French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Rabi3]

I would say Lens is the underdog team. Not many people are interested in discussing Lens. PSG are always on top of the headlines. And everyone is comfortable discussing the PSG team. Because this squad has a lot of star players. But Lens has been playing well this season. And I wouldn't be surprised if they beat PSG to win the title. Lens is now only 3 points behind PSG. If PSG drop points in any of their next matches, they will lose top spot very quickly. And so if they want to be at the top of the table and want to be champions, PSG team will have to play well and win all the upcoming matches.

I think you should take a look at the quotes that bookmakers give for teams contenders for victory in League 1. Let's take the first five:

Paris Saint Germain 1.03

Lance 21.00

Olympique Marseille 26.00

Rennes 81.00

Monaco 101.00

Obviously there is PSG and everyone else. If you have even the slightest idea that PSG may not become French champions, then you should definitely bet on Lens - x21 is a serious win even if you bet beer money.

When I see odds like this I know how hard it is for Lens or Marseille to win Ligue 1 and beat PSG in their race, I think any bet on teams other than PSG to win Ligue 1 this year is a waste of money.

Lens is doing great this season by having more points ant to be in the second position but I don't see how lens will be on top of the league  when their is PSG.  PSG has always been known for leading the French league , I don't see lens having it.

This season Lens is still a temporary complement to second place and if Lens can continue to be able to stay in that position until the end of the season, then that will also be much better for him because next season he can immediately be in another competition such as the Champions League. As for PSG, it cannot be denied anymore because it has dominated the French Ligue 1 for a long time.

PSG have a match against Pay De Cassel today for the Coupe de France. It was an easy match for PSG, who had played Neymar and Mbappe from the start.
Mbappe has scored 4 goals so far, and the other 2 goals were scored by Neymar and Soller. Winning 0-6 over the opposing team will make PSG reach the round of 16.

Perhaps it would be good to wish these players some motivation and a good mood ahead of the match against Reims next week. PSG are required to get into their best form again after suffering 2 defeats in their last 3 matches. Now they are only 3 points ahead of Lens, and that is really not a good thing.

Well mbappe has conquered france domestic tournament.

With 5 goals he scored in a 0-7 final score , marking his 191 goal record at psg ... 9 goals away to become the all time top goalscorer .. with his age at 24 y.o it's indeed extraordinary achievement. 240 games 191 goals for psg , his stats shows he is the future goat.

PSG is one of the best teams in League One. Currently, PSG team's attack is fantastic. Three of the best players in the world are in PSG's attack. They can be expected to be champions this season as well.

TBH, those great players were useless if PSG will not able to win the game. You're overreacteing those players. The season is still a long way to go and some competitors like Marseille and Lens have small gaps the PSG. I hope that PSG will be facing another loss and then Lens can have same points as PSG. I think that the result between lens and brest has proven that PSG was getting the pressure right now. Its competitors become even closer from any week. I wanna see french league will be winning by lens or Marseille.
A bit bored to see that if french league always dominated by PSG.

PSG's next match will face Reims, the quality is slightly different from Rennes. I don't know what's wrong with PSG, their performance looks unstable. now the points difference is getting closer. and this is an opportunity for Lens to continue to stick to PSG.
maybe next week is not the right time for Lens to chase PSG. PSG has a high probability of winning against Reims. but if Lens can stay consistent with winning points, it could just make Lens reach the top faster.

Nothing wrong with PSG. Reims would not be a hard game for PSG. I pick PSG for the upcoming match in the french league. PSG won against pays de cassel with 7 goals, pays de cassel was the sixth-tier team in France. Reims didn't perform so well too,
I will go all in PSG in the upcoming match. It seems like that mbappe was coming back again after seeing the result against pays de cassel.

It seems like that pays de cassel has zero chance to win against PSG but its luck can help the team to win against PSG.

