French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

What a goal Messi scored (https://youtu.be/zdISOXOA8A8?t=214)! Before taking the ball, he checked the environment. After 3 seconds, he once again checked the environment. Then, when he got the ball, it only took 3 seconds to apply what he put his head in. The defenders and goalkeeper of the opposing team did not expect him to do such a thing. Also, there was no way they could stop his reaction in just 3 seconds. With this goal, Messi showed everyone why he is Messi once again. Such a football player deserves endless respect.

There is no doubt about the quality of the PSG striker if the chemistry between the three is good. I think now the three PSG strikers are starting to work for the team and prioritizing over individual achievements. Messi contributed a lot this season for PSG and I think that improvement is very clear for now. His goals and assists numbers have increased compared to last season, meaning he is starting to find himself again in the PSG match.

Today's victory has led PSG to be even more secure at the top with a difference of 5 points from Lens. PSG is a strong team, but the defense is not really stable during this time. They can drop points in easy match, that's normal.

PSG with all the attacking power they have only managed to get a narrow win of 4-3 against Troyes, and its a disappointing result for a team on their own turf!! I know they say the best defense is to attack but I think these guys forget about their own goal post, or think they can outscore their opponents which is a wrong approach.

If these guys are ever going to Dream of getting a champions league trophy they need to start limiting the number of goals conceded, at the least keep cleansheets otherwise they are an average team!!!

PSG barely won today but the win is an important. Troyes wasnt lucky at all and that is just a shame. They leaded in the match and just couldnt win or least draw in this match. But they scored three goals against PSG and that dosent happen everyday

Seeing Troyes able to score 3 goals against PSG, shows that PSG's defense is very bad, and out of control. PSG are lucky to have a good front line, the MNM trio did not waste the opportunity and scored 1 goal each for PSG's victory.

What a great attack by PSG, what a wonderful combination of Messi, Neymar, Mbappe. What a great goal by Messi, which surprised all the fans today. In fact, Messi is the only player who creates history in every match. His skills are endless. Messi is in great form now. Besides, PSG's defense is performing very poorly. Something new needs to be added to the defense team.

Strasbourg vs Marseille and on the paper this could be easy match for Marseille considering Strasbourg is weak team even they still struggle to avoid relegation zone and because Marseille has losing too many points from their previous matches so they have to utilized this match back to winning track but a bit worried to see Marseille performance because they looks unstable this season and several times they were playing poor even Ajaccio can beat them so for bet purposes seems pick Marseille win as the option could be risky however i was hoping Igor Tudor can evaluated their previous losses before and Marseille can playing well this time and get full points from this match

Losing 9 points from 3 matches in a row is a blow for Marseille. I was surprised by what Marseille achieved in those 3 games. Now it's their momentum to get back to 3 points because their opponent isn't that strong, they must use this as a stepping stone to restore their morale that was destroyed in the last 3 matches, otherwise it will be harder for them to find good momentum like this.

It was obvious from the start that Marseilla was overachieving and they weren't as good as the start they had. For a while like 7-8 games if I am not wrong they were at the same points as PSG and everyone was talking about if they could do what Lille did a few years ago.

I stood my ground, and even though I do not like PSG all that much, I said that PSG is a team that can play at this level for many years, whereas Marseille played like this for only a while and they wouldn't be capable of keep going like this. In the end I was right and they are losing now back to back to show how they could go back to where people expected them to be at the start of the season.

Messi is in very good form now. Even at the age of 35, Messi has managed to maintain his fitness. And he is performing well in every match. Not only Messi, and Neymar, but Mbappe and Ramos were also very good in today's match. PSG managed to score 4 goals today due to the good performance of the team. But their defence was a bit weak. Galtier should try to strengthen his defence. Because maybe they can win the Ligue 1 title with a weak defence, but if they want to win the Champions League title, they need a strong defence. Hopefully Galtier will be able to strengthen his defence in the upcoming matches.

