French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[borovichok]

To be honest, I personally no longer believe PSG will be able to win the Ligue 1 title this season, because at this moment it looks like PSG still hasn't got the best form. Although it is possible, if for example PSG will focus more on the Champions League even though but still, PSG in the Champions League also does not have a good chance of reaching the final match. Even, to reach the quarter finals in the Champions League too, I personally would still doubt it. But yes, maybe my prediction is wrong because after all, I feel PSG this season does not have a good chance of getting good results in all competitions.

Paris Saint-Germain are yet to prove themselves in league games, rather they keep inconsistent results in games, winning today and losing tomorrow is definitely not a good reputation for the parisians. The club performance have decline so much, Nasser Al-Khelaifi should make more signings in January transfer window, because they cannot continue to depend on just one prominent player for results. With the previous performance of PSG, I don't think they will stand a chance to compete with other fierce opponents in the club. It's very important Luis Enrique put his team together for forthcoming challenges heading their way.

PSG played well against Dortmund in the UCL game yesterday, it was expected that the game will be a really hard one on PSG but then against the usual PSG won the game by a 2-0 victory against Dortmund, and I must say it was deserving as they dominated the game in both halves. It was least expected of PSG to get such victory as Dortmund was considered to be a )tough side considering the recent flaws on the side of the french side (PSG.

Dortmund was the favorite of the game as they happened to show more opposition against the french side before the game, it was expected that the German side would give the french side a hard time wining and even if they do it wouldn't be this much or better still a draw was what was expected of the German side but sadly they lost to the french side by two goals.

It was indeed a game of surprise as it was initially a game that most persons found difficult predicting it's possible outcome just before it's started, most persons would expect PSG to show some level of weakness and most probably not secure as much as two goals but then it's the game of football were there are many possibilities especially in the UCL.

I do agree that fans would be happy for that, and not like they worry about the league, they are going to end up getting better anyway and I think they are going to end up with a result that would be good for them. I feel like the best thing to do in this case would be UCL for them since they are failing to get that, even if they end up losing the league and the cup, but end up winning UCL instead, that would very much prefer that.

However, after seeing City last night, even though their opponent was weak, I could say that it would require a miracle for a team to beat City, even with many players missing, they were still playing with an amazing talent and they are looking a lot more unbeatable this season.

Their big target is of course the UCL trophy which they have been targeting for a long time. The victory in the match against Dortmund gave quite a good impression of PSG progress in the Champions League this season and fans seemed happy with this first win. PSG are in the tightest group this season so this first win will make them even more confident for the upcoming matches. I admit that PSG this season is better prepared, both in terms of player depth and also their coach, they are really a team that really counts this season.

Luis Enrique must be able to bring PSG to appear consistent throughout the Group Phase matches. PSG next opponent in the Champions League is Newcastle United. Of course, this is not a weak opponent because Eddie Howe team was able to hold AC Milan to a draw at San Siro. Of course PSG must play more impressively like they did when they beat Dortmund. 3 points will mean a lot for PSG in that match, but the match will start in 2 weeks. Of course both teams still have plenty of time to prepare their strengths before the match starts.

PSG this time got a better coach, they are working this Enrique and this be a great advantage for them. Also, PSG made many investments for this season and they bought many palyer for their team.
On the other hand, Dortmund, lost important players like they lose every season and that's why I can't say this result was predictable.

[Oluwa-btc]

Of course, it is very sad that they lost 3-2 at home, but as we mentioned, this platform is UCL. Last year Inter were not very good in Serie A but they almost won the UCL. That's why I find PSG's performance acceptable. They will definitely win League 1, I hope they can be in a good position in the UCL.

In Ligue1 it is still possible for PSG to win again this season, but in the UCL it seems it will still be very difficult because considering PSG's strength is very different from last season. But if it's just for a better position in the group stage, I think PSG can still achieve it if PSG doesn't suffer more defeats there. Because group F is a very tough group for all teams even though PSG succeeded in slaughtering Dortmund yesterday in their first match in the group stage.

