French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[X-ray]

Each time I see the big boys of Ligue 1 beating teams like Marseille I just see it as something that normally happens in that league.
So annoying that no team can stand up and make life a living hell for PSG, as it stands they (PSG) are superior over other teams and if you have to set the PSG team to go out and make name for them self you see them acting like under dogs especially in the champions league.
That's the issue with this PSG team, well for now I don't think there's any team in that Ligue 1 that can represent, they should all be playing only their domestic league instead.

Well teams are trying to match up to PSG in the French league, but they do not have the owners from QATAR; How can they match up? Clubsides need money to buy quality players and challenge; not many in French league can afford to do so. Still the league is still challenging in its best money.

So true. The valuation owned by PSG is far above compared with its competitors. I would like to see more qatari or saudi investors to come to this league. This league needs another big investors to acquire some players.
The only thing that i was aware if almost a half of stake of strassbough owned by chelsea. That's a sense season to see strasbough was showing an impressive performance. The more investors will make league become even more competitive.

Nice is doing its best to challenge PSG, I think that counts for something.

At least we have some clubs were able dominating the big club in the league 1. PSG must be careful caused by the small clubs are threatening it.

The current situation is far better compared with last season. It's something special to see some clubs like marseille and PSG beaten by the garbage clubs in the league.

In fact, while PSG still had dominance at the top of the Ligue 1 standings last season, but I personally felt that none of the teams below PSG at that time had good consistency. So random changes often occur, especially at this moment there are no big or top teams or seeded teams in Ligue 1 that have consistency with good wins. So yes, with results like that, it is not surprising that the mediocre teams in Ligue 1 can make good use of this situation to be in the top zone of the standings. Although indeed, I also believe that they still won't be able to maintain such a good position until the end of the season. But at least, Ligue 1 has become more interesting this moment, because every team at least has the opportunity to feel at the top of the standings.

Over the last few years, no team has been able to maintain the consistency of performance that has made PSG always dominate Ligue 1. Brest's performance was very surprising at the start of this season, they managed to reach the top of the standings after performing well since the start of the season. Nice also followed in the footsteps of Brest which made PSG have to settle for being in third place.

The chase for points will continue, PSG, which has always dominated the top of the standings, is slowly starting to find its best form. I'm not sure Brest and Nice will be able to maintain their performance until the end of the competition, there will be changes in position in the standings in the next few matches. PSG, which is starting to find confidence, will try to reclaim first position from Brest. It is not difficult for PSG to reach the top of the standings because the two are only two points apart.

It's still early in the season and usually teams like Brest or Nice will lose dominance after the first half break ends. Nice and Brest's performances were a little more convincing at the start of the season, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to maintain consistency until the middle of the season. Nice may have a slightly greater chance of competing in the top five of the standings and it also depends on how they are able to maintain their best performance in Ligue 1 because there are still other teams who will also continue to chase points in the next match

This is different from PSG, which has above average quality players and finds it difficult to pursue their dominance in Ligue 1, especially as they have unlimited money to buy the players they need. Currently PSG are starting to find their best playing form after experiencing a change of coach and I am still quite confident they will dominate Ligue 1 until the end of the season.

The Le Classique derby was finally won by PSG with a landslide score of 4-0 without reply and as we know Marseille couldn't do anything in this match. Marseille couldn't even register a single shot on target against Donnaruma's goal, which meant they could only be stuck in their own defense area. Meanwhile, PSG, who dominated from the start from attacks to opportunities, succeeded in confirming several goals scored by Hakimi, Kolo Muani, and also a brace scored by Goncalo Ramos.

However, PSG's victory had to be paid in kind due to the injury suffered by Mbappe in the first half and there has been no further confirmation regarding his injury to date. I hope the injury is not serious, however PSG still needs Mbappe to navigate this season's competition.

