French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[D-law]

arsenal london has loaned left-back Nuno Tavares to france ligue 1 club olympique marseille. the 22-year-old portuguese made a move to the gunners from benfica summer and made 22 premier league games last season.

He is not as bad as you all think he is, the thing is he wants regular game
Arsenal signed a third fullback after him and it was well communicated he will have lesser chances
He will adapt fast since he is a strong type of player on and off the ball

The French super cup is due today between PSG and Nantes,  PSG are by all means the heavy favorite, valued at @ ~1.35 odds, but I've got better offer from Duelbits that I feel like considering, they're offering Lionel Messi to score at anytime for not the normal 1.90 Odds, 3.0 Odds, I think that's some huge valuable bet, I'll however wait very close to the game time before making my decision.

You bet early maybe one day before match begin and still given higher odds 1.90, I think will be different right now if you open several sportsbook. I did check on Stake just give @1.32 odds for PSG and you were very lucky because got @1.90, no doubt I think PSG easy win against with Nantes although have bad head to head last season where Nantes success defeated PSG. But have changed situation right now for PSG with new manager and will bring new tactical playing games than Pochettion, actually will looks stronger PSG for next season than Pochettino era although still not have change with player composition.

Odds @1.90 is for Lionel Messi to score but not for PSG win and since yesterday the odds for them hasn't change at range @1.3 and this quite low although some people said this is safe bet because PSG is going to win the match and this is could be first trophy under Galtier if PSG win but if you want looking for the higher odds i think you can make head to head statistics between both of teams as the reference and the records showed since 2020 final score everytime they met always have 3 goals margin or more so over 2.5 goals seems good too

Interesting to see Arsenal getting rid of him this quickly. I do not know if this deal is attached with "purchase by the end of the loan" type of deal, but I am guessing that if they liked what they saw with him, then they wouldn't really be doing this, meaning they didn't find him enough. Sure this could be a 22 year old kid finally getting some decent minutes and if he shows himself then he could find more minutes in Arsenal as well, nobody says it's impossible.
But, let's be honest, it's more likely that they won't do that and it would be very tough for them to do something like this. This is why I am not shocked about the current situation, would probably be him leaving for good in the long run.

Having said that, his performance in the last season was acceptable but nothing to shout about. He had 22 appearances, scored one goal, and one assist, and also has two yellow cards against his name. I know that the scorecard does not show the work that he put in. Despite this, I think he has done a decent job for a 22-year-old. I think this loan decision can be quite helpful for him because he is able to come back as a more mature player. He will be able to play better once he comes back to Arsenal again.

I am quite sure that he would miss a lot of matches if he did not agree to this move. But obviously, opinions may differ. I also think that he had made a few mistakes in the last season which led to Arsenal conceding goals. And Arsenal also did not want to take any kind of chance like that again.

I think Arsenal took the right step by loaning Nuno Tavares to Marseille. Because with the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Tavares will find it
difficult to get playing time if he stays at Arsenal. Although Tavares only played one season at Arsenal, but Tavares has proven he is
a talented player. As evidence, Tavares has often given by Arteta the opportunity to appear in the previous season. After all Marseille only
borrowed Tavares without a permanent purchase option, meaning Tavares will return to Arsenal after his loan period expires. Hopefully with
Marseille Tavares can develop better, so when he returns to Arsenal Tavares can become a mature player. Moreover, Tavares is still 22 years old,
meaning that Nuno Tavares needs a lot of playing time to develop his game. And a lot of playing time can not be obtained by Tavares at Arsenal
next season, then for the advancement of his career Tavares had to move to Marseille.

PSG will probably win against Nantes. I don't think it will be a tough game for them, although it won't decide anything. PSG have long been the best club in France and a regular winner of all the cups. Although the last time Nantes won PSG at home, it wasn't the Supercup.

It shouldn't be difficult for PSG to win against a team like Nantes. PSG have a lot of star players in their squad. Especially their attack is very strong. However, the defense is a bit weak. But Nantes is not too strong. Even if the defense is weak, if PSG plays an attacking strategy they will win easily and will be able to score several goals.

[Velvet78]

It is like there is nearly no very tough game in the league for this season as well. There are only few teams that can make difficulties for PSG when they play a home game especially. These teams might be considered like Monaco, Marseille and Nice the most for me. We don't know how this trio will start as well but I'm expecting them to be as much competitive as they were in the previous season at least. PSG would make a solid start by defeating Clermont comfortably.

Mbappe should have been sanctioned for bringing such childish behavior to the pitch
Neymar tends to be selfish but why will Mbappe say such outrightly to his face.
The both of them are good they can achieve it all at PSG

I see more selfishness in both of them and nothing childish about Mbappe. If a player wants to show his prowess on the field or his abilities when competing with other teams, I think that's very reasonable, but if it's more of the selfishness of the two of them, it means that they both need additional advice after the game.
In fact, if the two of them can cooperate with each other in a healthy manner, then whatever the team and the two of them want to achieve, I'm sure it will be realized.

I don't know if you remember it, but behavior like this was generated when Neymar joined PSG and collided with Cavani, and this generated some tension in the whole team, for me Neymar is the one who makes these things happen, and it wasn't I blow here, I remember that when he played for Barcelona, he always tried to take away or collect Messi's free kicks, of course Messi wouldn't let him, but it was annoying and funny how he insisted on doing what he wanted, sometimes I see that Neymar It's like those children who want to do everything and shine only he, this makes some players take some dislike for him, even though Mbappé is now the one who has more fame.

