French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[KTChampions]

The option to extend the contract for a year depends on Mbappe and he has not activated it. PSG can literally do nothing in this situation. Mbappe will leave for free in the summer and I don’t see what can be discussed here. Taking into account the fact that he returned the loyalty bonus to PSG (a gesture of goodwill), it can be assumed that the parties reached a peace agreement and Mbappe will simply finish this season and leave.

In my opinion I think for Mbappé to remain at PSG next summer depends on their performance in the Champions League and even if they win the league trophy it won't be enough to keep him in the team, lets not be quick to forget that he almost forced himself out of the his current team, and even had a secret contract negotiation with Realmadrid, which made PSG to increase his release clause and I was surprised to see him sign another 1 year contract with them.

But in the new contract he signed, Mbappé is free to  negotiate with any team of his choice after this season but PSG would sell him for the right price though they would still try as much as possible to keep him but like I said earlier, their performance in the Champions League determines whether Mbappé would remain in the team or not, else I think he could move to Realmadrid by summer.

  Honestly, I didn’t understand what you wrote at all. What contract? Maybe there is some news that I missed? Maybe you can provide links? Mbappe has not signed (as far as I know) any new contracts, which means his current contract will expire in the summer of 2024 and he will leave for free. PSG will not be able to sell him.

Still unbelievable that Lyon has only 2 points in 6 games and also only 3 goals scored so far...and by the overall look of the current squad , I wouldn't be surprise if they will relegate this year or at least having a fight to avoid it. They will play tomorrow against Reims who are currently on 5th place and having a decent team who could create serious scoring chances during their games so Lyon might take another defeat tomorrow and that might result in changing the coach.  

Even worse is, Lyon did not get any wins in the six matches it has played this season. Yes, I also know that the 2 points that Lyon has are from 2 draws when Lyon played against Le Havre and Nice. But regarding the next match Lyon will play away against Reims too, it seems Lyon is still possible to lose. Because after all, from the existing head to head record it is also that Lyon does not have the dominance of victory when Lyon plays against Reims. So yes, because at this moment Lyon is very destroyed, it is very possible for Lyon to get another defeat. But even so, I hope Lyon can recover at least to get out of the relegation zone, and not to be relegated at the end of this season.

Guarantee of victory for Reims to get the advantage because it is the host but it is still not as easy as we think even though currently Reims looks a little stronger but a club usually has weaknesses which are known by weak clubs and we can see from the Head To Head history that both clubs have performed which is equivalent when facing each other.
But this will be Reims' opportunity to take revenge when previously they were beaten away from home with a slightly higher score. I am quite sure that Reims will win the match even though they have to compete fiercely, but I will see the victory that Reime gets and to bet on this match I will try taking bets under 3.25 with odds @1.6

Good defence from clermoont. I never predict if psg will end the match against clermoont with draw as the fianl result. PSG has been making so many goal attempts but it keep failed in securing full points from clermont. It's really bad performance from PSG.
Im really disappointed with PSG performance.

Clermont succeeded in adding just one point on the table, clinching them to be ranked 17th on the table, they're not safe because the team is still in the relegation zone, absolutely nothing they would do against the Parisians other than fought for shared points. It was totally dissapointing results from the elite club, Luis Enrique will make amends for the clueless draw against Clermont. Perhaps Clermont boss, Pascal Gastien was a little bit satisfied with his team, the goal keeper, Mory Diaw made clear 10 saves against Paris Saint-Germain which was unbelievable, he's MOTM for this brilliant saves.

For Clermont holding PSG to a draw was a success, for PSG I think they wasted a very good opportunity. Failure to get full points hampered their progress towards taking top position in the standings, PSG only weakness in the match was finishing on all opportunities, and it's true that Clermont defense is quite good to withstand PSG attacks. Dembele has not been able to score for PSG during his move from Barcelona, despite having played in seven games.

Next, PSG will travel to St. James Park to play the UCL match against Newcastle, Luis Enrique must maximize all his potential if he wants to beat Newcastle. The match will definitely be fierce, because Newcastle is currently in good form.

[MinoRaiola]

The score is still 0-0, both clubs are still plying goalless. Paris Siant Germain controlled the game, but they still struggled to find the back of the net. They haven't fully developed their game either, and Clrmont have so far been able to keep Paris Saint Germain from penetrating their defense further. I think the Paris Saint Germain midfield must work more creatively, because they need to make their attacks more creative to be able to penetrate the defense built by Clermont. Because this is their chance to get 3 full points.