[Leviathan.007]

PSG played impressively in this match, even though Mbappe was withdrawn in the 32nd minute because he seemed to be having problems. In this match, Enrique took advantage of the momentum due to Marseille's poor performance.  The system that Enrique implemented with his 3-4-3 worked according to what he wanted.
After Hakimi's goal in the 8th minute, PSG was able to double its lead with a goal from Randal Kolo Miani who used a ball that bounced off the goal post. In the second half, Goncalo Ramos, who replaced Mbappe, was able to contribute one goal with an assist from Dembele in the 47th minute.

In this match, PSG really controlled the game and Marseille even had difficulty counterattacking. Throughout this match, not a single shot was on target even though they had one big chance. In this match, Luis Enrique was able to pay for their previous defeat against Nice at the Parc des Princes. Even Randal Kolo Muani is starting to adapt well to his teammates on the field, as is Goncalo Ramos. It seems that Goncalo is more ideal to play as a supersub before he returns to being the main starter as a center forward. or, if Mbappe has to be absent due to injury. Enrique can play Goncalo on the wing, and can rotate with Kolo Muani. The match was over, as a result the score ended 4-0.
Now, PSG is above Monaco even though they have the same 11 points. Next, PSG must remain consistent if they want to take over the top of the standings again.

I think the important thing about this game was Mbappe, we saw thing superstar player who got injured and he couldn't help the team 30 minutes after the game started.
While the PSG owners spent too much energy and invested too much money in this palyer, we saw PSG win the game against Marseille with a 4-0- result.
Maybe we can start to say Enrique's strategy is working for PSG but still, we can't forget that Marseille was not in good form at all.

I think PSG made the right choice in hiring Enrique as their manager,  he understand the task and has fastly come up with a solution to put the team in order and start winning games, PSG really invested heavily on recruiting players and even renewed Mbappe's contract to keep the team strong and stable this season and i love how they're performing recently, i enjoyed the game against Marseille because they played showed their clsss and played with a good team spirit.

 One player that caught my attention in that match is Hakimi his performance was very outstanding he scored in the Champions league against Dortmund and also scored a free kick goal yesterday, i enjoyed watching him play and I think he's very good in the attacking role, one of the best wing back so far but he plays more like a left winger and got an accurate shot from outstanding the box, in general PSG played very brilliantly and deserved to win.

Enrique commented on the substitute of Mbappe, he said that he injured his ankle, nothing serious, he will quickly return to the game, but Mbappe was in pain so it was reasonable to replace him.

The match with Marseille was played very well, there was a good game in attack and an excellent game in defense, Marseille could not even hit the PSG goal once, and the percentage of ball possession was also impressive. I'm not a very big fan of PSG, but I really like Enrique, and it seems to me that he is gradually starting to improve the game of the team.

The home match was quite good for PSG and they should have won because if they lose in this match then in the pursuit of points to move up the rankings it will be even more difficult to catch up and so far PSG progress is starting to be seen little by little but we I don't know whether developments like this will continue until the season is over or in the future they will experience a decline in performance.

In the next match PSG will host Clermont which is the bottom team so PSG might have a bigger chance of winning and for Clermont itself if they don't recover they will definitely experience relegation this season.

In the Champions League PSG will meet Newcastle in the 2nd group phase match which will take place early next month.
If PSG can still play as well as before when they beat Dortmund then PSG can also win in this match.
However the problem is that Mbappe is injured and we don't know whether he can play against Newcastle or not.

PSG is slowly starting to recovered and making significant progress, even though they experienced defeat in the match with Nice, it doesn't seems to be a pressure for PSG to continue to improve its performance.
PSG has proven this by beating Dortmund and Marseille in League 1. I thinks PSG would be nothing if not for Mbappe's because in several matches PSG always relied on Mbappe's to be a goals scoring machine for them but unfortunately Mbappe's was injured in this match and was replaced by Goncalo Ramos's even though Mbappe's was not in the match at all. did not weaken PSG defense but instead increased their strength so they were able to score 4 goals without reply, a victory which was quite surprising for PSG fans.
The competition in League 1 look increasingly interesting as the fight for the title between Nice, Brest and PSG, all three of which are in goods condition, but we don't know which of the three club will survive until the end of the seasons and become champions in League 1.

