French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

They are still talented players of course but they are in a new environment and they need some time to adapt to playing together.

For example we saw this need in the match against Lorient. There was a big dominance but no goal as I said. But after this adaptation process ends I will be expecting to see a much better PSG. For now they aren't a very credible team to bet on. But this is my opinion of course.

Adaptation is necessary, but from some players who are really great and have the capability, it doesn't take them long to adapt and show their good performance. For example, Erling Haaland at Manchester City and Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid. September 4th we'll see Lyon match against PSG, Lyon is a pretty tough opponent even though they're currently at a slump at the start of the season, we'll see how PSG can see a good opportunity here or not.

Paris Saint-Germain are far from last season's legendary squad. I don't know if they can ever build a team of that level again. Even if the new signings adapt to the team, I don't think they will have the same impact.

Lyon started this season with disappointment. Laurent Blanc has a tough job with this team. The transfer season is also closed. Very difficult days await them until the break of the season. On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain didn't start the season well either. But they made some good signings after Lionel Messi and Neymar left the team. And they are better than Lyon. I think they are the favorites in this match even though they are the away team.

PSG always perform well in League One. And there is plenty of potential to secure the League One title this season as well. But it would be nice if PSG team performs well in other leagues.

In the next few hours we will be presented with a quite exciting match between Brest and Rennes and so far Rennes has not been optimal because in the previous two matches they only achieved a draw. But in this match Rennes is on paper and they should be able to steal points at home to Brest. However, we also cannot underestimate Brest because they already had 2 wins before finally having to stop last week because they were defeated by Marseille. If we look at the Ligue 1 standings these two teams are only one point away and it looks like the two teams will attack each other to ensure an additional 3 points are obtained. However, in terms of betting, I think it is quite risky to bet on Rennes and it seems I will avoid betting on this match.

This match is very hard to predict. Rennes placed below brest. I think that rennes must be working so hard in beating brest. Even though brest defeated by marseilla last match but brest's stat was still good.
The match looks very difficult for both of clubs. I think that this match may also end with draw as the result. I regrain myself by picking in this match.

The chance to win for both of clubs is the same. It's very hard to pick and i don't wanna take the risk. Rennes may be winning the game.
Either of clubs were only making a few goal attempts.

No, they will not be able to rebuild the greatest team in Ligue 1 like last season, because they are unlikely to find phenomenal players like Messi and Neymar.

Lyon started this season with disappointment. Laurent Blanc has a tough job with this team. The transfer season is also closed. Very difficult days await them until the break of the season.

Not only your think, because of the fact that PSG is the favorite for this match, even though Olympique Lyon is playing at home, but we can see that there's a very significant difference in the odds. @5.4 for Olympique Lyon to win and only @1.53 for PSG to win, isn't that really very lame? So, to get 3 points at the Groupama Stadium for PSG should be quite an easy task for them.

PSG always perform well in League One. And there is plenty of potential to secure the League One title this season as well. But it would be nice if PSG team performs well in other leagues.

Sorry, but what other league are you talking about here? please don't make useless discussions here mate.

You're right I think it's a little uneasy to predict the outcome of the match between both clubs, and I wouldn't had bet on it before the match started if I had come across it, to avoid the risk of making a wrong choice, If check the table you'll see that both clubs are sitted on the 3rd and 4th position and would be so careful to drop a point making the game to likely end with a draw but still better to avoid the risk cause I could try betting a draw on the live match and either of the scores at the point to the extra time.
 But I think if there's a goal in the  match it should be from brest because they've had more chances in the match, out of 7 shots they've managed to have 2 on target while Rennes only got 1 on target out of three and brest are currently dominating in possessions which means they're the ones pressing more which is why I feel they stand a better chance of winning, well it's the 79th minute and the match is still a draw and maybe it would end that way.

Kane also started to play well in Bayern. This may be the case and some players are easier to adapt, but we gave examples of players who definitely had a place in the first team so they did not have much anxiety that they would have to compete for this place. Although everything was a little different with Messi, he had a permanent place in the team, but for a very long time he could not show the game that was expected of him.

It is difficult to predict at the start of this season, some people even say the same thing when club competition in League 1 becomes more difficult or more competitive and for PSG to compete at home to Lyon and this is something that haunts PSG, the fear of failure like last season when they still had Mbappe and Messi competed against Lyon at home. PSG couldn't win the match and this is the concern that has arisen again and the best advice in this match is not to bet because something can happen even though Mbappe looks strong with the quality of his talent but Lyon has beaten PSG at home and this match is at home to Lyon and I predict either a draw or a loss.
But my hope is that at least Mbappe as a mainstay player is able to score a lot to win but if not it is better to use a defensive formation for a draw than to lose embarrassingly.