Unbelievable that in the game no goal was scored. Clermont has only two points in 6 games, the most valuable point yet vs paris. Mappe also played, after his injury, but still no victory. Kolo Muani was again unsuccessful with no goal, he must make goals, he cost a lot of money. If Nizza wins tomorrow the top game against Brest, they are on place one and 3 points ahead of Paris.

But it will be enough for them anyway because they don't have a team in the league that wins it all. PSG can still be really calm. Monaco is giving away important points all the time, too. And PSG's offense is once again very good on paper, but they can't make full use of their potential. It was similar when Neymar and Messi were still there, but it could get even worse for them this season. A draw against Clermont was another horrible game for them.

That was a horrible start for PSG. Only 3 wins after 7 rounds, 3 draws and a loss. They missed 2 points today vs Clermont Foot and weren't able to score a goal. A team that spend a lot of money for its players and bring known coach to see its results like that should think twice about what's going on and try to fix that. Staying second in Ligue 1 for the moment was related to the mistakes done by its direct rivals like Marseille and Monaco. Brest could take a good lead if the score remain 2 - 2 between these two teams.

[rby]

No team wins this match. But I hope no team can score any goal in this match. If no team can score any goal in this match then the match will be draw.

Goals will appear in this match, but currently up to the 61th minute the two teams currently competing have not scored a single goal.
PSG have a big chance to score goals and win the match because they dominate the game.
For PSG, this match is quite important to continue to be on track to compete for the title because their opponent Clermont Foot is not a strong team in terms of player quality. PSG also doesn't want them to be too far behind on points with Brest.
Just wait until the final minute, the goal will happen. PSG's current statistics deserve to win.

This match was very important for PSG. They are far behind in the points table. Their performance this season has been very erratic. They have managed to win only 3 out of 6 matches. Opponent Clermont Foot is a very weak team. The team is at the bottom of the points table. Even so, I don't see a good performance from the players of PSG in today's match. Despite some good attacks, they could not break Clermont Foot's defence. Although they created several good chances, they were unable to score. Let's see if PSG is able to achieve full points in the end.

The PSG problem did not start today, I already knew that the club will run into problems when the season starts. During the time of pre-season that is the period all the football clubs used to amend their mistakes and go to pre-season tour in order to train their players in one way or the other. when it was time for PSG to use their pre season to get good result they were busy having cases with Mbappe and the media.

This is absolutely affecting their performance this season. This is not the PSG that everyone used to know in the France League. I am hopeful that things will turn around but if care is not taken they might lose their number one spot which almost sounds like a birth right to them.

[len01]

damn! happened again and this time PSG destroyed my multi bet even though I was a little disappointed with this defeat but I felt there was something unfair when PSG visited Clermont at home several times the Clermont defense line players committed violations in the penalty box and it should have been a violation and PSG had the opportunity to penalty but the referee refused and it happened twice when I watched the match and I had bad thoughts about the referee like it was very unfair.

and what really disappointed me here was that when Gancalo Ramos got a chance in front of goal to score, his shot was off target and failed to score. PSG performance made me a little disappointed because they destroyed my odds @11 but I can understand because I still think the referee was unfair.

[Oneandpure]

Lens continued the positive trend after winning two consecutive wins in Ligue 1, Lens was slowly up higher position to 13th place currently after their second win in Ligue 1 against Strasbourg 0-1. These results make Lens confidence upcoming match and their target back to the top fourth standings place with remaining many points left from top current standing team Brest.

Still unbelievable that Lyon has only 2 points in 6 games and also only 3 goals scored so far...and by the overall look of the current squad , I wouldn't be surprise if they will relegate this year or at least having a fight to avoid it. They will play tomorrow against Reims who are currently on 5th place and having a decent team who could create serious scoring chances during their games so Lyon might take another defeat tomorrow and that might result in changing the coach.  

Bad start from Lyon and new manager Fabio Grosso can help more wake up from relegation zone, Lyon as team not winning one match until playing six games in Ligue 1, its bad performance for Lyon and they have get first winning upcoming against Reims if want secure their position in Ligue 1.

