French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[onecall123]

PSG won the game by only 1-0 even there was still quite a lot of time after Marseille got that red card. Messi was able to play after an injury but he didn't score or make an assist. There was a Neymar - Mbappe cooperation which was interesting. Because they have had some problems between each other so far. But it is nice to see this not affecting their individual performances badly in games.

Things have been going bad for Marseille for two weeks. Two losses in two weeks isn't good at all. I can understand the one against PSG but can't as for the Ajaccio game before. They will face Lens home next time which are another tough opponent after PSG. They should prepare very well for this one to end this bad streak.

The cooperation between Neymar and Mbappe is cool. It is a first assist of Mbappe for other players in this season. It is a good start for him to find real happiness and improve his connections with other players.

The best part of the match against Marseille was the cooperation we have demanded for a long time. It was a Kylian Mbappe and Neymar combination that scored the only goal in Ligue 1 against Marseille.

Neymar has been improving over time, I must say. Obviously, Neymar will perform with Messi around. Neither injuries nor reckless behavior will be tolerated. It has been a while since we have seen him at his best since he left Barca, let's hope he avoids injury. Several good chances were created by Messi in the game, but most of the time the ball was passed away from him. Therefore, things should improve.

We got a chance to enjoy a competitive match. Marseille players tried their best to earn points in this match. But because of Donnarumma's excellent performance, Marseille's players were unable to score. Marseille proved with their performance in this match that they will continue to fight PSG for the title until the end of the season.

Mbappe did not score in this match. But his performance was excellent. He made an assist to Neymar. So has Neymar and Mbappe's conflict been resolved? Mbappe was very effective throughout the match. He made a total of 7 shots in this match. If Messi, Neymar, and Mbape can continue this form then they will do well in both Ligue 16 and the Champions League.

If Mbappe, Neymar and Messi will continue to work together as they did last night, psg will go very far in champions league. Mbappe played excellent football and I must confess that Neymar is a machine. That guy is in another world of football, every of his moves gives me joy and makes me love football the more. The entertainment and the zeal he puts in football is much. I love Neymar

[herurist]

With the composition of players like PSG today, I wonder why they were only able to win 1-0 against Marseille, it seems that marseille has memorized the strategy launched by PSG

Don't know if PSG's game has been read or indeed they haven't returned to the way they were before because we know in the previous match they had a bad result against Reims.
But indeed this narrow victory was able to bring them 3 points and of course this is quite good I think.

It is true that having achieved the 3 points is something very good, but the question here is:

with that way they play where they can't score many goals, will they go far? in the champions league they can be removed if they don't improve.

I'm not going to talk about something that is really difficult for them to do
PSG is a big club but only limited to Ligue 1 because indeed for the Champions League it is clearly different because even if they have a good squad and can be said to have big names but for the Champions League this doesn't mean they can compete well as long as they can't play with good teamwork.

The only PSG goal was scored by Neymar thanks to an assist from Kylian Mbappe, this victory at the same time dismissed the situation that had previously heated up. with this result, PSG widened the difference in points with Lorient who finished second with 26 points.
overall PSG played very solidly, Messi contributed a very crucial role in orchestrating the team's attack. as well as Mbappe, he played very well and dispelled the negative rumors that always linked him.
Mbappe actually has a chance to score, because he is in a shooting position. but he chose to pass to Neymar, the goal was scored. with that he replied, that he too could play professionally.

I agree with your opinion. Mbappe gave a very good response to the criticism of selfishness this week. I think everyone agrees on this. He was really in great harmony with Messi and Neymar. If this harmony continues, they will not lose the French League championship to anyone. Maybe they can also become Champions League champions. We're talking about one of the best offensive lines in the world. Such a result would not be a surprise for them and for us. PSG will remain an undefeated team if Christophe Galtier continues to manage to keep this successful offensive line in harmony.

[hahay]

Marseille is still not strong enough at least to hold PSG to a draw, because Ligue 1 belongs to PSG because so far only PSG are unbeaten. But even though PSG is the strongest team in Ligue 1, PSG is still not easy to beat its opponents, at least it is evident from the wins that PSG do not always win with a wide gap. Therefore, maybe that is also one of the obstacles that PSG are not too favorites for the Champions League title but apart from that, PSG is still a strong team that must be watched out for in the Champions League as well.

In terms of appearance, I see it is a fairly balanced performance between the two teams. However, with the red card obtained by Marseille making it difficult for them at the end of the second half to be able to equalize. There is no significant difference between the two teams, so I can say that they still have hope to break the dominance of Paris Saint-Germain. Yes I know it's very difficult but this season is a weakness that Paris Saint-Germain can take advantage of.

Psg have been getting the points they need to stay on top of the Ligue 1, but if you watch their games for the whole 90 minutes you'll know that they have not been playing at their best and their three main superstars are not yet working very effectively together, and i am not saying it because they are not winning by a wide gap, but because they are not even creating too many clear chances, and despite the fact they have three very good attacking players, their opponents find it easy to contain them. I don't think they will win the champions league, but i know they will go far.

