French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Boristhecat]

With the world's top players like messi, mbappe, neymar, sergio ramos, angel di maria, the best goalkeeper in the world i.e. gianluigi donnarumma and the best coach i.e. mauriciopochettino, I am very optimistic that they will award the French Ligue 1 title this year, because they have shown it right. his quality as a world class player with wins in every game played, PSG is currently at the top of the standings with 53 points from 23 matches.

No one doubts that PSG will become champions - bookmakers do not accept bets on this outcome. The only thing that will determine for PSG the success or failure of the season is the performance in the Champions League. If they do not reach at least the final, then this will be regarded as a failure. Indeed, in this case, it turns out that PSG lost 200 million euros (which Real offered for the transfer of Mbappe) because they did not receive either them or the Champions League title.

you exaggerated PSG's victory this time, it should be with the quality of the players that PSG currently have, PSG's game is even more classy, ​​frankly I am not satisfied with PSG's game against Lile even though they won by a score of 5-1, because of the game they  shown against lile very far from the of the quality of the players who are the world's top players, I'm sure PSG will find it difficult to compete at a higher level like the champions league, if the game is still watching like that, frankly I'm very fanatical about PSG hopefully in next week's match against RENNES the PSG game can be more developed,

I'm not exaggerating anything, the guys beat last year's champion by scoring five goals at away game. They are by far the leaders in the league and there is no team that can compete with them. After a year break, they will be champions again, everyone is aware of this. Rennes match will not be a very different result. Rennes goalkeeper Doğan Alemdar is a promising star candidate. Rennes squad consists of youngsters and they are having a very successful year. But they are certainly not close to PSG level.

I have observed that Messi hardly score goal ever since he got to PSG, he was lucky enough to secure a goal today. While, PSG has created a huge points gap from Marseille, who are currently at the 2nd position. They are definitely winning the Ligue 1 title this season.

Messi has a great match and has his second goal in Ligue 1. Congrats to Messi for his second goal there because it's better than no goal. However, it sucks in my opinion to see such legendary player like Messi only has 2 goals in Ligue 1 so far, after more than half of a season. There is rumour that he is not happy in PSG and might consider to leave Paris and return to Barcelona in summer.

No one doubts that PSG will become champions - bookmakers do not accept bets on this outcome.

Become champions in Ligue 1 is easy for PSG. They only lost one season (last one) in last 10 years and in this season, they are going to take it again. It is not their most desiring title which is Champions League, but Ligue 1 is a default and normal title which they must win in every season. If fail, they are loser in Ligue 1 and don't satisfy with themselves.

The only thing that will determine for PSG the success or failure of the season is the performance in the Champions League. If they do not reach at least the final, then this will be regarded as a failure. Indeed, in this case, it turns out that PSG lost 200 million euros (which Real offered for the transfer of Mbappe) because they did not receive either them or the Champions League title.

Champions League is very hard to win and in history so far, only Real Madrid can protect their title in 3 seasons in a row. None of other clubs can protect their title in 2 consecutive seasons. Barcelona even in their golden time, were not able to do it. So winning Champions League is a great success, not win it is not a failure. However, with PSG, if getting out of Champions League too early will be serious failure.

When playing in Barcelona Messi became an target man which mean all of players should be distributed the ball to him that's why Messi scoring a lot of goals and in PSG his not target man anymore because there are several star players in his position such as Neymar or Mbappe and also there are different style for playing between France league and Spanish league and not easy to change playing style after many years playing at Barcelona that's why Messi lack of goals in PSG

PSG have really destroyed Lille today by a 5-1 score away. This was really incredible to me. PSG were obviously the favourite to be victorious maybe but this result was not much expected by many people I believe. Lille had really nothing to do against them in this game. PSG got an important advantage in the first half already by getting 3-1 ahead. And they continued to play great in the other half too. In this huge win, Messi had a good role also. It was his day and he scored one goal and made one assist. I appreciate his performance as much as the performance of the team.

That was certainly a destruction and probably exactly what PSG needed to get in shape for the big Champions League games. Lionel Messi also scored once, they are in good shape now. We will see our first final of the Champions League very soon, even at this stage...

And this was a really good practice for PSG side by winning with a huge score before their Champions League game against Real Madrid. They browbeat Real Madrid by this performance and showed how strong they are in reality. And it was good to watch Messi playing like this. When he plays well like this, PSG can get much better results. Because he is one of the key players at the team and the main purpose of PSG to bring here was trusting him about helping the team win the Champions League especially.

PSG should be able to play more often like when they beat Lille, look very confident and the teamwork looks very solid. The victory against Lille was
really needed by PSG, especially since PSG managed to score 5 goals in that match. It is certain that PSG players will increase their morale and
be better prepared when facing Real Madrid in the Champions League competition. I see Messi has started to adapt to the PSG game, and is playing
very well by providing one assist and scoring one goal. So in the Lille vs PSG match, Messi really deserves to be the man of the match, PSG need
Messi to play like that to beat his rivals in the Champions League competition. Because in Ligue 1 PSG is unmatched and most likely this season
will be champions. Because PSG's main target is to win the Champions League trophy, so what PSG needs is that all their star players can play
consistently by showing their best performance in every game. I hope PSG in the next match against Rennes can show the same performance
when they beat Lille. If they can beat Rennes with a big score again, I believe when facing Real Madrid PSG players can be more confident and
hopefully can beat Real Madrid too.

