French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Lordhermes]

Marseille is still not strong enough at least to hold PSG to a draw, because Ligue 1 belongs to PSG because so far only PSG are unbeaten. But even though PSG is the strongest team in Ligue 1, PSG is still not easy to beat its opponents, at least it is evident from the wins that PSG do not always win with a wide gap. Therefore, maybe that is also one of the obstacles that PSG are not too favorites for the Champions League title but apart from that, PSG is still a strong team that must be watched out for in the Champions League as well.

In fact, the possibilities of PSG are already starting to raise questions for me - I don’t see them as a reliable consistently strong game against strong opponents (weak ones can be ignored). In the Champions League, they failed to beat Benfica twice in a row. If it was a separate match, then I would not pay attention, but twice in a row this is already a signal of problems. It is a pity that the next game will be against Maccabi and there the result is a foregone conclusion. The final game of the group stage against the crisis Juventus may show us what PSG can do.

They used to play too comfortble against average teams in ligue 1 and that makes them weak , i mean no factor to make this psg great team to keep improving themselves , they are in comfort zone all day all years ... as for the result , when they are out of these comfort zone.

They are struggling really hard to make an improvement overnight . So yeah no wonder.

Marseille put up a fight against PSG, but they made some silly errors that cost them the game. It's quite sad how Alexis tried so hard to do everything to help the team win the game; he was everywhere on the field.

Alexis was fantastic, but luck ran out of him. Marseille has demonstrated that they are prepared to win a trophy this year.

I think finally Kylian Mbappe has come to realize that he can't do it all alone without the help of his teammates Messi and Neymar that'why we saw that attitude of cooperation between him and them last night, a lot of people especially PSG fans complained about Mbappe's attitude but against Marseille Last night we saw a different Mbappe in the field of play, despite PSG not getting multiple goals but the ball communication between the attackers Mbappe, Neymar and Messi was spectacular and the assist that brought the only goal that gave PSG the victory came from Mbappe and Neymar did the finishing it was a night every PSG fan has been looking forward to and am glad that peace and cooperation has finally come to stay among the players.

Mbappe become the key for PSG defeated Marseille last match, considering not scoring goals but his contribution by creating assist for Neymar most important thing and rejected will all rumor speculation about him not happy with PSG. I saw how celebration goal did by Neymar and Mbappe looks both players not have any conflict or bad rumor was talking. Actually media make anything bigger than expectation because Mbappe is not ambitious player abd prefer with teammates working, rumors about Mbappe want to leave PSG at January transfer have to ask again after watching his contribution when PSG vs Marseille.

[dataispower]

It seems like Mbappe won't be leaving the team anytime soon. I mean at least there will be no transfer in January as he stated it that way himself recently. It would have been really interesting if Mbappe decided to leave the team in the middle of the season suddenly. Because he must be still aiming to win the Champions League title with PSG before leaving in the future. Maybe he won't leave even in the summer in case they get very close to achieving the title this season.

I don't include the probability of winning the title for that because I believe that he would definitely leave then. Because he would already achieve his biggest target with the team in the end. If he decides to leave I'm really confident that Real Madrid would be on the line to sign him before any other team.

Finally, if he still leaves PSG he will be moved and pressured to safe those min ago. Real Madrid can not come in back to get Mbappe
It's good to be a good, pleaded he passed the ball over to Neymar.
That was a good step to fend them much, first team first is to get rid of those big attitude be has he didn't come this far to to let those career funds raise his shoulder and crumbling him he in

The media seemed to exaggerate PSG's internal problems but the rumors that were created were successfully dismissed. another recent rumor is about the rift between PSG and galtier, there are speculators that galtier's future at PSG is not long as he is not friendly with mbappe. after all galtier is a coach and mbappe should listen to what he has to say, if he doesn't want to be managed then he doesn't deserve to be a striker.

Having a first assist in this season is good and it helps to reduce critics about Mbappe selfishness. However, he should make it more often, from key passes to assists. PSG need both goals, assists and good connections between Mbappe and other players.

In match with Marseile, we saw some weakness of Mbappe that he relies on his speed to beat defenders. His dribbling is not too good and when he can not use his speed, it is hard for him to run through defenders. His skills are far lower than Ronaldo from Brazil.

Actually media make anything bigger than expectation because Mbappe is not ambitious player abd prefer with teammates working, rumors about Mbappe want to leave PSG at January transfer have to ask again after watching his contribution when PSG vs Marseille.