Overall PSG actually played well, but were unlucky in front of goal. This was because they were all hesitant in taking shots, even though some of them had open space to attack, instead they continued to try to make so many passes and crosses in the Clermont goal box. Psg must immediately improve their teamwork touch, and try not to look predictable in scoring goals.

I wonder if this is the reason why PSG players miss so many opportunities as usual and fail to score. I understand better why during his 6 years at PSG he never managed to be decisive in winning a single Champions League if we look at his miserable performance against a small team like Clermont they had to be satisfied with a draw.

No matter the competition that's ahead or that await PSG they don't have any reason to draw that game against Clermont, I mean these PSG players are becoming bunch of losers every single day, why on earth should they draw against a team that's not match for them in any way, a team that's sitting at 17th on the log,? That's annoying to me, it's hurts to see this happening.
If it was Lens or let me say Monaco I'd say fine they have given the PSG side a headache before but Clermont, common, this is a joke.
They should have lost the game instead of playing out a draw, I must say that the home team did very well.
I hope in the champions league PSG would demolish their opponent for drawing this game, because as it stands that champions league game is their excuse for playing out a draw today.

Fans would be very disappointed at their performance today, securing a point against Clermont foot that's got bad record in the Ligue one so  far and are even in the relegation zone, what suprised me is that after beating Marseille 4-0 last week PSG are struggling to get 3 points against Clermont foot who are a very weaker side, I expected them to be leading with 2 goals in the 1st half and even if Clermont foot were at home it shouldn't be a very difficult task to beat them.
 
 If PSG had won the game,they would had got a chance to top the league but they're currently 3rd position under Brest due to the unexpected draw even with the fact that they didn't rest any of their star player,I just hope they do better against Newcastle in the UCL.

It was similar when Neymar and Messi were still there, but it could get even worse for them this season. A draw against Clermont was another horrible game for them.

This is not a terrible end to their progress in Ligue 1 this season. Because, I am sure PSG will have many setbacks this season for every game they play. If see a draw in this match, of course it is a bad thing for them because the opponent they are facing is a weak team this season. PSG had many golden opportunities for them in this match but Mbappe and Kolo were unable to complete the opportunities they had to score goals. Luis Enrique should have trusted Goncalo Ramos to be the starter in this match rather than choosing Kolo Muani.

On the other hand, PSG should be at the top of the standings this week if they really try to get 3 points. But in reality PSG wasted this opportunity because they were only able to achieve a draw in the match against Clermont. For Monaco, they did not waste their chances in this match because they managed to secure 3 points at home which made Monaco return to the top of the standings.

Kolo Muani was again unsuccessful with no goal, he must make goals, he cost a lot of money. If Nizza wins tomorrow the top game against Brest, they are on place one and 3 points ahead of Paris.

honestly, this was already expected to happen, PSG has been bringing in strange coaches and making strange hires, and they have even been lucky to win the league1 due to the lack of a big investment from the other teams in the league1, but that kind of luck They don't last forever, at some point other teams will also be able to have a good squad even if they don't spend a lot of money, and PSG, which has only gotten worse in its squad every season, at some point would fall a lot, and that's what we're seeing this season . and from what I see, PSG's problem comes from the top of the management, they should start by making big changes at the top of the management and then work their way down to the squad. I wonder if with these bad results they will be able to convince Mbappe to stay with the team for more seasons

to be honest, if I were mbappe I would leave PSG as soon as I had a good opportunity, they are a team with a lot of problems and because of that they won't win anything when it comes to European competitions, their next game will be against Newcastle, a game of the premier league, it's funny that newcastle was also a small team (of course it's a team with a long history) but since the rich put money into newcastle they are making the team go far, this shows that it's not just putting money into a team, you need to have good direction for things to work very well. There are examples like Manchester United, which is another team with a lot of money but can't win anything, and Manchester United's problem is very similar to PSG's problem.

while in a team, the team's management gets involved a lot in matters of decision-making regarding the signing of players, then the coaches will have very limited powers, thus making meaningless signings, and the saddest thing about this is that when the team doesn't win the games , it is the coaches who are fired and the entire management remains, and the new coach comes to suffer from the same problems, and they fire the coach again. It is difficult to achieve anything good with this failed system. In my opinion, PSG will lose in the next game of the European Champions League against Newcastle

