French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Velvet78]

Literally perfect start by PSG to the season. It was just a wonderful performance from them that it helped them finish Clermont by 5-0 at the end. Messi and Neymar were just incredibly awesome. Neymar got one goal and three assists while Messi was scoring two goals and making an assist as well. I know of course that the opponent was much weaker than them but this kind of games and performances help the players motivate themselves more to play better and better as time goes on. This is crucial for the Champions League in the end.

Bayern won with 5 goals difference in Bundesliga and PSG responded with another 5 goals difference victory in Ligue 1! As you said, that was a perfect start and will make fans wonder how far PSG will go in CL mainly.
For Monaco, they ended their game with 2 goals to 1 vs Strasbourg. A tough match with a good reward for Monaco but also for the ones placing a bet on it.

that's a really good beginning of a season for PSG even without Mbappe, Ligue 1 is still not really concerning the team and the fans, there no big competition for it, Messi is getting more comfortable with PSG, and playing alongside Neymar really helped because they know each other pretty well.

It was an absolutely amazing performance. I was blown away by Messi and Neymar's duo! There were two goals and one assist for Lionel Messi, while Neymar contributed a hat trick of assists and one goal. Both Messi and Neymar are regaining their best form. It was a very spectacular night. We want Neymar like that. It is absolute magic when he and Messi are together at their best. Messi smiles and laughs at training, now he is doing wonders. Especially with the world cup just around the corner.

Paris Saint-Germain made a good start to the season by making a goal show. Scoring 5 away goals against Clermont is a great success.
…
They will be champions again this year.

Paris with 18 shots on goal and 5 are in. That good and nearly every 3 shots was a goal. And yes, they will be champions in France this year, i don't see any team that has a chance to beat Paris. Maybe when they have a bad day, then they have a chance. It was nice to see that Messi was the player that so many missed last season. Neymar and Messi: simply brilliant.

Honestly PSG played great. Their gameplay was excellent. Christophe Galtier has been able to improve very quickly with the team. He strengthened the bond between the players. Also, Christophe Galtier's match strategy was very good. Leandro Paredes' assists to Messi in particular were outstanding. PSG's performance as a team was good. To continue the such performance, PSG can play well in the Champions League.

PSG's performance in the match was amazing, I watched every second until the game ended and it's true that the Messi and Neymar duo made a sweet result for the first 3 points at the start of the season. Hakimi scored, but unfortunately Ramos failed to capitalize on his precise header as it was saved by the goalkeeper.

Messi's performance this season looks to improve as he has scored more goals in various matches. During pre-season, he scored 2 goals in 2 matches from 4 PSG friendly matches. Then he also scored 1 goal when PSG won the Trophee Des Champions title against Nantes with a score of 4-0. Of course it will be good for PSG, he looks more excited than last season, but I think he is still better because this is the first match for PSG in Ligue 1 this season.

Probably Clermont can just not take the field against PSG today, the result will be about the same. I think PSG will easily win their first game, especially against such a weak opponent. I expect PSG to score at least 2 goals, but I think there will be more, and the hosts won't be able to do anything against the billionaires from Paris.

PSG has scored 3 goals already and overall good performance from PSG team. Outstanding performance from Neymar. He have scored 1 goal and assisted 2 within halftime. In the second half they have enough chance to make the score 5 or more.

PSG is playing really good and so impresive at start of the ligue1 i dont know if Clermont is really weak or PSG is just too good. PSG is also playing without Mbappe and they dont need him as how PSG is playing. Impressive play from PSG today and they might score more

I think it's difficult to assess the quality of PSG's play in this game. It's simply the game of a super team that can probably be considered the best and most expensive in the world against an outsider who has just moved up to Ligue 1 from the lower divisions. Probably no one here doubted that PSG would win this game without a problem.

PSG and before the arrival of Galtier beat all rivals in Ligue 1 without any problems, I don’t know if there is a big merit here, he just joined the team. But I want to note that with his arrival, Messi began to score, maybe it's a coincidence and he just got used to the team, or maybe it's the fruits of Pochatinno's work, but we won't know this anymore since he was fired before the start of the season. In the Champions League it will be the same as every year, PSG will easily reach the 1/8 finals or the semi-finals, and then as lucky. )

PSG performance in ligue 1 is not in doubt at all, galtier or pochettino and even whoever the coach if still with the existing squad as it is today PSG will remain the ruler in Ligue 1, as long as there are no strong and rich rival teams in ligue 1 then domination PSG will never be broken, I don't think PSG will have a difficult season in Ligue 1 like the previous season but for the Champions League competition I think they still won't will be able to get the trophy

[dwminer1]

PSG started the season very well. It's good to see the biggest stars in shape from the very first match. I admit that I really like the new PSG player, Vitinha. He runs a lot, looks for the ball all the time, goes out to pass. I wonder how it will present itself against the stronger rivals.

