French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[bestcoins1]

it's good if Neymar comes home with an improved mental condition. it's not easy to accept the fact that Brazil must lose to Croatia, even the Brazilian legendary players came to watch their national team compete. neymar has to move on, he can only encourage 2 other colleagues (messi and mbappe) who are fighting in the world cup, and I think the time lag can be used to train his body and mental condition at PSG for UCL.

Neymar is just sad because he had to lose to Croatia in the Qatar world cup. But mentally for Ligue 1 or for the PSG club I don't think it's too problematic because they (the Brazilian national team) go home with honor after struggling in the game.

Because losing on penalties was a slightly different story than usual so the Brazilian national team went home with honors having done very well. And Neymar doesn't need to cheer on his two PSG teammates (messi and mbappe) in the world cup, because he (Neymar) just needs to cheer himself up before returning to action in Ligue1 and the Champions League this season.

Brazil and Neymar were unlucky so they lost. They also lost against Croatia due to coach Tite's mistakes. If they had played a defensive strategy in the last few minutes, Croatia might not have scored and the match would not have been a draw. However, Brazil's defeat is no disgrace. Unfortunately, they were defeated.
Neymar's two teammates, Mbappe and Messi, are still keeping their dream of winning the World Cup alive. I am waiting to see who will win this year's title.
Hopefully, after the World Cup, these three stars of PSG can return to PSG healthy and impress us with their amazing performances.

Friendly matches cannot be used as a reference, because usually they also only try to make several strategies with players who are mostly not the main players. But apart from that, basically Nice is not a team that has high consistency every season, at least with Nice still being able to compete in the mid-table in Ligue 1, that is good enough for them.
You can check how Nice has been in the previous few seasons, at least Nice has only fluctuated in the top ten and is more precise in the five to ten positions.

Therefore, if Nice only loses in a friendly match I think that is still an okay result, because it is not certain that these bad results will continue to be experienced by Nice throughout the season.
If Nice continues to have bad results then it is unlikely that Nice will be able to survive in the top ten in the Ligue 1 standings. So in this case, I think Nice still hasn't experienced much change in performance, even though they changed coaches and also made some reshuffles but Nice still doesn't could be stable but Nice is good enough if it can consistently compete in the top ten.

Can't used reference for friendly match because Nice in not completed player and have several main player still in their national team at World Cup, seems Nice have inconsistency performance after last two season can dominance at top fourth standing in Ligue 1. Have 15 matches, Nice collected 20 points with 5 won, 5 draw and 5 loss and seems not easy for Nice back to European spot standing finish.

Nice can get moment with postponed at World Cup for recovering their team and back to top level performance, left 10 points from latest team in Champion League spot standing I think still ability for Nice catching Marseille points if can consistency at second half match.

Nice isn't too performing well this season and in my opinion in the term of goals this team still lack of productivities and indeed their forward lines seems quite sharp because from total 15 goals during this season their strikers can able to scoring 12 goals but it won't be enough if they want reach to european zone at the end of season and Nice actually has 5 consecutive no lose but they wasted several matches to gets full points however after France league starting again apparently Nice will faced strong opponent Lens and this is hard match for them considering Lens in the good shape and can able to overtake second position on standings league

[Alanaz]

It would make sense to lose a few players, hell even if the big trio didn't play, the rest of the squad would be good enough to fight for a title, they won without Messi many times before, so that is for sure, and Neymar was constantly injured, so Mbappe alone with others can win we have seen that, and I feel like there is a chance they could do that again and without Mbappe too because they have a great roster now.

However, UCL requires all of them healthy, they need to be all 100% healthy, including the big three and everyone else, they need all players to not just be healthy but also play the best football they could possibly play to win UCL, it is a very tough competition.

I agree with this, Paris Saint Germain will not have too big a problem if a player who until now has been a key player is not available in Ligue 1. But it will of course be a different story when in the Champions League. They will be very troubled when their key player has to miss the match. The Champions League is a completely different level to Ligue 1, they will be forced to work even harder there.

[Slow death]

Nice team is a really confusing team they get good results in the tough games and lose or draw in the relatively easy ones today they lost to girona in a friendly game, girona are not exactly a tough team but they can sometimes be hard to beat, its a big difference between Nice performance in the last and current season i think they need some changes, the manager departure was a huge blow in my opinion.

It's true, I remember that there was a game I bet on them, I included them in my multibet and they lost the game, honestly it was a game against a weak team and I even thought what the hell is wrong with them, and I stopped betting on them, I don't know if this is due to the change of coach or not, because I didn't follow this news about the change of coach, but I don't bet on them anymore this season. PSG will always be champions because in Ligue 1 they don't have opponents, the teams are simply weak, they do things that even I wonder if there is any motivation for them to want to fight too to be champions

Tite has received massive criticism from various fans and he answered all the criticism with an apology, however Brazil has lost and there is nothing to regret about that. Neymar, in this case, can relax a little first, while waiting for one of his teammates (Messi or Mbappe) to win the World Cup. there are important things that must be pursued by Neymar and other PSG colleagues, that is the UCL trophy, PSG has never had that.

