French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Kusman]

There are two days left for the first game that we are going to watch Messi in it. But I would like to indicate that Messi is lacking match fitness right now. Because he was a free agent before coming here. And this transfer happened quite late considering the start of the new season in the Ligue 1. Therefore, maybe he won't play really awesome in this game. But it will be really interesting to watch him playing for a different team for the first time ever.

Honestly, I don't really pay attention to the Ligue 1. But since the departure of Messi and Ramos to PSG, I'm a little bit interested in seeing PSG play. If you look at the squad inside, they are a team with many stars. It can be said that PSG is a dream team plan even though some players are not young anymore. Last year PSG was in second place in the final standings, having one point difference with Lille. Actually, if you look at the composition of PSG's players, they are more favored, but it seems they are not lucky. This year I think PSG will win the Ligue 1.

Agreed. I wasn't following the Ligue 1 very much before. I just sometimes watched the games of the big teams in the league. But now, everything has changed for me.    As Messi has joined PSG, I've started to have an interest in PSG's next games with Messi. And I'm going to watch the Brest game as it's going to be Messi's first game with the team.

Lol.  Yup.  I was about to say that we’ll be seeing this thread get bumped more now that Messi is playing in the farmer’s league.    This thread was mostly ignored by the regs of the gambling section from what I have seen. 

And PSG will prolly be the favorite to win the CL at around 1.90 - 2.05 in the outright.

Last I checked it was around 3.5+ in most places, and that is good odds honestly because I believe there is a good chance they may actually end up winning. However just because the odds are good for what the real odds are, that doesn't mean that we should wait 8 months to get 3.5 odds back, I can go ahead and do that a lot easier in a week, just bet on 2-3 clubs that is favored to win a game and you get that anyway.

Only reason why people gamble on PSG to win UCL is the fact that 3.7 or 3.8 whatever odds there is, is not "favored to win" in regular games, it is usually the underdogs, so you get a 3.7+ bet while betting on the high favorites to win at the same time which is unique and that is why people bet on it. I do not know what else to say, sure Messi did played a role in PSG getting more famous but they were already getting quite good amount of players for free as well, they would still be a very high favorites even without Messi.

Now when making bets on PSG just pick so many goals,especially if they are playing with all superstar players. But to watch so many good players playing in one team is simply amazing. Especially to see them maybe in the Champions league

If Neymar is not as injured as he was last season, maybe this season PSG will break all records of their past goals. Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe have the ability to score a lot of goals. On the other hand, Di Maria will play in the midfield. He can also become awesome when the team needs him.

They will certainly be one of the favourites, but some of the other contenders have also improved... notably Chelsea, who won it last year, and now have Lukaku. Man City may also have improved with the addition of Grealish. And the other big teams will be a threat.

Once we get past the groups it is obviously a knockout competition, and so it is always risky to bet on a winner as it only takes one poor performance against a top team to end your chances.

[Maidak]

On the 21st PSG squad will play against Brest. This is Brest's home match. I hope in this match we can see the Neymar-Mbappe-Mesi trio playing together. We have been waiting so long to see it. Di Maria has played right forward in PSG for so long. Messi will now play in the same position. Di Maria will probably play as a midfielder in the future. I haven't seen any news yet on whether we will see Ramos in this match.

I'm not sure if Messi will play against Brest. Messi will make his PSG debut in the away match against Reims on August 29. PSG authorities have not officially made any announcement yet. However, I have seen in several news portals that he will be on the field on the 29th of PSG.

It's just a matter of time before he'll eventually make his debut, according to goal he was said to be in line for the game against Brest. However, the coach might just be taking his time and not willing to rush him to make his debut.

Based on the news I read, reported by Sky Sports, Mauricio Pochettino has set a date for Lionel Messi debut. Messi will make his first appearance when Paris Saint-Germain face Reims in the Ligue 1 match at Stade Auguste-Delaune II, 29 August.

Maybe we will be a little longer to see Sergio Ramos play with PSG, because he is undergoing treatment for an injury.

I think the debut of Sergio Ramos, Messi, and Donnarumma will be together. We can see these three players on the field together. Also, Neymar and Di Maria will probably not play in any match before August 29. We will see the main squad of PSG this season against Reims on August 29.

I haven’t checked the lines for the outright in the CL tbh.  It just feels like it’s gonna be close to 2.00 if I think about it.  But of course, it’s just my guess more than anything.  But yeah just looked...  And it looks like it’s at 3.7 at FJ and Stake.  Not sure at other books but you could shop for a slightly better line.

The coach may be giving them time to understand PSG's style of play. Since Messi and Ramos have been playing in La Liga for a long time. They are not familiar with the strategy of Ligue 1 or PSG. So maybe they're taking the time to understand the style of play. I look forward to seeing the friendship between Messi and Ramos.

I always enjoy Messi's style of playing. I bet, many people are also now interested in Ligue 1 because Messi is now in PSG. I can't wait to see him play he first match in Ligue 1. With Messi, PSG will probably win the league title this season, and might also win their first Champion League trophy. I don't see Lille winning again this season, they lose their last match against Nice and haven't won any match since the season started.

Tomorrow evening, PSG are going to play an away match against Brest. And it will be Messi's and Neymar's first match this season. I guess that there will be many people who are watching this match. It's about Messi of course. Otherwise Brest are not a tough opponent. Many people are curious about Messi's first performance. I've no doubt that PSG will win this match.

[Minor Miner]

Messi has been with Barcelona for a long time, he will have trouble adapting to the new team. There are many differences between the strategy of Barcelona and the strategy of PSG. However, since Messi has played with Neymar before, I believe it will not take long for Messi to adapt to PSG. Moreover, all the players of PSG are experienced enough. It shouldn't be too much of a problem to adapt to such an experienced squad.

I agree. As the strategies of these two teams are not the same, Messi may need some time to adapt. But having Neymar alongside him will help him a great deal to start playing like always at the earliest. I wonder whether the coach will prefer to put Messi in the starting eleven right away. I feel like he will.

With the help of Neymar, Messi will be able to adapt to the PSG team very quickly. Not just Neymar. Messi has experience playing with Icardi and Di Maria. Messi's bonding with Di Maria is good. On the other hand, since Ramos is from La Liga, Messi will not have a problem adapting to him.

Monaco had a really unlucky start to the season. They finished the league as the 3rd in the last season. But now, we see them having big problems on winning matches. So far, they have played 5 official games. And they were able to win only two of them which were against Sparta Prague in the CL qualification round. They got one draw and one loss in the Ligue 1. And they lost to Shakhtar in the CL qualification final two days ago.

But I think that it is time for them to get a win against Lens this week. I hope that they can pull themselves together soon.
