French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[swogerino]

Yesterday many bettors lost money on PSG and there were a lot of them because during the day we had a lot of unexpected results and people were eager to win money in the night games and almost all gamblers played PSG which together with Napoli made sure that anybody who played the night games lost their tickets.As for Messi,he is a player which you cannot complain about him despite some bad presences in the squad,overall I think he is still an asset to PSG and they are already looking forward next season in the Champions League.

Monaco did very well yesterday and their performance was good on the field, Anderson scored the first goal for Monaco, and the team Monaco lose 1:2 to the away team at the end of first half of the match and we all think that Monaco might also lose full time but surprisingly Monaco won the match with a score of 4:3, Monaco was once a lazy team but how every they won the yesterday match with a RED ♦️ card and now I can say that Monaco is now a nice team.

Monaco played very well in this match. But Strasbourg's performance was not bad. Both the teams performed well and we got a chance to enjoy a competitive match. We saw 7 goals in this match. However, both team did not make many shots. But each of their attacks was excellent. Monaco had only 9 shots in this match. In this, they were able to score 4 goals. If Strasbourg's defense was strong, maybe Monaco would not have scored four goals so easily. Even after the win in this match, Monaco remains fourth in the points table. There is no change in their position in the points table.

Some high-rated clubs in some leagues are sometimes too phlegmatic with important matches. Just like Monaco yesterday, they hard all it takes to win Strasbourg right from the start of the match but they were quite too overconfident and this nearly cost them the match. I was already disappointed after seeing them lose  2 goals to their opponent, but I was so surprised to see them leading with 4 goals and at the end win with a red card.

Interesting that PSG lost twice in a row after the UCL exit as well. This doesn't really good at all and I feel like there is this weird situation where rest of the team is just letting Mbappe and Messi to play and they just don't give a damn. I think that's not going to be enough, this team is multiple times bigger than the opponents they are playing and still losing, that doesn't really feel like that should be a thing.

I do not know what they have to do, probably change the manager and buy some midfielders I guess, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a solution that is going to be a quick thing anytime soon, it will take a while.

The PSG team sometimes puts up performances that really leave football fans disappointed. From the Champions League to other leagues, PSG has performed very poorly. But this time they are performing very poorly in League One in some matches which is not really expected from them.

[execijutiere]

things are heating up in France.
We can say that the fact that PSG could not open the point difference with its defeat to Lyon is actually a kind of morale for other teams. While PSG, which was also eliminated from the Champions League, should not concentrate on anything other than the league, losing at home to a tough opponent like Lyon can change the whole balance. We know that Lyon is the form team of the last weeks.It should be noted that they missed a penalty in the first half.Lacazette could not convert the penalty shot into a goal.Despite this, they managed to win the match with the goal they found in the second half.Lens and marsila are among the teams that are happy about this. The point difference between them has remained at 6.

I was one of the people who lost the money in this match, was quite upset but that's ok because I could still gain in other matches. As we know PSG to be the host, they will definitely be very favored to win, moreover they need 3 additional points to continue to widen the distance from Marseille. But in fact PSG actually lost by a narrow score against Lyon, clearly that was the result that Coach Galtier didn't want because now his fate is increasingly threatened with being fired after PSG continued to have bad results in their matches.

[bering]

PSG's problem is in the absence of discipline, they need coaches like mourinho or zidane because only in this way will PSG players have respect for the coach and will be obedient, the signing of players will not be a disaster as it is currently

Yeah PSG really need a coach which can discipline players and I agree with you, like Mourinho or Zidane would be a suitable candidate to replace Galtier, because yes now Galtier is no longer respected maybe due to eliminated from UCL. With today lose I think PSG will probably lose again against Nice next weeks, because Nice also has a good record in their last 5 matches. If PSG are lucky maybe the result will be a draw, but to win I think it seems like PSG it might be difficult to win and get full points from Nice at Allianz Riviera.

