French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[GiftedMAN]

Cristiano Ronaldo is mbappe idol in football and striving hard to be like him is amazing. Kylian mbappe is one of the favorite player under Christophe Galtier and Didier Deschamps. He's talented with pace and balance on the pitch, with good footing on the ball. Kylian is France top valued player in the market, and deals to pull him out of the Parisians squad have failed countless times. Disappointing real Madrid in the first bid which the Los blancos were so close to bringing him to Santiago bernabeu.

Mbappe has too high ego like Cristiano Ronaldo and maybe he learned it from his idol.

After Messi and Ronaldo era, and a generation in middle with Bale, Neymar, Hazard who all failed to beat and take over top positions of Messi and Ronaldo, we have a new generation with Mbappe and Haaland as two best players. They will compete with each other and create another dual competition personally like Messi vs Ronaldo in past 20 years.

Deschamps and Galtier know what they can get from Mbappe but at the same time, also risk by lack of defense contribution from Mbappe. They have to create a system which can cover Mbappe in defense.

We have already seen what Mbappe can do. There is no doubt that he’s going to be one of the best players in the world. And I also have very little doubt that Erling Haaland is going to be the one being his rival.

One thing you said is that Mbappé has a lot of egos, and probably he learned from his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. I am actually going to say that in the case of Cristiano Ronaldo, it’s not ego, it’s the passion for the game.

But in the case of Kylian Mbappé, it is actually ego. Because we have seen him bumping shoulders with Lionel Messi, just because Messi did not pass him the ball. Kilian Mbappe has got a lot to learn. But unless he lets go of his ego, he’s not going to learn.

Messi was around Xavi Hernandez and Andrea Ineasta as he was able to challenge Cristiano Ronaldo for the Ballon d'or that year. Same can still happen and is already happening with Kylian Mbappe he is a good player I see the prime Henry in the youngster as he has big future ahead but he has to bring his head down still to learn more of the game. Ronaldo has no ego I don't know why people fail to see that aspect of Ronaldo just like you said it is the passion for thr game. Since Mbappe signed that deal with Psg he had a change of attitude on tue pitch with Neymar and Messi

Psg next game will be against strasbourg the team on the 19th position the only win they got this season is against the last team angers its a difficult situation they are in despite how well they performed last season, i think psg coach will give rest to some players especially messi and mbappe i expect psg team to win even without them.

PSG will be able to win their matche against Strasbourg whether they play with Messi and Mbappe or not. PSg has quality players which Strasbourg doesn't have.
The Epl started today and big clubs won their first match, it is expected that when legue 1 resumes, PSG should also be able to win their first match.

It seems, PSG will start the match in the second half of this season without being filled with some of their main pillar players. if I refer to some of the media that I read, Mbappe, Hakimi, are doubtful that they will play against Strasbourg later. while for Nuno Mendes, he will be absent due to his injury. and apparently, Messi will also be absent in the match later. so, it looks like PSG will not play with a full squad.

fortunately, Strasbourg was not a difficult opponent for them to beat. moreover, PSG is playing at home, Parc des Princes. and according to several sources that I read, Galtier will partner two players, namely, Neymar and Hugo Ekitike for PSG's front line. even so, the predicted lineup for PSG could change because we don't know for sure what Galtier will do later. well, if it turns out that Mbappe, Messi, will certainly be absent in the match later. Can PSG win the game with a landslide score? according to my predictions, very doubtful.

Strasbourg is a bottom-of-the-table club so it's impossible to be a threat to PSG even without a full squad even if they play second tier I think PSG can still win against Strasbourg and won't drop points in the game later

Hopefully it is time for Monaco to start rising in the league. Their upcoming game is against Auxerre away. This is a really comfortable game for Monaco on paper. There has been a long time since these two played against each other maybe. But still Monaco have a good history against them and they are a far better team currently obviously.

Auxerre are new around here this season. They have been doing quite bad so far and I don't think they can resist Monaco. I will be betting on Monaco's win @1.77.

Monaco is very far superior in this match, how is it possible that they will be able to lose later against Auxerre which is a team in the relegation zone. I also have the same opinion that Monaco is a statistically and historically strong team, so this match will be easy for Monaco to advance to the top four of the standings.

I look forward to the second half of this season, which is starting up again with the same uncertainties. My best wishes go out to Nuno Mendes for a speedy recovery. However, Messi will remain at home because he is still on holiday. Next Tuesday, PSG expects Messi to return to the club. As League 1 gets underway, Mbappe and Neymar are both expected to play. On December 29, PSG will play Strasbourg in League 1. In the match against PSG, Strasbourg won't try to keep up the pressure even though Mbappe, Messi, Neymar, and Hakimi will be absent.

