French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[imamusma]

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.

Apart from Ligue 1, you can see the same conditions in the Bundesliga. PSG lead the table for excellent team strength, while the same can be said of Bayern Munich for each season.

PSG has a boss who really wants to make this team the best. The other teams didn't have that much power, so it really wouldn't be good since the competition wasn't on that level only resulted in the single most dominant candidate.

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.

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.

That would be very unlucky and I agree that it would create a bit of a trouble, but even without Neymar they won before, and I doubt that one injury would matter, 2 out of the three stars getting injured could cause them to be worse, and end up maybe putting the title chances at risk, but how common is it that 2 out of 3 strikers would go out? It would be pure unlucky situation and I doubt it would happen.

If we are required to see two out of Messi-Neymar-Mbappe trio to go out before they could consider losing, that is a good way of making sure they are doing fine. I personally believe that they should not be worried  about it at all and they will win it for sure.

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.

With very strong finances owned by PSG, it makes it difficult for other teams in Ligue 1 to compete with PSG. Because one of the reasons why PSG
have always been able to dominate Ligue 1 for so many years, because PSG are able to bring in a lot of star players. Which other teams in Ligue 1
have not been able to do, it is only natural that this season PSG will win the Ligue 1 trophy again. Although in Ligue 1 there was a surprising incident
in the 2020/2021 season, when Lille won the Ligue 1 trophy. But that surprising incident is unlikely to happen this season, because I see
PSG's performance so far this season is quite good. PSG this season have not only played well in Ligue 1, but they have also performed very well
in the Champions League. So I believe that this season PSG has the possibility of winning the Ligue 1 trophy before the Ligue 1 competition ends,
but if PSG win the Champions League trophy I doubt it, because there are some other teams whose performance is better than PSG. Like Man City
and Real Madrid, I think they deserve to win the Champions League trophy more this season than PSG.

[Distraction]

I think that this is the most important season for PSG to achieve the Champions League title.

The reason why I think like this is that they might lose Messi at the end of his contract which is lasting until June 30, 2023. I think that Messi would like to wait until the last day of his contract to hope for an offer from Barcelona. He might want to get back there before his retirement. As far as I know Laporta said before that their doors were always open for Messi. Xavi would also like to see his old friend in his team again I guess. However it depends on the financial status of the team too. They have spent too much money recently so I wonder if they will be in some trouble at the end of this season. But they really seem like they can pay whatever amount they want whenever they'd like. 

If PSG lose one player from their trio then this would affect them really deeply for their Champions League title goal. Therefore they should do everything they can to win it this season for the first time in their history.

Ligue 1 will not become competitive, because Ligue 1 teams do not spend enough money to build their squads. All teams in Ligue 1 will be far behind when compared to PSG. However, Marseille has been performing very well this season. But I don't think they can continue this streak for long. But if teams like Lens, Monaco, and Lyon could play well then the league would become more competitive. Lyon started the season well. But they are now sixth in the points table after consecutive defeats in their last three matches. We expected good performances from teams like Lens and Lille but these teams disappointed us.

It's difficult to be competitive in a league where there is a huge gap in terms of players and club wealth.
This may not even happen because at the moment PSG is actually at a much different level compared to other clubs in Ligue 1.
They already know about it and seem to have made peace with it so it's not really worth it to chase the championship position but can still be below them and still be competitive in the top 4 positions.

Yes, they are very different when compared to Paris Saint Germain, they not only lost in terms of players, money, also all aspects that the team needs. This makes it difficult for us to find competitive competition here. How is it possible that a team that doesn't have everything that Paris Saint Germain has will be able to provide stiff competition. I can't think of that in Ligue 1 competition.

[rahmad2nd]

From first place occupied by PSG to fourth place occupied by Lens in Ligue 1, only adrift by a thin difference in points. it indicates that the competition in the French league is still fairly competitive, all teams that are below PSG's ranking, must fight hard so that the competition continues to run well.

it is not easy to break the dominance of SPG, which incidentally has very supportive financial resources.
However, that doesn't mean the teams below can't compete with PSG's squad. this is football, everything has grown into a very profitable business.

So, it's not PSG's fault if they have players who are far above average.

They are the best in Ligue 1 from their squad to their alternative players on bench. it is very helpful for them in a long season because one injured player or suspended player can not be barriers for them to achieve good results.

However, that doesn't mean the teams below can't compete with PSG's squad. this is football, everything has grown into a very profitable business.

PSG can be beaten in one or a few matches but it is harder for other clubs to beat them in a long season. However, even it is hard, it is still possible and we already saw how Lille got the trophy from PSG two seasons ago.

Ligue 1 doesn't have more big investors going into each team, so only Paris Saint Germain are showing up more because they have the money and good players that the team needs. Because it will be very difficult for a team to be competitive if the team does not want to spend money to get better players. That's why Ligue 1 is not so exciting and competitive in terms of competition when compared to other Leagues in every season. This season in Ligue 1 I have only seen a slight difference in the Marseille team from several teams with the same performance as last season.