Injuries might not be a serious problem for PSG as it might be for Bayern Munich. PSG have really good squad depth when it comes to attacking options as they have Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Neymar, Draxler, and Angel di Maria in their squad. This means that the coach can rotate the squad even if one or two players are missing.

PSG have many better players than Bayern Munich but in many seasons we saw PSG got troubles when one or two key players missed one match in knock-out phase of Champions League. Moreover they failed too even with their best players and I believe that if PSG have some injured players by World Cup 2022, they will lose a lot of strength when Champions League returns. With burden of failed past seasons, they might be beaten by Bayern Munich.

In terms of Bayern Munich, I think they might have a problem as Sadio Mané might be returning to the pitch after a long time and I think they might seriously miss Robert Lewandowski. Overall, I am looking forward to a contest that will be really exciting as both teams are very capable of winning it.

I know Bayern Munich have their problems but they are stronger than PSG in Champions League and maybe history will have its voice in these matches.

Currently, both teams are level in quality and performance which is main point but what will be happened after two months it's still not predictable because things can change in any match with new injury or any other issue specially while we have January transfer window where many players will try to leave for the better future and as we all know Neuer is also out for Bayern Munich which is surely a big setback for them but still we have to wait for the updates Neymar is back and now doing his stuff for the preparation after the break and Messi and Mbappé are still in Qatar with their national teams.

With both teams are having good command in their domestic leagues we can expect good fight in Champions League even injuries and other things are still happening and can create problems for the both teams but still any team can win and go into quarterfinal of the Champions League.

Mbappe and Messi's team are still in the World Cup. Both of them have been performing well since the start of the World Cup. I expect them both to join PSG after the World Cup and put on a great performance against Bayern Munich.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Injuries can actually be a problem for PSG. I mean especially the injuries affecting their attacking line directly. PSG are a team that depend on their very strong attacking trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. Even when one of these three players is injured they are in a really big trouble. By trouble I mean the Champions League of course. Because when it comes to the Ligue 1, I don't think PSG would have big difficulties even in a situation that they play with only one of this trio. Especially if that one is Mbappe. 

PSG need to preserve their players very well until their Bayern Munich matchup. They already have the upper hand on Bayern Munich I think. Because Neuer is not able to play during the rest of the season. Mane's condition is doubtful for the first leg also. If PSG keep their crucial players healthy they might start 1-0 ahead already.

[LUCKMCFLY]

There is some good news for PSG. Neymar is already coming back to the team after the elimination of Brazil.    Messi and Mbappe are still going on in the tournament but they are much less injury-prone than Neymar obviously. Neymar was really demoralized after being eliminated by Croatia but there is still a very long time ahead for PSG's next matches.

He can use this time to gather himself up and focus on his game at PSG again. PSG need these three important players not only healthy but also mentally strong. The Ligue 1 is pretty easy for them maybe but the Champions League doesn't forgive any weakness.

it's good if Neymar comes home with an improved mental condition. it's not easy to accept the fact that Brazil must lose to Croatia, even the Brazilian legendary players came to watch their national team compete. neymar has to move on, he can only encourage 2 other colleagues (messi and mbappe) who are fighting in the world cup, and I think the time lag can be used to train his body and mental condition at PSG for UCL.

It is normal and painful at the same time that they have taken Brazil out like this, but I think they fell into an obvious trap through Croatia, it cannot be denied that Croatia are great players who have defense and attackers, it is something impressive, For me the players were too good to be able to be here, it is noteworthy that Croatia has a very good record regarding football, in all the world championships of late they have excelled, that means that Croatian football is a demonstration of great It's improving, and that's good, for me Croatia is a soccer powerhouse and they're already in the semifinals, which I find interesting, they took out one of the best and candidates to win the World Cup.

Petkovic and Pasalic To Start | 4-3-3 Croatia Predicted Lineup Vs Argentina

Croatia faced off against Argentina at the Lusail Iconic Stadium earlier today as they hope to secure a positive result in the semi-final stages of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The European nation managed to secure a brilliant win over Brazil on penalties in the last round which will give them a lot of momentum ahead of this game.

Zlatko Dalić will set his men up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to name a strong team for this clash. Bruno Petković will get a chance to lead the line for the Croatia national team in the final third.

