French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

I think PSG have all it takes to win the Ligue1 title regards of their poor performance in the last few games, the gap between PSG and their rival in the Ligue1 will motivate them team to do what is expected of them even as they keep preparing for the big game against Bayern Munich in the Champions League which I believe is one of the reason why the team has dropped few months in their local League.PSG is sure of getting the Ligue1 because they have the players to do the job but their major concern is their game against Bayern Munich I think they will be back on their feet once they succeed in beating Bayern to progress to the next round and they will be focused to doing more good job in the Ligue1.

When talking about the champions league match between PSG vs Bayern, it's still about a month long and every week PSG always plays matches in Ligue 1, so if you wait for the results of the match to meet Bayern Munich, in my opinion it's too long and it could be that the top of the Ligue 1 standings will be shifted by other teams in the top 4 of the standings. So in the next match PSG must improve and must win if they still want to defend the Ligue 1 title this season.

IMO, PSG do not have a strong challenger in this competition even though PSG got two defeats in the second half of this season. despite the fact, PSG still lead the top of Ligue 1 even though they are only three points away from the runner up, namely Lens.

in PSG's two defeats, for the first time I can understand it when PSG was humiliated by their opponent with a score of 3-1. because after all, the absence of Neymar and Messi greatly impacted the sharpness of their attack line. for the loss to Rennes, again I have to say. apparently, Galtier was overconfident with the rotations and formation experiments he was implementing. unfortunately, what Galtier expected was not what he expected.

Next, before the Champions League match begins, PSG will focus more on increasing the gap between the points with the team below it. By the way, I haven't heard any rumors regarding PSG signing a newcomer this January? I hope yes, at least PSG need more productive midfielders.

These two teams are so familiar with one another. They compete against one another in both the semifinals and the finals. Additionally, PSG has a better record against Bayern than Bayern has against PSG in the past. Nevertheless, everything could alter in the future. PSG is aware that Bayer plays differently than PSG, and they dislike it because it makes their job difficult. Nevertheless, my instinct says Bayern will win since they are a dangerous team. Last but not least, PSG will lose if they do not play as a team, which is frequently lacking in their games.

For now PSG is not reliable, this team has all it takes to win any match but we see the reverse being the case always dashing the hope of their fans, french senior league is becoming had for PSG as a team because the teams that are seen as a work over for them is no more soft as been perceived by spectators, with the number of world quality players in PSG ordinary is suppose to keep them ahead of any club in their league. Lets hope to see them winning in the coming days.

Lol! So does it mean that in a particular league, a team with the best players must win every match? I don't think so. Rennes dominated in their last match against PSG even with the likes of Messi, and Neymar in the field do u know why? Overconfidence is the answer. PSG kept dominating in ball possession without a single shot on target throughout the first half, while on the other hand, Rennes made four attempts and all were on target. Tell me why they shouldn't win with such effort. Don't be surprised, Overconfidence is most times the downfall of most of the top team clubs with world-class players.

Despite that in the last five league outing of psg, they lost 2 and won 3, they are still at the top of the Ligue one table with 3 points ahead of Lens. This shows that they are superior still but the good news is that we might  not be seeing psg win league again with upto 12 to 15 points.  This shows that other teams in the league are doing well.

That's right, what is my focus at the moment is the team that is competing with Paris Saint Germain, so far they have done very well by not allowing Paris Saint Germain to be able to win in their matches. This is what I want to see in Ligue 1, that is, there is pressure exerted by other teams on Paris Saint Germain. That way we will see a competitive competition here. Even though in the end they will still be champions, it will not be easy for them to do that.

maybe in your opinion bayern is a dangerous club but actually PSG is also a more dangerous club, the champions league hasn't started yet and we don't know who the players will play in the match later, so it's hard to predict now, so the most important thing now is to focus on league for PSG to keep their distance from the clubs below them

You're right, for now PSG has been inconsistent in their performance in league matches. But even so, they are still in first place in the standings. Whatever their performance, believe it or not you'll see them win the Ligue 1 this season.

Lets hope to see them winning in coming  days.

For sure, they will. Tomorrow they will have a game with Riyadh XI, with the existing line-up on the Riyadh XI, PSG should easily get their win.

So in the next match PSG must improve and must win if they still want to defend the Ligue 1 title this season.

If there are no delays, then there are around 6 other matches that PSG must complete before hosting Bayern Munich for the Champions League.
Meanwhile the number of matches was also the same for Bayern Munich before traveling to the Parc des Princes in mid-February. Bayern Munich has so far had good performance in its domestic league, while PSG has experienced a decline in performance where PSG lost 2 times in their last 5 matches.