Rumor is rumor and we can not trust or distrust rumor. Wisely we can absorb it as one of news but that's all. Before rumor is confirmed by real actions, it is still rumor. Mbappe will likely not move to other clubs after the World Cup. At least he will complete this season in Paris and PSG.

If anyone want drama, hot news about Mbappe, wait till next summer.

While in theory it should be like this,the player to obey the manager rules and decisions some players are simply highly skilled and have a class of its own and when such strikers do not agree with the coach,then the result is simple,most probably the coach will be fired rather than a player of such caliber.

Whatever internal problems PSG may have they are on another planet compared to all the other teams of the Ligue 1 in the French soccer and thus they are already Champions of it before the league has even started.Their main goal for this year is to win the Champions League,it won't be easy but sure the stellar player they have make you believe them to be strong contenders.

It is a pity that the next game will be against Maccabi and there the result is a foregone conclusion. The final game of the group stage against the crisis Juventus may show us what PSG can do.

Regarding the result in the Champions League against Benfica, it made me curious as well, whether it was purely because Benfica were indeed in their best form or there was something that maybe they planned to keep getting points so that Juventus no longer had a chance to overtake them. But apart from these suspicions, I also agree that it is indeed difficult for PSG to continue to get maximum results in every match, because winning by only one goal difference with the squad they have, for me it is not a maximum result.

In part, I really like this, because if PSG is in trouble to win, that does not mean that the team is making a mistake, it means for me that the level of football of the other teams in the French league is increasing, that although PSG It has many stars like Mbappé, Messi, Neymar, among others, they are not so comfortable, that means that things are going well in world football, for me it is a great success, this match between Marseille and PSG was not won. for a great result, they won it because it really cost them, but if Marseille hadn't been so bad, things would have been different, that's what comes to my mind the most.

But for me it is not, because if other teams in Ligue 1 improve to make it difficult for PSG to win or only make PSG able to win by a narrow score. Then PSG will be increasingly tested and of course have a good impact for them to compete even stronger in the Champions League, but in reality this is not the case. Because PSG in the Champions League doesn't seem to have had a big development to get stronger and that means they are still at the same level, or maybe they tend to decline a bit because over time they need more effort than usual just to score one goal.

Marseille put up a fight against PSG, but they made some silly errors that cost them the game. It's quite sad how Alexis tried so hard to do everything to help the team win the game; he was everywhere on the field.

Alexis was fantastic, but luck ran out of him. Marseille has demonstrated that they are prepared to win a trophy this year.

Alexis Sanchez is indeed a hard-working player and I really liked it when Alexis Sanchez played at Barcelona, and until now he is not young anymore Alexis Sanchez can still play with very good movements. But yes, a team win cannot be done with just one player and also, basically it is not easy for Marseille to beat PSG. What's more, PSG's team development makes it difficult for Marseille to beat PSG from time to time. Therefore, Marseille is still not strong enough to win the trophy because even, to stay in the top three Marseille really needs a bigger effort and it is not easy for them.

@hahay I believe that these two are key factors why PSG player’s are not performing that well: 1) the new coach has failed to unite this egoistic squad, 2) Mbappe status is causing discontent among the squad and the solution is to sell him and reinvest in other player or player’s. Furthermore there’s also talks of Messi leaving which has further distracted the squad, and if PSG wants to achieve success this season then it needs to put an end to Messi’s exit rumours.

[rahmad2nd]

Speaking of the Champions League, with these three dangerous strikers, PSG will always be a team that scares anyone.

PSG is always scary but is always doing silly mistakes that make it drop from every single Champions League tournament. This time PSG is very powerful comparing to the last ones, it is like whether you win it this time or never!
Overall, City, Bayern, Real Madrid are pretty good but appears to be less stable than the previous season, it is a golden opportunity imo.

No team has never made a mistake, that's natural.

PSG always try season after season to win the Champions League title, but it seems their efforts have not yielded the results the club wanted. this season, in addition to changing coaches, PSG brought in several players to strengthen in defense and add attacking midfielders. the results are quite satisfactory, until now they are unbeaten in all competitions.

as well as Real Madrid, they are still mighty by not tasting defeat this season.
PSG's chances in the Champions League are of course very big, they have three deadly strikers. whoever their opponent later in the next phase, will not play open. meaning, will prefer to strengthen the defense line. but can they get that title, let time will tell.