Strasbourg was at the bottom. PSG didn't even need to use its main starting line up to be able to win against strasbourg. Can we call that PSG will get fullpoints easily from strasbourg? I personally think that the result can be known easily even with hearing the name of team that will be faced in the next match of french league. PSG is dominating everything here.

Real Madrid have clear stance on Kylian Mbappe transfer

As reported by MARCA, Real Madrid follows its roadmap and that does not go through reopening the door of the entity to the possible arrival of Mbappe. The club’s leaders want to get away from the noise.

There is no doubt that Mbappe is one of the best players on the planet and seems pretty much destined to win the Ballon d’Or someday, unless something unexpected happens.

He would be considered as a major coup for any club on the planet right now. But considering how the transfer saga involving Real Madrid and Mbappe has transpired in the past, and how Vinicius Jr has developed in recent years, and Los Blancos might not really need the Frenchman anymore.

It is naive to believe any public statements when it comes to such big things. I think the "leak" from Marca which is pro-Real media can be considered as a public statement. I'm sure Real Madrid have an interest in Mbappe but they try not to show it as Mbappe is also interested in Real Madrid so it's better to look indifferent in order to reach a favorable agreement.

Everyone knows that PSG is the most dominant team in Ligue 1. PSG didn't seem to have a strong competitor throughout the season even though they could also loss a few points in 38 matches. Boring, that may be the true impression people give of Ligue 1.

The real competition for PSG is in the Champions League, but they haven't managed to prove that they can win the title. PSG has a lot of quality players both in defense and attack, but the lack of experience of the team and coach they have is the cause of failure in the Champions League. I can't find any other reason.

Interestingly, the last meeting between PSG and Strasbourg ended in a 3-3 draw. That is, PSG could not earn three points in a match against an outsider. I do not know what will happen tomorrow, but I am sure that after the World Cup Mbappe and Messi are in great shape and ready to play for their club again. I also think that PSG has no problem to beat Strasbourg in the first match of the second half of the season.

I think the media just want to massively exaggerate the rumors of Mbappe going to Real Madrid and they only want to make money from this news. The problem is that Mbappe and Real Madrid are interested in each other, it could happen, but most likely it will also be another big news in the future and the rumors that have been circulating will be closed either by Real Madrid.

Of course it's no exaggeration when we say Paris Saint Germain will win easily against Strasbourg later, because the difference between these two teams is very visible from any angle. I even agree if someone says Paris Saint Germain will still be the winner even if they don't play with their entire main squad. Not meant to belittle Strasbourg, but the facts that are happening now are like that.
The Champions League is indeed a competition that is more suitable for Paris Saint Germain, because there the opponents they will face have the same strength as them.

No, PSG won't win games easily if they don't have Messi, Neymar and Mbappe as their attackers. Chances of victory will drop if PSG don't play with their front three, that should be true. PSG is also not as strong as expected when they meet opponents who are very focused on a defensive strategy and high pressing. I mean like against Reims and Monaco this season. PSG drew in these two matches even though PSG actually dominated the match.

The Champions League is indeed a competition that is more suitable for Paris Saint Germain, because there the opponents they will face have the same strength as them.

Yes, that's because the opponents are balanced on the basis of quality. I really saw PSG prove something this season in the Champions League, the first stage is over and now they need to think about how to beat Bayern Munich in the last 16.

PSG has been doing very well in the Champions League this season. Coach Galtier has managed to stabilize the team's performance by solving the internal problems of the team. And more importantly, Neymar has not suffered any injuries this season. The trio of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe are playing very well. Hence, PSG's chances of winning the Champions League title this season are higher than in any previous season. Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar are in great form. It will be challenging for any team in the Champions League to beat PSG without these three players facing injuries.

To be honest, I haven't seen anything special from Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League, because in the group phase they didn't get opponents who were really at their level. Juventus? We all know how Juventus have performed this season, so I don't expect much from them. Benfica? Actually I see that Benfica is not better than PSG, but they can win the group. From there I see that Galtier has not been able to give an impressive appearance for Paris Saint Germain.

There has been a long time since these two played against each other maybe. But still Monaco have a good history against them and they are a far better team currently obviously.

Auxerre are new around here this season. They have been doing quite bad so far and I don't think they can resist Monaco. I will be betting on Monaco's win @1.77.

This should be a carefree match for them, especially considering Auxerre's condition which is still in the relegation zone, of course this is in their favor to make a real win. but on the other hand we still can't be so sure because Monaco's condition is not too good either.
They lost quite a lot of points in the last 5 matches which made them have to be out of the top 4 for a while but now there is a big chance to get 3 points even though in this match they are the best away team.

