French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[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.

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. 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.

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.

[slapper]

So far I'm not satisfied with what I have seen from PSG. They are even worse than last season and I believe they have a chance to lose even the Ligue 1 title to a different team. Because there is just no proper team effort now. You can't expect to be successful by relying on only Mbappe's skills. He still continues to score many goals but it just doesn't work that way.

It is the same with Tottenham and Kane situation in the last season. You know how amazing Kane was with scoring goals. But despite his scoring 30 goals Tottenham were still horrible.

Honestly PSG's future is likely to be similar to that also and just as Kane did Mbappe will leave too.

You are satisfied with what you saw from PSG because all you saw was just in French Leageu not in the Chmapnmios Leageue.
We know PSG is a strong team in the French league because of the better and more investment they had and more players they bought for their teams while other teams in this league cannot do that.
But if this team plays with another team at the same level, they can't do anything in the Chmapnios Leageu even after all the money they invested.

This is where you are wrong. Even though I think PSG has lost power, I still think they are one of the few teams with a strong squad in the UCL. Mbappe, the igniting force, is still there and there is still a possibility that they can add to their success this year. I'm sure they'll make it through the groups for the UCL, but progress in the rest of the tournament may depend entirely on who they face in the qualifying draw.

I understand your UCL PSG confidence. They shouldn't be overlooked, especially with Mbappe's electrifying play. Don't get cocky after beating Dortmund. Last year, PSG lost to Bayern Munich in the last 16, and I still think their mentality needs work. They've got the skills but sometimes lack the grit

Bayern, Real Madrid, and Man City are big names, but even dark horses may beat you if you're not careful. I think Enrique needs to establish himself before PSG is a favorite. Don't anticipate sudden miracles; Guardiola transformed Man City over years

It is normal for big clubs to get some embarrassing results sometimes. This doesn't mean that they are not good. PSG's match against Nice was a shock but it looks like Luis Enrique has identified and fixed the defense of the team. Mbappe got just a goal but he wasted more than that. Achraf Hakimi has not stopped improving and he was all over the pitch in the game against Dortmund. He overlapped consistently and was always in the right position. His goal was a mixture of class, composure, and confidence. He clearly beat a defender because slotting the ball very far from the reach of Kobel. The PSG defense was so solid that we didn't see much from the the Germany side attack led by the young striker Adeyemi.

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.

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.

I think it would be pure luck if they become UCL champions. With this squad and this game, PSG will need to get miraculous wins to win the Champions League cup. They couldn't achieve this with Messi and Neymar last year. This year, only Mbappe is left and I don't think he can achieve this alone.

[topbitcoin]

This is where you are wrong. Even though I think PSG has lost power, I still think they are one of the few teams with a strong squad in the UCL. Mbappe, the igniting force, is still there and there is still a possibility that they can add to their success this year. I'm sure they'll make it through the groups for the UCL, but progress in the rest of the tournament may depend entirely on who they face in the qualifying draw.

Just relying on Mbappe alone at PSG will not produce anything because in the end when they PSG play, they have to play as a team not as individuals. but for PSG at this time they still can't do that. The arrival of Asensio and Dembel, who were expected to be the difference this season, have also not been able to make any impact at PSG and Mbappe is only on his own now so it is quite natural that he wants to leave as soon as possible from PSG.

On the other hand, talking about the Champions League we may have to realize that PSG is said to be big only by some people because the fact is that until now, especially for the last 2 seasons, they have only been in the last 16 phase, which indicates that they are not as strong as imagined because their mentality is still very lacking.

The Champions league trophy is something the team is desperately in need of so hence the very good performance against Dortmund and I'm suprised with the way they made the game easy for themselves, once again Mbappe was very brilliant for his team but another player that stood out was Achraf Hakimi who scored  the winning goal for his team in the 58th minute of the game, i love their team spirit and how they've not allowed their slow start in the Ligue 1 affect their performance in the Champions League competition.
 
