French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[AndySt]

what you say is true, currently messi's age is 34 years and his performance is decreasing day by day, there is little hope for messi to shine at PSG now like when he was at barca when he was young.

At his age, Messi is still able to show good performance and I think maybe it's just his speed that has started to decline, but in terms of agility and also creating opportunities it is still the same as Messi when he was in Barcelona uniform, so far Messi has been comfortable in Barcelona, so if PSG is too expect too high on messi in his first season of course that won't happen, because after all messi still needs adaptation to understand the game in the french league at this time, I think even though it's still beyond expectations but at least messi has helped PSG attack line become better.

I agree don't expect too much from Messi in his first season with PSG, because even experienced players have to adapt first when playing in a new place. Moreover, Messi, who has been with Barcelona for a long time, needs to adjust to the PSG game. Therefore, it is still natural that in his first season Messi has not been able to show his best performance. I think we can at least assess Messi's performance next season, which Messi should have started to adapt next season. Regarding the age of Messi, who is 34 years old, that is not necessarily the cause of Messi's declining performance. Because 34-year-old Karim Benzema can also make a big contribution to Real Madrid, so give Messi a chance to prove himself that he can still show his best form with PSG.

I also think that it is not necessary to dramatize Messi's first season at Paris Saint-Germain too much. On the other hand, we realized how much Messi's game was adapted specifically for Barcelona and La Liga and that the transition to another championship was not painless and was accompanied by big problems despite the presence of high-class players nearby in the Paris Saint-Germain squad. 34 years is not a sentence for a player of such a role as Messi and he can continue to benefit the team for several more years, just the most important thing is to use his opportunities and advantages correctly, because it is perfectly clear that he will not be so effective in pressing and selecting the ball. Although, of course, it is difficult to expect the same achievements from a player at this age as 5-10 years ago, still you can't deceive nature.

PSG won their pre-eminent rival, Marseille 2-1 in the parc de princes home stadium. Their victory was as a result of luck, because VAR ruled out William Saliba goal, which could have levelled the scoresheet. The game was full of fouls, Paris Saint German have a total of 16 fouls while their guest, Marseille have 12 fouls, therefore making it a total of 28 fouls. The game was too tight for the home team, and half of the team, 6 players were issued straight yellow cards. Even their key players Neymar and Mbappe were also among those that were issued a yellow card. The away team, Marseille dominated the game but unfortunately of them they failed to close the gap difference between them and Paris Saint German. Currently now, there's nothing Marseille can do about the League 1 title because it has already belong to the best team in their league.

No doubt age factor is having impact on his speed but still he is one of the best playmaker in soccer game and have ability to change any game with his own stay and creating opportunities here in PSG he is fail to play like Barcelona because it's his first season after very long career at Barcelona, and he also fails to adopt French way of play which is not his style, but one thing is sure as he is doing hopefully if he stays here for one more season this could be great for both PSG and Messi because now things are going in positive way for them, and they can do much better than current level. 34 is still good age, and he can play few more seasons with this all and have very good impact with his experience and abilities.

I think not age factor why Lionel Messi can't have impressive performance with PSG trough in this season, depending with Pochettino where Lionel Messi almost play as second striker. Lionel Messi have different function on PSG than Barcelona because he always become service how give contribution for Mbappe and Neymar scoring goal, different on Barcelona Lionel  Messi always got service from other player to score goal. Still can't show his best performance if PSG keep extended mbappe and Neymar for next season and Lionel Messi will as on second striker position.

If you talk about goals disallowed then actually PSG also had goals disallowed, it was Messi's goal disallowed in the first half too and even if the goal was confirmed then PSG lead 3-1 at haftime. This win is still not a lucky win, and I don't agree with that, Even though I'm not a PSG fan but if you say it only on the one hand it's like an assumption that is very biased, whereas in reality I'm sure it's not.

PSG 2 - 1 Marseille, nothing special tho
PSG needs to win another game + either get a draw in another game or see OM dropping 2 points to be declared the winner of Ligue 1 very early. The title might be lifted soon in the next 1-2 rounds

If Marseille lose points in the next round and PSG win, then PSG will immediately officially become champions. But I must say that in yesterday's match, Marseille looked worthy and clearly better than what the bookmakers estimated it to be.
It is a pity that PSG did not have a single competitor this season and, in general, the championship turned out to be rather “empty”. I hope things change next season.

