French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Leviathan.007]

You are right. Although PSG had a strong squad, the understanding between the players was not good. This is why PSG cannot perform well in Champions League matches. PSG is expected to make a lot of changes within the team next season. They will release several players and include new players in the squad. This is why I say PSG's performance is likely to be unstable. New players are less likely to adapt quickly to the team. New players need time to adapt to the team. Also, I don't think PSG's coach is very experienced. I wouldn't be surprised if the PSG management decides to change their coach again next season.

If new players don't understand game strategy and are also unable to adapt well to their new friends, then I'm not sure they are quality players. Adaptation does take time, but when one player to another doesn't support each other then that is the problem. Some PSG players seem to be playing for themselves and that is a selfish attitude that should not exist in a team, and this is one of the real problems in the PSG squad so far.
PSG also needs to consider replacing Christophe Galtier with another qualified and experienced coach next season. Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique may need to be considered as new coaches for PSG. These two coaches are quite experienced, so maybe that's what PSG needs right now to make their team appear compact throughout the season.

you are right Team performance is not good when players perform selfishly. But Mbappe performs like a selfish person. If they do not change their behavior, they will face big problems in the future. If Luis Enrique becomes PSG's coach, PSG's overall gameplay may change. Luis Enrique is quite an experienced coach. But Luis Enrique needs to be given complete freedom in his squad formation. Galtier is not given freedom by PSG management. If the coach is not allowed to work independently, the performance of the team is unlikely to improve.

Galtier is not a coach to manage all these superstar players because even if wants to manage the team and change the atmosphere during the season, still he didn't have enough power for it. When you have many famous players like Mbappe and Messi in your team managing these teams needs more power and Galtier didn't have this power at all.

After losing against Lille with a score of 2-1, now is Nantes' chance to get away from the red zone leaving 1 last match this week and Angers will be the opponent who is the bottom team in the standings this season. It looks like this time Nantes will have no trouble as they will be the hosts and for sure the support of the fans will be pouring in all corners of the stadium. I really believe Nantes will be able to win but they also have to hope that Auxerre will accept defeat against Lens later if Nantes wants to return to Ligue 1 next season.

Marseille's defeat in today's competition further distanced themselves and indeed even if they win they will not be able to compete with Lens but still in this competition I think at least they should be more ambitious for 3 points. It's a pity that 4 of the matches they played in town before the end of this season they had to be willing to lose points again and again because they lost 3 times and that made them only be in the Europa League next season.

Marseille 1 - 2 Brest was quite unexpected even though their chances to pick the second spot before that game were low. Since Lens won and Marseille lost then Lens to Champions League group stage and Marseille to the qualifiers of Champions League.
Meanwhile Monaco lost its spot and we have now Lille in Europa League spot and Rennes in the Conference League.

In this match their possession of the ball is superior but that is exactly what is the problem, they hold the ball too much and make some mistakes of their own which are used as opportunities for Brest to score goals.
Well, this is bad, but it really can't be done anymore because Marseille also have trouble catching up even if they win and now they can only be in 3rd position for this season.

[Razmirraz]

Galtier is not a coach to manage all these superstar players because even if wants to manage the team and change the atmosphere during the season, still he didn't have enough power for it. When you have many famous players like Mbappe and Messi in your team managing these teams needs more power and Galtier didn't have this power at all.

The coach must not be intervened by the club in making policies to set the strategy and also the selection of players into the main squad, the club must also facilitate the coach's wishes for the desired players. I'm starting to imagine how scary the PSG squad would be if coached by Luis Enrique, he's an experienced coach who has a conviction in doing his job.

PSG needs to make a breakthrough by bringing in a quality coach who can make PSG able to compete with the top teams in the Champions League. PSG management must open their eyes wide with the weak competition that PSG provides in the Champions League, the luxury squad they have is unable to bring home a trophy that has never been won so far. This problem must be addressed immediately so that their hopes can be realized.

Yes, Nantes have a big chance to get out of the red zone. Angers also not a strong opponent for Nantes and their is likely to win. But I'm having doubts this time, because Lens are already comfortable getting UCL tickets, maybe they won't be too serious about winning against Auxerre next. Also Auxerre will be playing at home and will try very well to get any points, even maybe they won't lose in that match, but let's hope Lens is not too kind to Auxerre.

Lille has performed quite well in some matches. Humanity has managed to secure consecutive victories in the last three matches, the team's players are performing impossible. In fact, if the PSG team was not in League One, then the rest of the teams would have accumulated tremendously every game.

Nantes will host Angers in their last game, and it will be a big chance for them to get a win and escape the red zone. Auxerre will face Lens and it is clear that it will not be an easy opponent for them to get the win. Indeed, Nantes also cannot guarantee that they will win this match, but their chances are clearly bigger than Auxerre, who have a strong opponent like Lens.

Only if auxerre will be drawn. If auxerre gonna win the next match and it's end for nantes. The draw for auxerre will still make nantes to be relegated to the lower tier.
Im not feeling optimistic to the performance of nantes in upcoming match. it's always showing inconsistentcy to win the game. This must also become the main concern. The result from auxerre gonna determine the future of nantes whether club will still stay in league 1 or relegate to the lower tier.