To be honest, I personally no longer believe PSG will be able to win the Ligue 1 title this season, because at this moment it looks like PSG still hasn't got the best form.

No other club pose such strength and power though. League one Champions are still not the Paris Champions we know some seasons back.
They had good game against Dortmund though. First half was not easy game. Finally Mbappe and Hakimi made things work. Hakimi goal should be voted UEFA goal of the week. It was a sublime efforts even t a difficult spot.

May be until PSG is able to do better than what they have done in the past that's when we should see Enrique as a good coach because right now they are still figuring their way out to make things better for the team and they need to keep winning their games to keep their motivation alive. Concerning the investments made by PSG, I think they spent so much money that they need the champions league to prove it otherwise I wouldn't say they made something out of the players they brought to the team and for the Dortmund side, it's no longer hidden that they sell out an important player from their team almost every new season but that alone shouldn't weaken the team because they still got other good players in the team

PSG was always the first team in the French League but because of their poor performance, they could never achieve in the Chmapnios Leageu and that's why PSG changed the coach and started working with Enrique, I think this time earning the Champions League title is not far from their hand if they do the same performance we saw from hem against Dormount in the next games.

The target is still far away, with only one match win you would think that the Champions League trophy is not far away but the reality is something different. A team that does not have a good defender, a team that does not have a good midfielder, and a team that depends on the performance of only one player in the strike position, how can a team win a major tournament trophy like the Champions League.  
Luis Enrique is a very experienced manager we have no doubt but without quality players how will he use his experience. You talk about the Champions League but the Champions League is far from it, PSG will have to struggle to retain the Ligue 1 title this season.  
Don't forget PSG's next two matches in the Champions League are against Newcastle and AC Milan which will never be an easy match for PSG.

PSG's performance become even more inconsistent. Th team looks so hard in beating the mediocre club without mbappe. PSG can only count mbappe but he can leave anytime from there. I meant real madrid can take him to the santiago bernabeu anytime.
It will be a disaster for PSG if that will happen caused by mbappe has become the main key for the club in winning the match on UCL and league 1. I can't even imagine to see PSG to play without him. It will be a disaster for sure.
I hope mbappe will stay or khelaifi needs to find someone to replace him. The most difficult thing to find someone has pretty similar ability like him. It will be so good to see him stay even longer but mbappe has not yet decided his decision for sure.
Given that PSG's offensive tactics revolve around mbappe, if he's absent, the team's performance may suffer significantly. It has proven once mbappe was absent during the early matches against some easy team.
PSG was unable to maximize its chance by missing a lot to scoring the goals.

There are still many processes they have to do which may require a lot of hard work to achieve. We have just witnessed all the teams in the Champions League who have just finished 1 match and there are 5 more matches before they advance to the round of 16. So for PSG they started with a win so that was good capital for them the next match.

We have seen that PSG's game is very dependent on the figure of Mbappe because if there was no Mbappe their game would not be very strong. So that's why PSG really needs Mbappe this season. Asensio had to miss this match due to his injury but his replacement was not able to make a good contribution in this match like Kolo. Dembele seems to need a long adjustment to adapt to Luis Enrique's game scheme.

Bad news came from Marseille, because coach Marcelino was reported to have left the club after achieving results of 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat, including failure in the UCL play off. Marcelino was appointed as Marseille coach last July and he only played 7 matches with Marseille. It seems that the results were not satisfactory enough to make him want to part ways with the club and this is not news of the coach's dismissal.

Marcelino preferred to resign as Marseille coach and even though he received a contract lasting until 2025. Currently Marseille has appointed Pancho Abardonado as interim coach and I hope Marseille will soon find a replacement because the competition in Ligue 1 at the start of this season is very fierce, especially last season they finished in 3rd position, so at least they have to finish in the same position or better again.