Benfica were also strong last year (by the way, they knocked Barcelona out of the group stage and reached the quarter-finals where they lost to Liverpool), but PSG are supposedly an annual contender to win the tournament, so they should not have problems with such averages. If they can't consistently beat average teams then what are the chances that they can beat at least a few top clubs to win the title? I think minimal. Maybe Galtier in some cunning way distributes forces for the whole season, but this makes very little sense because of the World Cup, which will break all plans.

PSG has all the potential to lift the UEFA Champions League this season but its greatest obstacle would be unresolved internal rifts. Kylian Mbappe is the center of all these challenges. He is gradually losing the support of the fans and the management. There are reports that he was booed by the fans during the Ballon d'Or ceremony. And there are also speculations that the club is willing to sell him, at the right price. He has claimed that he has no intention of leaving the club in the January transfer window. But I think PSG would achieve more without him because he is really causing division in the dressing room.

The news that Messi wants to leave is not a surprise to me. The club gave Mbappe so much privilege that he could conveniently disrespect one of the greatest players that ever existed. Yes, Mbappe has a glorious football future, but his ill behavior and selfishness can make him end like a player like Mario Balotelli.

True, there is no team that doesn't make mistakes, but how often do they make mistakes? that's what makes them labeled as a team that can not utilize its potential. They are one of those teams that have a star-studded squad, but they couldn't have gone higher. It would be a shame if they couldn't take advantage of the good momentum they always get in every season.

The root of the problem arises when one player is privileged by management while the other is not, selfishness can trigger a rift between players and this has happened at psg this season. mbappe as if he became the golden boy at psg. some of the rumors on social media that are circulating he will leave in the transfer window next season whether it's true or not. PSG are a strong team in terms of player quality, of course they are quite ready to be champions this season either in the domestic league or in the UCL.

It's not as if Paris Saint Germain are privileging Mbappe, but they really are privileging him and it's true that is the root of the problem. I don't understand why they decided to do that even when they wanted to keep Mbappe I don't think they had to do all those privileges. Even without Mbappe I believe they can still do well to win the League. The impact on their own internal problems now that are not harmonious is caused by one player.

I think Mbappe's situation is still very complicated. I don't think they can unite with Real Madrid, if they leave PSG, I think they will go to the Premier League. I think he has less chance of playing in Spain.
There are already minor problems with both the team and the fans. I'm still wondering how it can last until the end of this season. During the Ballon d'Or ceremony, we saw the reaction of the fans to Mbappe, which is not very pleasant

PSG's problems are still the same as in previous seasons and indeed in this case it is difficult to change things like this even though their quality is very good in terms of individual players but still they are still very difficult to make their dream in the Champions League.
I don't even hesitate to say they won't be able to bring back the Champions League season as long as they don't improve their internals.

[nara1892]

Marseille's 2 matches were not so good and should be 2 defeats in a row, it kept them away from Paris Saint Germain in the standings. This week they also got a tough opponent, Lens. Perched one level above Marseille Lens is a difficult opponent for Marseille. If you look at the statistics, these two teams are not much different in terms of strength, maybe it will also be a match that ends with sharing points from each team. If that really happened then Marseille would be further away from the leaders.

complicated because of his own fault. actually Mbappe is a good player, especially when he was in Monaco. But for some reason lately his behavior irritates many people.
Quality players are not just individual skills, but also the nature, character and mutual respect in a team.
mbappe still needs to learn a lot from all aspects, he will never be a great player if he is still selfish and childish.
messi deserves to be respected and liked by the team because emotions have completed all aspects.

If that really happened then Marseille would be further away from the leaders.

After a wonderful start to the season Marseille's form has started to drop down recently. I can understand the PSG defeat actually because it was really hard for them to get even one point away against PSG. They still resisted PSG well by conceding only one goal despite the red card. However I couldn't understand how they lost to a much weaker team like Ajaccio in their match home.

These consecutive point losses can cause bigger problems to happen but we will see. The Lens match is pretty tough for them and I'd like to add another thing like they lost their last two home matches against Lens also. Therefore it is difficult to trust Marseille as much as betting on them. But I might go for BTTS as I think that it will happen most probably.

It wouldn't be easy to make a guess, but it really depended on who would be his opponent in the next round. The knockout system will usually see big teams meet each other, it will be detrimental to one team because only one team will qualify. I think PSG will be smooth to the last 8 if the opponent is not too strong, and so on until the final. But not hard to believe.

Some of the top teams in my opinion are PSG, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Liverpool. I think one of them will make it to the final. For Ligue 1, PSG is without a doubt.