I guess that if it's really huge pressure for nantes this time caused by going to the lower tier will make lose good income for the club.

[slapper]

It is the truth that the scenario would have been much more different for PSG if they didn't have this kind of a powerful attacking trio. The total contribution level of Messi, Mbappe and Neymar combined was enormous this season. The total amount of goals they scored is many more than the half of the goals the team scored. Especially Mbappe and Messi took big responsibility in critical matches to secure the title for their team.

Indeed I agree with the opinion that the real problem has been with the management style of the team. I don't have any doubt that PSG will replace their manager this summer with a much more reliable one. I thought that it was a wrong choice from the beginning already. Because Galtier was a manager with zero experience as for big teams. It was a serious risk to take while they were trying to win the Champions League title on one hand.

There are many speculations about their new manager but let's wait for more reliable news to give us some ideas.

Even though PSG is home to some of the world's brightest talents, they still can't get the pitch perfect when playing the UCL concerto. It's like having a philharmonic orchestra with state-of-the-art instruments play an off-key tune. Did someone just put Messi on the bench? He may have seen better days, but even a lion in its last years can still roar. When Messi steps foot on the pitch, he becomes the undisputed king of the jungle. Now Mbappe can't juggle goals if he doesn't get any assists, and who better than Messi to provide them?

Regarding management, you make some valid points. Instead of a football team, they look like juggling clowns! Maybe what's needed is a new taskmaster with a coach's board. Or, as you so astutely put it, maybe PSG just needs a shot of youthful exuberance. Let's keep an eye on the time!

Lens will not go soft on Auxerre. the last match that they will not close with a disappointing result. and it was an opportunity for Nantes to try to get out of the relegation zone. they need to win and on the other hand, expect a bad result from Auxerre. we will not know the outcome of those matches. but the best prediction is that Nantes can get out of the relegation zone.

Indeed, Nantes also cannot guarantee that they will win this match, but their chances are clearly bigger than Auxerre, who have a strong opponent like Lens.

The last match of League 1 is indeed very interesting for us to watch. especially if you look at Lille this season deserving of its place in the European Cup, it cannot be denied. Nantes too, if you look at the average match in each of their seasons, I want to say that they also don't deserve to be dropped from League 1.

I think it will be easy for Nantes to face Angger because indeed in their last four H2H matches Nantes has the upper hand. Interesting what will Lens think in the last game against Auxerre? In terms of players, I think Lens can easily win the match, because the last victory is very important for Lens to look forward to next season as a challenger to PSG for the 1st League Title.

I was really surprised by the performance of the lens. This team is performing well in every match. Apart from PSG, the team has managed to secure victory in every match with other teams, the team is now behind PSG by only 4 points.

[emrecemsan]

I still wonder why PSG didn't become more diligent about their coach choice at the beginning. Because I saw nothing very impressive in Galtier's coach career that was worth a shot for the coach job at PSG. In the end PSG are one of the numbered strong and rich teams in Europe. I still can't believe the board didn't go for a coach who is much more well-known and have some successes with top teams before.

I still forced myself not to be prejudiced later on but now it is a big disappointment PSG have. Maybe you will say that he still won the Ligue 1 title. But seriously even one of us with a good level of football knowledge would have been able to win the league title with these players.    It is like there is a cliff between PSG and the rest of the teams here.

[Sirait]

Hopefully, more and more teams are realizing that there is no point in keeping expensive players in the club because football is a game of 11 people, not a one-man show. the issue of Messi's departure continues to strengthen and the rumors continue to lead Messi to the arab league, I really can't wait to see what happens to Messi next.

Some reports say that Lionel Messi will return to Barcelona, ​​that is, the authorities of the Barcelona team are trying hard to bring Lionel Messi back to the team. Does anyone know how true this news is? However, PSG needs to make some drastic changes to their defense line-up.

messi will only make a setback in his career if he moves to barcelona again, but there is no official news that we can make reference to, because maybe messi will continue to stay at PSG, who knows. PSG's back line is actually quite good and organized, it's just that they have a bad midfield and it's difficult to adapt the tempo to the front line. there is actually a lot of homework that must be completed by Galtier, 1 season is still not enough for him.

[Jody.Drummer]

I don't think Messi is the only reason, because they have a lot of star players who drain their pockets, including Mbappe who gets a lot of privileges. Now I wonder if they will stick with their habit of signing other top players, or they will change their habits by focusing on team regeneration. They often do it with top players, but the result is a failure. Now I just want to see them do something new, for example like the second point I said before, namely by regenerating players. I haven't seen doing that before, and I think Paris Saint Germain should try it.

I know the main reason why they like to spend money because they have good finances, but until when are they going to do that?

PSG is a premier team in Ligue One and in football; they are incredibly competent and financially strong, capable of bringing in any world-class star. Leo Messi and Neymar Jr will leave the club, but they have yet to announce their next move, as fans continue to boo Messi and Neymar on the field. The biggest issue for the Parisians is a lack of strength and gaming experience to compete with other elite clubs in key events like as the UCL. The team requires good working coordination among the players as well as a coach with extensive expertise. Christophe Galtier can fill the shoes but is incompetent to handle business over there; the problem is larger than he can handle. I recommend Jose Mourinho or Anthonio Conte who knows exactly how to manage elite clubs.