[MAAManda]

I think PSG will win the League One title this year as well But securing this title will not achieve much PSG should aim for the Champions League.

Many people also said the same thing during the 2020/21 season in Ligue 1, but what happened? In fact, it was a team like Lille that managed to become Ligue 1 champions at that time.

Kane also started to play well in Bayern. This may be the case and some players are easier to adapt, but we gave examples of players who definitely had a place in the first team so they did not have much anxiety that they would have to compete for this place. Although everything was a little different with Messi, he had a permanent place in the team, but for a very long time he could not show the game that was expected of him.

That's why I said that we have to wait for them for a few more match weeks, if they're not able to show their skills and capabilities, then there's no doubt that PSG will experience one of their worst seasons.

[marcous]

Honestly PSG made some serious serious transfers this season. I am %100 certain that they are building a team that will be great even if Mbappe leaves, which we are still not sure but he may stay too by the looks of it.

I do not mean this year, this year he does look like he will stay, I mean next summer was the point, I am not sure if he will leave or not, but they are ready for both cases. They got Ugarte, Dembele, Kolo Muani, Lucas Hernandez, Barcola, Ekitike, Asensio and some other players. That is the maximum you could do in a single summer. They actually became so so much better. I think they are going to be the champions of the ligue 1 as always but I bet they will have a lot of points difference this time around.

They have included both many and quality players in their squads. All of them are young and of age to be stars. That's why i like psg's transfers too. they are making moves that can be successful in the coming years and they strive to be the best in the world.
I don't think there will ever be a situation like not being a champion in their own league anyway. Their goal will be to win the Champions League, not the league championship

If you look at transfermarkt data, PSG has a squad with an average age of 25.4, I interpret this as an ideal squad for the long term. It could be said that PSG transfer movement was quite good, full of calculations and of course this had been prepared long ago. The transfer market has closed and Mbappe will automatically stay, an advantage for Luis Enrique to have him in the squad. To finish in first place, PSG will certainly face challenges from within and from other Ligue 1 clubs. If all the players are fit and no one is injured, of course it's very easy, Enrique only needs to think about certain formations and approaches to speed up the adaptation of new players. The rest PSG can progress smoothly, and only focus on the matches at hand.

LOSC, Lyon, Monaco, Marsielle are challenges for PSG in Ligue 1, the rest I don't think are worthy opponents for them. It's true that PSG is targeting the European Champions League, that doesn't mean it doesn't prioritize the Domestic League. Of course a club that has spent a lot of money to build a squad will target a lot of trophies, slowly PSG can make it happen.

[Minor Miner]

I think PSG will win the League One title this year as well But securing this title will not achieve much PSG should aim for the Champions League.

PSG is the most favorite team for the title in Ligue 1 this season. Even Taru is not certain that PSG will win the title. Due to this, their performance cannot be said to be stable till now. They drew the first two of the three matches and won the third. PSG's performance has been erratic. Especially their attacking performance is still weak. If the attack is not strong, PSG's chances of winning the title will decrease.

PSG's main rivals for the title this season will be Marseille and Monaco. And the performance of these two teams is quite good. Marseille have won two and drawn two of their 4 matches. Monaco, on the other hand, have won two out of three matches, and will win today's match as well. PSG are now eighth in the table. Topping the table won't be easy for PSG.

I think it's temporary, for it's clear that PSG are not having the best of times at the moment. Two good players have left, Messi and Neymar, it would seem that PSG can cope without them, because there is Mbappe, but as far as everyone knows there are disagreements between the player and the management, it is always bad, even though Killian still performs. I think the team needs some time to adapt

It is probably more about the persistence of their contenders than about the performance of PSG, because I don't think that PSG will hit the floor at full speed and lose every second game or something. In a bad season they still will win enough points to win the title in Ligue 1, unless there is one team that can really take the competition to the next level and this is what it will come down to.

You can already see that there is no single team thus far that could manage to win the first four games. This gives PSG already some room to breath and that is the problem if PSG is supposed to be beaten. Despite their relatively bad start they can win one win be in second position and nobody would really complain because once they solve some of their problems, they can hardly be stopped again. It needs a team that exploits PSG's weak times.