 PSG aĺso is a big team that's yet to make it's name in the Champions League competition and I believe that's what they're working on achieving and if they put more effort and work hard enough as a team then they'll stand and chance against other top teams around Europe, probably win a major trophy and be among the big names in the Champions League competition.

Yes, that's why PSG management is working hard to keep Mbappe at the club, PSG will look normal without his presence. In the first few matches of PSG season, we could see how difficult it was for Luis Enrique to get points without Mbappe supporting him. Automatically, the PSG squad dependence on Mbappe is very large, even though other players have a fairly high market value but cannot contribute according to expectations.

It is true that PSG must build a stronger foundation and improve their winning mentality if they want to be the best in Europe. It takes a long time to prepare, but for this season the chances are a little smaller I think. Unless PSG has great luck so they can beat big teams like Madrid, Barca, Munchen, Man City and Inter Milan.

[Jody.Drummer]

It might be argued that Paris Saint Germain are one of the stronger clubs in the Champions League, but the question is how strong are they when compared to the other clubs in the same competition? Not to underestimate Paris Saint Germain, but I would say that they are not stronger than the other favorites. I probably don't have to mention which clubs those are, because I'm pretty sure you can already tell which ones I'm referring to.
I'm not saying this without reason, and one of the factors for me to say that is when I look at their performance in the previous season.

PSG is always the talk of the town every season but in the end for the Champions League they still ended up in the same condition where PSG only continued until the last 16 after that they were eliminated. Currently, they have made changes in terms of plans and player reshuffles have also been made but until now PSG still hasn't found anything more and even their performance tends to decline for the start of this season.
In the Champions League their first match was still very good and they got 3 points. To be honest for the group phase even though they are in the hell group at the moment because there are 3 other big clubs in the group with them but I am quite sure for them to qualify from the group phase but after that I don't expect much and this depends on how their opponents will be after qualifying because if there are heavy opponents again like the previous 2 seasons then the last 16 phase will definitely be difficult for them to pass and they could have stopped again this season.

Assuming that they will be able to qualify from the group stage, the draw to see their opponents will be decisive. I'm talking about external factors here, because the luck of who their opponents will be in the last 16 is also something that matters. After all, we don't know which clubs will qualify from this group stage. And if they are lucky enough at the time of the draw they are matched with a weaker club, or could be considered a dark horse in the group stage. But we'll see, because we're just past the first game, and we're still a long way from the last 16.

I don't think like you. PSG have won 3 matches and dropped points in 2 matches in Ligue 1. They lost points in 3 out of 5 matches. It can't be a normal performance for the big team. The fifth team in the points table of Ligue 1 is now PSG. However, this team did not perform well in Ligue 1. However, PSG's performance against Dortmund was very composed. Their match strategy was also good. In this match we see the dominance of PSG. They dominated the match with 68% ball possession.

There are at least 5 other matches that will determine who will qualify for the round of 16. However, the victory over Dortmund was an encouraging start for PSG this season. After defeat from Nice's 2-3 in Ligue 1, many people doubted PSG's performance against Dortmund, but in fact PSG emerged victorious by getting full points in that match.

In terms of statistics, PSG really dominated the match against Dortmund, but they were not good enough in finishing where only 3/17 shots were on target. This home win is important even though PSG ultimately also has the potential to lose points in the next match.

Seems incorrect, in Ligue 1 PSG have won 2 of 5 matches and loss 7 points based on 15 points achievement if winning 5 matches, its not good start for PSG although left 3 points from current top standings teams AS Monaco. Luis  Henrique reputation helped awhile after winning in Champion League last match from Dortmund and need to get three points upcoming match against Marseille in Ligue 1. Still not consistency performance from PSG in this season, two early matches in Ligue 1 have got draw and last match have loss from Nice.
Actually, PSG helped with top standings team in Ligue 1 right now still not in consistency performance and not really difficult yet back to the top standings for few matches later if PSG can get three points on several upcoming matches.

