French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Leviathan.007]

This season PSG must win the Ligue 1 title, there is no other reason and they have a better chance of doing it than any other team. Their failure in the Champions League is a bad thing, but when I evaluate the depth of the squad then they really are not fully prepared for the title.

I don't know what psg have to do to win the champions league, they even have Messi, the world cup winner in their team, but they cannot even go past the round of 16, they signed their new manager at the beginning of this season, and many fans were saying he does not have any experience, i think those fans are correct and the club may sack him at the end of the season. I feel they should try and sign mourinho, he will be a good coach for psg.

Psg are surely going to win the Ligue 1, they will conquer the French league for a long time, what they wanted to win this season was the champions league, but they have to wait until next season and try again.

Sometimes this is not just about having superstar players and a rich owner, even if you have a rich team and you buy the most important players in the world you will still need a good manager and that's what PSG needs to have, if you have superstar players you need a superstar coach to manage the player otherwise you will fail, and that's the reason of why PSG could win the match in the champions league in this season.

Agree with what you say because the role of the coach also holds quite a lot of control here and that will not be obtained from Galtier because he can be said to be mediocre as a coach.
Now, Ligue 1 is definitely obtained and that's all they can get which of course Naser Al-Khaelafi will not be too happy about that because their great players and of course "expensive" can only bring one trophy every season.

Paris Saint Germain got lots of superstar payers and much more investments compared to the other teams so I guess for the other teams like Marseille and Monaco it's difficult to get close to them, however after they lost in the champions league, Neymar got injured and Messi going to leave, PSG's atmosphere is not good like the other days and I guess there is a chance for them to lose some points during the games they are going to have.

Paris Saint Germain has so issues since they crashed put of the UEFA Champions League, ranging from Neymar's injury Messi uncertainty to remain or leave the club at the end of the season but that I think shouldn't give any of their French Ligue 1 rivals any hope to think that they can do anything to stop them from becoming French Champions this season.

The teams problem isn't about the domestic but their continuous failure to lift the world's biggest club football title and that I think is because of their tactical indiscipline which why the current manger must be released from his duties to pave way for a better manager to come in

[Slow death]

PSG are just getting close to announcing their championship in the league every week. The gap with Marseille has become 10 points already.

I don't see any way Marseille are catching up with them from now on. Because they aren't even consistent these days. After losing to PSG home this time they got a draw against Strasbourg home. Balerdi's incident just finished them. Strasbourg aren't even one of the decent teams in the league this season. They are trying to hold onto the Ligue 1 not to relegate. Marseille need to play more carefully in such games to finish them without point loss.

there may be improvement when meet reims, like you said, marseille aren't consistent on every match, sometime playing well but sometimes playing bad even they play in home. I just heard a coach just change a strategy to face reims, i don't know exactly, maybe they can get 3 points to reduce different point with PSG.

It is very difficult to catch up with Paris Saint Germain now, moreover they are certain to make Ligue q their main focus after they failed in the Champions League. The points gap will be very difficult for them to catch up with, and I can confirm that Paris Saint Germain will win the title again this season without any significant obstacles in the remaining matches this season.

The stars I see at PSG are:

Messi
Neymar
Mbappe
Sergio Ramos

Messi = despite being a great player, he already starts to have less speed than he had when he was young, that is, messi no longer has the same performance as when he was young

Neymar = this guy gets prolonged injuries every season, he practically doesn't play anything every season

Sergio Ramos = he is not really from real madrid either, just see that at PSG he has hardly been able to score a goal and has also lost in the dispute against attackers from other teams

so there's only Mbappe left, PSG lacks good players who are very active, what they have is just fame that there are many famous players, but in practice they cannot exploit 100% of the performance of these famous players, and as if they don't had these players

The teams problem isn't about the domestic but their continuous failure to lift the world's biggest club football title and that I think is because of their tactical indiscipline which why the current manger must be released from his duties to pave way for a better manager to come in

I don't understand with a team that spends millions on bringing the best in the world doesn't spend millions on bringing the best coaches in the world, that's something difficult to understand, to win the champions league they need a good coach

I also agree with you, PSG must look for a new coach who can raise the spirit and cohesiveness of the team. PSG are not that good in UCL like 3 players. Messi, Mbappe and Ramos are the only players who are at least motivated this year. After Neymar was injured, Messi knew they were going to lose and Mbappe didn't seem motivated at all. Plus apart from Ramos, their defense is weak, and the midfield is terrible. Many people want to blame the stars or the ego, (which is still there) the team was not built properly so it had to be eliminated in the UCL League.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Slow death, I don't know how easy you think football is,...so I'd like to ask, does it really look that easy to you?? When someone's being creative with his feet?? ....and I'll also like to ask if you know that players actually have their right forms in every game?? ... thirdly, are you sure you can tell the functions of the different positions that these guys hold in PSG? Cus if you can, you'd realize that Messi isn't supposed to have more goals than a striker, he's supposed to keep the ball in circulation and give accurate passes until a goal Is achieved, which is obviously what he does...
I don't wanna really say much about Neymar cus he's always been a flop on major occasions, but Ramos is an old player... he's played right with the oldest team in Madrid (I mean during Messi's era), so maybe much shouldn't be expected from him.

PSG have a lot of star players but their performances are poor. Despite being in good form at the start of the season, the team's performances have not been consistent. Moreover, Neymar, one of PSG's most important attacking players, is unable to stay with the squad due to injury. It is also not certain whether Messi and Mbappe will stay with PSG next season. All in all, PSG's overall situation is a bit shaky right now. PSG management needs to make some important decisions now if they want to have a consistent performance next season.

