French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[DU18]

So far in ten PSG matches, both in Ligue 1 and in the champions league. PSG really played very impressively, overall they played very compact and teamwork was prioritized by the squad led by Galtier. the problems that occurred over the dispute between Neymar and Mbappe gradually subsided, they played very professionally when they played the match.

I enjoy every performance played by the SPG squad, no doubt they always show a beautiful football game. in particular, the role of messi which has always been a determining factor in every victory that PSG have. for the champions league, I would not rush to say they will qualify for the final phase. until the time comes, those who can prove it.

the cooperation factor is a serious problem that is still difficult to solve by galtier on the front line of PSG which is inhabited by 3 of the world's greatest strikers. young age makes mbappe look selfish and reportedly he is in the star syndrome phase.

The sharpness of PSG's front line is no longer in doubt, if only the three of them could play compactly and perfectly then they would be the sharpest club in the UCL and would definitely win all the matches they face with ease!

The attacking trio owned by PSG is a trio that is actually quite sharp and dangerous, so far the MMN trio has managed to score 24 goals in the league and champions league, the sharpness of the three attackers will certainly increase greatly if all three can unite and throw away their respective egos as you said , but it looks like it will be very difficult to happen because I think at this time Mbappe will definitely feel like a boss in the PSG squad with the privileges he has, in my opinion, Neymar and Messi are now like servants who really have to give sweet bait to Mbappe and it can be seen from the many assists that Messi and Neymar have given to Mbappe, while Mbappe has not even provided an assist to Neymar and Messi this season.

The cooperation between the players is far to better under Galtier although we still see the selfishness of Mbappe sometimes but Galtier has successfully makes Messi and Neymar playing good again this season and Galtier too has been solved the conflict between Neymar and Mbappe which makes they can cooperated much better than last season and we can see PSG team in the good condition and the players can enjoy for every matches even i have to say for other competition such as champion league if PSG can consistent managed their performance i think at least they can reach to the final match

The conflict between Neymar and Mbappe has actually always existed in almost a few previous seasons like that but over time the conflict seems to disappear and they can still play well but will reappear suddenly and it doesn't happen once or twice, but indeed many times. -time.
But indeed this season Galtier seems to have given Messi a little more freedom than Poche in last season so he can run freely for now and obviously this has an impact on the form he is showing now.

There was no intrigue regardless of Marseille's results. The chances of PSG winning the title are estimated at 1.04. Even if PSG lose a couple of matches, they won't change much. For example, Bayern, which is now far from the first place, is quoted with odds of 1.14. There is no doubt that we will see a repeat of last season.

In current situation we have no clue for improvement in odds for PSG because clearly they are favorite and having big advantage of quality against all other clubs even Marseille and Monaco are not near them which are big contenders for staying at second and third spot so with this all they have nothing to do in French League like Bayern Munich is having the worst time in German League but still odds are 1.14 which are clearly indicating how strong they are and capable of fight back for title race even right now they are at fifth spot.

If any case we have results like these in French League for PSG which is not possible then odds could be not going to increase as we all know they are best and can do much better in coming weeks with their quality and big players which are currently in their squad.

If PSG got into a situation like Bayern, then the odds would increase, but not by much. The odds of Bayern when they started well were in the region of 1.05, and now they have risen to 1.14. PSG odds are now 1.04. On the other hand, I remember how last season, when it was already clear that Juventus had failed the season, according to the bookmakers, it was still the favorite. Sometimes even the bookmakers make mistakes.

The current look of the standings wouldn't change anything indeed. Even Marseille can't keep up with PSG throughout the season despite their doing a good job these days. There are some exceptions of course like Lille's incredible season and finishing it as the champions. But it is really difficult to see this kind of changes while PSG are maintaining their superiority to all of the teams in the league.

Marseille are trying to focus on the league championship more than the Champions League as it seems. Maybe they can follow PSG this much close until the end of the first half of the season as well. But after that I expect to see them starting to struggle about that. PSG would have a safe gap with them at one point and get another comfortable title. Of course this isn't the thing I want. I'd prefer a fierce title rivalry but it is really hard to see this often while there is a big difference between PSG and the rest of the teams.

One thing to note is that odds are given mostly based on the form of the team, the squad in the team and finally the current performance of the team. The odds of PSG will rise if they should be in the same situation as Bayern Munich it may even rise to 1.20 if Neymar, Messi and Mbappe got injured because they are seen as the match winners of the team. Bayern Munich had different odds when they started the season well, their odd were given according to the team they are playing against it was not 1.05 in all the teams they played against before they dropped form, as for bookmarkers, they only give odds based on the form of the teams regardless of the form of a particular team.

I would have been happy if Marseille had fought for the title with PSG this season. Then Ligue 1 would have become more competitive. But I think PSG will also win the title very easily this season. Marseille is playing very well right now though. But their squad is not as strong as PSG. Let's see if Marseille can maintain their consistency. But my prediction is that PSG will win the title easily and at least 10 points ahead of the second-placed team.