I do not think that the results actually were that bad, to be honest. Yes, I understand that the Champions League was not a good tournament for them in this season. But they did not lose even one match so far in the ligue1. so maybe they could have performed even better going forward in the season. But it is what it is. Now I don’t know whom they will bring in as the new coach. Right now they have appointed Pancho Abardonado as the coach of the team.

I don't even know if this is permanent or not. I don't think this is a permanent decision. They are probably looking for a coach right now.

PSG's level was only for winning europa league. It never touch UCL level. The only best achievement once PSG was reaching the UCL final a few years ago but i don't think PSG will able to achieve it again. PSG is not moving to the good progress.
It's declining a lot since messi and neymar have gone from the club. I remind you that PSG was achieving UCL final once messi and neymar were still there.
PSG was never able to go to the final without them all. The same thing is happening again but the only different if PSG is not having messi and neymar at this moment. I have bad feeling if PSG will stop at the play off.
Like i said that in the past if PSG will be only counting on mbappe and the club will never able to win UCL. There will be much more stronger team to come in preventing PSG to go to the next round.

I also feel that way, however, if a team doesn't lose in a row that's already a pretty good result but in fact it was the coach himself who decided to part ways. Marseille failed to advance to the next phase of the UCL because they lost against Panathinaikos in the play-off round. I think with the current situation it is not a bad time for Marseille to continue to improve its performance and maybe while waiting for Marcelino's replacement, I think Marseille will still produce quite good results with Pancho Abardonado.

Managers incharge of a club keep exiting because they wouldn't want a situation we're they will put under pressure. Olympique de Marseille have officially announced parting ways with the former Valencia CF coach, Marcelino this week. It was really amazing working with the coach who was previously appointed as headcoach, guess he couldn't handle the position because it was highly competitive and the fans keep criticizing him after poor games and results are recorded. Furthermore, Les Phocéens boss quitting was as a result of the team failing to qualifying for UCL game against Panathinaikos in both first and second legs.

The French club came into the limelight when Neymar was brought to PSG from Barcelona for a significant sum of money. PSG have always kept the talk of the transfer market on their side with several other great transfers after signing Neymar. The last time Messi was brought to PSG, PSG became one of the most valuable and powerful clubs for everyone, but despite being strong on the books, their performance on the field was not good at all. 

This club could not achieve anything other than the Ligue 1 title, which made the club management and fans very upset with such an expensive eleven. Then again, Mbappe's conflict with Neymar, PSG was not satisfied with the players at all, which resulted in one star after another from this club. Gone and last Neymar has left this club. 
To catch up, this club is now in the previous position, the Parisian fans are now waiting to see how much better it can do from the previous position.

[DanWalker]

This definitely does not look like the PSG we know. They have started the season pretty badly. they were able to win the last two matches. After they had drawn the first two matches, I thought they would be able to perform well since they were able to win the next two matches. But now they have lost another one. This is really inconsistent performance from them. but of course, there is still enough time for them, actually a lot of time left in the season for them to actually improve. They have performed well in the Champions League match though. They performed well against a good club like Dortmund. That is definitely going to give them some confidence. I hope they will be able to perform well in the Ligue 1 after getting a good result like this in the Champions League.

[Strongkored]

To catch up, this club is now in the previous position, the Parisian fans are now waiting to see how much better it can do from the previous position.

PSG owners and their fans must see the journey of other clubs which can eventually become a new force in European competition, none of them can achieve this quickly. It all takes time, not just money, Money will really support the development of a team, but it doesn't really depend on it.
When PSG made it to the Champions League final it meant they had the ability to do that even without a star player like Messi, but they didn't have the patience to allow the coach at that time to continue to develop better. It even took Pep Guardiola several seasons to make City stronger and they even failed in the Champions League final but their patience paid off several seasons later.

[len01]

Their big target is of course the UCL trophy which they have been targeting for a long time. The victory in the match against Dortmund gave quite a good impression of PSG progress in the Champions League this season and fans seemed happy with this first win. PSG are in the tightest group this season so this first win will make them even more confident for the upcoming matches. I admit that PSG this season is better prepared, both in terms of player depth and also their coach, they are really a team that really counts this season.