Ligue 1 needs to have some solid investors, like in PSG case, to see other teams improving by signing new players.. Otherwise things will continue the same.
Last season Lille did good and lift the title, this season they were a normal team. Marseille is a good team but inconsistent, dropping much points.
If you remove PSG from the list, Ligue 1 look competitive but unfortunately the gap is big between them and the others.

You are right. There are several good teams in Ligue 1. But due to lack of adequate investment, the parties are not able to improve themselves. Teams like Marseille, Lille and Lyon could have recruited more talented players if they had received adequate funding. And they would become stronger. The PSG team spends the amount of money to build their team, no other team in Ligue 1 gets half the amount of funding. And so almost every season we see the dominance of PSG.

Because of an Achilles injury Lionel Messi is likely to miss PSG's potential Ligue 1 title-winning match against Angers. I wish quick recovery before then. Regardless of whether it implies you playing for ten minutes. Messi is clearly struggling to showcase his genuine performance however we're confident he's going to come back strong next season.

Besides messi, neymar is also rumored to be missing the crucial match because neymar is reportedly suspended, but if it's only facing angers of course losing messi and neymar is not something that can prevent PSG from winning and if they are lucky they can inaugurate the trophy ligue 1 in that the match, if marseille loses another match Later, it will not be surprising if PSG is able to win the current championship trophy because the competition in Ligue 1 is not competitive at all.

Yes, the gap between PSG and the rest of the clubs looks huge, but it's not all that bad. It's just that this season there was a decline in all competitors (like in Serie A), so the advantage of PSG looks too obvious. On a larger scale, the French championship is similar to the German championship - one super top club, and the rest are trying to grow.

There is no doubt about this gape is widening between PSG and other teams which is having some negative impact on overall league but here French Authorities also need to do some better work for having good results and more entertainment which bring some good investors.

As we all know few other clubs have good owners but sadly recently they are not investing as they need to do like Monaco which was good club but recently fail to do any good impact and now having poor season but good thing now they are into top six which will bring some good for them same happening with few other clubs where need some good investment which bring some good and quality players and this could be to create very healthy competition. Sadly currently we have two leagues which are ruling by just one teams like Germany and France which is not good for them and soccer fans.

Marseille were not that good at all even though they seemed like better than the first half. Having two shots during the whole half is not good statistics obviously. And none of them was on target either. Because of this, I believe that they deserved this 2-1 loss. PSG did nothing in the second half but still managed to win this game. Even this is a proof for how strong they are compared to all of their opponents remaining in the Ligue 1. Marseille continue to watch them from a position far behind. They are just trying to keep the second position now.

PSG managed to secure full points after defeating second-placed olympique Marseille with a score of 2-1 through goals from Neymar and kilian Mbappe made PSG further away from olympique Marseille in the league one standings this season, his own goal was created in the first half which made the match a bit so boring in the second half. second, where olympique Marseille only recorded one shot on target despite controlling 58% of the ball position, I also feel this is not a balanced game considering the quality possessed by both teams, of course PSG deserve to win and become champions at the end of the season

Messi is not listed as an injured player according to Transfermarkt's report, and it is likely he will be available for the game against Angers. Talking about achievements, it looks like Messi is greater than Ronaldo after moving from Barcelona and will get his first Ligue 1 title this season, and as we know that currently Manchester United with Ronaldo are in sixth position after being beaten by Liverpool.

[MinMan]

At this point it really doesn't matter for them anyway. I mean I get that everyone would want to see Neymar and Messi playing, they are great players but PSG is already champions and the rest of the games could be played with anyone in the team, put the staff in and they will still be champions.

So, it is not really that important for the results, it is important for fans who paid money for those tickets to go and see some games, but that doesn't mean that they should be playing on crucial games like these where it is so important to win . I mean they are missing useless games anyway, better to rest them and have them come back next season and play much better.

