French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[watergold]

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.

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.

It is clear that they are still occupying the position with points that are still above 40. Meanwhile, Strasbourg and Rennes are still chasing each other to take a position. It seems that PSG always cannot be caught up with their current performance if in the match against Rennes a draw will certainly not lose too many points.

PSG are just beyond the level of this league. It must be really boring for them to compete against these teams. Because there are literally no team that can put up a big fight against them for the league championship. And this makes PSG highly advantageous as they can become the champions by a very far gap. Lille finally put an end to their streak last season but PSG are back to their usual shape again. And it looks like this will go on like this until some other team in the league power up by adding big names to their squad.

It seems that PSG always cannot be caught up with their current performance if in the match against Rennes a draw will certainly not lose too many points.

They are 13 points ahead of the second team in the points table. So if PSG draws in a few matches then PSG will not have much problem to win the title. Of course, the Champions League is more important to PSG now than the Ligue 1 match. So PSG will rest their key players against Rennes. Rennes has a good chance to score full points against PSG. If Rennes is able to play well, they will be able to beat PSG.

I think there will only be two clubs that will indeed fight for the 2nd place until the end and that is only Nice and Marseille because they are the ones who have been quite consistent this season.
As for Starsbourg even though they are quite good but I doubt they will be able to survive until the end and indeed I feel they will only be in 4th or 5th position and that could be their best position this season.

It seems that PSG always cannot be caught up with their current performance if in the match against Rennes a draw will certainly not lose too many points.

Don't forget AS Monaco, which is currently under Rennes and Strasbourg with a slight difference in points . It looks like PSG's match against Rennes will be a bit interesting, although I believe PSG will win with the supporting factor of playing at home.

I think there will only be two clubs that will indeed fight for the 2nd place until the end and that is only Nice and Marseille because they are the ones who have been quite consistent this season.

It's not impossible that Strasbourg, Rennes or AS Monaco will be in 2nd place in the standings later, as I said before that there are still 15 games left in Ligue 1, there are still many possibilities that will happen, maybe we can start to guess who and who will be in a certain position if only a few matches remain.

I agree with that. Sometimes I think that PSG, Bayern, Dortmund, Ajax and some other top teams in these leagues should create a mini regional tournament to maintain certain level, since the competition in their leagues aren't that top, other than EL, CL and their respective leagues of course
13 points difference right now is something incredible

Still possibility for Nice get the same points with PSG although now gap many points, maybe you can see what happen with Lille last year first they have gap points with PSG, but last several match when Ligue 1 ended they can make surprise and defeated PSG before become the championship. I think PSG is not consistent performance and have chance for every club get dominance on Ligue but now waiting how can do by Nice as second position team, PSG have champion league match and they will not full team on Ligue 1 for this months maybe good moment for Nice to make points not really far.

We can say that Psg became the champion for this season. Psg is 13 points ahead of the nearest team. They don't lose matches easily anymore. They smashed Lille, which won the championship last year, this year. They won 5-1 away in the last match played. It is very difficult to stop Psg now. They will definitely win the championship with their players this season. They also have a chance to win the Champions League trophy. My guess for the second place is Marseille.

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.

I think that PSG getting that win was obviously important but Messi getting along with Mbappe and both of them scoring was a bigger impact deal. With this game, maybe they will get to play a lot better together? I mean the league is easy, they will win the title without a doubt and it is not even a thing anymore, there are bookies paying that out already, and have been for a few weeks. The deal is that, they really need an UCL, if not then this team will have a hard time, plays may leave, Messi getting older, you can't really just hope for the best with the old team they will be left with. I hope that they can get what they want or if not then at the very least keep it steady to try it again next year.

Okay maybe that can happen but they have to make something so that it can happen.
The current performance of Monaco and Rennes has not seen its development and is still ordinary, nothing special.
For the struggle for a position from 4-6 maybe this will be able to but to be in position 2 is still quite a difficult thing.
For Starsbourgh themselves indeed they performed quite well and even this season may be their best season but indeed sometimes things like this are difficult to see the future, if you look at last season they were a little shaky at the end of the season and if this happens again this season now then I can't guarantee they can survive there.

If Rennes is able to play well, they will be able to beat PSG.

What Rennes needs at the moment is a score to get past Strasbourg, which is only 1 point difference to take 4th place. On this occasion, PSG which will not lose too many important players or main players, must be able to show Rennes as much as possible. Like the previous game, Rennes had to stay focused on building attacks.

