French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[hahay]

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.

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..

That's for sure but I'm not sure PSG will go further to the final in the UCL, maybe to advance to the quarter-finals is still possible but for the next I just feel PSG is still not solid enough. There are rumors circulating that PSG will recruit Zidane as a new coach, if that happens then I believe Zidane will be able to provide many achievements for PSG in the future and not only be strong in Ligue 1 as it is now. PSG has a very good squad in every line both main players and substitutes, if PSG can change the right coach too then of course PSG will be a better team than now.

PSG will surely to have other Champions League finals if their owner don't give up and their finance will still be supported by big corporations, foundations behind. Although, we can not say the owner from Quatar will keep owning this club forever or will keep support the club with huge budget forever, I believe in next 5 years, they will still be in Paris and 5 years with top level players are enough to have another Champions League final.

They will sooner or later harvest sweet result like Chelsea. The first will be hard and challenging but then when they already have tradition and confidence, other titles will knock their club's Hall of fame naturally.

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.

You are right about that. Lille are not a regular when it comes to winning the Ligue 1 title. They just had a big opportunity last season and benefited from it in the best way. But still one can expect better than this from them. Now, they are just struggling too much and it is like they are hoping the season to end as quick as possible. As long as PSG care about the league this much, the other teams don't seem like they can have a chance for the title from now on. Something has to change to see the opposite happening.

The big investment of the owners and other companies behind PSG is not just because they want to get a title, be it a domestic title or the Champions League. There must be other income they expect from their investment such as sales of T-shirts, tickets and broadcasting rights so that their balance sheet is always guaranteed. I'm sure PSG will win the Champions League title in the near future once the team is in the hands of the right coach or they will be lucky enough with Pochettino this season if they reach the final. But Real Madrid is not an easy opponent to beat in the round of 16.

So far PSG and Manchester City are very hungry for the title of Champion League, but both failed in the final despite performing well throughout the season. The final match is not as easy as expected where there are times when the favorite team also loses surprisingly and that has happened many times in a long time. So, while PSG are still in the last 16 then they still have a chance to do so this season.

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.

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.

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.

The atmosphere between the champions league and domestic league matches is certainly very different, not all teams that perform well in the domestic league can display the same performance in the champions league, in my opinion, PSG is currently unstoppable in ligue 1, but for the champions league maybe they will undergo a lot of difficult matches and I actually have a little doubt if they can win the first champions league trophy this season.

In addition, the domination in domestic league has side effects. PSG are not challenged weekly by other teams so they can not improve themselves and hit or break their own limits. It is not big matter in Ligue 1 because they already dominate it but it is serious matter when they play in Champions League. It is like shock between domestic and Champions Leagues.

Domination in Ligue 1 is different and easier than domination in Premier League. I meant Manchester City have more chances to play with biggest clubs than PSG and they have more chance to win Champions Leauge than PSG.

PSG's match against Real Madrid in the Champions League is going ahead on Tuesday and Neymar, who is back in training. The availability of Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe mean that PSG has no excuses. The Champions League match is now on and Neymar is available. As he has not played for months, I doubt it will be hard for him to return to his previous level. There is a possibility Madrid will advance as they have Benzema and Vini Jr. In case Madrid gets the better of PSG, they won't have any excuse.

True man city play in the premiere league which is on another different level from ligue 1 i dont think psg team is able to win the champions league with the performance they showed until now but they have good players so even if they managed to do it wouldn't be a surprise i think sooner or later psg will win the champions league.

If I remember correctly, PSG has been consistently in the top ten clubs receiving the most income in recent years. The problem is to evaluate the net profit of the club. For example, Barcelona for several years in a row occupied the first place in terms of income, but at the same time it increased debts, since its expenses were also record-breaking. I don’t know how PSG has a net profit, but the fact that almost all of their financial indicators have improved several times after the sale of the club is for sure.

Despite having a strong squad, PSG's performance is not satisfactory. They should play better. The bond between the players of the team is not good. Moreover, the coach is not able to determine the match strategy correctly. PSG is a good team despite having a lot of problems. Since the team has a lot of talented players, they are able to play well against any strong team. And so PSG in the Champions League is completely unpredictable.