[Velvet78]

Monaco - Nice game seems to be an interesting one tomorrow. It can be very competitive as these teams are very similar to each other now. Nice are only one point ahead of Monaco now but the form difference is too much these days. Monaco have been on a winning streak of four games. Nice were able to win only one time in their last five games. Their last head-to-head game ended in a 2-2 draw. But this time, I think that Monaco are really close to winning. Maybe both of them can score but the winner would be them at the end.

Here, the Tribune reports, Messi is likely to miss not only his next match but also the rest of the season due to injury. Critics criticize because there is no injury. They just saved him for the World Cup. However, the league is already won. Aside from the league, PSG has nothing left to play for; on the other hand, Messi still has to play for Italy in a champion-vs-champion match in June. I think the injury rumors make sense with him heading to the World Cup later on.

[LUCKMCFLY]

victory against marseille may no longer be affected by their position at the top of the standings because of the large difference in points, but not so with marseille who are currently in second place, the victory against PSG further strengthened their position in second place and also further away from being chased rennes which is ranked third.

PSG will only close the season with a number of wins and record goals for their players because the title is almost certain to be theirs this season. The win is important to maintain the team's performance and prestige, but I think the mission now is to achieve individual player achievements such as top scorers and top assists.

I don't think it would be interesting to follow PSG's match for the rest of the season given that they are quite far from the competition, they are safe analytically and chances are but maybe not mathematically yet.

I know what you're talking about, and in reality it's not just their perception, there's a certain lack of flavor from PSG as they were being eliminated, I think for me that PSG hasn't assimilated yet that they've been kicked out of UCL, because they don't know he sees no motivation, of course they did the motivation and they worked from the beginning of the league, to see so many stars gathered in a single team, where he is the most criticized in the world, not only by his coach and team leader, also for each player's reputation they are good.

For me PSG will not lose any, but I think they have to recover that beautiful game that we all want to see.

It is a fact, Messi is going to go to the World Cup. As much as it is, there is still a long way to go before the World Cup happens, an injury can take him out of the entire championship, which I really think would be an incentive for him since he is very attacked by the whole world due to his poor performance, honestly it is the King of France for being at PSG, but it is a throne won by Mbappé and no one can deny that, so an injury of this type is not frowned upon by him.

I think less contribution from Lionel Messi on last match PSG vs Marseille have possibility for Messi without injury and he played 90 minutes on latest match and looks not have chance for Messi got injury. I think that true with gap 15 points from Marseille exactly PSG have been closer as the winner on domestic league and they can play with second composition player to get 3 points on next match. But disappointed for PSG fans because they want to see Lionel Messi can scoring goal after bad performance on this season.

I'm also really looking forward to the Monaco vs Nice match, the two teams are really competing to be in the top 5, so that next season can play
in European competition. Although Nice's position is better than Monaco's, but Nice's form is very bad in the last 5 matches. While Monaco, who is
in 6th position, began to find its best performance by winning 4 consecutive wins, so by looking at Monaco's performance which is better than Nice.
I predict Monaco will beat Nice, moreover, the match will also be played at home to Monaco, this also makes Monaco increasingly a favorite to
beat Nice. But maybe my prediction is wrong, because Nice can now be in 4th position, it's because Nice is very strong team, so there is a possibility
that the match will end in a draw.

He will definitely do this because even with the injury condition I think he will still push himself for it. we know that some time ago he also did the same thing during qualifying, it's not impossible that he will still do things like this.
Well, actually, the appearance that is made fun of by most of the fans in my opinion is a bit too exaggerated now, but indeed when the megastar and one of the goats do it, it is certain that there will be a lot of conversation.

I disagree that he’s faking a injury, and with those high wages being paid to him I don’t think PSG would allow something like this, hence for me this news is totally fake unless there’s credible proof to prove that he’s not injured. Also his presence will definitely boost Argentina, but I’m not expecting much from him at the World Cup because he’s not been the same charismatic player since he left Barcelona.

Lionel Messi's interest in scoring in Ligue 1 has been low since the start of the season. Although the team got a chance to take a penalty, he did not take the penalty. He wanted to do well in the Champions League and Messi's performance in the Champions League was good enough. However, we have lost interest in watching PSG matches. Because they have been eliminated from the Champions League. And PSG is almost certain to win the Ligue 1 title