The Parisians faced their first defeat in the league against Nice, however they demonstrated solid performance against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. For a top-tier team, maintaining consistency is crucial, especially with star players on board. However, on-field and off-field issues might be affecting their overall performance. It's noticeable that the team heavily relies on Kylian Mbappe's performance. In a recent PSG match, Mbappe shone while others faltered, highlighting how much they rely on his skills and abilities.

Currently, psg performance is not stable, and it is very hard nowadays to predict their matches, whether they win or lose. Even in the Champions League match they played against Dortmund, I don't expect them to win because their last game in their domestic league against Nice really makes me not believe in psg form. With this current performance, if the club does not improve now, it will later be a great challenging time when they will need to win, especially in their domestic league. I am just imagining psg performance last season when they played like fifteen matches unbeaten before Lens broke the unbeaten, but now that it is only five matches played, they have drawn two and lost one.
 
Beaten Dortmund in the Champions League did not give psg any guarantee that they would win their next match against Marseille because Marseille is also doing well. psg is unpredictable now with their performance, but let's see what will happen by the weekend Maybe they will win Marseille and continue with good form.

because currently what Mbappe wants the champions league title and career with the talent he has for satisfactory results in champions league.

Not entirely sure about that to be fair. Not like Dortmund is having a great season neither, and maybe we could consider that situation to be a bit more different. I get that it is not going to end up with a situation that is risky, we could still see them do wonders and there is nothing against that but we could end up seeing them change a lot as well.

I hope that they will do at least "fine", for their standards I would say if they win the league, get the domestic cup, and be either in semi-finals or finals of UCL, that is definitely a good season. Could they do that? Depending on who they draw against at UCL, they do have the capability of doing something like that and should be considered as a possibility.

Five games played so far and PSG won two games and lost one game against Nice, also they had two draws in the first week and second week of the French League.
This performance is not good for a team like PSG at all. They could get 15 points in the five games so far and they got only eight points. This can be even worse when you know the other teams in French Leageu spent less money than PSG.

Indeed, what you say is true because in the end when they are in the last 16 phase PSG always meet tough opponents but on the other hand this is also an answer that even if they meet clubs that tend to be weak in the last 16 they will still not be able to win because when facing comparable opponents they always receive defeats.

This season they are still the same as one of the favorite clubs to qualify from the group phase even though they are in a tough group but their chances of qualifying are very large but after that nothing else can be expected because in my opinion their conditions remain the same as the previous 2 seasons.

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.

I do agree but I find it very difficult to base a more general judgment on the game against Dortmund as Dortmund isn't the opponent we would usually think they are. Out of shape and huge issues defensively and their offense is really bad at the moment as well. I am really looking forward to the games to come in the Champions League when PSG plays away from home. They need more and harder challenges. They are not a bad team and they didn't lose against Nice because they lack quality, but the biggest issue is that Ligue 1 is demanding too little from PSG. They lose those games because they have problems to play at their maximum potential. But all this left aside the game against Dortmund was great.

There are at least 5 other matches that will determine who will qualify for the round of 16. However, the victory over Dortmund was an encouraging start for PSG this season. After defeat from Nice's 2-3 in Ligue 1, many people doubted PSG's performance against Dortmund, but in fact PSG emerged victorious by getting full points in that match.

This is a good start for PSG in the UCL League competition, as you said, many doubt that PSG will have difficulty beating Dormund. And this proves that PSG's mentality is very strong under coach Enrique because the defeat against Nice did not make PSG falter against Dortmund. I see PSG have found a rhythm according to Enrique's instructions, making them stronger and ready to face Marseille this week.

In terms of statistics, PSG really dominated the match against Dortmund, but they were not good enough in finishing where only 3/17 shots were on target. This home win is important even though PSG ultimately also has the potential to lose points in the next match.

Hakimi and Mbappe's goals brought PSG to victory against Dortmund at the Parc Des Princes Stadium with a convincing score of 2-0 making them first in the current group, but my prediction is that in the future they will also emerge as group F winners.