I am sure Galtier position in this team won't last long because PSG management has targetting him several trophies before including champion league trophies but he has failed to meet the targets of PSG management so i am sure Galtier will be sacked soon but probably the management will wait at least until end of season because changed the manager in the middle of competition will have bad impact for the team

But indeed if Gatlier want his position is safe i think PSG shouldn't be lose anymore and with only 6 points gap with Lens and Marseille everything still possible to happend and their position is really unsafe especially if PSG lose anymore then they could be ended this season without trophy and next match against Nice could be so important for Galtier and win is mandatory result for them

[rahmad2nd]

I was not expecting to see PSG lose this game against Lyon in the French league, they had a very poor performance in PSG and even the superstar players like Messi or Mbappe couldn't do something for their team. In PSG they spend millions of dollars for these players and now they can't even the win game against a team like Lyon in 9th place in the table. There was even a chance for Lyon to score another goal from the penalty kick to make this game 2-0.

Well, this is football. regardless of the differences between the two teams that competed, in the end Lyon was able to topple PSG at its own home. at least, this illustrates that in football anything can happen.

However, at the same time, I am quite confused to see PSG players and Galtier as the coach. I wonder what is the problem with Galtier and his squad. plus, the system that Galtier applies sometimes makes it difficult for me to guess what the coach really wants. considering, in every match, Galtier always changes formation patterns and rotates some of his players, including in the match against Lyon. Galtier used a 3-5-2 formation, placed Hakimi in the middle sector, and played Bitshiabu, who incidentally is a very young player, as a left back. plus, the performance of other players is also not optimal. and in the end, Lyon managed to get full points. I don't have many more words for PSG, but it is very likely that Galtier's career will only last until the end of this season.

Where PSG's team situation has gone is really something to wonder about. PSG, despite having so many superstars, is performing so poorly in a small league like League One in some matches, it is really difficult for football fans.

PSG are having problems in terms of team play. They win matches thanks to their individual talents. If Marseille and Lens had been a bit more stable this season, PSG might not be so comfortable in the title race this season. PSG are losing a lot of points in the league but there is no team that can compete with them. Therefore, they will comfortably become champions at the end of this season as well. Messi and Mbappe will continue to win games for PSG by scoring assists and goals in the remaining games, but these two stars may not stay at PSG next season. That's when different calculations for PSG will start to come up.

[Sirait]

PSG not doing really good lately and today they're just fell to a 0-1 defeat against Olympique Lyonnais,  This froze the Parisian team's points tally at 66, still leading the league with a 6-point lead over Lens and Marseille.

Even Lionel Messi headed straight to the dressing room after the end of the match, without greeting the Parisian fans.

losing 2 times in a row (lost to rennes and lyon), PSG's performance is really worrying. In fact, I really regret choosing PSG in my bet, Neymar's absence really makes ball support decrease, because Messi is not very suitable to play with Mbappe, if it continues like this then there is a possibility that Galtier will be replaced.

[KTChampions]

In fact, PSG fans booed Messi at the beginning of the game when the squads were announced, so it’s quite reasonable behavior.
In general, I can understand them - the arrival of Messi led to the fact that PSG began to relegate from the French Cup and the Champions League in the 1/8 finals for two years in a row, and Messi himself disappears in important games.
From such a promoted footballer, they expected exactly more.

That is a risk that must be borne by star players like Lionel Messi, when they get what they want they will flatter it, but when expectations are not what they want they will scorn it. This has actually been felt by his rival, namely Cristiano Ronaldo. At the end of his career it seems they get the same treatment in the team he defends, such as Messi at PSG and Ronaldo at MU.

I don't think there is anything in common here. At United, Ronaldo had a conflict with the head coach, but I did not hear that the fans or a significant part of the community expressed dissatisfaction with Ronaldo (except for the haters who are ready to use any reason to hurt the one because of whom they sleep badly  ).
Messi has a different situation, firstly he plays badly, secondly it is aggravated by the fact that Argentina beat France in the World Cup final. But the main reason is the bad game of Messi.

In the last two matches PSG have lost and in fact, PSG cannot score and I think this is a strange result for me personally. Also, with a result like this, then I think maybe the PSG squad no longer has the desire to win in matches.

If PSG really no longer have the ambition to be able to win, then maybe I will hope that PSG will continue to experience defeats so that PSG is overtaken by other teams. If that happens, then it looks like PSG will be better off without winning any titles this season, considering their poor mentality.

