French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[blue Snow]

It looks like we are going to watch a season very similar to the previous one. PSG have already made the point gap with Marseille eight now.

This match is looks like a real discrepancy between them, PSG is full of star while Marseille is a team that looks like a normal who filling up with ordinary players. So this match also show us if PSG is still there and maybe until the end of session. 8 points is not too far but I think is hard to Marseille to chase them because the realistic is they can try to stay on champions league zone only.

So this match also show us if PSG is still there and maybe until the end of session. 8 points is not too far but I think is hard to Marseille to chase them because the realistic is they can try to stay on champions league zone only.

In Ligue 1, with direct matches between competitors, like PSG vs Marseille we will have better view on what team are stronger and deserved to be a champion. PSG dominate the league but they have bigger ambition and task, it's Champions League. Therefore many times they did not spend enough concentration for Ligue 1 and lost points against weak and average clubs.

However, their concentration will be highest when they meet direct competitors and like we saw, they easily won against Marseille. It is a very strong voice and declaration from PSG that in Ligue 1, they are champions if they want to get it.

[LUCKMCFLY]

however, Marseille and Other teams have been getting very close to PSG, this has led Ligue 1 to become very good, let's hope it continues with your emotions, although I say, PSG is PSG and when they start to play well it is something else.

PSG like to get under pressure from their player self when lost or draw. The public only wants the winning and they don't want to know if the team lost, or draws, so if happens public will blame the player, and the players got pressured and want to leave the clubs. I think 5 points is still big, Marseille, Monaco and lens it will be difficult to pursue PSG, because performance between them almost the same.

Yes, that's what happened, the public or fans may not know anything about what is being faced in the PSG environment. What's more, they are currently in a not-so-good condition, a lot of speculation has sprung up and they don't often hear rumors about the move of one of their players in the upcoming transfer market. The difference in points with the other teams above might make PSG a little safe but it's clear they have to continue to win if they don't want to overtake the points.

Whatever the reason, I don't see PSG as good, in Ligue 1 there isn't that much of a problem, they have a good advantage, I really don't think they will let themselves be caught, although there are some teams that want to, but can't define the goals well. goals because they lose or tie, and if you want to catch up with PSG you have to win every game, the game that caught my attention was PSG vs Bayern in the UCL, because I saw PSG with everything they had, and it wasn't enough not even to tie, although of course when Mbappé scored the goal I thought they were going to continue doing more, but when a goal is disallowed your motivation goes down, in the same way it is good that these teams know that things are not as easy as before, both in UCL as in Ligue 1.


Here is something that causes controversy and that can leave PSG in a bad light:

Report: PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi under investigation for kidnap and torture

The Ligue 1 club's president is being accused of detaining man who allegedly acquired sex tapes and documents in relation to the 2022 World Cup.

The president of Paris Saint-Germain football club, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, is facing an investigation in France over allegations of kidnapping and torture. The case relates to a complaint made by Franco-Algerian lobbyist, Tayeb Benabderrahmane, who claims he was detained in Qatar for six months in 2020 because he possessed "sensitive" documents, including a smartphone belonging to Mr Al-Khelaifi, and compromising materials.

It is alleged that Mr Benabderrahmane had documents relating to the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, as well as the awarding of the 2026 and 2030 World Cup TV rights to beIN Media, of which Mr Al-Khelaifi is president. The lobbyist claims he obtained the materials from Mr Al-Khelaifi's butler.

Although sometimes everything can be set up to make certain people feel bad, it is a pity that problems of this nature always arise that tarnish fútbol.

Psg team totally destroyed marseille yesterday and secured the title in my opinion after monaco loss yesterday, despite the score being 3 0 marseille team had as many chances as psg team did but they were not surgical in the finish and not to mention the huge role donnaruma played in the win since he saved many dangerous goal chances, this win will give them a huge moral boost when facing bayern in the champions league.