Paris Saint Germaine's goalless draw against Clermont is undoubtedly the most surprising result of all the matches that was played across Europe's top five leagues today. PSG did not only fail to win the game but failed to score against a team that had only one point point from all the league matches they've played before the game.
The is PSG's worst start to the season after 7 games under since the current Qatari owners took over the management of the club. Luis Enrique I don't think has any   good reason to justify such result. The club needs to do better or risk finishing the season without a major trophy

[Btc_1856]

I believe PSG has carefully prepared for Mbappé to leave. Last season, they were ready to sell him. A big team like them won't depend on him. They are prepared to push him to the bench or sell him quickly. PSG is a financially strong team, and recruiting many stars to replace Mbappé is easy.
Saudi Arabia's "money" would make Mbappé the highest-paid player, but he doesn't need this. 'Success,' as you said, Mbappé requires individual and collective titles. A talent like him gradually fades away with PSG.

I'm sure of this too. It’s hard not to notice that, given the presence of such players as Kolo Muani, Ramouche and Dembele in the team besides Mbappe, there is some “crowding” among the forwards. Apparently PSG hoped until the very end that Real would make an offer that would suit PSG and Mbappe would go to Real this summer, but Real have been strictly rational for many years and they decided to get Mbappe for free, even a year later.

Exactly. You can't force a player who doesn't want to stay at your club. PSG's actions are quite irrational. I have a feeling PSG might resist selling Mbappe to Real Madrid and get angry over the situation. PSG did their part, now it's Madrid's turn to act and they might get Mbappe for FREE. Star players are leaving PSG; it's only a matter of time Mbappe make his exits. They've caused their own problems, and I wouldn't want any good player to come to PSG again.

It seems that Real Madrid is also fed up with Mbappé. Actually, they're not willing to spend a lot of money to get him. Mbappé has too many problems in the dressing room, and he can turn around and continue signing a contract with PSG. Real Madrid still has many names for them to choose from. The pursuit of Mbappé is unnecessary. But if they get him for free in the next transfer window, it will be a gift for them.

and I wouldn't want any good player to come to PSG again.

There will continue to be good players coming to PSG because they have strong financial potential. Unbelievable salaries are a trick for PSG to get good players. I give an example: Neymar left Barcelona to go to PSG.

Paris Saint Germaine's goalless draw against Clermont is undoubtedly the most surprising result of all the matches that was played across Europe's top five leagues today. PSG did not only fail to win the game but failed to score against a team that had only one point point from all the league matches they've played before the game.
The is PSG's worst start to the season after 7 games under since the current Qatari owners took over the management of the club. Luis Enrique I don't think has any   good reason to justify such result. The club needs to do better or risk finishing the season without a major trophy

PSG is increasingly inconsistent in Ligue 1 even though in terms of strength they are quite strong on all fronts this season. But the draw from today's match means their quality seems to be in question this season. When facing a team with a low ranking, they seem to find it difficult to achieve maximum results. I think if PSG continue to throw away their points then I believe they will suffer the same fate as last season, namely competing until the end of the competition to become champions.

Mbappe received a yellow card in this match, he was really frustrated because he failed to score a goal in this match. Statistically, PSG has succeeded in dominating possession of the ball, but if the final result is without 3 points, of course that is not very important. Luis Enrique seems to need time to organize the PSG squad so that they can maintain concentration to achieve victory in every match they play.

[Btc_1856]

Deciding to wait for Mbappe to be free is difficult now because by extending Mbappe's contract for 1 season indirectly this makes PSG still comfortable with selling Mbappe at a fairly high price.
Now indeed the decision is in Madrid whether they want or not to spend money on Mbappe especially I think for now they (Madrid) can be more comfortable to negotiate because Mbappe will definitely be sold in the summer because PSG has no choice now apart from selling Mbappe because the way of coercion they cannot do for a player of Mbappe's calibre.

PSG will not sell Mbappé for a high price, even if they extend the contract for another year. Mbappé seems to have determined that his next stop will be Madrid. He turned down many offers from big clubs. Continuing to prolong this transfer will cause damage to both sides, but the one who will suffer the most is probably PSG. They could lose Mbappé entirely without getting any money.
That's right, Madrid is the beneficiary, and PSG has to sell Mbappé to them at a cheap price. Madrid is the one who decides. They can buy Mbappé, and Haaland is also a suitable name for them to spend money on. If PSG keeps the transfer price tight, Madrid is ready to find another player.
