French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[EdenHazard]

Marseille is currently performing well in the league. It is not going to lie to you that I did not think they would be able to produce such a performance as this. It turned out that I was wrong and they are a very capable team. So far, they have played well and they seem to be the only team which has played well so far and who might actually be able to give PSG a good fight for the title. However, it is still very early in the game.

Last season their form was quite good and now I am quite surprised by them at the start of this season because they still haven't lost until week 7 this.
The presence of Alexis on the front lines created a new atmosphere for them and that was very good because indeed Alexis also got his instincts back as a striker here.
It's good to see them at the moment, hopefully they can maintain their current form because right now they can be the only hope to give PSG a fight.

RC Lens surprised me a lot and so do with everyone else i guess.

So far they are unbeatable as well ast the other two psg and marseille , both used to have a great track record in the past being and considered as a big club but rc lens? They are the dark horse and potentially become the giant killer , they beat as monaco though this season while marseille haven't meet a big team in the league , they just beat tottenham ten men in CL which yeah that's a huge achievement.

Marseille's run so far can be resembled to Lille's season which they became the champions in the league. However it is still very early to talk about such thing. We need to see how consistent they will be in the later stages of the season. They have a very difficult job to do against PSG's high dominance. There is even a match between Marseille and PSG in a few weeks. The performances in that game would give us some idea about how ambitious Marseille are in this season.

However it is still very difficult to steal the championship from PSG's hands in this league now. Marseille can only hope that PSG players have a busy mind with the Champions League. This might cause them to be prone to make more mistakes which would be a chance for Marseille to take advantage of. Tudor would do his best to keep the motivation level of his players high throughout the season. They are also in the Champions League of course but they would focus on the Ligue 1 more than PSG I assume.

Marseille is having a good start to the season, and we are all talking about how well the team is doing. There's no doubt that we are overlooking the fact that they are at the same point as Paris Saint-Germain. As a result, they are probably going to win a lot more games in the coming seasons. Probably this is the team that is showing some competition with PSG, and that's why everyone is over-expecting from them at the moment. It is my belief that they are not going to be able to accomplish what is being expected of them, and by that I mean that they will not be able to win the title.

Maybe not, I'm sure they will go down when PSG and some teams with good defense become their opponents. It is true that they are currently in a very impressive form where they have exactly the same points as PSG, but that will not guarantee that consistency can be maintained. While their performance is not good in the Champions League, it will have an impact on their domestic matches later.

At the moment I unfortunately don't want to talk about the possibility of Marseille winning the title, it's still a long way off and they have to prove their quality in front of the other big teams in Ligue 1. I just want to say, the fans have to enjoy this good moment.

PSG is one of the strong team we have in the Ligue 1, they have several keyplayers in the club. Kylian Mbappe pattern of game is quite different from Neymar and Messi in the club. He's stunning in his style of games but there's something about him I dislike which is his refusal to pass ball when given the chance to pass. Like the game they played against Juventus in the champions league, Neymar made an incredible assist to Kylian Mbappe which he converted it to a goal to open the scoring sheet. Mbappe would have record an hattrick in that game but due to his inability to communicate with Neymar and Messi on the pitch, he failed to scored to make it 3 for him. He needs to be humble like Messi and he should try to work with them, I know it's not easy to try to adapt entirely to new pattern.

The last game Lens vs Reims was also surprising, Lens squad although only 10 players they be able to get the draw result. Maybe you're right that Lens strength this time is worthy to be reckoned with, not only PSG and Marseille should be to discuss but Lens too. If on schedule we can see in the next month Marseille vs Lens, and see how this team is grow, will they be able to fight against the second giant, or not.

Had Deiver Machado not been sent off against Reims with a red card and had Lens had 11 players in the squad, Lens would have been able to pick up full points in this match as well. Since the start of the season, Lens's performance has been very commendable, Lens has been able to consistently perform well. Although they are 2 points behind Marseille and PSG, Lens has the ability to climb the points table this season. If PSG wants to win the title this season, they should perform seriously in Ligue 1 matches as well. Otherwise, they will slowly retreat.

Although they have equal points with Paris SG, we see that Paris SG scored more goals than Marseille. Both teams conceded 4 goals, but Paris SG scored 25, while Marseille scored 15. The fact that they have the same score heats up the race, but what I and almost everyone else thinks alike is that the champion of the league will be Paris SG. Marseille makes a good effort, but to be honest, I think Paris SG will be the champion team at the end of the league.

[rahmad2nd]

Everything is still very possible, the fact that both PSG and Marseille have the same points on the standings in Ligue 1.
The same points make the competition look more competitive in the race for the title this season, and changes in the standings can change at any time. As for Marseille at this time, they are quite consistent in their seven matches, their performance is quite consistent both in defense and in their attack, in the future it looks like they will not have many problems until the match against PSG.
But different in the champions league. Marseille must be defeated by playing against Tottenham Hotspur with a score of 2-0. as for PSG, everyone will agree that PSG's dominance still looks strong to win the title again this season.