If the chance could be expressed with minus lol. Pays de Cassel lost by 7 goals vs PSG. Dunno why Galtier put some main players in the starting eleven like Mbappe and Neymar then added Hakimi. The risk of seeing these players injured in such training mode match is quite high.
Pays de Cassel entertained a bit PSG, no more since they barely annoyed them

I agree with this, i think this match will not be a problem for psg especially with the return of mbape, I believe the team will improve more and recover their real level, they will face Bayern Munchen next month and the next few matches will be a good opportunity to improve their preformence

Galtier was trying to put some respects to the pays de cassel. galtier heard what cassel wants before. Cassel would be so glad to lose against the world class players like mbappe, neymar, and messi. that has become a great achievement for pays de cassel.
We do know that pays de cassel was a low tier club in the french. it's an honor for cassel to lose against a team with so many world class players. Galtier respects its opponent by played world-class trio in that match.

PSG has more goals than Lens, so if for example Lens wins and PSG loses the next match then they have the same points but PSG are still on top. Unless PSG loses big and Lens can win big, then it's possible that Lens will take over at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.
But even so, it will not be easy to maintain a position at the top of the standings because of course there will be greater pressure. But besides that, at this moment the top three teams are very close in points gap, so the slightest mistake will result in their position being taken over.

First of all, I do not think that PSG is going to lose the next match. It will actually be something interesting to see PSG lose consistently. But I highly doubt that is going to happen. And another thing is at the same time it is going to be hard for Lens to be consistent enough and give PSG a hard fight throughout the season. Because they simply do not have the squad that PSG has right now. I am not saying that Lens are a bad team. But if we compare the strength of both teams we have to say that PSG is going to be the stronger team.

PSG has a good team and a history of league titles, but sports upsets may happen. Lens may play well, so don't underestimate them. In forthcoming games, it will be intriguing to compare the teams. It's also important to note that a team's success depends on both the players and the coach's tactics. PSG may struggle with Lens's unusual style. Player health, availability, and form may decide the game. It's fascinating to watch a professional squad execute under pressure. Because the outcome is uncertain, supporters can just relax and enjoy the game

[OcTradism]

It is true that PSG has a good team and a history of league victory, but it is crucial to remember that anything can happen in sports. Lens should not be underestimated since they have shown the capacity to play effectively and cause surprising upsets. In the future games, it will be intriguing to observe how the teams measure up against one another.

They have built up their domination history in Ligue 1 and they are doing it better than Lyon in the past. I said they're doing it better because with their abundant finance resource, they will not sell their star players to improve their treasury and won't easily lose their competitiveness like Lyon.

I don't exclude future when PSG will no longer get owner from Quatar and their finance will no longer be good like now. If bad things won't happen financially, PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1 many more years. They can lose the title in one season but if we look at Ligue 1 in 5 years, 10 years or 20 years, they're actually winner and dominator.

PSG has more goals than Lens, so if for example Lens wins and PSG loses the next match then they have the same points but PSG are still on top. Unless PSG loses big and Lens can win big, then it's possible that Lens will take over at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.

Goal difference is important because PSG have so powerful attacking and if they won't end this season with less total points than Lens or any club, it is very difficult for other clubs to compare with them about goal difference to be a winner of Ligue 1.

But even so, it will not be easy to maintain a position at the top of the standings because of course there will be greater pressure. But besides that, at this moment the top three teams are very close in points gap, so the slightest mistake will result in their position being taken over.

PSG are familiar with a first position but other clubs are not. So if they take over a first position from PSG, it's very likely that they will lose it shortly after a few match days to PSG. Because they can not maintain their good performance with pressure from top position and from PSG.

Yes, it was an easy match for PSG and beautiful 5 goals from Mbappe, but I don’t quite understand why Galtier puts the main team against such a weak team? I can understand this if only his players are in need of a boost in confidence, but they seem to be fine as it is. Well, maybe it's all for the sake of playing practice, although with such an opponent it looks like a regular training session for PSG.

Actually, PSG doesn't need to use some of their core players in this match, as you said, the possibility of injury-prone is very large in a match like this and it doesn't rule out the possibility of players getting injured. But fortunately the PSG players after the game finished nothing happened. They must remember that the competition in Ligue 1 this season is very fierce, several teams are starting to wake up and have a small point gap, so Galtier must reconsider it in the next match if they want to use their core players.