Marseille needs to be more vigilant in the future, Monaco or Lens can get rid of Marseille from its current position at any time. Marseille's small mistake will lead them to a worse situation this season
Positions two, three and four in the standings are currently only 2 points apart, this is will be even more exciting and I am looking forward to surprises from the three teams before entering the end of the season.

Marseille is just 2 points ahead of Monaco and Lens. If Marseille loses any of their next matches, they will lose second place in the table. Marseille, Monaco, and Lens all dropped points in the last match. And so we don't see any change in the positions of the teams in the points table. Teams need to be a bit more stable if they want to qualify for the Champions League. However, this season's Ligue 1 is very competitive. Several teams are performing well. And so the teams at the top of the table are consistently failing to pick up points. However, this has made Ligue 1 more competitive.

They (Marseille, Monaco and Lens) are participating in their own exciting race for a second position in Ligue 1. The first position for a champion belongs to PSG, I am not doubtful at any day about that. With Messi, Neymar, Mbappe and good midfielders like Veratti, Vitinha, it's a big shock if PSG won't win Ligue 1 in this season. Messi has better adaptation in his second season in Paris and his contribution is bigger. This helps Neymar and Mbappe have more chances to score goals and will prevent other clubs to take the championship title from PSG.

Among three clubs Marseille, Monaco and Lens, they are similar and it's really hard to predict what team will end with a second position. They don't have big differences in player quality and total points and anything can be changed on the final day.

[LittleBitFunny]

For a long time, the Real Madrid management wanted to get Mbappe into the team. Every season we hear rumours that Mbappe will join Real Madrid. But he ended up renewing his contract with PSG each time. Mbappe has disappointed Real Madrid fans several times.

From bad treatment of Mbappe for Real Madrid, they stopped their plan on Mbappe a long time ago too. I don't know Real Madrid will knock Mbappe's and PSG's doors again but very likely they won't.

If Real Madrid has stopped Mbappe's plans, why aren't they yet to find a suitable replacement for Benzema? Benzema is old enough now. Shouldn't Madrid have found Benzema's replacement this season?

Real Madrid now needs a suitable replacement for Benzema. Mbappe is a very talented player. But the problem is that he plays in Vini's position. Real Madrid does not need a replacement for Vini. However, if Mbappe joins Madrid, Ancelotti may change his strategy to include both Vini and Mbappe in the squad.

They need a super replacement for Benzema and have yet found anyone. Haaland already joined Manchester City and Mbappe still binds himself with PSG. They have Vini and Rodrygo but these players are not suitable for a striker position and I don't think they will adapt to become a striker in their careers.

Apart from Haaland and Mbappe, no other player can be thought of as a worthy replacement for Benzema. Rodrygo is undoubtedly talented. But still, he is not experienced enough. It is not possible for Rodrygo to consistently perform as well as Benzema. We still don't know who Ancelotti is interested in replacing Benzema. But if Madrid does not find a suitable replacement for Benzema before next season, they will face a big problem.

Neymar and Messi are rumored to leave PSG. In this case, I don't think PSG will risk any decision to sell Mbappe at the moment. I think we will see Mbappe in the PSG team next season as well.

I am sure with you that Messi and Neymar won't join Real Madrid. However with Messi and Neymar departures that very likely to happen in a next summer, Mbappe will have more reasons to stay in Paris. After those star players leave the club, Mbappe will be the king there. So Real Madrid have to look for other options.

Mbappe will control the PSG team if Neymar and Messi leave PSG. PSG's management has always taken Mbappe's decision seriously. And PSG probably won't have any problem increasing Mbappe's wages. And so we may see Mbappe with PSG's squad in the next few seasons.

There is a gap between the second and first place of the league, Marseille and PSG. They need to wait for PSG to lose a point and the eight points they need to get in a lot for Marseille or any other teams especially when they are racing with teams like PSG and their superstar players so if they somehow take PSG in the league it can be the most memorable thing for Marseille but for now they have to just make careful to don't lose their position in the league to Monaco.