Indeed, PSG big win over Marseille had to be paid dearly due to the injury to star striker Kylian Mbappe. Although there is no further information about how serious Mbappe injury is, it seems that Mbappe injury is not too dangerous because after the match, coach Luis Enrique said that Mbappe's substitution was just to ensure he didn't suffer a serious injury.

On the other hand, PSG achieved an extraordinary victory, but we are still waiting to see whether Mbappe injury will be long enough or not. Considering the risks in the future will be quite detrimental. PSG's schedule in League 1 and UCL needs to be balanced, against Clermont Foot there is no problem if they use other players, but in preparations against Newcastle Mbappe contribution is really needed.

Enrique commented on the substitute of Mbappe, he said that he injured his ankle, nothing serious, he will quickly return to the game, but Mbappe was in pain so it was reasonable to replace him.

Hopefully Mbappe can really recover and the decision Enrique took to replace Mbappe was the right one and not leave him on the field in a worrying condition. In my opinion, in that match Marseille did not have many choices in launching attacks, Marseille only fired 6 shots without anyone threatening the goalkeeper's defense. It could be said that Marseille was very disappointed with this result.

I think it's still very early to ascertain the how long clubs like Brest and Nice will continue to remain at the top of the league table. There's every possiblity that either of them might become a strong contender for the French Ligue 1 title this season.
Paris Saint Germaine of a truth possess a squad that's just too good in terms of quality when compared to the rest of the clubs in the league but that doesn't mean that they're automatic candidates to retain the league. They will have to consistently win their matches to take up the first position in the league table.

So far I have not heard anything new about Mbappe either, that is a big shock. Kolo Muani will have to play much better if he has to compensate him. That Paris will win, many bet on it and it happened just the same. In the game Brest vs Lyon I thought Lyon could finally win a game and get a better place in the league... that was wrong. Shortly before the end Brest has made the 1:0. They are now 2 points ahead of Paris, which is not much. The next matchday will be interesting, Brest (1) will play against Nice (2) and Paris (3) will play against Clermont Foot (18).

[bering]

4-0 is decent scores for PSG considering their performance were quite impressive yesterday and a bit surprised because without Mbappe PSG has able to win with big scores and indeed Goncalo Ramos who played as the replacement of Mbappe can able to performing well and after spend 7 matches without scores goals finally Ramos can make his goals for PSG and help PSG to collect 3 points
Lens finally has able to ended their poor results yesterday that playing at home Lens was pressing Toulouse defensive lines since the beginning of first half and i can see they were very dominate the match with gets 27 total of shots and actually the scores could be more than 2-1 but luckily Toulouse has Guillaume Restes as their goalkeeper because during the match i can see he did at least 3 fantastic safe

[bestcoins1]

I think that's not very good for some teams, meaning they should be able to provide faster progress instead of waiting longer. Like Monaco, they must be able to maintain their performance to compete aggressively again in the top rankings because if they fail to maintain their best form then they will be thrown out of the top 4 the following week.

Monaco will continue to be more consistent and try to maintain their performance until the end of the season, because in Ligue1 there are only three places for the UCL zone and I think Monaco will be aiming for one of them this season even though PSG, Nice and Brest still look quite consistent in six matches at the start of this season.

Instability in big teams is often triggered by the departure of several important players in their team, as experienced by Lens because since Openda left, they have not found a new goal machine. So this is a job for Haise to improve the quality of his players, especially on the front lines.

It won't be easy to make the front line better when the season is going on like now and everyone can see how Lens are still struggling at the bottom of the rankings. So Haise has quite a tough task this season and will try to keep his team from being relegated at the end of this season, because that is something the players and coaches need to fight for this season.