If the equal points occur towards the end of the season then it can be said that the competition in the title race is very competitive, but if this equal point occurs now which is just matchday 7 then it cannot be said to be a competitive competition. After all, even though they currently have the same points but still, we will get the difference in the next few matches or at least until the first half of the season their consistency will be different. It's difficult to maintain consistency to perform well throughout the season and PSG, they have better main and second-tier players and with that, PSG will certainly be able to maintain consistency.

I didn't expect Marseille until week 7 of Ligue 1 to still appear consistent and have the same points as PSG. Of course it will be very interesting
if Marseille can maintain their consistency until the end of the season. But with the quality of players that Marseille have, I doubt Marseille
can play consistently until the end of the season. Let alone until the end of the season to appear consistent, for Marseille to appear consistent
until the middle of the season, I doubt it. Moreover, Marseille has a busy match schedule, just like PSG, Marseille also plays in the Champions League.
But in contrast to PSG who have better quality players and a better depth of squad than Marseille, so PSG are more likely to appear consistent
until the end of the season. Therefore I predict PSG will win the Ligue 1 trophy.

Paris Saint-Germain will also win Ligue 1 this year, in my opinion. They had won back-to-back Ligue 1 titles in the previous four seasons; this will be their fifth straight victory. PSG currently holds the first spot in the standings with 19 points.

It must be acknowledged that Paris Saint-Germain continues to be the most wealthy and materially superior team; even their trio of forwards, Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe, dominated the Ligue 1 player statistics earlier this season.

Marseille is playing well right now. In spite of this, it does not mean that they will somehow manage to beat PSG for the title of champions of the league. Taking a close look at the squads of both teams, we will clearly see that PSG has a far superior squad to Marseille when compared to theirs. I just hope that PSG will be able to perform consistently throughout the season. It is because of this fact that they are not going to be able to successfully defend their title if they do not act accordingly.

The main target of PSG this season is winning the Champions League title. With the way things are going right now, it's even harder to say that they're going to be able to defend the league titles successfully let alone win the Champions League.

marseille is a team that I see has great potential to overtake PSG as champions this season, their game has been very good since the season started. currently, they are facing frankfurt in the champions league, the result of this match will be a big thing for marseille, although I am sure marseille's target is not to win the champions league but at least they should be able to last longer in the UCL competition.

It is about experience and playing less selfishly. Many players have this default and with time, this attitude will be reduced. We cannot compare Mbappe to Messi or Neymar since their experience are very different.
PSG is not only the strongest team in Ligue 1 but I consider it the only hope for France to lift Champions League these years. Even in the other european leagues, it isn't obvious to see the other teams lifting something unfortunately..

I very much understand what is happening in PSG team, I will not be surprised if the club or the coach doesn't understand what is happening in the team. Let me explain it in simple words.
Every team builds their team around one big player even when their are other good players in the team. That is to say that the other players would be working for the person they built the team around.
Due to Mbappe's recording breaking contract, he is believing that the team should be built around him, even when Neymar and Messi are still in the team and active. That is the genesis of Mbappe's selfishness this season. Until that problem is solved, he will continue to be stingy.

Maybe because he's the youngest, Mbappe will still selfish after his age above them. what Neymar and Messi can do is supply, Always give him the ball until he's fed up and give it back to them. managing the star is difficult which Christophe Galtier has never done yet but if he treats the same with Nice, I believe he will be in trouble, just make him special and spirit if want the best.

PSG's gameplay would have stabilized if Mbappe could have avoided his selfishness. Messi and Neymar's performances are quite consistent. They are playing well. But PSG is falling behind due to Mbappe's small mistakes. He doesn't want to pass the ball to anyone. But if you want to play well as a team, you must have a good relationship with all the players. PSG may not have any problem winning Ligue 1 matches. But PSG's gameplay needs to be more organized if they want to win against the strongest teams in the Champions League. At the same time, Mbappe will definitely need to improve his bonding with the rest of the team.

Both have the same points and now both are at the top of the standings with the same winning record, the competition may look a bit tight between PSG and marseille at this time but I don't think it will last too long, so far PSG have been tested by facing big teams in league and champions league, while Marseille actually only faced teams that were below their level in the league, while in the champions league they had actually lost points in 2 matches, so I really doubt that marseille will be able to provide a strong resistance to PSG until the end of the season.

This is a very important problem for PSG because it has one player who has almost the same characteristics as Ronaldo, Mbappe must change his character to be better and be able to accept all colleagues at PSG for one goal to work as a team well, if Mbappe can't change his bad nature then his career will end like Ronaldo.

Mbappe is Mbappe in all his selfishness !!! Luckily PSG can still win, so he can still laugh. I am worried that the interests of the team for the Ligue 1 and UCL champions will be hampered just because of Mbappe's selfishness. this might be a fatal mistake PSG gave mbappe privileges.