Isn't it like that too.
Mbappe's condition with the authority he has now can be said that he mastered the real PSG.
But indeed that is a definite thing because he was given the authority and freedom for that so that it was not too strange actually with the condition of Mbappe apart from now there were Messi and Neymar or not later.

I'm not sure why the stars like Neymar and Messi want to leave PSG, because there they can have good salaries and they achieve many titles with this team even if these two leave PSG still a player like Mbappe can shine and even without these two players he can be the only legend of PSG and help this team, so I expect to see Mbappe even performing better if these two leave PSG.

Every footballer has a dream in the history of playing for a title-winning club such as Real Madrid or Barcelona. Maybe Bayern. That is, not just in expensive clubs where a lot of stars play, but in clubs where they can really fulfil themselves and get the cups they haven't had yet. PSG is simply the most expensive club, but by no means the best.

[Z-tight]

Psg can surely pay them well, but they can leave because they are not happy in the team. For many weeks there have been rumors that Neymar is not happy with the club, and that the club also want to sell him but they haven't found the team that is interested to spend their money to buy him, because it is going to be a lot of money. As for Messi, he has won everything, so the fans believe he isn't playing for anything again, so they don't think that he can help them win the champions league.

I believe it is possible that they may leave, or maybe one of them will, but psg have enough money, so even if they lose both players this summer, they would buy world class players that would replace them, they can't leave everything to Mbappe, only him alone cannot help them to win trophies.

[slaman29]

We all knew it was too good to be true but I feel the most dumb for getting my hopes up again lol

Should have, Monaco had no trouble against Nice at Stade Louis II, their own headquarters. after all, Monaco is one level above Nice. but in fact, Monaco was unable to maximize the momentum when playing at home to overthrow Nice. to be honest, in this match I chose to bet on Nice. not because of the odds available for Nice, but because Monaco have put in quite a tough match. Previously, Monaco played a crucial match in the Europa League playoffs.

Based on my considerations, it seems that Monaco will experience a slight decrease in performance due to an overly busy schedule. My assumption is that this fight will be won by Nice with a narrow score. but in fact, Nice was able to overthrow Monaco with a landslide score. as a result, Manaco is 10 points behind PSG.
Next, Monaco will return to play with full performance. and it seems, the game against Troyes is not a big deal for them to win.

Cool, you should start sharing your big wins here, which book are you placing your money on and what kind of odds did you get for this? I would love to see more people sharing bets for inspiration or whatever you want to call it.

Also I'm wondering now actually if betting against PSG in their next game is worth it, or at least with a good handicap or Double Chance. Just to keep things exciting plus odds are not bad and Nantes, you never know right?

I read the article you attached and it is a wild story for sure. The first thing that comes to my mind reading this is the Mohammed bin Salman - Kashoggi case when Kashoggi was killed in the Saudi Arabian ambassy in Turkey. But what's more important that came to my mind is that this journalist still being alive is a miracle given how sensitive the material is said to be. Especially when they already detained him for six months, I doubt that he expected to come out alive ever. If any of the materials do exist why would they let Benabderrahmane go? It is a bit of a contradiction because they should have known that he is going to make it public. Lots of trouble for PSG and Hakimi is also being accused of raping a 24-year old woman. Kidnapping, torture, rape. Those are the headlines PSG doesn't quite like I assume...

[rahmad2nd]

~snip~

Even though in the next match PSG will only play against Nantes, to be honest, because PSG also has to prepare its best squad to play in the second leg in the Champions League. So it seems that playing against Nantes is likely that PSG will not be easy to beat Nantes.

Because it looks like PSG will not play all of their main players in the match against Nantes later. But yes, even so, of course PSG will still be the team that is at the top of the standings in Ligue 1 because after all, PSG has the ability to maintain its top position in the Ligue 1 standings.