Kylian has stayed with the team but his mind is still elsewhere. I don't know if he can fully contribute to the team. As it is known, PSG put him on the sales list, but no team can afford this high cost right now. Even if he does, there is a priority team for Mbappe and he is taking every opportunity to go to them. It may be playing with PSG this year, but it may outperform last year.

I don't think with Ligue 1 is difficult for predicting who will be the winner, actually PSG is favorable team for winning Ligue 1 in this season although with not well start last several matches before. Current stop standings managed by Monaco and Marseille is not existing for longer time and PSG will return to the top standings position. PSG is the only one teams in Ligue 1 have busy activities in transfer window than other Ligue 1 teams haven't much money for signing new player.

Still Mbappe in player list make easily for PSG keep as favorable teams for winning Ligue 1 tittle in this season, no doubt PSG is most favorable teams become the winner and if bad happening first half season they will sign many new player again how to defend their Ligue 1 tittle last season.

I think the team needs some time to adapt

In fact, I see PSG this season much better than last season in terms of play. Under the tutelage of new coach Enrique PSG's game is much better, to the point. The cooperation is solid because now the player composition is balanced, not unequal like last season. So I think this team is better than last season. The entry of Asensio and Ousmane Dembele had a very significant impact on the game, plus Mbappe, who did not leave, became a very real force in the League and Champions League this season.

Although improvements occurred in teams such as Marseille and Monaco. It's not tough competition for PSG to win the title this season, I'm sure PSG can win the title again this season. But for the Champions League, I'm not sure they can reach the final.

I think they are going to be the champions of the ligue 1 as always but I bet they will have a lot of points difference this time around.

100%. PSG has changed its development strategy to a rational one - now they buy the strongest players and not brands. If they continue to shuffle the roster like City, then in three (maximum) years they will reach the same level. Kolo-Mouani is the best player of last season in the Bundesliga according to the players. He is young and they bought him for only 95 million - a very modest price compared to other transfers we have seen this summer. By making such purchases, they will really strengthen the squad, plus if he does not fit into the team, they will easily change him to a player of the appropriate level.

[Slow death]

yesterday's games had a result that surprised me, I'm talking about the Nantes game against Olympique, it was a game in which Olympique scored a goal very early and it seemed like they would come out of that game with victory, Olympique's luck increased even more when the player Nantes got a red card in the 9th minute, so Nantes had 10 players and Olympique had 10 players and was winning the game, they were all good conditions to win the game, but surprisingly Nantes with only 10 players managed to score a goal and tied the game and with that Nantes defended very well and managed to end the game with a draw. I don't know how the Olympique players feel after this game ends

honestly and it was a humiliating result for olympique, another game yesterday was the Rennes game against Brestois, in this game there were no goals and the game ended in a draw, with this result both teams remain in the top 4 of the table provisionally, I highly doubt it that manage to maintain these positions until the end of the league. yesterday's last game was Monaco's game against Lens, in this game I had no doubts that Monaco would win, Lens is not doing well, in the last few games they were unable to win in at least 1 game, with this defeat they are left with 4 consecutive games without winning

It's a bad start to the league for Lens and if things don't change in the next few games I don't doubt we'll start to hear that they're going to fire the coach, generally in cases like these there's no other way, the team management fires the coaches. In the case of Monaco, I must say that this is a good start to the season for Monaco, who in 4 games they have not lost in any game and are at the top of the table provisionally, it was also incredible that Monaco did not concede a goal in this game, that is why What can we expect from Monaco this season? Can Monaco compete against PSG? Can Monaco be champion? What do we have to give us the answer to this question?

[Leviathan.007]

Randal Kolo Muani is the most expensive palyer of PSG in this transfer window they hired him from Eintracht Frankfurt while this team wanted to keep this palyer and Kolo Muan had bad behavior there, that's why he made his team to accept the offer, and let him go, now Kolo Muan got injured in the training and the most expensive players of PSG in this simmer will be absent against Olympique Lyonnais.

I have not seen any news that Kolo Muani was injured in training and if it does happen Im sure Kolo Muani injury is not too serious and will still appear in the match against Lyon.

If it is possible that Kolo Muani will not be able to appear in today match, there is still Mbappe who can provide a winning opportunity to score, but I actually want to see Mbappe performance in collaboration with Kolo Muani and hopefully this player can appear in the match later.
