French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[nara1892]

Marseille's 2 matches were not so good and should be 2 defeats in a row, it kept them away from Paris Saint Germain in the standings. This week they also got a tough opponent, Lens. Perched one level above Marseille Lens is a difficult opponent for Marseille. If you look at the statistics, these two teams are not much different in terms of strength, maybe it will also be a match that ends with sharing points from each team. If that really happened then Marseille would be further away from the leaders.

After a wonderful start to the season Marseille's form has started to drop down recently. I can understand the PSG defeat actually because it was really hard for them to get even one point away against PSG. They still resisted PSG well by conceding only one goal despite the red card. However I couldn't understand how they lost to a much weaker team like Ajaccio in their match home.

These consecutive point losses can cause bigger problems to happen but we will see. The Lens match is pretty tough for them and I'd like to add another thing like they lost their last two home matches against Lens also. Therefore it is difficult to trust Marseille as much as betting on them. But I might go for BTTS as I think that it will happen most probably.

A red card after they conceded a goal which made it even more difficult for them because they had to continue to focus on defense.
On the other hand, the defeat against Ajaccio is actually a surprise and I find it difficult to predict them against Lens in the upcoming match because regardless of what currently Lens is still performing quite well even though now they are also not very consistent but looking at the last 5 matches of course Lens is still better.
This is another difficult thing for Marseille because indeed in this match they are definitely required to bring 3 points.

Now there are new rumours such as Mbappe has asked PSG board about selling Neymar. Because he thinks that Neymar has some discipline problems at the club currently.

Honestly Mbappe wasn't seeming like he was unhappy with Neymar's presence in their last league game. We even watched their cooperation many times in the game and the goal even came thanks to these players. I really can't keep up with this honestly. Because one day we hear this kind of rumours and the other day Mbappe refutes them by making a statement. I don't feel like these are only about rumours now. There must be something going on really wrong now and we will find out at the end of the season most probably.

The fact that Neymar has serious disciplinary problems was already known last season without any connection with the situation with Mbappe. But this season Neymar is super professional in the game at least and I don't see any reason to complain about him now. Maybe all these rumors are just another invention of journalists who combine previous news/issues to make clickbait headlines? In part, Mabppe himself is to blame for the fact that there are so many fictions around him - he himself behaved in this way. Around Haaland I don't see anything like that.

People reacted way too early for Marseille being the same points as PSG at the start of the season, now the difference is already 6 points, and Lorient is closer to PSG than Marseille, that should be a good enough indicator that PSG is a team that is beyond all these talks, other teams could have good periods here and there, but they will end up losing eventually and they won't have the sustainable power to continue until the end of the season whereas PSG has that power to be this good without any change up until the end of the season and that matters a lot.

PSG will win the league title once again and will be 10+ points difference easily, I always said this, and I will keep saying it until the end.

Journalists sometimes just take advantage of the situation to get an advantage even though it's not the real situation. A lot of things have been debunked by the fact how bad the online media coverage continues to speculate about certain players, I don't fully believe it, but we can see it in their game.

The cooperation of the players, yes their cooperation when playing is good evidence to refute many rumors. I believe the conditions are a lot different as reported, this allows people to consume the wrong information.

Yes indeed Paris Saint Germain is that strong in Ligue 1 which makes the league boring because it does not display very tight competition. Honestly I am tired of seeing Paris Saint Germain always being champions for many years, I would like to see there is a new champion in Ligue 1. But it is very difficult to realize, Ligue 1 can be said to have belonged to Paris Saint Germain.

[execijutiere]

Psg has a good squad. I don't understand why there is jealousy within the team. If there is no success despite spending so much money, it must be because of the problems within the team. I don't understand why Mbappe is like this. I don't think this is the time and place to be jealous when we can achieve success together. There is unnecessary discord within the team.