I don't think the stars that are currently playing for PSG has the ability to make the team achieve it's goal which is winning the Champions league. The performance of PSG has not gotten better than before even after playing the three dangerous players  Messi , Mbappe and Naymer yet they are yet to perform very well ,  PSG needs to get more younger player so that the players will add more seriousness to the team So that they will have goal getters . PSG should either get rid of the big names in the club so that there will will competition else I don't see them winning any competition this season.

The problem in this case is probably in terms of the coach.
Because no matter how good the players are when they are not accompanied by a qualified coach, they will always remain the same.
It's not that Galtier isn't good, it's just that he's still not good enough to bring a club as big as PSG with his current star players because he doesn't really have much experience to compete in the big leagues.
PSG really have to understand this because forcing their will with coaches like Poche and Galtier now is not going to be the right solution for their players.

Lyon - Nantes is going to be the opening game of the week. Lyon are of course highly favoured for the victory here. Lopes seems to be injured by the way but still it shouldn't affect Lyon very seriously in this game. Because they are still in a much better condition than Nantes in the league now. There is a big point gap and Nantes have been terrible for four weeks. They got three losses I mean.

In this situation Lyon should be ahead of them psychologically. Nantes can have bigger problems on focusing on the game which should help Lyon win comfortably.

Here correct me if I am wrong firstly I believe having too many stars in a team is having headache and with this you are not treating all players at same level this is also problem which is surely having issues regarding their failure again into Champions League they need to think about their strategy which will help them for increasing their chances into this mega event and their coach is also having not good experience outside France which was another setback for them in their win now most chances we will have some good number of changes in coming summer transfer window which will give us better shape can they are going to big shuffle in this team, or they will stay with this same strategy which is not working for them in long run and another thing which is also having good intention for some time Zidane is the next coach here in this team or no because this could be also big impact for them in coming season.

Having many star players is not bad and not wrong at all if you buy star players for different areas in your squad from goalkeeper to defensive, midfield and attacking areas. In PSG, they have many attacking star players that make their general defensive and pressing ability worse. Players like Messi, Neymar and Mbappe do mostly nothing for their pressing and defensive support to midfielders and defenders. That makes their whole team more vulnerable to counter attacks from opponents.

In midfield area, PSG look to have good midfielders but in their defense area, they lack of top-notch defenders and it is their most serious weakness.

they need to think about their strategy which will help them for increasing their chances into this mega event and their coach is also having not good experience outside France which was another setback for them

PSG must hire a very experienced coach in Champions League like Zizou, Mourinho or Ancelotti and put their belief in a new coach for two to three seasons. They must have enough time to bring the club to Champions League trophy. In addition, PSG will have to rebuild their squad completely in one or two more seasons. Many old players in their current squad that is not good for their competitive capability in Champions League.

Lyon vs Nantes is going to start tomorrow in the French Soccer League. Thousands of fans are waiting to see which of these two teams will win tomorrow. But I think the better performance of the two teams will have more hope of winning.  There will be. Both teams have good quality players. Nantes team has lost some matches due to the poor performance of Nantes team's goalkeeper. But I hope to play very well in this match and win the match.

Lyon were very sharp recently that in the last 8 matches they can scored 16 goals and the opposite from them that their opponent Nantes has displayed poor defense because from 6 matches they were already conceded 14 goals and head to head statistics also showed Lyon is too strong for Nantes that from 5 recent meetings Lyon were unbeatable from Nantes

Lyon actually want to finish at european competitions but they were losing so many points because Lyon were unable to playing consistent and after 2 times draw i think win results is mandatory for them to improved their positions on standings league and for squad conditions after recover from injured Alexandre Lacazette was onfire with scores 2 goals last week and maybe he will be in the starting lineup today and after considers recent conditions from both teams teams i think Lyon will be the winner of this match and earn 3 points and Lyon win odds is @1.66

PSG team is performing best in League One. PSG is performing much better than the rest of the League One teams. However, the PSG team's intention was to do well in the Champions League. But the PSG team has failed to do well.

Lyon is the favored one, of course, besides they are going to play at home, they also have better results than Nantes. Nantes failed 3 times in their last 5 matches, and tasted 1 draw, and one draw. Meanwhile, Lyon is still better by recording 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Bookies offer advantages for betting on Lyon, but I don't think I will bet on this match.

There is a match between Lyon and Nantes. Nantes are less likely in this match as the opponents Lad Lion are roughly ahead of Nantes in League One. Considering those aspects, the chances of Lion's victory in this match are very high.

Lyon will indeed be more favored. they are playing at home and that will be an added strength for Lyon. In the previous game, they drew 0-0 at home to Nantes.
the two will also meet again in the French Cup Semi-finals a few weeks after their current meeting. the two teams will become rivals who will bring each other down. both are strong teams in Ligue 1.

It looks like the match between these two teams will be very interesting to watch. Lyon has a better chance of winning this game and Nantes looks like they will fight harder if they want to win this game. Most likely there is still a chance for both teams to achieve a draw by scoring goals. I think it's quite difficult to pick a winner and if we look at the odds offered by the bookie I think I'll bet the handicap (1.25) in favor of Nantes.

That's pretty hard to predict. Nantes may bad results in the previous match but lyon didn't also perform so well in the previous match. I remember that if last meeting between lyon against nantes ended with draw as the final result. Im thinking about to see the same result between nantes against lyon. Lyon is much more favorable in this match but we will see that soon. I personally will try to pick lyon over nantes caused by lyon is quite consistent compared with nantes.

1-0 will be enough for lyon to defeat nantes

Paris Saint Germain maybe called the kings in the French 1st League, but that doesn't apply in the Champions League and has proven to fail time and time again in the UCL even after several top players joined PSG the results is still the same. It's a reality that must be accepted, Christophe Galtier's strategy with some of his top players is not strong enough to fight with other big teams in the UCL.
