French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[imamusma]

It is very, very surprising indeed for PSG this season and again PSG did not succeed in the Champions League even though they already have expensive and talented players like Messi and Mbappe. The Ligue1 trophy is very common for PSG and also for Messi and Mbappe so it is also true that Mbappe wants to move to another league one day to improve his career for the better because for now Mbappe is still under contract with PSG so Mbappe can't do anything what other than staying at PSG.

There's nothing really surprising about PSG's failure in the Champions League, I think they have a lot of holes to be patched in some central positions. You can say PSG have Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, but there is no player of comparable quality to replace any of them when injured. While PSG are lacking in midfield, their midfielders are not strong enough and their quality is not really up to par with their 3 forwards.

PSG's defense has Ramos, Hakimi, Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe, but both of them are injured so who really deserves to take his place. So this means that PSG lost because of their own weaknesses, not because Mbappe and Messi failed to help the team. Football is a team game, so if a team is not balanced it is difficult for them to win the match.

Absolutely right. Football is a game that needs to create a great relationship from the defense line app to the offensive line so that any team will be able to perform well. But this thing is sorely lacking in the PSG team. As a result, the team is currently unbalanced.

[slapper]

PSG is only active in the French league. They are eliminated in all other leagues and tournaments, in the CL and also in the French Cup. The sights can therefore be fully focused on the French league, but if you see the lead, that is no longer interesting. How do players like Messi and Mbappe deal with that? They are used to playing at the highest level for a long time. I think Mbappe would be wise to move to another team, say in the Spanish league with Real Madrid maybe somewhere in the EPL. PSG is not running as a team and I don't think that will happen in the coming years. Probe of his time and talent. Messi ditto.

Given their star-studded roster of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe, the footballing world is buzzing over PSG's recent disappointing performance in the Champions League. Success in this "beautiful game" is not, however, based solely on an individual's skill. To improve as a team, PSG has to strengthen their weak links. PSG needs to recognise the importance of team chemistry and coordination if they want to create a lasting impact in the tournament. Fans of Paris Saint-Germain shouldn't despair, though; the club will likely bounce back even stronger the next season thanks to a more strategic and unified squad.

Despite the fact that PSG has the best footballers in the world, many people are mocking PSG after seeing this bad state of the team. A poor performance in the Champions League has really dragged the team down.

Lille hosted Lyon in the most important match of the week yesterday.Lille, who led 2-0, could not protect this lead and ended in a 3-3 draw. Jonathan David and Lacazette's goal duel did not produce a winner. We can call it an important loss of 2 points for Lille. 3-3 draw in a match in which they were 2-0 up at home means that the point difference between them and the teams in the race is widening. Instead of winning this match and becoming 5th, they remained in 6th place. Today, both Rennes and PSG go to important away games and both teams will tire their opponents until the last minute for points.

I think saying that it is truly disappointing is too much of an exaggeration when you play against Bayern Munich in the round of the last 16. The end result would have been the same for both teams. If Bayern lost, the only thing that is remembered is that they lost in the round of the last 16, not against whom they lost. That feels a bit wrong when you have to assess a performance of a team. If the best of the best play against each other early on, one is going home with a big disappointment no matter what.

In this case Bayern was so much better than PSG. I think we can agree on that. PSG needs to approach the idea of becoming successful differently.

Even though losing a game is always a bad thing and can have a negative effect on any team, PSG still lost the game against Bayern Munich, which was not a weak team. However, they spent millions of dollars on their players and hoped to see their team even win the champions league, but still they are in the first round of the league and are the first hopefuls of winning the championship, which is not any worse than what it was for the previous team.

Despite having so many good players, I don't understand why the team is so messy. But I think the coach of PSG team has made some bad decisions, if the team players apply some new strategy, then the team can probably do something great.

For the fact that PSG has 3 out of the five best players in the world or the fact that they have the most lethal defender in their ranks shouldn't make football fans to see them as a failure because it is one thing to have quality players and also another thing to make good use of those players and that is why I think that their main problem is tactical problem. They need to get a manager who knows how to man manage a team, a no-nonsense manager who will be respected as feared by the team and finally a manager who can make them play like a team instead of individual players. That is what they need to become a European heavyweight club.

They have three best players in the world and they have a stable financial system to guarantee players about their salaries in the future which can be a reason for them to play with better conditions than other teams so I guess the fans expected to see more from PSG it's not coming odd, in the other hand, the players were bought for the champions league title if you ask me.