Although PSG lost the Ligue 1 match, the defeat probably won't have a major impact on the team. Because the number of players that PSG have, they will bounce back and go on to win the League One title.

The main reason for PSG's defeat was the inexperience of their coach. Other than that I can't find any other reason. PSG have a lot of talented players in their squad. The two attacking players Messi and Mbappe are the best in the world. Even in the last match against Argentina, Messi scored a wonderful hat-trick. But he is not performing as well as expected with the PSG squad.

PSG played in a 3-5-2 formation in yesterday's match. And playing in this formation they have lost in the last three matches. The team was not successful in this formation so coach Galtier should have changed the formation. But he has kept his poor match tactics and formation unchanged. And as a result, PSG continued to perform poorly. PSG management may decide to sack Galtier very quickly. Such an inexperienced coach is not fit for a big club like PSG.

[rendravolt]

Reims managed to beat Nantes with a score of 0-3 on the road. This was a very important victory after losing against Marseille in the previous match. Moreover, the achievement of these 3 points also had an impact on their current standing and they are getting closer to Rennes, which is only 4 points away. While Nantes they continued to achieve bad results and had to be willing to be at the bottom of the standings. Nantes must win in the next match so they are not getting closer to the relegation zone.

[FanEagle]

I understand the doubts in PSG fans minds and I understand everyone else as well, it doesn't look that great and I get that. But, the reality is that PSG is just way too good to let something like this happen and I think it's going to matter in the long run.

I hope that it gets better eventually, but I do not just hope, I know that it will get better. Just because they lost a few games and feeling down right now, doesn't mean that they can't come up tomorrow and start being much better. This is a team with stars all around, even without Neymar-Mbappe-Messi, the rest of the team is not that bad at all, they would still be a good team, and that's with three biggest players.

PSG's condition was really chaotic after experiencing defeating from Bayer Munich, the last two matches they lived in Ligue 1 received a successive defeat from Rennes and Lyon. I think the mentality of players and coaches is under current pressure, so they cannot develop the game. Lyon coach understands this condition, so he takes the way and uses the same pattern as coach Rennes.

Although this defeat does not affect their condition in the standings, I think PSG's condition is not good at this time, only six points adrift of the second and third challengers. There must be an evaluation from PSG management for the coach, although it is too fast to associate this problem with their defeat and in my opinion Galtier's is doubtful.

What happening with psg is totally logic, it's seems that the team is totally destroyed because theirs main focus was in the champoins league, the league 1 isn't really a big deal for them and they proof is even with the recent bad results they still 6 points ahead from the second lens

Reims did their job very well, they were able to bring home 3 very valuable points for them to stay in a very safe position. In fact, they are a threat to LOSC and Rennes if they can't appear consistently in the remaining matches this season. Nantes continued their negative trend by losing in this match, they ended 5 matches without a win at all, they only got 2 additional points from their 2 draws. They too are now under threat if this continues.

PSG certainly hasn't had the easiest time recently. Yet their team as a whole has an incredible amount of quality and depth. They have some of the top players in the world on their team, so even a loss won't drag them down. If anything, that defeat might just be the jolt they needed to awaken their spirits and come back stronger. And with the sheer number of players at PSG's disposal, they're sure to bounce back and conquer the Ligue 1 title. It's time for them to take charge of the league and showcase their incredible potential to the world (as usual).

Although for now the defeat won't make them move, but they can't continue like this, because now their point difference from the runner up position is shrinking. They lost 6 points from 2 matches and that makes their difference now only 6 points left. Isn't that a real threat to them now? One more thing, their remaining hope is now Ligue 1 because they have been eliminated from the competition they wanted.

If you look at the recent matches that PSG has been playing, you would see that PSG has not been able to do anything meaningful with the amount of possession they actually had. Isn't that the fault of the front three not being able to work together?
I find it hard to believe that it isn't.

I also agree that the formation in which they played was not the best considering the fact that they have three players who are absolutely world class in front. I think there are certain mistakes in the tactics that PSG is trying to implement. And of course the top three, the front three or not perfectly working together.
