are a much weaker opponent.

Is there a problem within the team? Because Paris Saint-Germain, with such a high-quality squad, couldn't have started the league this badly. I expected them to win all their matches so far, but they've had two draws, btw both in the last minute, and one defeat. It's a terrible start to the season for Paris Saint-Germain. They almost started with three defeats. Luckily, they managed to get draws in the first two matches in the last minutes. However, they conceded a losing goal in the last minute against Monaco. Now is the time for them to capitalize on this in France. If they want to take the championship from Paris Saint-Germain, the other teams need to increase the point difference after such a poor start.

Compared to the transfer market moves of City, Real Madrid, and some other clubs, PSG is certainly lagging behind this season, but hasn't the balance of power in Ligue 1 remained the same? How is it when PSG's budget is equal to the budget of the 6 teams behind them?
And please tell me what you think about PSG's title odds? They rose to 1.20 before this round (previously they were 1.16), and they'll likely rise even further now. Does it make sense to continue betting on this outcome, or is the risk growing faster? I still think that 1.25-1.30 will be a gift.

PSG fans are now coming up with different complaints because they got two points in three games. The club still has one of the best squads in Europe and is still in good shape to compete in all competitions. Luis Enrique could still use available players to turn the tide around. The league is just starting, and players will have to gel with each other.

They might be in the twelfth position now but can still win Ligue One. The French League has very weak opposition to PSG. Other clubs are highly inconsistent and might start dropping points.

Apologies to PSG fans, but I want them to lose the Ligue One title this season. The French League has been very boring.

Before the PSG vs. Monaco match, there was the Lyon vs. Auxerre match.

Lyon was already up by two goals in the 31st minute. The match is still going on, and anything can still happen. I’d like to share a bit about this match before those two goals that gave Lyon the lead, based on what I saw on my screen.
Lyon had scored a goal, but VAR showed that Openda, who scored it, was offside. Two minutes later, it was Auxerre’s turn to score. The same thing happened—VAR disallowed the goal because it was ruled a foul.

I didn't get the chance to watch the live match, but thanks for taking the time to break down how the whole thing unfolded. The first half sounds entertaining, but it kind of not so cool how VAR dictated the flow of the game by wiping out goals for both sides in matter of minutes but that's just modern football, VAR has a lot of say. It seems that Lyon handled the whole frustrating situation much better than Auxerre. They were dedicated enough to capitalize on the confusion to bag 2 goals to themselves!! That was great.

Lyon’s victory was a different story from PSG’s loss to Monaco.
In Lyon’s match, two goals by both teams were disallowed by VAR, but PSG’s performance looked particularly lackluster—despite their shots on target, they managed to score only one goal.
Just think about it: 11 shots, with 5 on target, resulted in only one goal in the first half, while Monaco didn’t have a single shot on target.

PSG will certainly have to step on the gas if they want to avoid failure in the 2026 season, because if they keep dropping points, they could end up falling behind Monaco.

[Cossyblack]

Failing to win once or twice might just be a coincidence, but if it happens three times, is it still a coincidence?

This Champions League winner have failed to prove that they are indeed a scary team, I can say that Paris Saint-Germain is rigged now, billions of dollars are flowing to the bookies because of this trash team.

Red signal for all gamblers, switch your bet to teams in other leagues & leave this stupid team alone for a while!

PSG is now a trash team simply because they couldn't secure a win in their three games which is not fair. What's the big team after all they've just lost a match and have secure two draws, at least they've got two points,this means they are not the worst team in the table yet. Monaco may be topping the table right now,but this means nothing because psg will still overtake them in the end. Monaco isn't reliable,the same goes for lyon and Lillie. yea,monaco may have won their last three matches which skyrocketed them to the top of the table,i can bet that they will start dropping points sooner or later. I'm optimistic that psg will get back on their feet again and they will surely manuver their way to top of the table so i'm not given up on them yet.

Two draws and a loss is not what we expected but that doesn't make them a thrash team, the funny thing about the Ligue 1 is that PSG would still win the title at the end but it's painful cause it's causing bettors of lose money, many of my friends complained about losing their bet cause of them and the more they keep performing poorly it might affect some players confidence.

Could it be that the Ligue 1 is starting to become more competitive cause teams like Lens amd Monaco are suprising me this season or they’re just giving their best for now cause the competition just started? PSG have to recover from yesterday's defeat else fans would lose trust in them, for now i won't be on them until they improve.