Auxerre vs Rennes

In the first meeting Rennes can win with big scores from Auxerre 5-0 but for this match i don't think this result can be used again as the reference to predict the result of this match because recently Auxerre has successfully to improved their performance that so far they got 2 wins from 3 latest matches and surprisingly their winning is from tough teams such as Lorient and Lyon

For squad update Rennes conditions doesn't really good because currently they will lost at least 7 players because of injured and suspension but for Auxerre Nuno Da Costa still unable to play but Siriki Dembélé can be played on his position and Hamza Sakhi also had a problem with their fitness but it doesn't matter because he is only substitutions player and i was tempting for Auxerre recent performance which is more better than Rennes and picked for Auxerre win probably the best option for this match and Auxerre win has odds @3.90

Yes, it seems that in this match the home team is in high motivation after Auxerre has played four matches without defeat. in this match, Auxerre will try to keep performing optimally and get full points to secure their ranking from the relegation zone. but it seems, not an easy matter to subvert Rennes. because, in the first meeting, Auxerre fell with a landslide score. but what is certain, the home team will provide fierce resistance to their opponents because after all they need a win to avoid the relegation zone.

On the other hand, Rennes will try to return to winning ways which were previously beaten by Marseille with a score of 0-1. unfortunately, some of their core players must be absent in this match. So, it looks like this fight will be quite tough. most likely, there won't be many goals in this fight.
My estimate is that the match will end in a draw. but it seems, the ideal option to bet on under 2.5 goals.

[boltz]

Auxerre vs Rennes should be a game that cannot end with a draw right ? both teams are looking for 3 points today , as Auxerre to avoid relegation and lately they are doing a great job by accumulating points and then we have , Rennes who wants to keep that last place that leads to Conference league for next year so overall , I'm expecting goals today.

PSG should win. I hope they are going to win. Because you know, they have just got knocked out of the Champions League. And I believe that the Champions League was the main target of PSG. So, I believe now they are going to put all their resources into trying to win the Ligue 1 title. I think they will be able to win. As they do every season.

Rennes should also be able to win the match against Auxerre. After all, Rennes is going up against the team which is in the relegation zone. This is going to be a default win for Rennes.

You can say PSG have Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, but there is no player of comparable quality to replace any of them when injured. While PSG are lacking in midfield, their midfielders are not strong enough and their quality is not really up to par with their 3 forwards.

They did not have winning habit in Champions League and they don't have strong mentality there. They have it in Ligue 1 but in Champions League, they have the opposite. From strongly confident in Ligue 1 to extremely fearful and vulnerable in Champions League, PSG have two opposite sides. Even their star players in attacking system don't play well in Champions League. Sometimes they shined brightly but mostly they didn't.

PSG's defense has Ramos, Hakimi, Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe, but both of them are injured so who really deserves to take his place. So this means that PSG lost because of their own weaknesses, not because Mbappe and Messi failed to help the team. Football is a team game, so if a team is not balanced it is difficult for them to win the match.

Their defense system is one of their most weakest points and Ramos is the only one defender in their system has good career and proved his defense ability. However he joined PSG when he was too old and his body was no longer good as a few years ago. He spent first one year in recovery from some injuries and in this season, he played more for PSG and in the match with Bayern Munich, he brought some hope for PSG with two head shots.

Other defenders have experience but they don't have too good quality and mentality is weak. Marquinhos is their main central defender and their captain but he made some mistakes in important matches and he was unable to unite team mates to bounce when the squad needs a leader to do that. Kimpembe is even worse than Marquinhos and Hakimi does not focus on defense.

[Bobrox]

Possibility with Ligue 1 losing Lionel Messi for next season after having new rumor he will move to Saudi Arabia Pro League, beside with PSG dominance in Ligue 1, I think the interested from Ligue 1 because having Lionel Messi. Still not reach new extended contract with PSG seems many possibility for Lionel Messi keep stay with PSG or leave this team, actually he still disappointed after PSG eliminating from UEFA Champion League.

PSG need to give fantastic offering how to make Lionel Messi keep extended new contract for two or three years, better not give short or one season contract if won't loss Lionel Messi this season.

[rendravolt]

Brest vs PSG

This will be an interesting match considering that PSG have been eliminated from the champions league and now they will focus on the remaining Ligue 1 matches to secure the title this season. Brest as the host doesn't seem to have a chance to win this match, even in head to head PSG are always superior either at home or away. Mbappe and Messi as usual will be the key to victory for PSG and this will be an additional 3 points for PSG in the standings.

No matter how much the PSG team plays against the lesser teams, it will be difficult to guarantee that PSG will secure victory. Because the supporters' trust has decreased from the team. The team's defenses are in a very bad condition.

The bench of PSG is not good at all. I am also going to say that the defense is not good as well.

They have a perfect attacking lineup. But in both midfield and defense, they do not have a perfect setup. And of course, I also have not even started about any replacement for injury.

