French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[emrecemsan]

PSG are already continuing on the road to achieve the title comfortably. Hence there is no interesting competition for the title now. But the biggest competition is going on for ending the season in top four now. There is a really big fight for the second position right now. Nice have lost the second position again to Marseille. But they have nearly the same statistics right now. The only difference is that Marseille scored a few more goals than Nice and that's why they have captured the position now.

With PSG gone from UCL and the team is in disarray I believe that the league will be even more harsh for them. I mean every team will want to take a bite out of them meanwhile their own players would be unhappy with the current situation and Mbappe looking to get out. When you are in that much trouble and you are not really doing that well, it is not really that easy to have a great result even against easier opponents.

Yes, they have been great in the league so far and have a lot of point difference but I believe that they could be hopeless about rest of the season and there could be a lot more "given up" results coming very soon.

I'm sure that PSG will have no problem finishing the season in Ligue 1. No team there, no matter how much they want to take a bite out of them, can't adequately compete with them. The only very unpleasant moment for PSG is that they have been eliminated from all competitions (even from the French Cup) and now they will be “cramped” in Ligue 1, which they have actually won. It will be something like a routine boring championship that you just have to wait. It's a sad situation for fans and players alike.

So sad PSG was eliminated in the champions league and their league cup, their fans are very angry right now to the extend that they were
even chanting offensive words to PSG players during their last match which they won. Yes it so sad but they should maintain their good performance so that they will be the champion of their league, no amount of anger, bitterness can bring them back to where they got eliminated.

It really doesn't matter to PSG if they win a ligue 1 game or not. Their entire team was built to win UCL and that is why the owner spent so much money on this team. If they only cared about the ligue, they would have played a lot better last season as well and kept the streak going. They only cared about the UCL because that is what the owner wants.
I guess with UCL gone this year, and 99% chance Mbappe will be gone next season as well, we are going to see them getting a bit worse overall. They still have Neymar and that is a great player to have, even if you do not believe that Messi could get it together next season, Neymar is definitely still great, but they will probably never be as good again.

It all depends on who will come to the club as the head coach, as well as what reinforcements the team expects in the summer and which players, on the contrary, will leave the club. Even Mbappe's departure does not look like a settled matter yet and there may be options here, the case of the extension of the contract between Messi and Barcelona has taught me to be wary of such cases. Now the information about the arrival of Zinedine Zidane as head coach and Arsene Wenger as sports director is quite popular. If this information is true, then PSG has a chance for a qualitative leap in development, because Zidane is famous for his ability to manage stars, and Wenger is famous for good selection work during his time at Arsenal.

Ligue 1 is only available for 2 clubs, I hope Champion League officials add a slot for next year because Ligue 1 is enough attractive with all-star football even though only PSG is dominant. The competition under 2nd is very tight, the different point not so far between Marseille. Nice, Rennes and Strasbourg. And Rennes is enough potential to beat Marseille if they hold the winning in a row. the surprise could happen when Rennes win versus Metz, and Marseille gets drawn versus Nice.

Paris Saint German are already on a clear stand to win the France Ligue 1 title. They are favorites to win it, because of the points gap difference they are using to top both Nice, Marseille and Renne. Although, PSG are not happy about their failure to qualify for the next round in the champions league after their defeat to real Madrid and they have been in great shock since then. They would need to improved in their game plans and tactics, know their mistakes and be able to resolved them before next season champions league. Meanwhile in the mean time  The only problem in Ligue 1 currently is qualifier for the the top 4. Renne, Nice, Marseille and Strasbourg want to qualify for champions league next season, and they won't allowed any team to bring them down.

Behind 15 points from 2nd position standing place Marseille I think could get early as the champion for PSG in this season and they only need 5 match later keep consistent get full points, I think PSG as favorite for the champion of Ligue 1 this season and they have this tittle only for champion after out from champion league and France Cup and I think bad performance from PSG in this season. Next week against with Monaco if want close trophy early they have defeat Monaco and get three points.

It's true, as you said, PSG is comfortable sitting in the standings, it is certain that PSG can lift the trophy early, for the second, third and fourth place it will be very fierce, Marseille, Nice, Rennes, Starbourg and Lile still have a chance to fight for it tickets to the champions league next season, even though lile is now in sixth place in the standings and has only collected 43 points, but lile still has a chance to compete, because lile is only 6 points away from Marseille who is in second place in the standings.

PSG is champions without any doubt but have rest of teams for European qualification is very interesting because now it's almost end of 28 matches and things are very interested after last night big win against Brest make Marseille a very strong candidate for second spot now their next challenge is against third spot team Nice which is also in good touch but if they lost or have draw then surely they are going to lose their place and Rennes with amazing form is going to replace as they are also having very good results in last few weeks.

With now Lille Strasbourg and Monaco is also trying their best for having some good place, but competition is very tough, and it's not easy for any team to have any spot without the best performance it's all need good quality.

No team will compete for first place in the points table. Because PSG is the most consistent of all the teams. Moreover, they are far ahead now. However, Strasbourg, in fifth place, is only 3 points behind second-placed Marseille in the points table. So all four teams have an equal chance of qualifying for the Champions League. The team that can be consistent now will be able to qualify for the Champions League.

It's true as you said PSG's main goal is to win the champion's league, the proof is that the club owners don't scold the players at all when they lose in their domestic league, but Nasser Al Khelaifi was very angry when PSG lost to Real Madrid in the second leg of the champions league, Nasser's goal Al Khelaifi brought Messi to PSG and was ready to pay his client's salary at a fantastic price, the aim was only to be able to bring back the champions league to PSG, but even though PSG have a lot of money and have star players, it can't guarantee them to win all titles.