[BitcoinAccepted]

PSG are playing a lot better this season than last year. And then they easily became champions. It is actually inconceivable and almost impossible that PSG will not become a champion. And Ramos is now also in the back of the defense. This team can't really be beaten in the competition, unless they have a bad day. There is really no team that comes close. Of course there are teams like Marseille that can beat PSG once, but the difference is often made against other teams. Where Marseille has a hard time and draws 1-1, PSG waltzes over it with 1-6. They have a very strong line-up at all positions on the field. Individually, PSG is the best team worldwide. There is no longer any challenge in the French league.

Odds for title mostly having no signifying changes until we have big mess up like you are saying if these top rank players injured then surely they have reason for having changes but still not enough because we all know PSG is one of the most squads in French League, and they have enough replacements which can cover their loses and able to win this title without these three players even this hard luck if these three out with injuries on same time.

But, surely as Bayern Munich is having bad time this can happen with any team which can create some hype but no serious specially teams like these which are currently point of talk because these leagues are having no enough quality for challenging them and bookmakers also know this fact just because of this they are having odds like these which mostly call free money but for placing bet its never been ideal.

[Minecache]

And with Marseille finally getting a tie, while PSG winning, it is obvious that PSG is the first and intends to stay like that. People overreacted to PSG  a lot, and they shouldn't and it wasn't such a big deal, they assumed that Marseille could win the title like Lille did a year prior, and that is obviously not going to happen at all, look at the game and the result and you will see why.
I believe that the best thing to do now would be waiting for PSG to have even more wins, and they will do fine. It is overreacted, and PSG will show the world how "rich" they are, I mean they are good, but that's mainly thanks to the money they have.

There is no doubt that PSG is back in their rightful place where they belong. Naturally, I thought that it would only be a matter of time before PSG would be able to establish the lead on the table again, and I was right. There is no doubt that PSG is the undisputed king of Ligue 1, and the reason is quite simple. They have been winning for quite some time now. With the type of squad that they have, there will certainly be something of a surprise for everyone if they are not able to capture the league title this season. In fact, they should not even be worried about the title of the league as the main aim of PSG is, of course, to win the Champions League. It is because they already know that they are going to win the league no matter what.

I expect Marseille can playing more stable until the end of this season because PSG really need serious contender for race title and so far compared to other teams Marseille performance were quite stable until week 8 but unfortunately last week they were slipped and only get 1 point from Rennes and because Marseille chances on champion league is very slim so it's time to them focus at domestic league but the most test from them will happend next month that after against Angers and Ajaccio they will fight against PSG so this is the real test for their consistency

We agree, but the French league still has a very long schedule of matches. no one doubts PSG in terms of strength, they are a very strong team both in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League. but if in the middle of the journey two of the three strikers owned by PSG get serious injuries, then the Ligue 1 title seems difficult for them to get. i don't expect that to happen, but so far there is no strong enough competitor to break PSG's dominance in Ligue 1.

Well, speaking of the Champions League. there are many competitors who are on par with psg. In fact, some clubs such as Man City, Real Madrid, are more favorites to be the strongest candidate than PSG.

[emrecemsan]

I think that Marseille need to increase their scoring performance a little more. They are doing a good job for now by staying right behind PSG in the standings. But this might not go on like this for long if they don't get closer to PSG's scoring level. For example Marseille struggled quite much against Rennes in their last match. They had a really poor percentage of shots on goal. Of course even PSG have this kind of matches but Marseille don't have much luxury of doing this often. This would help PSG increase the point gap easily.

Of course there is a big difference in the attacking lines of these teams. Marseille don't have a dream trio like Messi - Neymar - Mbappe.    By the way I remember of course that Lille won the league title by scoring around 20 less goals than PSG. But it was a really hard-fought title. Lille must be grateful for especially their solid defense because they were the least conceding team at the same time. I don't know if Marseille can make the same effort they did.

It's no surprise that PSG are able to win Ligue 1 this season as they have been doing it for years. PSG's squad is very difficult to match by any team in Ligue 1, victory after victory keeps getting them closer to the title. PSG, who always dominates Ligue 1, makes it even more difficult for other teams to feel how beautiful it is to lift the Trophy at the end of the season, even PSG can lock the title before the competition ends.

I think even though Marseille looks more focused on Ligue 1 but that doesn't mean Marseille will be able to become a tough competitor for PSG, because if they can be consistent, of course Marseille has a mission to stay in the best place in the standings and the best is only for second place. If they are safe to be in that position, then they will also be able to put up a stronger fight in the Champions League. Although indeed, the chance to qualify from the group stage seems difficult for Marseille but that does not mean Marseille will just give up without any efforts made.