For me, the failure of PSG was also kind of expected as well. I hope instead of keeping Mbappé for a longer period of time, they will actually try to bring in good players to the team and make a better team overall.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Marseille were really bad against PSG this time and I wonder why. Because their general performance in the league so far has been really impressive.

They were in a good form and shape as well before this game. I would have expected them to resist PSG more than that. The defensive weaknesses cost them too big. Mbappe and Messi were so comfortable with making incredible assists to each other and finishing the game early as well. Now the gap has become 8 points between these teams in the standings. PSG can go for making the gap much bigger than this from now on maybe.

Marseille failed to take this golden opportunity to shortned the point gap to keep the title race alive and closer , mbappe play brilliantly as usual to torture marseille , almost sure psg will take the trophy as usual every year ... there is no really competition in ligue 1.

The top 4 is not balance , psg way too strong.

This game was a disappointment for Marseille, it was the opportunity to take 3 points from PSG and they threw that option away, the truth is that they did not apply the same strategy with which they beat PSG in the French Cup, this time they went out to play but very bad.

Marseille for a second I thought they were afraid and the one who expected a lot and to shine was Sanchez (El Chileno) but he did nothing, it is difficult when a team that needs to score points plays like this, if it is the team that is in the first Instead of qualifying, the duty is to play as if it were a final to see if they win again. Marseille was the team that saw a good chance of making war against PSG, but nothing, I don't know what really happened to them, sometimes things go very wrong for teams.

.

I think saying that it is truly disappointing is too much of an exaggeration when you play against Bayern Munich in the round of the last 16. The end result would have been the same for both teams. If Bayern lost, the only thing that is remembered is that they lost in the round of the last 16, not against whom they lost. That feels a bit wrong when you have to assess a performance of a team.

It's not a secret for nobody that everyone talks that PSG is missing a lot , they got kicked out of the UCL having practically the two best in the world, because Ney couldn't contribute to the game they lost, I'm sure that if Ney had played the result maybe There would have been another, or perhaps more closed, but they want to get out of Messi, they want to get out of Neymar , PSG will be pure Mbappé, I think that Mabppé's dream will come true because that was what he wanted, to put together a team under his demands, So now that it's possible I think it will come true , it's obvious to me that Ney wants to leave, he has a serious injury and I'm sure Messi will be bored by now.

[RealMalatesta]

Football is a game that needs to create a great relationship from the defense line app to the offensive line so that any team will be able to perform well. But this thing is sorely lacking in the PSG team. As a result, the team is currently unbalanced.

I think it will take a while before they can realize that spending a ton of money on few superstars will not make a good team. This is basically a system that the owners put in place, they wanted players like neymar, mbappe, messi and so forth in order to make a big name in the world and it worked in a sense that they are a lot more media-friendly right now and everyone talks about that, that much is true.

However, if you want to have a great team, then you need to have great players in every position. If people all around the world knows your 3-4 players, but can't name 3 players on your midfield, then you are not doing a good job building that roster.

Brest vs PSG

This will be an interesting match considering that PSG have been eliminated from the champions league and now they will focus on the remaining Ligue 1 matches to secure the title this season. Brest as the host doesn't seem to have a chance to win this match, even in head to head PSG are always superior either at home or away. Mbappe and Messi as usual will be the key to victory for PSG and this will be an additional 3 points for PSG in the standings.

Even though, for example, PSG is still playing in the Champions League, of course PSG will still be able to lock in its position at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. So it's not surprising that PSG will always be the favorite team to win in every match in Ligue 1 because basically PSG has high dominance, especially at this moment PSG really no longer has pressure because of other competitions.

Therefore, I hope that PSG will be able to win easily and be able to score goals quickly. Because if PSG still rely on Mbappe and Messi in every match in Ligue 1, then it should always be easy for PSG to win both home and away matches.

[judas]

Lacazette was there to save Lyon in short. He was injured before and he newly recovered before the match against Lille. The manager didn't prefer him in the starting eleven not to risk it. But after Lille seemed like they were going to win the match Lacazette entered the match. It was a great move by the manager because he was the savior of his team by scoring two goals there.

Lacazette is really unstoppable this season with his goals. He is in a wonderful form for a long time and he is fighting for finishing the season as top scorer of the league as well. I'm glad to see him back at his old team too because he was reborn here.

Of course, PSG can still stand in the first place in the french league even after losing the game champions league and disappointing fans currently many people hate PSG just because PSG spend lots of money to buy superstar players and in the end, they failed to be even between the top teams of the champions league but still they are the first team of french which is the last thing they can do and if they lose this position I can say there will be more hater for this team.

The performance of the PSG team seems like the team was created just to be the best in League One and become champions. Despite having so many good players, the team is repeatedly failing to prove its ability in other different leagues.