I think the main reason that psg are not that dominant is because only their attack trio messi, neymar and mbappe that are on a great shape we didn't see their midfielders or defenders shine so far this season we basically only see their forward trio i think other players should step their game up if they want to win the champions league.

[emrecemsan]

This was the most interesting moment of the PSG - Marseille match by the way.    Just look at how much the opponent is still scared of his free-kicks. They tried a different positioning in this but Messi was still able to shoot incredibly. However he was unlucky that the ball came back from the upper goal post. He found some other big chances also in the first half but he couldn't score. It was still nice to see him playing very ambitiously.

When it comes to Neymar-Mbappe duo in this match, they were great. We watched this duo working together a couple of times and finally Neymar scored while Mbappe was making the assist. They hugged each other and seemed happy. I think this shows that there is no problem between them from now on.

good news galtier has softened up with mbappe and put him in mbappe's preferred position (as a winger), mbappe how must he be able to lower his ego for the sake of a big team goal because PSG's main target is the champion league trophy since the first

making mbappe a winger makes him more of a contribution to other strikers and allows him to provide assists to neymar or messi

[el kaka22]

Has anyone else saw that Mbappe was actually quite happy after the goal, we have seen Mbappe passing to Neymar for a goal, and him + neymar + messi hugged each other right after the goal and they looked so happy together. I can't stop thinking, what if everything is just a rumour and a drama made by others?

I mean sure there were a lot of talks about him leaving before, but he got paid and stayed, if he REALLY wanted to leave, he could have gone to another club, but he choose to stay, maybe there isn't any problem, and maybe that’s all just newspaper blowing things up to sell more paper? We really do not know which one is the truth to be fair.

[Pulsar77]

Mbappe has already denied the rumours regarding him to leave PSG in January by the way. I'd like to share it here if you haven't heard of it yet.

I didn't see any statement regarding next summer but for now he seems happy at the team. He has been playing passionately for his team for a long time already. Even when the times he was rumoured to have problems with the board he was still able to focus on his game completely. This is really special I think because we don't see this effort in this kind of situations from every player in the end. Although Mbappe acts like he owns the team sometimes, his contribution to the team is still priceless.

[püsür]

Mbappe is trying to pull himself together. After receiving the criticism of selfishness, he tries to pass more. But I think PSG have a big problem with all the Mbappe stuff. Just because they were eliminated from real madrid last year (in my opinion), they made the deed of the team on the mbappe just so that he would not go to real madrid. He will probably burn the ships completely after the world cup. Mbappe isn't even the best player on the team. Team's best player is a 35-year-old man whose contract expires this season. Probably goes next year. Neymar also won't play decent football after this world cup, in my opinion. PSG might win the Ligue 1 but I don't think they will be successful in CL.

[ShowOff]

PSG did an excellent job and was able to win narrowly at home against Marseille. The victory is very important for PSG to continue to add points and make the distance with its competitors in the temporary standings.

PSG's point difference with Lorient is currently 3 points. PSG lead the table after a tough win against Marseille, of course that's good because basically I almost thought it was a draw. Until week 11, PSG are the only team that has not lost in Ligue 1 but so far they have lost 4 points from 2 draws in the previous matches. Being the most productive team and the most powerful team in Ligue 1 is a huge advantage for PSG, but this season it seems the competition between Ligue 1 teams is very tight.

This week, PSG will face Ajaccio in the continuation of week 12 of Ligue 1. PSG will again be favorites in that match, I will not hesitate to predict the victory. PSG will win again in that match because Ajaccio is one of the teams currently in the relegation zone.

Actually this has to be done because forcing him to be in the center striker is definitely not his style as a runner type striker so being on the wing would be a good thing for Mbappe and his performance is actually better there.
Even though in the match against Marseille only 1 goal was scored by Neymar, it is actually still not very good for those who are inhabited by many big players, but this clearly secures them in the top position.

Therefore, maybe that is also one of the obstacles that PSG are not too favorites for the Champions League title but apart from that, PSG is still a strong team that must be watched out for in the Champions League as well.

In fact, the possibilities of PSG are already starting to raise questions for me - I don’t see them as a reliable consistently strong game against strong opponents (weak ones can be ignored). In the Champions League, they failed to beat Benfica twice in a row. If it was a separate match, then I would not pay attention, but twice in a row this is already a signal of problems. It is a pity that the next game will be against Maccabi and there the result is a foregone conclusion. The final game of the group stage against the crisis Juventus may show us what PSG can do.

Honestly I agree your argument, Mbappe is indeed better in his current position, he can focus on counter attacks and can also focus on give assists. Also indeed, 1-0 was not a good score for PSG, when Marseille got a red card at there only 10 players but PSG couldn't gain another score after that.
For Champions league I thinks is still too early, PSG still has a chance to at least qualify for the semifinals.

sometimes a coach must be able to read the situation that is happening and it seems galtier is aware of that and obeys mbappe's will to continue to be a winger rather than a center striker

what funny is the speculation about the rift between Galtier - Mbappe - PSG immediately disappeared just like that, Mbappe even denied the news about him leaving next year. what a fun drama LOL