1.77 in odds, hm not too bad.

Surely in this season Monaco is unpredictable and have not good results which are hurting them with gape is widening from second spot as well even now we have another 23 rounds left, and they can fight for higher rank, but this could be not easy for them because Lens, Rennes and Marseille these all are also impressive with their performance and surely now these could be tried to stay here until end of this season but Monaco which is one of the best club after PSG and Marseille here in Ligue 1 will not give up easily because they will try their best for having spot into next season's Champions League for this now they are going to face Auxerre which is currently in relegation zone with poor results and Monaco is also having better chance for taking full three points from this match as well.

Strasbourg's performance last season and this season was very different and it was a little difficult for them because the opponents were very strong and I agree with what you said, even though PSG will not be strengthened by some of their core players it will still be easy for PSG and they will still become the favorite to win because the conditions and players are very different in this match.

[emrecemsan]

It is not actually about being in need of Mbappe for Real Madrid.

Yes, they don't need especially Mbappe for achieving the La Liga title or even the Champions League title. They already proved that by getting both of the titles in the previous season. It is important for Real Madrid to have a player like Mbappe because they would like to build a dream team again like they loved to do it in the past. They don't need Mbappe and Haaland both either to make this dream come true either. Only Mbappe would be a great addition to make this team far stronger than before. There is a great coherence between Mbappe and Benzema already but maybe Mbappe would take his place in the starting eleven rather than playing beside him. But it depends on when PSG would be likely to sell Mbappe.

[redsun114]

It seems, PSG will start the match in the second half of this season without being filled with some of their main pillar players. if I refer to some of the media that I read, Mbappe, Hakimi, are doubtful that they will play against Strasbourg later. while for Nuno Mendes, he will be absent due to his injury. and apparently, Messi will also be absent in the match later. so, it looks like PSG will not play with a full squad.

fortunately, Strasbourg was not a difficult opponent for them to beat. moreover, PSG is playing at home, Parc des Princes. and according to several sources that I read, Galtier will partner two players, namely, Neymar and Hugo Ekitike for PSG's front line. even so, the predicted lineup for PSG could change because we don't know for sure what Galtier will do later. well, if it turns out that Mbappe, Messi, will certainly be absent in the match later. Can PSG win the game with a landslide score? according to my predictions, very doubtful.

Long break with too many players were involved into World Cup specially most of the players were until end of the event mean they still need some time for having their best into club game and best part is now they are going to face Strasbourg which is currently at 19th spot with just one win even in last season they were at their best and have amazing end of the season but things going wrong, and they are currently one of the worst team in Ligue 1 with just one win from 15 matches this could be advantage for the PSG coach because here if he sends his second tier team they also can win without any problem from this team.

Hopefully we will have few star players available because they also need good practice for the future as well because now things could be more difficult Champions League knock out is also coming, and they have challenge of the season for themselves if they want to be had good end of this season for this match most chances they could be ended with 4 or 5 goals even they have no few top players.

[Alanaz]

It is Lens that I hope can put pressure on Paris Saint Germain, because they are the closest team to PSG by only 5 points. Indeed, I realize that in Ligue 1, a distance of 5 points is a distance that will be difficult to catch, especially when the team at the top is Paris Saint Germain, even though they can still lose points, it will be very difficult to beat them, not only to beat them but holding a draw also requires very hard work and is followed by enormous luck. Just look at their stats at the moment, they have created 43 and conceded only 9 goals in 15 games. If on average they create 2 or even close to 3 goals in every match.

[darewaller]

I think the media just want to massively exaggerate the rumors of Mbappe going to Real Madrid and they only want to make money from this news. The problem is that Mbappe and Real Madrid are interested in each other, it could happen, but most likely it will also be another big news in the future and the rumors that have been circulating will be closed either by Real Madrid.

Here I agreed about this mostly media needs something for the better viewer ship and in last few seasons we have first Messi and then Ronaldo now as these both ends, so they are now playing dirty games with this new generation player Mbappé who is doing good in this team and already won player of the tournament award in Qatar final even we have no official statement from any party and things looking good for all with Real Madrid is also having their targeted players into their team which mean they are not in connection with anything related to Mbappé after he skips them for PSG in last season.

Mbappé and Real Madrid were in engagement, but now things are completely changed with PSG is also seriously involved in Champions League win and Real Madrid is also looking for other replacements hopefully media will also leave this all and try to have some better things for viewers in near future instead of having Mbappé and Real Madrid love affair.