What also stands out in the competition is the performance of Lyon, which is currently in 10th place in the competition. For years, regular participants in the Champions League competition, but that is all gone now. I don't even know if those days will come back. Trainer Bosz was fired, but he also lost his credit in the long run. The goal of all teams like Lyon will not be to become champions either, but Lyon is certainly one of the best 3-4 teams in France, and apparently that was not in it this year. PSG's lead on number 2 is only 3 points, I actually expected more.

But it is very difficult to realize, Ligue 1 can be said to have belonged to Paris Saint Germain.

The same goes for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Real Madrid in Laliga and Manchester City in the Premier League. They are the most dominating team for the title every season, but the competition is still good among all the teams because they didn't win it absolutely without the sacrifice of money, energy and good strategy from the coach.

The team's success to reach the pinnacle of glory and maintain it is something that is difficult for most teams to have, but some of the teams I mentioned might be able to because of the quality of the players they have. PSG will always be like this if the owners are rich, unless there is a limit that requires them not to spend more than $50M a year buying star players.

[emrecemsan]

As long as the speculated issues don't affect the performance of the players on the field, there isn't any problem. PSG just need their trio to focus on their games especially in very important matches for them. The Ligue 1 is in their hands as usual so there is no problem with that for now. However their main target is to win the Champions League and they can do this only by a strong mental. Concentration problems would push them to be eliminated very unexpectedly.

I hope that Mbappe doesn't cause the relationship with Neymar and Messi to be broken. Because Neymar - Messi duo don't seem like they aren't contented with playing beside Mbappe. Hence Mbappe should do the same. When they play in coherence there is no team they can't beat.

Lyon's performance is decreasing every year.
Their unstable condition makes Lyon inevitably have to continue to be in the middle table position.
It is difficult for them now to be able to play well with the condition of the players who are not too good and their playing style is easy to read.
Currently they are still in the top 10 and what's worse is that in the last 5 matches they have run, they have lost and only drawn 1.

I didn't heard that but AFAIK, Mbappe wants to leave PSG this winter. Considering this is true, where did he think he can go to? City, mm don't think they need another one after Haaland purchase. Real Madrid? Not sure they will welcome him after he failed them this summer although they need him. Barcelona? No need. Bundesliga and Serie A? Unlikely to happen. There is Chelsea and ManU maybe but not sure he wil l
accept.
Now that rumour that you mentioned might be true too since they don't like each other a lot even though they don't show that on camera, they are professional after all..

They have to do what's best for their team, not for themselves. Actually their fans don't want to know if their relationship is harmonious or not, they want them to play well and work together on the pitch. That's what players have to do, anyone not just Mbappe, but all players who join the same team. Both Mbappe, Messi, Neymar and the others must be able to work well together.

Actually, if you look at things like this, it is very certain because last season it has also been like this, especially between Mbappe and Neymar.
But as long as this doesn't affect the outcome of the fight, then this shouldn't be a serious problem even though it's true that this must be resolved.

The problem comes back to Mbappe whether he will continue to maintain his ego or change it because as long as he has a big ego like this, his chances will be more difficult.

[Bobrox]

This is a very contradictory suggestion due to the fact that Christophe Galtier was able to unite the PSG squad, if you realized beforehand that there was a problem with Mbappe and Neymar where they were arguing about penalty kicks. But this problem was quickly resolved and then even the two players were able to play well by providing beautiful assists for their goals, so I think PSG no longer have problems with their coach. Also about the privileges that Mbappe has is indeed a problem which is a pity because of course it will make this player difficult to control, but that has become part of their risk as well. But for his performance so far I think he is still fine and he is just a young boy who is still unstable and besides that, PSG are basically still okay for competition in Ligue 1 but to compete further in the Champions League I personally still doubt it.

