French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[shogun47]

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.

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.

It would be good for Ligue 1 to have a different champion at times and it would certainly be a disaster for PSG, which is about to renew their squad and again invested quite a bit of money. It is always good to see when clubs with less money beat those with more money. But I guess the best example for a club that gets beaten almost every game despite having tons of money is not in Ligue 1, but in the Premier League: Chelsea!

I like the attacking line of PSG a lot though. Dembele, Muani and Mbappe might be one of the fastest trios we have in soccer these days and yet they can be defended as well.  

[KTChampions]

After Luis Enrique coached I thought PSG's performance would improve. The team will become stronger. Enrique is a very experienced coach. But the condition of PSg has further deteriorated. Mbappe is not performing well. And PSG's attack is now completely dependent on Mbappe's performance. Enrique should have added a more experienced striker to the squad this season as well. The team could add Osimhen to the team. But Enrique relies on Mbappe. And Mbappe's erratic performance has made PSG's overall performance very erratic. Winning the Ligue 1 title is now much more difficult for PSG.

PSG are doing well with their strikers - they have Mbappe, Ramouche, Kolo Mouani and Dembele. This detachment can solve all issues. Yesterday's draw disappointed many fans (and bettors), but PSG are still only two points from first place. I think that Luis Enrique is now maximally concentrated on the game against Newcastle, which will take place in two days, so yesterday’s result is not very important.

[savetheFORUM]

I watched the match and felt sorry for PSG. When I saw the football played by such a valuable club, I thought I could do better with a cheaper club. There is no attack organization. They do not have any tactics developed against closed defenses. They do nothing but throw the ball to Mbappe or a fast player on the field.

PSG cannot achieve success with this football in all the cups they play this season. They have become a team far from both quality and football spirit.

It was a huge mistake for Mbappe to stay in this team and now he is suffering the consequences of this mistake by losing points.

@flyingcarpet I have stopped expecting from PSG this season because of their poor handling of Mbappe situation and their transfers also didn’t inspire confidence hence I’m not surprised that they’re performing so poorly. Furthermore I yet strongly feel that they should sell Mbappe and replace him with Napoli’s striker Victor to salvage this season.

Here I  agree with you as things are going most chances they will face more troubling end with the Mbappé just because of this now they need to change mindset and have another big decision which will help PSG for having some honor at the end of this season Victor Osimhen is the best choice in current circumstances for them and this can bring better results for them as well.

In January, we can have another twist because Liverpool is also thinking about some change and Real Madrid is surely having perfect side which mean they will be not interested so selling Mbappé for having Osimhen can bring better results and good combination in players as well which will help this club from the worst situation.

[Polkeins]

We can say that it was quite a disappointing performance for PSG, how could 10 shots on target but not one of them was a goal, how inconsistent their attack was which could play well but instead was very poor in finishing when facing the weakest team this season.
Clermont being able to get a point when facing PSG was certainly beyond their expectations even though it was only one point, and PSG had wasted the opportunity to have the same points as Monaco.

PSG continues to surprise with results in Ligue 1, losing points with Clermont is a very bad result, but I can’t say that PSG played poorly, they attacked a lot and took a lot of shots on goal, but Clermont was able to hold out. Monaco managed to beat Marseille in a difficult match and topped the table, and today Nice will have a match with Brest, each team will have a chance to get ahead of Monaco if they win, I think that Nice can win.

It's very strange that of the 2 points Clermont earned, he took one in the PSG match.

Luis Enrique's PSG have had a poor start to the league so far, with only 4 wins in 8 games and for the first time in many years there is intrigue in the league. The departure of Messi and Neymar has so far affected the results for the worse, although everyone expected that without them PSG will immediately play, but it turned out differently. I wonder if the PSG management will have the patience to keep Luis Enrique as head coach until the end of the season with such a game and results.

It's out of place to say yesterday's results isn't very important as PSG is also looking forward to be the winners of the Ligue 1 title this season as they have started the league on a good note and has until yesterday made it to the top of the standings, I don't think the champions league is more important than the Ligue 1 title as they have more chances with the Ligue 1 than they would with the champions league.

PSG I must say disappointed me yesterday as the played a team I could classify as a very weak one owing to the fact that this team is at danger zone and should use PSG to get themselves pulled out of that position, but it was sad how PSG let them to secure a point through the draw at their expenses of staying at the top of the standings, now the happen to be at the fifth position.

The position where PSG stands at now I don't see it as healthy enough as any further mistake will keep pushing them down and that will exert more pressure on them to perform well at the champions league and try to coming up the standings on the Ligue 1 table. So at this point I feel every game both in the champions league and the Ligue 1 is very important to PSG as either of this could cost them a lot.

Yes, maybe because Clermont also managed to play well in this match, so Clermont managed to hold PSG to a draw and also they got 1 point in this match. Also, at least PSG point gap with Monaco is not too far too, so at least it is still possible for PSG to be able to get closer to returning to the top of the Ligue 1 standings this season. At least, there are still many other matches and of course, that way PSG will also still have a chance to improve its position in the standings. Because after all, it is difficult for teams in Ligue 1 to be able to maintain their winning streak, so of course there will be imperfect results for teams in Ligue 1.