Most chances PSG will stay at top and then Marseille is going to stay at second spot which is regularly happening in French League even right now we have few more teams which are doing good job, but sadly these are not consistent which is having quality difference between top two and others but Monaco which was average in start of this season now having good fight back and after three matches win they are at fifth but Lorient and Lens are also having good time with their performance which is good signal for top rank teams hopefully after break we will have some interesting competition at top which give good entertainment and good fight at top.

Lyon were also doing good job but suddenly lost of three matches in a row having big drop in their place few teams which were very good in last season having the worst time with down in ranks and having poor start of this season is also giving them headache, but hopefully things could be clear in coming weeks.

Although indeed, the chance to qualify from the group stage seems difficult for Marseille but that does not mean Marseille will just give up without any efforts made.

First of all, a strong squad is needed to win the title. At the same time, the players on the bench have to be talented enough. Because if an important player of the team faces injury, the team needs a qualified replacement. Otherwise, the team will not be able to consistently perform well. Marseille may be performing well now. But their squad is not strong. At least they don't have a strong squad like PSG. And so I don't think Marseille can fight for the top spot with PSG.
Marseille's performance in the Champions League is also very poor. They lost both matches. And they failed to score in two matches. I think Marseille will be in the last position in Group D of the Champions League.

PSG don't need serious challengers to win the title, the weaker the other teams in the league the more chances PSG have to win the title, but actually the competition can get better every season especially because Ligue 1 also needs a good ranking in Europe.

Marseille's form so far has been very good and many expect them to be the most serious title challenger this season apart from PSG. The conditions are not much different from last season, but Marseille must maintain consistency. However, PSG still has a great chance to stay at the top.

[Boristhecat]

To my surprise bookies rate PSG as the second top contender to win the Champions League with 5.55 odds (Manchester City are the top contender with 2.85 odds). It seems to me that making predictions (or betting) in a tournament where there are elimination games is a rather pointless exercise, but the odds of the bookmakers show that most specialists rate PSG very highly. Although, on the other hand, Barcelona, which has not yet proved its strength with strong opponents, is estimated not much worse - 11.80.

Might even be surprising to you to learn that City, Bayern and PSG have been the top 3 favourites in the past 3 editions of Champions League, leaving out Real Madrid every season despite them appearing and winning in finals. Liverpool I always feel are rightly below top 3, despite also making 3/5 finals.

Now I understand that's because Bayern and PSG don't have good domestic competition, so bookies probably account for them being fresher in Europe, but City? Squad depth? Mega team?

If we've learnt anything from the past 5 season: don't bet on the top 3 favs.

Another factor due to which bookmakers give such odds to the favorites is the crowd that bets a lot of money on the favorites - bookmakers cannot take risks and give "real" odds, because if the favorite suddenly wins, the bookmaker may be in the red. It turns out that it is profitable to bet on a 4-8 team? What do you think? Plus, I'm sure that if you make such bets at the beginning of the draw, then during the tournament there will be opportunities to hedge the bet.

[KTChampions]

If PSG got into a situation like Bayern, then the odds would increase, but not by much. The odds of Bayern when they started well were in the region of 1.05, and now they have risen to 1.14. PSG odds are now 1.04. On the other hand, I remember how last season, when it was already clear that Juventus had failed the season, according to the bookmakers, it was still the favorite. Sometimes even the bookmakers make mistakes.

One thing to note is that odds are given mostly based on the form of the team, the squad in the team and finally the current performance of the team. The odds of PSG will rise if they should be in the same situation as Bayern Munich it may even rise to 1.20 if Neymar, Messi and Mbappe got injured because they are seen as the match winners of the team. Bayern Munich had different odds when they started the season well, their odd were given according to the team they are playing against it was not 1.05 in all the teams they played against before they dropped form, as for bookmarkers, they only give odds based on the form of the teams regardless of the form of a particular team.

It seems to me that if Neymar, Mbappe and Messi are fired today, PSG will still remain Ligue 1 favorites, and their chances will be about 1.3 - at the level of City, the clear favorite of the Premier League. As for the odds in individual games, they should not be seen as strongly related to the odds of winning a long tournament. Liverpool may be favorites in a home game against City, but they are listed 10 times worse as a contender for the championship. This is also true in the Borussia/Bayern pair.

French League have few teams those can do much better than current but sadly lack of funds and creativity having issues with them even French soccer authorities are unable to bring some better ideas and investment which bring better and interesting matches which is very important for this game and league like we have in England and Spain just ruled by one league for many years giving not good impression to fans with these sponsors also need good return for their investments, but things are not going to be good right now here.

Mostly we have two teams at the top PSG at first and Marseille at second which is boring if few teams like Monaco, Lille and Lyon can do better than certainly it's going to be interesting, and we can expect much better environment in this league which helps teams to bring quality and fans also feel happy because It's important for progress and better results.