Comparing these statistics, of course, Bayern Munich is superior, but we definitely know that the Champions League matches will be more difficult to predict. PSG is strong opponent for Bayern Munich, and vice versa. I wouldn't underestimate any of them, but PSG and all of its main players will hopefully be able to fulfill the fans' hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals.

A good assessment but unfortunately, PSG as a strong team in Ligue 1 still disappoints their fans. Indeed, a team with above average quality in the local league doesn't have to win all the time but the disappointment is, PSG is still difficult to win against strong teams who are also in the title race.
Therefore, some fans will certainly be disappointed because when PSG faces a rival team in the title race, then PSG should be able to win the match. Because then PSG will have a wider gap which will put them in better situations and conditions to play in the Champions League later.

Because PSG is the most superior team in Ligue 1, then of course there is great hope for them to win the title every season. I believe that, but the competition this season is a bit tougher compared to last season. For next match PSG's against Reims, it looks easy and it is very possible to see PSG win it.

For sure, they will. Tomorrow they will have a game with Riyadh XI, with the existing line-up on the Riyadh XI, PSG should easily get their win.

It was only a friendly match, so I don't think it will have much impact on the official competition even if PSG lose to Riyadh XI.

It's only a friendly match and I don't think it will be too ambitious because obviously in this case it's likely that Galtier will just give a little more time to their bench players while waiting to see if someone deserves to be in the main squad later or not.
On the other hand, matches like this are also good if used to test several attack patterns, especially considering that in the previous matches in Ligue 1, they always couldn't play well.

[Velvet78]

Maybe there is still a big difference among PSG and the rest of the teams in terms of strength. But the current look of the standings is still not very well for PSG. Because their closest followers have caught up with them a lot. PSG need to care about their league games more than this if they want to secure their league title. Otherwise we might see another team making it just as Lille did.

The board would also expect Galtier to win the league title for sure. If they win the Champions League title as well they will have reached their main goal of course.

PSG have lost two of their four matches in Ligue 1 after FIFA World Cup 2022 despite still exist on the top standing position in Ligue 1 remaining three points left from Lens. I don't sure still inconsistency performance will loss chance keep lead standing position actually Lens have consistent performance than PSG.

For sure, they will. Tomorrow they will have a game with Riyadh XI, with the existing line-up on the Riyadh XI, PSG should easily get their win.

I don't know what urgent this friendly match for PSG, seems commercial important only for PSG have friendly match against Riyadh XI and there are have Cristiano Ronaldo, due inconsistent performance from PSG better keep focus how back recovery and prepare team for French Cup round 32 and up coming next match in Ligue 1 against Reims on Monday 30 January.

Monaco have started to climb the positions in the league. We see them having reached the fourth spot already. They will still need to come a long way to compete harder with Lens and Marseille for the Champions League spots though. But this is still an important progress for them. Because we have really got accustomed to seeing Monaco like this in the recent years. They make a really bad start and try to make up for it for a long time. I wonder when this will change. But I assume it won't unless they strengthen their squad more.

Yeah I think it is related to the quality of their squad as well as the management. They can make better additions to play bigger. When it comes to the management I would have liked to see another Leonardo Jardim period here. Monaco have had really good memories with him.

[imamusma]

PSG have lost two of their four matches in Ligue 1 after FIFA World Cup 2022 despite still exist on the top standing position in Ligue 1 remaining three points left from Lens. I don't sure still inconsistency performance will loss chance keep lead standing position actually Lens have consistent performance than PSG.

PSG still leads the standings with 3 point advantage over Lens. Anything might make this standing change, but PSG is not easy to let go. Even if they lost 2 of their last 3 matches, that doesn't mean PSG will lose their place. I know PSG are the favorites to win the Ligue 1 title and maybe you will admit it too.

For the next match, Reims might not be able to hold PSG from winning even though Reims has never lost more than its last 6 matches. Reims held PSG to a draw last October, but for the next match they will most likely lose at the Parc des Princes.

I do not think that it is because other teams are doing well, I think it is because PSG hasn't done as well as they possibly could. I know that it sounds like I am bashing PSG here by saying they have played badly, but the reality is that they are actually playing quite well when they want to. You can see the difference, when they want to play as well as they should, they could beat anyone, hell there are very few teams in the entire world that could beat them.

But when they just don't care, give me a second division team that is motivated and they could have a chance to beat PSG. Which mans their problem is more about lack of motivation to play well, instead of actually being capable of playing well.

I wonder how you determined that PSG is a more dangerous club? They couldn't even win their group losing first place to Benfica 
I would call PSG the team with the most stellar names, but as a team they have never confirmed their status. I hope that doesn't happen this season either

If we look at their distance to their rivals in each league, both are the same distance as their opponents even though the Bundesliga has not started yet and will start soon with several matches including the Bayern Munich match also at home to RB Leipzig. The point is PSG and Bayern Munich are both leading the standings with a gap of four points at the moment which will certainly give them a little flexibility in facing matches in their respective leagues.