Luis Enrique must be able to bring PSG to appear consistent throughout the Group Phase matches. PSG next opponent in the Champions League is Newcastle United. Of course, this is not a weak opponent because Eddie Howe team was able to hold AC Milan to a draw at San Siro. Of course PSG must play more impressively like they did when they beat Dortmund. 3 points will mean a lot for PSG in that match, but the match will start in 2 weeks. Of course both teams still have plenty of time to prepare their strengths before the match starts.

whatever we talk about here about PSG goodness, I really support it but all I am thinking about right now is whether this will be a good start? I mean, if PSG able to win against Dortmund in this first match, will Enrique really be able to take PSG to even higher level, whereas I am actually a little pessimistic seeing that the performance of other PSG players is less than optimal, even just relying on Mbappe. and on the one hand I have a little premature thought that when PSG can surprisingly achieve achievement of holding the champions league title this season, I am a little sure that Mbappe will not leave PSG and prefer to extend his contract again.
because currently what Mbappe wants the champions league title and career with the talent he has for satisfactory results in champions league.

[klidex]

Of course, it is very sad that they lost 3-2 at home, but as we mentioned, this platform is UCL. Last year Inter were not very good in Serie A but they almost won the UCL. That's why I find PSG's performance acceptable. They will definitely win League 1, I hope they can be in a good position in the UCL.

In Ligue1 it is still possible for PSG to win again this season, but in the UCL it seems it will still be very difficult because considering PSG's strength is very different from last season.

Even, to reach the quarter finals in the Champions League too, I personally would still doubt it. But yes, maybe my prediction is wrong because after all, I feel PSG this season does not have a good chance of getting good results in all competitions.

Looking at PSG's current performance, it seems that it will be difficult for PSG to face the Champions League because PSG is unable to balance the condition of its squad and only relies on Mbappè to be its goal-scoring machine.
But it is too early to say that PSG is unable to face the UCL because PSG can still improve itself to be able to face the matches it will face from now on, and it still has Luis Enrique who is very experienced in this field. PSG must stabilize the strength of their club so that they can improve the squad's performance and try hard to be able to face the upcoming matches.
And I think the victory against Dortmund yesterday will raise PSG's enthusiasm to continue progressing until they can face the UCL later.

[Iranus]

Luis Enrique's match strategy was very effective in this match. Paris tried to dominate from the beginning of the match. And finally they succeeded. They got an excellent 2-0 win against Dortmund. I think Enrique found out the weaknesses in his squad from the last match defeat against Nice. He knew very well that their defense was weak. Enrique is trying to keep the defense strong. And PSG's defense was pretty good in this match. I saw some good attacks from Dortmund's players, but due to PSG's good performance from their defenders and goalkeeper, Dortmund couldn't score any goals. Marquinhos and Hakimi's performance was very good in this match.

This result had two reasons and one reason I agree was of course that PSG played a strong game and they have had the balance that they often lacked in other games. The other reason was how bad Dortmund played. Really, Dortmund was so bad that I am sure it is impossible for them to win a game against any team team in their group when it takes place away from home. I also can't see how they would beat PSG in Dortmund.
If PSG can play this level in Ligue 1, they should not get into trouble again like they did against Nice. That loss was not necessary, but maybe at the right time to wake up and understand that that was not enough to win a game in the Champions League. This PSG looked great.

In Ligue 1 we called out PSG's poor and erratic performance. Their performance against Nice was very poor. Especially their defenders did not perform well. But the team showed excellent dominance in the first match of the Champions League. PSG played well in the entire match against Dortmund. In particular I would say PSG's defense was solid. However, I don't think the performance of PSG's attacking players is good in this match either. However, we saw the improvement of Dembele's performance in this match. Now if Ramos and Asensio's performances are a bit better and consistent then I think PSG will be favorites for the Champions League as well. And PSG's overall performance will be stronger.