And yes, we are like minded. it seems, it is likely that Galtier will not field his full squad in the match against Nantes. after all, Nastes is not too tough an opponent for PSG. Galtier will focus more on the match later, when PSG visit Bayern Munich headquarters. but that does not mean, PSG is not targeting full points in this match. because after all, Galtier is targeting victory over Nantes to widen the gap in points from its competitors.

Meanwhile, we have not heard any news regarding Neymar's injury. also, I haven't gotten a prediction for the line-up that Galtier will play during the PSG vs Nantes match. it seems, this fight will take place tough if Galtier doesn't play the core players.

PSG are ranked first on the Ligue 1 table with topping Marseille with 8 points clear. The Parisians have a total stats of 19W 3D 3L in 25 games in their domestic league this season. A good path for Christophe Galtier to pull his team back together inother to get good structuring position against Bayern Munich in the champions league. They have a game against Nantes but I think it's going to be an easy win for the Ligue 1 giant. The club main focus is setting their hands on the UEFEA trophy, they have all it takes to lift the title but there's some tough club that needs to be kicked out before they ascend to the next phase, it's Christophe Galtier job to make sure their dream becomes a reality.

PSG also do not want to keep Neymar and Messi, because their salary fund is too large . Neymar and Messi this season also did not bring many achievements as expected. Neymar is often unable to play because of injury, Messi is probably older, making him not as bright as expected. I think PSG are looking to replace them with young talents like Mbappe, the salary fund will be lower, the young talents will serve them longer.
I agree that Mbappe is a good player, but I think without the good assists like Neymar and Messi, he wouldn't be able to shine like he is now. If Neymar and Messi leave PSG, PSG need to find a player who is really good at creating assists to shine with Mbappe.

Although sometimes everything can be set up to make certain people feel bad, it is a pity that problems of this nature always arise that tarnish fútbol.

I am 100% certain that certain rich people at the very top probably all have these type of tapes. In fact, when panama papers and similar things came about, where we have seen the clear corruption of the rich people, people who avoided taxes in billions of dollars, and even sex tape of so many famous people, it literally did nothing for their career at all.

I understand that you may want to hide all of this information, it's only natural to want to hide it, but when once it's out, you would just need to take it and move on, in a year it will be all gone anyway and wouldn't really matter. This response to just kidnap and torture a person in retaliation? That's sick, it's disgusting and the owner should be banned from being an owner straight up, how can we support a person who kidnapped another person and tortured him to keep being an owner?

[rendravolt]

Nantes vs Lens will meet in the Coupe De France today and it looks like the match will be quite exciting before the Ligue 1 week will start again. However, Nantes, who is the host, has had a bad record in their last 5 matches at home and only got 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats, while Lens has a pretty good record away from home with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. I think this match will be Lens's victory, but a draw can still occur if Lens fails to take advantage of the opportunity to win.

Lens should be able to win this match easily, seeing from their position in Ligue 1 also Lens have a better advantage than Nantes. Even though this is the home game of Nantes, but as you said Nantes has a bad home record, conversely Lens can be more convincing in the away games they play so Lens should be able to win and I think it will really happen.

Right now, we have two quarterfinals of the Coupe de France as first is already ended with the win of Lyon against Ligue 2 team Grenoble with the score of 2 - 1 currently Nantes vs Lens is going to end for first half with the score of 1 - 1 as Lens take early lead, but Nantes is also doing good, and they scored reply just after few minutes with both teams are doing good job, and we are going to have action packed second half as well.

In third quarterfinal of the day Toulouse vs Rodez it's also full of action as we have 2 goals from home team Toulouse within just 10 minutes and look like they are going to have good win against another Ligue 2 team which also dong good job in early rounds after this we have last quarterfinal of the day with Marseille will host Annecy which is also going to be one-sided as Marseille is hot after losing match in French League against PSG badly.