Those goals were scored by Mbappe against a relegated team from division 5 to division 6. Is it really worth getting excited about? The only surprises were that the main team played against such a weak opponent and that the score was 7-0. It is rare for teams to play their best players against low-level competition. It is usually their C team that fills up. In the game, the team faced a team from the sixth tier. It would really help PSG if they could improve or grow the chemistry between their players, which would help them perform better in the future.

I don't know what happen with PSG manager after announcing starting eleven with many main players, there are have Mbappe, Neymar and Sergio Ramos although several of them change later. Several main player are in the name list when PSG have friendly match with Riyadh XI last several days. I don't think with team under level PSG have use their several main players.

Actually PSG have bad performance on Ligue 1 after defeating by  Rennes and few days later they have prepare for up coming next match against Reims. Got lucky with all main player PSG not get injured and all them already for next match and PSG keep behind few points left from Lens on current Ligue 1 standing position.

I still feel confident PSG will remain champions this season. Although several times they lost because some of their best players were injured or have not joined. They are still quite strong in Ligue1 the rest of the game is also still quite a lot. So there is no need to worry, at this time the difference in points is still enough to make PSG feel comfortable.
Then regarding the match in Arabia, it was a profit and money decision only. I think it just solidifies PSG's schedule. They have no profit other than money. Because the match was run in the middle of the ongoing competition.

Moreover, the Champions League event is about to start, of course it will be a loss in itself if their core players are injured, even without Messi, but Mbappe makes a goal feast in that match, I think this looks like training for PSG players and also provides entertainment for all their supporters.

Yes, coach Galtier should have used 70% of his tier players in this match, so a 3-0 win would have made them advance to the next round. But it looks like this might be a warm-up option before PSG's other match against Reims later. Well, now is the time to refocus on the team's performance in Ligue 1.

Moreover, the Champions League event is about to start, of course it will be a loss in itself if their core players are injured, even without Messi, but Mbappe makes a goal feast in that match, I think this looks like training for PSG players and also provides entertainment for all their supporters.

True, the champions league will be rolling in a few weeks, but giving minutes to the main players is very risky in a match that most people think will be easy for PSG to win. Indeed this is like a practice match for PSG with 7 goals it is impossible for any team to reverse this situation.

IMO, it's not a good idea if SPG doesn't field their full squad in the Coupe De France match. even though it is not a prestigious competition event, Galtier still has to play some of their core players. only Messi is rested by Galtier, maybe he is preparing for the match in Ligue 1.

I think Galtier still has to field his main squad, why, to keep his players fit. PSG has a break before starting their matches in Ligue 1, that's why PSG also had a friendly match with Al-Nassr. there is still one week remaining before PSG host Reims at home. so, Galtier still has to play his core players so that they stay fit when carrying out matches in the Ligue 1 competition. Plus, Galtier tried to experiment again with different formation patterns in this match and the results were quite satisfactory and they could consider this match as just practice.

Messi will be leaving PSG soon. I think that this will be greatly impacting the club. It has proven that PSG was relying upon its stars. PSG can do nothing without its stars. PSG will be losing one of its best player as messi already canceled to extend its contract with PSG. Lens and Marseille have a bigger chance to take PSG's place. PSG can lose against the club that is placed below it. It seems like that mbappe and friends can do nothing when it was facing a club like rennes and lens.
Marseille may able to beat PSG too. Lens gonna be the main threat for the current position of PSG.

[AakZaki]

PSG are familiar with a first position but other clubs are not. So if they take over a first position from PSG, it's very likely that they will lose it shortly after a few match days to PSG. Because they can not maintain their good performance with pressure from top position and from PSG.

So far, consistency has been the key to being able to win the league. PSG have shown that in a number of seasons. This season they are also still pretty good, it's just that they are like many games outside of FIFA matches. One of them is a trial in Saudi Arabia. Indeed, in the end everything is a matter of business. They seem to have a big advantage to be able to play in Saudi Arabia. Maybe it's in the competition break, but it's quite risky because the players can get injured. Besides, maybe they will be more tired.
For now the league, I feel confident they will still be champions. But for UCL it seems like it's pretty hard.