I think Messi not playing as target man on Barcelona exactly he was be player with free position where he can take position left or right winger or become target men. When he still on Barcelona exactly Suarez as target man where Lionel Messi as left winger position side and have Neymar on right position. I think Messi have over age and not any expectation with him to score many goal on Ligue 1, exactly this competition is not really competitive like La Liga but Lionel Messi can show what his magic for PSG, maybe first season we can take it as reason but waiting next season how many goal scoring by Messi.

Yeah,no french team can match the players PSG has.
That's why I don't like the Ligue 1.All those petrol money thrown at PSG make them way more stronger than the competition.I really wish Lille could achieve something big in the UEFA champions league,but they are playing against Chelsea,so their odds aren't good.
Basically the rest of the french teams have to rely on their academies for creating good young players and selling them to the big teams in England and Spain.Gathering talented players from Africa and selling them is also a way for the french teams to get some revenue,in order to compete with all the petrol dollars invested in PSG.

First of all, the management of PSG does not expect more goals from Messi in Ligue 1. For this reason, although Messi is perfectly fit, he does not perform in all Ligue 1 matches due to various excuses. Also in a few matches I have seen, he did not take the opportunity to score from the penalty spot. Mbappe has taken penalty kicks in most of the matches.
PSG management wants Messi to perform well in the Champions League and help him win the Champions League title. And we have seen the expected performance from Messi in the Champions League.

We have left another week in the Ligue 1 and PSG had a great weekend. They played against Lille and it was considered as not an easy game by many people. But they got those people wrong by showing an amazing performance and destroying Lille by 5-1 in an away game. This was really great to watch and I loved Messi's effort also. Maybe he is not playing too consistent at PSG yet. But he is playing really great when he is in fine feather. This was one of those days. And I'd like to see at least the same amount of effort from him in their CL game vs Real Madrid in a week.

Lille performance this year was very bad seems as defending champion they cannot manage their performance because too many issue and some of key players leave the team so no wonder they will lose against PSG but indeed i didn't expect the score was very big and regarding PSG i think they will unstoppable this season to became the champion of Ligue 1 but the most problem from them currently on champion league that the owner had ambition to get champion league trophy which is still not realized

Yes, Messi made an assist and also scored a goal in that game, it was a very good contribution. If, Messi can still maintain that or can be even better then of course, I think the UCL match against Real Madrid at least PSG will guarantee a good result to be able to advance to the quarter-finals. I personally avoided betting on that match yesterday because for me, PSG still doesn't guarantee a win but the fact that PSG can win by a convincing score is great.

It was a great joy to watch PSG against Lille. This result was more than I expected from PSG. Lille were not even close to their look in the previous season maybe but I still didn't expect them to get a this much embarrassing result. They really don't seem like the last champions in the league. I get that this kind of teams don't have the chance to get even close to the championship very often. But they could have still done better than this. And PSG are continuing to literally own the league.

Surprisingly, many people still rate Lille as a champion, although now they are a regular team from the middle of the standings. But such a strange assessment has very pleasant consequences - bookmakers take into account the opinions of people and set favorable odds for a match where the result is obvious. For example, I said in advance that the odds of 1.85 for the victory of PSG are unexpectedly large and you can make money on it.

It was around 1.65 for PSG to win and was over 5 for Lille to win so it kinda make sense to actually wager on Lille because if you check the last 5 head to head, Lille won twice while one ended up as a draw. Given the fact that PSG is going to have a game against City next week in UCL, some people probably thought that Poch is not going to use his regular lineup hence Lille has a chance to win but yeah Lille was crushed in that game

[Mamun74]

PSG team big different than previous 5-6 years.Now they are more comfortable team and they play although match confidently. They have more Star player and thy played really well match by match.But I'm surprisedly to see rate,People still  rate Lille.But PSG have more advantage when they play Against Lille. I think Lille Don't close PSG. Lille performance really bad This year also.Champion Leaugue is coming After few days i hope PSG will won or draw 1st Leaugue.

[Balmain]

PSG widened the gap in points, its closest follower Marseille. If you ask me, PSG has already secured the championship in the french league. We need to discuss the second and third teams that are the league champions. This week, Marseille have moved up to second place with three points. If they continue to lose the fewest points against their strong opponents, Marseille can finish second this season.

I bet on this game so I know exactly what the odds were:



While I was choosing additional matches to increase the final odds, the odds changed from 1.85 to 1.83.
By the way, PSG plays in the Champions League with Real Madrid, but in any case, hardly anyone had this match in mind because there is still enough time before it, and if PSG had been trying to save energy for so long, it would be strange.

In barcelona messi was more of a winger. He wasn't the main stricker, i think messi was more pronounced in barcelona because he had a good team mate who played a 1,2 game style. If you watch closely Barca don't hold on to ball for too long, no much time to dribble except in cases of close marking. But in PSG every player wants to be the main point of contact and this is why they keep struggling despite having star players

PSG looks like they will absolutely win Ligue 1 this season and if we discuss which team will be in second or third place, it seems that it is still difficult to predict because the competition is still so fierce. Of course Marseille and Nice are the strongest candidates for 2 positions behind PSG, but considering that there are still many games remaining (15 matches), maybe we will see changes in the standings in the next few games.

Barcelona and PSG completely different clubs and have nothing common, so we can't compare these both Barcelona is really classical and have completely different environment and here in PSG they are along in best finances and having too many advantages in French League.

But, Barcelona having too many challenges recently they have done amazing job come from behind and now staying at fourth with having good chance to jumping into third, but we are talking about style of play which is also really great at Barcelona and PSG is mostly having few players those love to do things individually which is hurting them very badly with this mind and approach they are fail to have good winning combination despite having too many world-class players in their squad which can bring some lethal combination for many big teams but need change of mind set and better planning.