They didn't lack strength and experience, in fact they had it a long time ago. But what happened here is that they are not harmonious between one player and another, not to mention that external problems have arisen, as you said, the fans have started to dislike the players. That was clearly a problem, any player wouldn't be comfortable with pressure, let alone the pressure being unreasonable such as booing and even starting to attack individually. I understand that the fans are not satisfied with what Paris Saint Germain has received, but the move they are taking is also not justified. Apart from all parties who have to be responsible, I think it is the management who should be more responsible, because they seem to be wrong in managing this team.

That seems to be what Nantes fears the most. When Lens was kind and gave in more against Auxerre, then suddenly Nantes' hopes of escaping from the relegation zone would vanish. Moreover, this is a very crucial match for Nantes and Auxerre, it looks like we will still be able to see the worst possibility after the match is over. But I still hope that these two games will be interesting and if it's intentional, I think Nantes is the team that loses the most, but if Nantes still can't win against Angers, I don't know what to say.

I really believe Nantes will be able to win but they also have to hope that Auxerre will accept defeat against Lens later if Nantes wants to return to Ligue 1 next season.

Sometimes, the last match plus being the decider will put a bit of pressure on the team that is aiming for victory. although on paper, Nantes is far superior to the opposing team. but the tough challenges are, pressure and mental. if Nantes can handle it well. they should be able to finish the game with a win. at the same time, avoiding the relegation zone. however, sometimes in crucial matches like this, the opposing team seems very tough to face. because, Angers played without a burden. after all, they will be relegated this season to the second tier.

At the same time, Auxerre will host against Lens. meaning, this match will be decisive for both teams, both Auxerre and Nantes. in theory, the probability of Nantes toppling Angers is easier than that faced by Auxerre. well, the problem is whether Lens will play with the full squad. because, losing or winning will no longer affect them. so, do not rule out if Auxerre avoids the relegation zone.  so, this match will be a decisive match and at the same time a hot match for both teams. at least, the two teams will exert all their abilities to achieve full points in the match later. interesting for us to wait.

For me Nantes is one of the biggest disappointments this season, honestly I expected a lot from them, they had great opportunities, some still believe that they can give good results, personally I don't expect anything good from Nantes, yes what What they are doing is trying to recover their reputation a bit, clear their name, or try to reconcile with their fans, I think it is too late to do it, Nantes due to the way they play, I cannot deny that PSG is one of the teams that also disappointed me, that now I have no faith in them.

[posi]

The reason why I think that Paris Saint Germaine will continue to dominate the French Ligue 1 in the next ten years or more is because of the financial strength of the club owners and unless another high spending club owners takes over the ownership of another French club, Paris Saint Germaine will continue to dominate.
A club that has high profile players like Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe coupled with defensive veteran of Sergio Ramos, and so many other players are supposed to be crowned champions two months before the end of the league season

Succeeding in Dominating Ligue 1 is not a good achievement for PSG, because they should be able to excel outside Ligue 1 with the financial strength of the club owner. PSG strength in Ligue 1 is very difficult to match by other clubs, they can bring in quality players to dominate local competitions.
Behind PSG success in Ligue 1 there is still work that has not been completed, PSG still has difficulty competing in the UCL when dealing with other big clubs. The curse of the difficulty of winning the Champions League title must be removed immediately, the only way to do this is by bringing in a great coach who can improve the mentality of the players when they are in a different competition.

PSG has so much money that they are not going to lose the Ligue 1 title anytime soon. At the same time, they are not going to perform well in the Champions League. Because you cannot expect a good performance against a big opponent when you are playing against not so good opponents the whole season.

Another problem is that they think money can do everything. But they are not going to be able to make a balanced team if they spend maturity of the amount in bringing in attacking players. I agree that they will probably be able to perform well in Ligue 1 and probably also win it. But they are not going to do well in the Champions League

I really believe Nantes will be able to win but they also have to hope that Auxerre will accept defeat against Lens later if Nantes wants to return to Ligue 1 next season.

Yes, Nantes have a big chance to get out of the red zone. Angers also not a strong opponent for Nantes and their is likely to win. But I'm having doubts this time, because Lens are already comfortable getting UCL tickets, maybe they won't be too serious about winning against Auxerre next. Also Auxerre will be playing at home and will try very well to get any points, even maybe they won't lose in that match, but let's hope Lens is not too kind to Auxerre.

We all know that Angers will not be able to beat Nantes, so that game should be 3 points easily, but even easier situation is Lens, I do not agree with Lens not being able to win, I think they are going to win, in fact I believe in that so much that I would guarantee Lens winning but not Nantes winning.

If Nantes fails to win, they will relegate, if they end up getting a win then I am sure that they will stay in the league for another season. So many teams who used to be good end up going down, it is a sad reality but if you can't get any better, then you are bound to drop, not many teams end up being good for a long time and I think Nantes was a good team that didn't improve at all and now they are facing a danger of going down.