No doubt with Christophe Galtier how can united the PSG squad actually with ego have by Mbappe and Neymar, slowly both player have good chemistry right now looking on beautiful assist give by Mbappe for goals scoring by Neymar when PSG won from Marseille last match. Christophe Galtier success solve problem between Mbappe and Neymar, but still left another problem why I doubt with his career as PSG manager, although his contribution success at Ligue 1 won 9 of 11 games but he still facing problem with 2 draw at Champion League from Benfica. If can't make PSG as soon qualify to next round could be bigger problem in his career have many star player but faced difficult how to make PSG lead to next round.

Now there are new rumours such as Mbappe has asked PSG board about selling Neymar. Because he thinks that Neymar has some discipline problems at the club currently.

these rumors are old and I doubt that PSG would send neymar away, despite Mbappé being a good player he could not play alone on the field against 11 players from the opposing team, that is, PSG needs neymar as much as it needs Mbappé and of several other players, you can't get a good player so easily and especially players who score goals are rarer to be found with the talent that neymar has. Mbappé needs to understand that a team has many players and that each player contributes to the team's victory so for Mbappé to score a goal it was because one of his teammates passed the ball to him, if Mbappé was playing alone on the field he would never score a goal . he needs to understand something obvious

I don't feel like these are only about rumours now. There must be something going on really wrong now and we will find out at the end of the season most probably.

maybe some people are creating rumors to get neymar fired and other teams manage to hire neymar or so neymar's behavior may not be good behavior which irritates Mbappé to the point of fights reaching the news channels

Psg has a good squad. I don't understand why there is jealousy within the team. If there is no success despite spending so much money, it must be because of the problems within the team. I don't understand why Mbappe is like this. I don't think this is the time and place to be jealous when we can achieve success together. There is unnecessary discord within the team.

It seems like he was an emotional player with so many ambition to dominating the club. Remember that if football was a working from 11 players. His problem will make the situation become very difficult to understand. I meant if we must also aware if the fact that mbappe was not even doing his job very good without his friends. he was very arrogant player pretty much the same like ronaldo which doesn't even like with his friend that has also good achievement. I can't accept an arrogant player like him.
It's better for PSG to let him go to the somewhere rather than still defend him to stay in PSG

Guys, I want to ask about predictions and possibilities in today's PSG match against Ajaccio, of course this match will be an easy match for PSG to win, but the problem is the handicap to get odds @1.97 is -1.75, I'm lacking sure PSG can get the win by 3 goals to get the full bet result.

What do you think? does PSG have a big chance to win by 3 goals away? or is it better for me to bet on PSG win only at odds of @1.27? I plan to put up $400 in this match.

Again it is the same old story in Ligue 1. PSG is at the top of the table and even though a few teams are chasing them I don't think they will be successful. My prediction is that PSG will once again win the league title. Simply because they don't have any real competition.

Unlike Messi and Neymar, Mbappe has trouble playing alongside them. Lionel Messi and Neymar have a very warm friendship. And I don't see anything is going to happen to that friendship because of Mbappe. You know that he likes to think of himself as someone above the players, that's what makes his ego so big. I don't think anything can change that at this point. In spite of this, PSG will be unstoppable if he can keep his ego in check and play with the same level of intensity as his teammates.

Seeing the standing position ajaccio which was on the 18th. PSG is always consistently win. The only thing that makes me doubt is currently PSG has been facing internal problem due to the mbappe. I prefer to take small chance.
In my opinion if PSG may possible to make three goals or even more but i think that we shall not also underestimate ajaccio caused by sometime PSG was also facing so difficult to make bunch of goals. Ajaccio was almost entering into the relegation zone.
Small odds is better as long as that gives you more guarantee to win it.

Marseille having the same number of points as PSG was a hope for a lot of people that probably PSG was going to be beaten this season. But that was not to happen. A lot of people including me overhyped Marseille.

I think deep down we all know that PSG is not going to be able to be beaten in the ligue 1. They just have a really talented squad and they don't have any real competition at all. Right now PSG is at the top of the table with 3 points clear from the second team. I think this difference in points is just going to increase from now on and eventually PSG is bound to win the league 1 title easily.