Marseille team will need a win today to wash away the three consecutive losses in the last three rounds and to keep the fifth spot and maybe move up the ladder and take one of the champions league spots but it will not be easy since its an away game against a team in danger of relegation strasburg that had a bad start this season unlike the last one so marseille team need to be careful.

[MAAManda]

One of the best attacking players today is Messi, Neymar, Mbappe. All three of them are playing for PSG and currently they are showing the best performance of the team. All three of them are able to score in almost every match. The three of them have great chemistry.

No matter how good they are at PSG and as many titles as they can get in Ligue 1, it doesn't take away from the fact that they are not the strongest in Europe. They always have bad luck at UCL.

For a league like Ligue 1, teams like PSG who have a lot of money will continue to dominate this league, I hope there will be other rich investors who are willing to acquire top Ligue 1 clubs, so that we can see competitions like Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga at least

Messi is a genius, with only 3 seconds he can think of ways to score, although he is not young anymore but he still has good instincts.

Marseille team will need a win today to wash away the three consecutive losses in the last three rounds and to keep the fifth spot and maybe move up the ladder and take one of the champions league spots but it will not be easy since its an away game against a team in danger of relegation strasburg that had a bad start this season unlike the last one so marseille team need to be careful.

The matches has started, Marseille this time played very careful and this club have now got 1 score quickly, the chances of getting 3 points are clearly visible. The possibility of that one score will be maintained by Marseille until the end of the match to minimize the chance of injury too, considering the champion league event important for them, so Marseille will stay and maybe press a little to get another chance to score again.

It was a wonderful day for Messi and Neymar especially. They both had one goal and one assist against Troyes. Messi is still great when it comes to taking a big responsibility for his team to get the win. His goal was really superb to the right corner. His through ball to Neymar to score the goal was also one of the passes we have been accustomed to see from Messi. Messi - Neymar duo are very good at it as they have known each other since their Barcelona days. Neymar could have made a classy assist to Mbappe also but he couldn't score it.

The only thing disturbing about PSG was their defending style. They gave big spaces to their opponent and made simple mistakes in defense. Troyes couldn't have scored this many goals against them normally. However I must admit that Balde scored really great two goals and his performance was impressive.

[Jody.Drummer]

Very interesting matches to watch for Paris Saint Germain and Troyes this week. They reciprocated goals by creating 7 goals from both. Troyes took the lead in the 3rd minute and Paris Saint Germain could equalize in the 24th minute. Then Troyes did the same in the second half by scoring in the 52nd minute but it didn't take long for Paris Saint Germain to equalize again in 3 minutes intermittent. Then Paris Saint Germain could turn 2 goals ahead thanks to goals from Neymar and Mbappe's penalty. Troyes who tried to catch up was only able to create 1 goal in the 88th minute.

Marseille are now two goals ahead in a match which is now in the second half. And I think that it is a game that is not so difficult for Marseille to win because the Strasburg team did not have such a good performance this season so Marseille will not be so difficult to win that game at home to Strasburg although need to be careful because Strasburg are also trying to keep himself from being in a relegation position.

Paris Saint-Germain 4 : 3 Troyes

what the hell just happened? before this match the bookmakers were giving an odd of @1.10 in case PSG wins the match, but to everyone's surprise the match was not easy for PSG who conceded 3 goals in this match, maybe it's the result of tiredness from the match Champions League

PSG played an attacking strategy today, and they prioritized attacking more than keeping the defense strong. And that's why they conceded three goals today. However, we were treated to an exciting match. We saw seven goals in this match. But PSG should have kept the defense strong and then tried to attack. Ramos played very well. But he did not perform the duty of a defender. Most of the time he was in the midfield.

this result could be the consequence of the tiredness of the champions league game, they had a champions league game and didn't have much time to rest and this may have been the main cause of conceding 3 goals, of course we also have to take into account consideration that even in the champions league game they conceded 2 goals, which could also mean that they are returning to the old problem of weak defense that led to the dismissal of the former coach

Messi is in very good form now. Even at the age of 35, Messi has managed to maintain his fitness. And he is performing well in every match. Not only Messi, and Neymar, but Mbappe and Ramos were also very good in today's match. PSG managed to score 4 goals today due to the good performance of the team. But their defence was a bit weak. Galtier should try to strengthen his defence. Because maybe they can win the Ligue 1 title with a weak defence, but if they want to win the Champions League title, they need a strong defence. Hopefully Galtier will be able to strengthen his defence in the upcoming matches.