Reading the news too and what Enrique did to protect Mbappe who already looked in pain, I think it was the right decision for him to have time to recover because in about 10 days there will be a match that is no less important in the Champions League.
Luckily, the fact that Mbappe had to be replaced did not have a bad impact on PSG's game, because a few minutes after Mbappe was replaced, PSG managed to score the next goal to put them ahead more, with this result PSG returned to a good trend to defend their title again.
A few days before playing in the Champions League, PSG will only face Cleremont who are at the bottom so they will still continue this winning trend and can focus a little more on the match against Newcastle.

[emrecemsan]

This was just the performance I was hoping to see from PSG in the Ligue 1.    I mean they have been weak as for team play in league matches until this one. It looks like the Champions League match against Dortmund ignited the fire for the team. Mbappe didn't make any contribution to the goals against Marseille although the final score was 4-0. But the good team play was enough to destroy their opponent. This is just the thing PSG need to maintain from now on.

Ramos (2 goals) and Kolo Muani (1 goal, 1 assist) were both great here. This is crucial news for PSG considering the expectations from these players.

[aylabadia05]

I was surprised by Lyon's condition this season. Is it true that they are now in 17th place in the Ligue 1 standings? That's what came to my mind when I opened the ligue1 website. They have never tasted even a win in 6 matches this season.
Even though the squad they have is not that bad because a number of famous names are written on their squad list.
Yesterday they also suffered a defeat against Brest with a narrow score of 1-0.
It's a very different situation.

This season is one of the worst for Lyon from a long time at a point their supporters were very angry and unsatisfied with their team performance. They are in the relegation zone, they didn't won any game this season, they lost 4 and got a draw in two other matches, they just scored 3 goals and received 11. These stats are for a random team not a team with the weight and history of Lyon!

It wouldn't be wrong if I was surprised by Lyon's achievements this season because their achievements were beyond the expectations of many football fans. Maybe in the past people knew Lyon not because they often watched Ligue 1 but because people knew Lyon because of their performance when facing other elite European teams in the biggest tournaments like the UCL which was able to make things difficult every time they faced them, but now Lyon has been absent for several seasons in the UCL.

Same goes for Lens, Lorient and Montpellier, they could do way better than this. Actually if we take a look on the table right now, it is quite random. Brest is in the first place

Other names such as Lens, Lorient may even sound like unfamiliar names to fans and me because there are only four familiar Ligue 1 teams, namely Lyon, PSG, Marseille and AS Monaco. Lyon's performance is now really in a bad condition that needs to be saved.

A few days before playing in the Champions League, PSG will only face Cleremont who are at the bottom so they will still continue this winning trend and can focus a little more on the match against Newcastle.

It so sad Mbappe couldn't continue the game to assist his teammates to score more goals and enjoy the victory maybe they would had scored  more goals if he were still present in his team, what Enrique did was a very good gesture it shows he's got love and support for his players, especially Mbappe who's their key player and i just hope the injury isn't very severe and he'll be fit to feature in their next Champions league match against Newcastle.

 Cleremont Foot is a very small team, I think the weakest so far this season therefore it would be very easy for PSG to beat them even without Mbappe's presence atleast it would give Mbappe time rest and be fit against Newcastle, that's if the injury he sustained is not very severe, because it would be bad for the team as Mbappe has an important role to play in PSG this season.

You will never know the potential of a player until he is given the platform to perform. The injury of Mbappe allowed Ramos to feature and make a mark in the game. We don't know how long the injury will last but this brace by Ramos will give the 22-year-old striker to prove his worth in the absence of Mbappe. But the Frenchman will be missed based on the fact that he is a special player.  I wish him a speedy recovery.

What I saw yesterday was a perfect attacking team even after the removal of Mbappe. Ousmane Dembele was very active and controlled the midfield while the strength and speed of Kolo Muani paved the way for the fourth goal.  This win will be a motivation to PSG who won only two of their first five games in the French League. Achraf Hakimi won the player of the match and it is obvious he deserves it. He scored a wonderful free kick and was solid throughout the games. This win and their last win in the Champions League against Dortmund might be the boost they need to defend the league title.