Investors are more interested in choosing Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga because the four leagues are better than Ligue 1. After Nasser Al-Khelaifi buys PSG, there is no other wealthy investor who wants to buy a Ligue 1 club, now PSG is one- The only club that always dominates Ligue 1 because the squad is formed with money from the club owner. PSG ranks first as a club that has the most luxurious squad, it is natural that PSG always wins the Ligue 1 title because there is no other team that is able to compete with the luxury squad owned by PSG.

This is the biggest problem for the Ligue 1 indeed. It isn't like the English Premier League in which like nearly every team have a lot of money to spend on transfers. I don't know how but the Ligue needs to find a way to attract the attention of people more. This league is still way behind in the comparison among top European leagues. They need to increase the quality of the games. We are still watching so many boring games in this league.

I remember Monaco and PSG only which have built a really qualified squad so far in the league. Monaco don't have such squad now though when we compare now to their years with Falcao. As long as some rich people don't buy a team here it is nearly impossible to see different teams becoming the champions or even fighting for the title often. As a result this league can't reach high levels in the ranking in this way.

Investor want to get much profit when investing in football team exactly have choose between Ligue 1 and Primer League, have different with distribution of television rights is very large between the Premier League and Ligue 1 could be reason why many investors more interested invest with primer league than Ligue 1. Until several years after PSG acquisition by Nasser Al-Khelaifi still not have other competitor or investor want to buy Ligue 1 team and make competitive with PSG.

Only with PSG as Ligue 1 team have much money and easy make many transfer every window open, bring Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos and Hakimi last season become proof for PSG how easy get deal with start layer although have to pay higher transfer and salary accepted by them, not problem for PSG lately with extended contract for Mbappe and he asks most fantastic salary and looks not really problem for PSG financial.

It's clear that the Premier League and La Liga are the places of big investors. That equates to a lot of interest in watching the mentioned League rather than Ligue 1.
This is what makes there is no competition that can really spoil the eye. But for now Serie A presents an interesting spectacle in the standings, where the teams that were under the top 4 are now sitting in that place.

I would like to know how much profit (real and not using fake advertising contracts) PSG have when they spend space money on players  I think that the club is deeply unprofitable. As for the difference in points, I would look at the number of points lost - PSG have only 2 lost points in 8 games. This is a very good result and at the moment, out of the top 5 leagues, only Real Madrid has a better result.

It's difficult because at first glance it's clear PSG are very good in every way but inside them now it's clear there are some problems and not impossible as you say.
No matter how strong the advantages are when they see several players including special players, they obviously need more spending for this and things like this need good financial management so that they don't go down in the end.

[Falconer]

Losing one player in the trio is bad only if their combination is good for PSG. If they have conflicts with each other and their combination is not too good, perhaps missing one player can be better.

Fortunately, likely that we are seeing better combination and connection between them after the drama from Mbappe. Whether they can succeed, it will depend on how they maintain it in Champions League.

Mbappe must change his childish egotistical attitude. He is a talented player as one of the young stars, but if he always behaves selfishly which does not benefit his team then he will fade before he reaches his peak. Neymar and Messi are two more experienced players, they know what they have to do for the team and their friends so that the team's goals can be achieved. But if Mbappe does not always indulge his passions and selfishness, then the appearance of the PSG striker is really very scary.

I want to see how far PSG can stay in the Champions League this season and I also want to see how the three strikers perform in every game. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe would be great if they understood each other.

[emrecemsan]

It is really hard for the teams in this league to increase country coefficient very much in the circumstances. Because as most of you mentioned already, the Ligue 1 isn't getting enough investments and sponsorship deals. This is preventing the teams from having a much better financial condition to consolidate their squads with very qualified players. As a result, we don't see them being successful in European tournaments.

PSG are the only hope for the country now but even they aren't able to win the Champions League title even for once. Even if they achieve the title this season it is still not enough for this league. The Ligue 1 management don't seem like they are intending to take some action about this topic also. It isn't easy to increase the quality of a league in a short time period of course. But they can do this in time if they take the right steps to attract the investors here.

You said the right thing my friend,PSG remain the only team who have invested heavily in their team,and that's why they remain the only team who can win their tittle.Lack of investment into other teams has made the league seem like a boring one because when their is no competition and aggressiveness in the league,it makes the dominant team feel their is no other team in the league that can take the tittle from them,and it remains like that because no other team wants to invest in their club so that they can win their tittle.PSG are hopeful of winning this season's champions league,but it will still remain impossible for them to achieve such because they have not played in unity the way they are supposed to,and they still seem to struggle when they meet a big team.Those things must be corrected by them before they will be able to win the Champions league.

@hd49728 this might be Messi’s last season at PSG unless he decides to extend it for another year, hence I’m sure that he’ll be very keen to win the champions league with PSG because I feel that he’ll return to Barcelona in 2023. @Falconer this year too Real Madrid is looking very strong to me in the champions league, and PSG can only win it if these trio completely coordinate with each other otherwise they’ll be beaten once again.