Stopping PSG from championship this season is impossible for the teams in ligue 1, now PSG have left their rivals quite far and it can be said that 99% of PSG will be able to win the Ligue 1 trophy in end season, for the championship ligue 1 maybe no one doubts that PSG can do it, but to win the Champions League is certainly a difficult thing in my opinion, because even though PSG are currently filled with star players, of course they will be up against the best big teams from other leagues in the europe.

I think that PSG getting that win was obviously important but Messi getting along with Mbappe and both of them scoring was a bigger impact deal. With this game, maybe they will get to play a lot better together?

They play well together in my opinion. No issue between them as I see but each of them have own issues. Messi is not happy in PSG and we all know about that. Mbappe wants to leave Paris to join Real Madrid and again, we all know about it.

I mean the league is easy, they will win the title without a doubt and it is not even a thing anymore, there are bookies paying that out already, and have been for a few weeks. The deal is that, they really need an UCL, if not then this team will have a hard time, plays may leave, Messi getting older, you can't really just hope for the best with the old team they will be left with. I hope that they can get what they want or if not then at the very least keep it steady to try it again next year.

Messi has only 2 goals in the league and it is a damn bad stats but he does play well enough there. He is only lack of luck with 7 shots on goal bar or pillars. I know even if he had scored in all of such shots, he would have had less than 10 goals in the league and still is a bad one.

Fortunately, Messi still shows his skills in Champions League with 5 goals there. He is hope of PSG in the big clash against Real Madrid in Champions League. With all things happen in PSG and in Barcelona, I think we might see Messi returns to Barcelona sooner than expected months ago.

In fact I can guarantee they will be champions this season because, as you said, there is nothing more teams in Ligue 1 can do other than let them be at the top because this is not an opponent to play against and PSG is in Ligue. 1 is too Overpowered with a squad depth like that.
Talking about UCL they will be a little different even I feel that against Madrid they will find it difficult even if they go home early

It is true that Messi has poor scoring stats this season with PSG in Ligue 1 as he has only managed to score 2 goals in the 13 matches he has played exclusively for Ligue 1. But as a top player he is still a dangerous player in his opponent's defense if he doesn't get a marker. tighter than several players at once. Apart from scoring 2 goals, Messi also has 7 assists so far with PSG in Ligue 1. But maybe not so bad as Messi has only made 13 appearances this season in the league.

So far I firmly believe Messi is not the star of PSG so he has to prove he is still a good player to compete with other players in the squad. Messi's assist record is only beaten by Mbappe who is in first position with a total record of 9 assists. So Messi still has the chance to be the player with the most assists this season for PSG because the season is still quite long.

The problem of PSG now is no longer the wining of the France ligue 1 title. Their problem which has always be their problem is the Champions League. This time around they have plenty good players who also have the idea or experience of Champions league but their major problem now is that they did not get easy draw. They have draw with people that are also very very hungry to win the Champions League and the people also have good players. I will watch that match with some cool drinks that day. Let the best win.

Honeslty Nice makes sense, but aside from that I do not think that top 3 would change, maybe Nice goes to second but thats it, first place is already guaranteed, the other teams outside of top 3 will only be fighting against each other. I know that there are plenty of games left but teams that are at the top wouldn't suddenly become bad teams that end up losing, that is not really that easy. Could it happen?

Well, technically speaking it could happen of course, depends on Marsielle or Nice to end up losing but that is not really a common thing if you ask me, it is not really going to be that easy for them to be displaced from their positions in the league right now.

Certainly, PSG will win the Ligue 1 trophy. They have played quite well in the League and was able to secure 56 points from 23 matches. This shows how superior PSG is in the Ligue 1. While, winning the Champions League won't be easy for  them. No doubt, they have a great squad full with talented players. But, the Champions League is a ground where you will face other tough teams from different League. Although, their focus are mainly on the Champion League title, because they have probably not won the League in the history of football.

I’ll second that PSG has won the league in style, and even if there’re games remaining now it won’t matter as they’re winning it by a huge number of points. Furthermore in champions league they’re not guaranteed to win against Madrid, and if they fail then Poch may leave but if he beats them then he may just get a new contract from PSG, so he’s definitely under pressure heading into the champions league fixtures.

PSG is still firmly at the top of the standings from 23 matches PSG managed to collect 56 points, while their rivals marseile and nice only collected 43 and 42 points, it is a pity that the defending champion lille is now still in 11 standings with only 32 points, with a landslide victory over Lille can be confirmed that PSG can be crowned as champions, I think it is very natural that PSG won the French Ligue 1, because they are inhabited by star players, PSG now have to fight in the champions league, because the opponents they face are very strong and experienced , because we know that real Madrid is the king of the champions league, if PSG manages to bring home the champions league title I am very sure that the PSG boss will definitely give a big bonus to the players..