[Sandra_hakeem]

PSG goes with al nassr tomorrow and it's amuses me to see the so-called Legendary Ronaldo, running away from laliga to England and back to Saudi just to play against Leo Messi again? What a career blunder!!.
It'll be interesting to start with the early kickoff tomorrow just to affirm either the strength of the Arabian team or the french legendary, league 1 team -- PSG.
A post came with pictures how PSG players arrived Saudi today and ofcourse, they're getting much prepared for the game tomorrow. In my opinion -- since it's a friendly match -- I think PSG would go home with more goals....why?? I don't think the Arabian league is as competitive as the french leagus.

It seems people determined how dangerous PSG is based on the trio owned by PSG but the fact that those trio could do nothing last season. I think that people were seeing those trio are overrated players that can win anything instantly and become a big threat to any other team. What you have been saying above was the truth about PSG. The club fille with so many superstars but it was rarely achieving the prestigious trophy like UCL. PSG needs more time to prove its existence as a big club.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think not only you but many other gamblers also lost money on Strasbourg vs Lens. This was certainly surprising because Lens was clearly the most favored team in the match. But I think your loss for this match is nothing new in football match even though we firmly believe that the favorite team will win. It's hard to say no to Lens in that game even if the odds are low compared to a draw. But I'm sure Lens will be better in the upcoming matches.

After beating PSG at home mostly peoples were feeling now Lens is at his best, and they can defeat Strasbourg easily because they are in relegation zone and their performance is also not good with only one win and nine draws, but things turn not in favour of them, and we have four goals in first half, but after this Strasbourg play balance game and mostly match in second half were played in middle which not allowed Lens to have any good winning chance which was surely frustrating because they need to win this match and widen their gape against Marseille but now it's just two points and PSG is surely going to have good lead at the top because they are improved after joining of Messi and Neymar and now have next match against Rennes which is also not easy.

Well, I really like that Lens have this promotion, this was the twist I wanted them to take in Ligue 1, because to be honest, PSG's hegemony is affected quite a bit and that's something I like, because it makes other teams feel Realize that things can happen, and that PSG is not a team that is invincible, but that now any team, if they set their minds to it, can give PSG a good surprise, it doesn't matter if it is a PSG with Messi, Mbappé and Neymar The stars here may be in trouble, because we all know that Mbaoppé doesn't get along with Ney and Messi, now, if we put in context that this league is getting good, yes, it is.

For now PSG is not reliable, this team has all it takes to win any match but we see the reverse being the case always dashing the hope of their fans, french senior league is becoming had for PSG as a team because the teams that are seen as a work over for them is no more soft as been perceived by spectators, with the number of world quality players in PSG ordinary is suppose to keep them ahead of any club in their league. Lets hope to see them winning in coming  days.

Despite that in the last five league outing of psg, they lost 2 and won 3, they are still at the top of the Ligue one table with 3 points ahead of Lens. This shows that they are superior still but the good news is that we might  not be seeing psg win league again with upto 12 to 15 points.  This shows that other teams in the league are doing well.

If PSG keeps performing like that and im sure that another team like merseille will able to surpass PSG. three points were nothing if PSG will be having the same result as before. PSG seems so struggle with its performance. Messi, Mbappe and neymar were not able making the club to win easily against another team. I think that this gonna be a red flag for PSG caused by losing points meant PSG was giving more opportunity to the its competitor to be even closer.
Will psg able to win the current season? i doubt if PSG will make it but at least PSG has the biggest chance compared with another team.

Well, at the beginning of the season I had a lot of faith in Marseille, Lens and Lille, but now at this moment that PSG is happening and that apart from all they have their great players there to do whatever it takes for the team, it's strange that they are losing, what I dare to think is that they are fighting among themselves, things are not going well within the team and that is why they cannot understand each other and that is the results they have, this is something that cannot be denied, yes a team like PSG that has everything is in trouble of being caught by another team within their league when they were practically sure it was something that would make this Ligue 1 spicier.

Cristian Romero explains why he screamed in Kylian Mbappe's face and taunted Lionel Messi

There was no shortage of players who let their emotions get the better of them during the showpiece game with Tottenham defender Romero, who starred for Argentina throughout the tournament, among them.

"I yelled in Mbappe's face to celebrate our goal," Romero explained on D Sports Radio. Because Enzo (Fernandez, Romero's international teammate) had spoken to him and he had treated him really badly. Then I celebrated Leo's goal in his face."

Romero continued, as he reflected upon his experience during the nerve-shredding penalty shootout: "I saw Leo's penalty, it was the only one I saw. Afterwards, I didn't see any more penalties, because I was kneeling and praying."