Messi is different this season. It feels like last season was his transition phase and he's ready to play like his good old days now. He was okay in friendlies and now in Super Cup he scored a classic one on one goal. Champions League is very different area and it takes more than a good squad to be successful there but in Ligue 1 he can score a lot more this year. Honestly he should play another 30+ goal season and forget last year completely.
Paris Saint-Germain look very though against Nantes, they will start new season with a trophy, that's for sure. It should boost their morale.

PSG  vs  Nantes

PSG now lead 1-0 against Nantes. Messi scored the goal in 22 minutes of the match. PSG are not attacking much today. They are keeping possession of the ball, and trying to attack slowly. PSG's match strategy has changed. Perhaps Christophe Galtier is experimenting with his team. Perhaps next season we will enjoy a new match strategy from PSG.

Neymar and Mbappe both want to be the best at PSG, sometimes tensions arise between these two players because of each other's selfishness. But speaking of selfishness, Mbappe is even more selfish than Neymar. This can be seen from the comparison of the number of assists recorded by Neymar and Mbappe during five seasons with PSG. Neymar has provided more assists than Mbappe.

Mbappe feud with Neymar could add to the crisis in the PSG squad. Christophe Galtier must unite their two attackers in order to work together to get positive results, he must make the (MNM) trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe more productive in scoring goals and assists for PSG victory. Moreover, PSG is struggling to get the UCL title for the first time, harmony between players must be created to achieve the goal.

It is going to be interesting to see how Lionel Messi plays in the next season. The reason for this is that his team is not willing to do things the way his previous team Barcelona did. I really don’t see PSG winning the Champions League, again. But I think Lionel Messi is going to play better, at least better than what he did in the last season. But now I think he should move on from that emotional drama that he had to suffer. And he should concentrate on his game. He also has the World Cup coming up. This is not the time for him to be sad. He has to work hard and improve. He has already achieved a lot of things in club football. So obviously the main target is going to be the World Cup. However, I expect him to do well with PSG next season.

PSG is leading with 3 goals to 0 vs Nantes after 60 minutes of the game. They are dominating and interestingly most criticised players last season: Messi, Neymar and Ramos scored a goal each

Ramos continues to match Messi in terms of goals scored at PSG 
PSG wins the game surprisingly easily today, but still, I continue to believe that given the low odds that the bookmakers offered for PSG to win, there was no point in making a bet. I do not think that Nantes will find the strength to at least slightly return the intrigue as Leipzig did yesterday.

[Ratash]

Psg with an overwhelming win in the french super cup against nantes with a 4 0 win neymar managed to score two and messi managed to grab one it seems that messi and neymar are on fire this season it seems that we will see the full potential of PSG Trio mbappe, neymar and messi.

[Pulsar77]

PSG have started too strongly to this season by a 4-0 Super Cup win over Nantes. Mbappe couldn't play because of being suspended but this didn't affect their performance in a bad way at all. I assume that Neymar's 2-goal performance in this game was enough to tell us that he was happy to stay here. Messi scored too which is another good news. As long as these two contribute very much like this they would be closer to the title in the Champions League too.

[LGD2Business]

Messi and Neymar pick up where they left off in Paris Saint-Germain. Even without Mbappé. It was remarkable that the match was played in Israel, while Paris Saint-Germain won the Super Cup for the 11th time. Why is the French Super Cup being played in Tel Aviv?
Anyway, PSG showed that they are ready for the new season. It looks like they will get a comfortable championship this season as well.

[FanEagle]

Weird that the first big game of the season already and another cup chance and another City lost. I am not saying that it was a bad one, but the odds were in favor of City and we talked about this and it was an "easy" 3-1 win for them, just like how it was in the FA cup as well.

I have to say this is getting to a point where Pep is a great manager, but he is a great one for league structure, he knows the ins and outs of the league and he won it so many times, but when it comes to "if you lose, you go home" type of games, dude is not good at all, he sucks. I guess that UCL could be pretty much the same this year as well, can't see how they can win it if this is how they will play.

They played very well in this match and this clearly shows that the difference for clubs in Ligue 1 is still too far in terms of the game and the quality of the players.
It's nice to see Sergio score in this match because at the moment he seems to have disappeared from my radar in scoring goals and now he is playing quite well.

[dezoel]

It was always known that PSG would have a very very easy time beating Nantes, it wasn't even close to each other. Messi and Neymar alone played so perfectly together that you would guess they played few years together before... wait that's exactly what they did, they were one of the meanest and best trios ever (along with suarez) when they played together. Sure they are a bit older now, but if you add Mbappe to this, we are talking about a team that doesn't have a match or an equal anywhere in France.

Why do you think they keep winning in ligue 1 each year and yet still fired their manager? Only teams that can be better than them is at UCL and that is where they are preparing, not Nantes, that is easy piece of cake for them.

[Velvet78]

I realized that I really missed the cooperation between Messi and Neymar. Their performances against Nantes today were really impressive. They just didn't even make people feel the absence of Mbappe here. This is very important for PSG now. When at least one member of this trio is absent they should still be able to do a great work like this. It is going to be important in the Champions League as well but I hope none of them experiences this when the team needs them the most.