PSG's coaches have a lot of negligence. We have been seeing such irregular performance of PSG for a long time. But the coach has not yet been able to stabilize the team. He should have experimented more with the team. But I would say that despite having such a strong squad, their poor performance is only due to the inexperience of the coach. PSG management should look for more experienced coaches.

[alpamar99]

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.

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.

It depends on what kind of performance they do because it is certain that Nice and Marseille will definitely be struggling here. and if you look at the actual competition in Ligue 1 this will not be too exciting because indeed position 2-3 will only compete with 2 teams but for position 4-6 it may still be filled by several teams here because indeed they will definitely be struggling in the rest of the match .
I'm no longer interested in discussing who won because the results have been seen and that's for sure

It is basically about some players leaving when their value is at a peak after winning the title plus a few players getting covid right back to back making them never really be fully with their starting eleven for a long time etc.

However, at the end of the day they should have still be better than how they are right now. Like if they finished 4th or 5th then I would totally understand it because it makes sense, it is just a team that won and lost their precious players that helped them last year and dropped a bit in that case. However, they are doing terrible right now, like more than terrible and there is really nothing that makes sense for them at that point.

[coderben]

PSG are doing very great now and they owe the most of this success to Kylian Mbappe I think. He has been so great that he has made the biggest contribution to the team with his goals and assists so far. And they are under the threat of losing Mbappe to Real Madrid now. Because of this, their main goal is to win the Champions League title this season. I don't think that they can achieve this without him if he leaves. And unless they fill his place with one of the best players for that position now.

Since kylian Mbappe left Monaco and went to psg he has been doing well for the club. He has been using his strength to serve the club. Mbappe deserves all the praises you give him. But I do not agree that Mbappe leaving the club will make them not to win champions league if they want to win it. I remember that year psg played finals. It was only Neymar that fought the battle. Mbappe was no where to be found. I am not saying that he is not a good player, but what I mean in essence is that there are other big fishes in the club that can cover his vacuum. If he leaves, it will even make Messi and Neymar to sit up and repeat their Barcelona combination.

Still not have good thing what for Mbappe future keep stay with PSG or not because his contract ended on next June and not any negotiation or agreement extended contract or not. Madrid have out from getting Mbappe and waiting this player as free transfer after last window transfer PSG not agree with bid asking by Madrid. I think most bad thing if PSG can't give extended contract for Mbappe because he was become important player for PSG last few season until right now.

[BITCOIN4X]

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.

The league is by no means a title that PSG ignore, look how they let it go to other teams last season. This season it looks like PSG are indeed unwavering and so far have not been much of a threat to them which makes their chances of winning the title even smaller. A 13-point lead over Marseille is not a reason for them to relax in the League even though 1 defeat doesn't mean much.

Ligue 1 and the Champions League are PSG's two priority titles this season with Pochettino and they have to win them to prove they can win them too. PSG, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and several other teams are seeded in the Champions League this season, but unfortunately there is only 1 best team that will take home this title and show it off. So, today PSG will play another important match with the 5th ranked team Rennes. I still think Messi will get a chance to play the full game in this match.

If you look at previous seasons of the Champions League you will see that you don't have to have the best player in the world or even a top 5 player to win it. Yes, such monsters as Bayern or Real Madrid often win the league, but at the same time such monsters as City remain overboard, and such “labor” teams as Chelsea become champions. Mbappe will change the balance of power in Real Madrid's favor, but PSG will still have Neymar and a lot of other great players who, with some effort, will have no less chance of winning the Champions League than with Mbappe in the squad.

Real Madrid are a tough opponent for PSG, who they face on February 15, four days from now.
Most likely, the main players will be rested before the Champions League match.  Rennes will probably do their best to at least not lose this match.

PSG squad is very evenly matched between starting and reserves although it is very likely that they will not be in the main squad against Rennais I think PSG will still win easily in this match.
I say that because I see PSG back-up squad there are some young players who of course want to show their best performance and of course this is the right moment.
and the bookie opens odds 1.93 for -1 PSG I think it's very good to choose it, I believe PSG will win even though it doesn't win by more than 1 goal at least this match is very unlikely to reap a defeat choosing PSG.