Is that because of the injury or anything else? That is the question. If it is about the injury then I would guess that it's not going to be hard for them to get better and be in the top 4 for good, a solid season. However, if it is not about the injuries and something else, a managerial problem or something then they will be still worse and that's going to create even more trouble for them.

At the end of the day. it's not going to be a big problem, it's going to be just a bad season at worst for them, and bad seasons do happen. Just try better and be better next season. Nobody expected them to be winner or anything anyway, so one bad season shouldn't be an issue.

I agree with you, the match between Bayern and psg will surely mean a lot for psg because no one ignore that the most important goal for psg is to get the champions league, beating and eliminating Bayern Munich will make the road for them so much easier and i think they have all the abilities to get this trophy this year

Neymar is just sad because he had to lose to Croatia in the Qatar world cup. But mentally for Ligue 1 or for the PSG club I don't think it's too problematic because they (the Brazilian national team) go home with honor after struggling in the game.

Because losing on penalties was a slightly different story than usual so the Brazilian national team went home with honors having done very well. And Neymar doesn't need to cheer on his two PSG teammates (messi and mbappe) in the world cup, because he (Neymar) just needs to cheer himself up before returning to action in Ligue1 and the Champions League this season.

Surely all the players will be sad when their country cannot go further in the World Cup, whoever the players and the country are. I agree that Brazil lost honorably because they showed an extraordinary struggle, moreover, they were actually able to win first in 15 extra rounds. Penalties are a battle of luck in my opinion and the odds turn out to be 50 to 50. No one can predict in a penalty shootout, because even the best player doesn't guarantee that he will beat the opposing goalkeeper. And vice versa, even the best goalkeeper will not guarantee to counter a kick from the opponent.

PSG have contrast different quality between main and reserve player, actually when losing one position with three attacking line from Messi, Neymar and Mbappe I don't know about who potential replacing their position. Actually true what did you said about PSG need looking for reserve player at Champion League match against Bayern Munich.

Not difficult yet for PSG in domestic league because they have difference level with other team, but I don't think enough with reserve player quality by PSG against Bayern Munich in Champion League.

Indeed, Bayern Munich has lost its main goalkeeper, who must be sidelined for the rest of the season. But let's not forget that mentality is also important in big games like this. And I can say the mentality that the Bayern Munich squad has is better than Paris Saint Germain.
Paris Saint Germain has a luxurious squad on every front, even the players who are on the bench are no less luxurious than their main players. It's just that the Paris Saint Germain players are not as harmonious as the team they will face. This is also homework for Galtier.

[FanEagle]

Bayern is now missing their great goalkeeper, and PSG is not missing anyone unless Messi gets injured for the remainder of the world cup, which means that they will have an advantage.

Bayern may not miss Neuer during bundesliga, but PSG will use their talents to abuse the newer goalkeeper for sure, it will be a better for them without a doubt. I am not saying that we should be expecting them to lose for sure, Bayern could still win, but I see PSG as the favourites for sure, that means betting on them should be easier. Odds will not take Neuers importance all that much, and they will give them close odds, and that is why betting on PSG would be so great.

I don't expect Messi to be injured in the World Cup final where he will need more than a month to recover. Of course, injuries will have an impact on PSG's strength, especially in the attack line because so far the two mainstays of PSG, both Messi and Mbappe, are in their best performance. These two players are competing to become the top scorer or maybe the best player during the World Cup, each of them has scored 5 goals and the number is still likely to increase.

PSG's advantage is to have both of them in attack, which is great. And maybe Mbappe and Messi will clash in the final if France beat Morocco in the semi-finals. I really see Messi having a huge impact on Argentina's game and victory in the current World Cup, and so far Messi has been absolutely amazing.

Sven Ulreich has already appeared in a few of their games, so he will take over. Even in the Bundesliga, Manuel Neuer is still a significant blow to Bayern. This is maybe the moment when another Bundesliga champion will emerge.

There is only one game between them in the World Cup finals, no one is expecting Messi to be hurt. By that time, Neymar will be fine, and PSG will be fully prepared to face Bayern. After Messi and Mbappe played against each other in the World Cup finals, I am curious about their chemistry. There is too much at stake, including their pride and emotions. This is also the final World Cup of Messi.

[Luzin]

I really see Messi having a huge impact on Argentina's game and victory in the current World Cup, and so far Messi has been absolutely amazing.

They are both core players in his country. The difference is that Mbappe is younger and there are still many chances for the next World Cup while Messi is his last world cup. Messi performed superbly he became the actor of victory in the Semifinals. Messi is just waiting for Mbappe or Hakimi to qualify.
They are friends at PSG, but from a country that is ready to be an enemy in the final later. Currently in the League, PSG are five points ahead of Lens meaning they are still strong in the French League. Still 23 games, but PSG are the Favourites.