Messi is without any doubt amazing player and his current form and fitness level is also amazing with he is role model for new generation players and if he is able to keep this all for more time then surely he can play until next world cup which is going to hold in 2026 even not in national team but at club level and right now PSG is desperate to sign new contract, but he is currently having all his concentration on world cup and current PSG season which is also important for them as they are already in lead with most chances no team capable for challenging them for title in French League, but they have to do hard work for winning Champions League because few teams are having also better performance, and they can give them challenge which is never been easy.

In today match defense was exposed by visitors as they take two time lead but fail to maintain this for long time and lost match so here they need to do manage things which are surely important as now they are going into knock out stage of Champions League where big teams can also expose them like this, and they can face trouble.

In the end there was a 4-3 final result at the game of PSG. But we did see an entertaining match. I didn't feel that the opponent anywhere had a chance to take a point home, even when it was only 1-1 at half time. Then you see how well the team can play football. The only management is that they have now conceded 3 goals again, with a defense like PSG you should limit that to 0 or 1 goal. There is something to be gained against PSG, but then they have to become complacent. They make a show of it too often and then stand in the back playing too casually. I still have some hope that Marseille is going to play better and finish within first 3 places.

Psg managed to defeat Troyes 4-3 at home. Troyes is a team that has no problem in finding goals this year. We can say that they scored at least 1 goal in almost every match. PSG, on the other hand, struggled against Troyes. In the second half, they played more dominant and scored one goal after another and relaxed by opening the gap.
Marseille, on the other hand, continues to lose points in a season that started very well. If this continues, they will slowly start to break away from the race.

[Bobrox]

PSG resumed positive results after beating Troyes 4-3, but conceded 3 goals was a bit surprising as PSG's defense did not perform well, Carlos Soler, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe managed to score one goal each for PSG's victory and 3 points achievement make PSG keep safe as first standing position awhile with 5 points gap from Lens. Unpredictable with PSG how come conceded 3 goals actually at the early 3th minute when Troyes success scoring goal trough Balde. Seems home work for Christophe Galtier for next match how to manage with defensive area keep trying without have conceded many goals again.

I don't think they are going back to the old problem. They prioritized the attacking lineup in this match. And they also did a good job. The defending was bad, not gonna lie. But I think it is going to improve from the next match. But another thing can be that they are so confident in the attacking lineup and that's why they are not worried about having a few problems in the defense. Because they know that they have what it takes to overcome the odds with creative attacking play. But I don't think that is going to work against bigger and better opponents.

They have the best trio in the world, and their attacking capabilities are quite frightening right now due to their hard work. The frontline of their team is extremely good, but the backline is also extremely poor. There should be an immediate consideration of the situation, and necessary measures should be taken. If not, they will be easy to conquer. Against Real Madrid, it happened last season. As with last season, PSG's form is unchanged. Frontline improvement and backline deterioration. Although I don't disagree with the team's success, they will be easily beaten if they don't work on their backline.

In my opinion, we can say that Marseille is out of the race. Paris SG is a team that will dominate the league on their own. I don't think there is a team that will come close to their squad quality in the French league. Considering Messi's recent acceleration, they are the teams with the best offensive line in the world. Even Troyes scoring 3 goals is an achievement in itself.

There is no doubt Troyes attack is doing amazing job, and they are able to score 2 or 3 goals in every match which is good job but sadly here we have another unwanted fact that their defense is also one of the worst in French League which is already conceded 28 goals which are second in league with just 13 rounds ended, and we have another 25 rounds to come if they want to stay here in middle of the league table then surely they need to work on this because if they fail to have manage this then surely they can go down as right now they are fail to win any game in last five rounds which is also not good and alarming for them to have better results for better end of this season.