[bering]

Marseille will play against Reims today that Marseille seems had a problem for forward side because during friendly matches they only can score 1 goal from 4 latest matches and seems new manager Igor Tudor still find the best strategy for Marseille but their opponent Reims isn't strong team even last season Marseille can beat them without any problem so i'm waiting Marseille performance under Igor Tudor and regarding bet option although Marseille had unstable performance lately but i think they still have good chance to win the match so bet for Marseille win seems good choice

[Distraction]

There is no surprising result for PSG as expected. They erased Clermont by 5-0. There was a big quality difference between these teams of course but it is important for boosting their morale anyway. Mbappe had an injury but it didn't change anything for the team thanks to the great Messi - Neymar work. It is awesome to see them starting to play like in their Barcelona days. The team will expect to see this in the Champions League also as it is the most important part for them.

PSG made a great start to league 1. He defeated his opponent with a result of 5-0. In this match, Messi and Neymar turned it into a show, and it was clear from their faces that they were really enjoyable even at the beginning of the match. Messi's last goal is so epic. A clean check followed by a clean finish. These two are really playing football as if they are dancing. I am very curious about how they will be against more difficult opponents in the champions league this year.

It's a great start for Messi and from this, I think Messi will have a better season than the last one. At least he will be able to score more goals than in the past season. What Messi experienced in the past season is weird. So many shots hit goal bar or pillars and rejected too many goals for Messi. He looks more comfortable in his second season there and the combination with Neymar is great.

Let's see the combination of the trio Messi - Neymar - Mbappe in coming weeks. PSG and Messi won't have much challenge in Ligue 1 but they will have lot of things to do in Champions League.

PSG under Galtier is playing like a whole team. Connection among their players look better and the general sentiment is positive. If they can continue it, it would be very helpful for the club in this long season. To achieve Champions League, they must eliminate internal conflicts and together aim at an ultimate result, the Champions League trophy.

Paredes faced with risk to leave PSG but finally he stays in Paris. I think he is a good midfielder who can provide a balance between attacking and defense for PSG.

[hahay]

Nothing surprising with PSG's big win even though they played away, even the surprise looks like PSG would be better off without Mbappe, maybe. I'm just curious whether if Mbappe is in this match PSG will still win big with clean sheets or not, or maybe PSG will still win big but not clean cheets, no one knows. It will still be waiting for the next matches when Mbappe is in the team, but what is clear is that PSG are already too strong to compete in Ligue 1 like Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and there is nothing strange about that.

PSG played perfectly Even though the other one star players did not play but PSG's game under the care of the new coach was very impressive. And the new players are also very good. Will PSG continue like this in its game?

We will see the dominance of PSG in Ligue 1 and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. This was predicted before the start of the season. Because they spend the most money in their league to organize the team. But I am looking forward to seeing how they will perform on a platform like the Champions League. Because both teams are more interested in winning the Champions League title than their own league title.

Mbappe is not a defender, so why are you insinuating that if he played that game psg may not have won with a clean sheet, it is not mbappe's job to stop opposition from scoring, it is his job to score goals, so i can't understand how his presence might have made Clermont score in that game. Mbappe has been doing good things for psg for a long time now, and that is going to continue, the team is better with him in it, than without him, he may have some ego problems, but as long as it does not affect his performance on the pitch, then the coach and fans will be fine with him.

[judas]

It was very delightful to watch PSG in their first league game. Messi and Neymar were absolutely amazing in this one by scoring and making many assists. Their Barcelona spirit might be back now or I'm just exaggerating it because of being excited.    I hope I'm not because PSG will need this spirit to win the CL title as well like some people already said here. When Mbappe comes back they will be much better. I don't know if he is injured now but I hope he can return before the CL starts.

Great start for PSG with their new coach, they deserved to celebrate this big win. The chemistry between Neymar and Messi looks very strong, 3 of the 5 goals that PSG have scored in this match were born from them. PSG need to maintain a strong chemistry between players when they play in the Champions League to show their quality as one of the strong teams, PSG must be able to impress and go further in the Champions League.
Now a big task awaits Christophe Galtier, he must answer the trust placed in him by leading PSG to the UCL Final and winning his first trophy.