Paris Saint-Germain 3 - 0 Bordeaux

with this well-deserved victory, PSG are practically champions, I think it's impossible at the moment to have any team that can overcome them, they are 15 points ahead of them against second place, PSG can already celebrate that they are champions. As for the other teams, I just hope that next season they will become very strong to be champions and Ligue 1 to become more competitive. funniest aside is that Neymar scored, but Messi seems to be in a crisis of not scoring goals

Messi scored only two goals in Ligue 1, although many said that he moved to PSG in order to make statistics in the farm league. Pretty ironic. If PSG continue to win and competitors lose points, then PSG will become the official champions in the 32nd round, this can happen in just 3 games. It looks just ridiculous, although for PSG this is a good achievement.

It was clear that PSG would be the champion, I don't think this situation will change. For another team to become champions, a miracle has to happen. PSG has no rival in this league, other teams are much weaker. But in European matches, this team could not play as well as expected.
Unfortunately, Messi is not doing very well, a huge disappointment for PSG

PSG's main goal was to win the Champions League. But after losing to Real Madrid, they were eliminated from the Champions League. PSG will have no problem winning the Ligue 1 title. They have already come a long way. 15 points difference between the second team in the table. At the moment it is impossible to reduce this 15 point gap. So even if PSG's performance is a bit weak now, they will win the title.

So i know it. Everybody knows it. Bookmakers do not even accept bets on this event. I misunderstood what you wanted to say.

So sad PSG was eliminated in the champions league and their league cup, their fans are very angry right now to the extend that they were
even chanting offensive words to PSG players during their last match which they won. Yes it so sad but they should maintain their good performance so that they will be the champion of their league, no amount of anger, bitterness can bring them back to where they got eliminated.

No, it was funny  And it's not that I support Real Madrid, but that such games show once again that you can buy players but you can't buy character. Therefore, any club (and especially one like Real Madrid) has a good chance against a money bag.

There is such a nice competition between Marseille and Nice for the second spot in the league standings right now. Marseille have captured the spot again after defeating Brest by at least three goals like 4-1. The competition is very fierce as the only difference is that Marseille have more goals scored than Nice in this season until now. And if I indicate a favourite team for the spot, I would choose Marseille to do this job. Because they just seem to be a little more convincing team to me. Nice can lose very easy games sometimes and this can cost them big.

[Mamun74]

PSG point table topper still now and big point gap others team.PSG played really well but UCL match they didn’t show Their best performance. Unfortunately PSG lost This match against Real Madrid. But PSG more Strong team in Ligue 1.Strasbourg still have to chance to closet point in Marseille, Nice and Rennes.I hope Strasbourg will be ended in top 4.

[jakdanyel]

PSG are continuing on their very boring run for the league championship now. I have said boring because they are so far ahead of their nearest opponent in the standings which is Marseille. A point gap like 15 points is really huge obviously. And there is no way PSG even nearing to losing their advantage. They will continue to dominate the league for more years unless some other team renovates themselves and sign solid players like PSG have done. Because we don't see a thing like Lille's being the champions very often.

Although PSG managed to beat Bordeaux with a fairly large score, it did not make PSG supporters happy. Because in that match PSG supporters
showed their disappointment because PSG were eliminated from the Champions League. It is very different from PSG's appearance in Ligue 1 which is
very dominating, PSG is indeed unmatched in Ligue 1 this season, the points gap with Marseille who is in second place is quite far. So the points that
PSG have are impossible to catch anymore, this is what makes some people see Ligue 1 as boring. Because indeed the winner is most likely PSG,
even though Ligue 1 still has a few more rounds to play.

I agree with you surprising things like last season in Ligue 1 where Lille won the Ligue trophy can be said to be very rare. So if want Ligue 1 to attract
more football fans around the world, there must be another team in Ligue 1 that has almost the same financial strength as PSG. So PSG have
a balanced competitor and make Ligue 1 more interesting, Let's just wait and hopefully there will be big investors who buy one of the clubs in Ligue 1.

PSG players were completely booed in their last league game. Not all by the way, but Messi, for example, does. Supporters are fed up with the team not performing and even if they easily become champions in the competition, the fans no longer care. We should also not be surprised if the owner of the club no longer feels like it, and starts looking for a team in the Premier League, for example. His patience is running out, PSG has been trying to win the Champions League for 10 years and it just doesn't work. The competition is not at all interesting for PSG.

PSG point table topper still now and big point gap others team.PSG played really well but UCL match they didn’t show Their best performance. Unfortunately PSG lost This match against Real Madrid. But PSG more Strong team in Ligue 1.Strasbourg still have to chance to closet point in Marseille, Nice and Rennes.I hope Strasbourg will be ended in top 4.

With the first spot being taken since the first weeks, all the fights are concentrated for the second spot for CL and the other european competitions.
Strasbourg might end in the top 4 if Rennes drops some points otherwise I don't think OM and Nice will leave the 3rd and 2nd spot easily.

You are right to have called it a boring run. I know the players especially the big stars among them like Messi, Neymar and Mbappe won't be happy playing the local league which they are well dominated. Their target was cut shut unexpectedly by Real Madrid. The joy is no longer there. They will continue to dominate the French ligue-1 until someone is ready to buy quality players to match the likes that PSG has. I am not sure that will be happening any soon