If psg can't get full points against a team like clermont foot how can they get 3 points against top class team. PSG's performance continues to amaze me. PSG's position is fifth in the points table so far this season, my question is how will PSG get back from number 5 to number one where they are failing to collect 3 points in short matches.

We have seen the plans of the teams that are in the middle tier, against the big teams they plan to collect one point and against the weaker teams they plan to get full points, what is PSG's plan there? If PSG performs like this, they may be in danger of playing in the Champions League next season. 

The team still has the big name Mbappe, so the manager must plan how to increase the performance of the team through Mbappe

Of course, the draw results is very disappointing, many bettors lost in that match. PSG they couldn't take advantage of the opportunity to get full points, Enrique also probably seemed very frustrated with having a great squad but not being able to win against a weak team. In next few days PSG will visit to ST. James' Park, I wouldn't be surprised if they lose or can only share the points in that game.

I'm not completely saying PSG's finishing was bad, but the opposing goalkeeper's performance was still better. PSG shot 21 times and 10 of them were on goal. You have to know how well Mory Diaw looked, who was quick to keep the goal from conceding, so I think it was an unfavorable match for PSG. Other whise, it was a really good day for the defense and the whole Clermont team even though they had to work so hard to mark PSG who dominated the attack. Their great work paid off by securing 1 point, it was almost the same as winning the match for them.

Luis Enrique seem under a lot of pressure at the start of this competition because he had only won 3 of 7 matches for PSG in Ligue 1. Their performance was good, but they were unlucky in terms of scoring goals. I'm not sure what the problem is, but this team needs to improve for better results.

It makes me feel worry. You know talking about so many supers stars in PSG are so amazing but when it comes to the performance against clermoont and it's very disappointed to talk about their poor performance.
Playing against mediocre team and PSG can win the match. It's a shame caused by PSG was dominating the ball possessions. It's really disappointed so many fans and bettors.
Glad i have not put my bet on this match caused by PSG is too inconsistent at this moment. Three points are always important in the league. It's caused by the road of league 1 throphy was going through winning all of matches and secure three points.
PSG needs to perform better than the previous match to make sure the club can lead the first position of league 1 again.

Nice vs Brent

I have to says this is a big match because both teams currently in the good shape especially Brest that last season they have to fight to avoiding relegation zone and now Brest performance were very impressive even Brest can able to occupy first place last week and their opponent Nice also in the positive conditions because so far Nice is being an the team who still unbeatable along with Rennes until week 6 and this match actually is hard to predicted because both teams has equal conditions

I think Nice has good chances to collect 3 points from this match because lately Nice performance was very impressive because in the last 2 matches Nice has successfully to beat 2 strong teams Monaco and PSG besides that during playing at home Nice always to gets the positive results from Brest even since 2021 Nice was unbeatable from Brest at home and for betting option Nice win has odds @1.76 and this is good odds to bet i think

It's a shame that this super tight match ended with a goalless score and meant that both teams had to suffer a draw. Nice should be able to score a goal in this match but they seem to be having difficulty winning and for Brest, even though they are also targeting the same 3 points, it looks like they are aiming for a draw. Even so, Nice still has a pretty good record by being undefeated until week 7 and I think they will soon get up to catch up on the points they are behind next week because seeing several teams with such a narrow difference in points proves that the top spot can still be contested by anyone.

My guess if there would be more than 80% bettors were picking PSG and they feel so disppointed with the result. It's out of my mind to see how PSG was unable to winning against clermoont.
It's really unimaginable for me to see the result. I was seeing PSG was fully owning clermoont and it has made so many chances but that's really disappointed result from PSG for sure.

I don't even know what to describe regarding the performance from PSG but this is awful performance from PSG. It's terrible to watch one billion team was getting draw against the relegation team in league 1.
I can't even accept it. It's buried my bet. I was so mad when i watched it. My mind can't even accept how PSG was unable in scoring even a single goal.

The result of Paris Saint Germaine's game yesterday against Clermont surely was the reason millions of people lost their bets. It would have been better if it was a scored draw because no one ever predicted PSG not to score a goal against an average Clermont.
PSG's visit to Newcastle in the UEFA Champions League is surely gonna have a different result because the manager Luis Enrique would surely want to make up for the poor result of yesterday while Newcastle the home team would as well want to win the game. So I think three or more goals are gonna be scored in that game.

PSG is only 2 points behind Monaco at the top of the points table.  It's not a big gap. But the problem is that there are four other teams above psg in the points table . This is why it is now more difficult for psg to occupy the top spot in the table.  psg's attack is not strong . Dembele, Ramos and Asensio have not played well consistently. Only Mbappe could consistently perform well, but now Mbappe's performance is also quite erratic. However  I am not satisfied with Ligue 1 and PSG's performance. However, PSG played very well in the first match of the Champions League. It is expected that the team will be able to perform well against Newcastle.

Clermoont forced PSG to gets draw and i saw that how clermoont was consistently to defense from any attacks were coming from PSG. Clermoont was doing it so well.
This club needs to be appreciated at this moment. Im feeling so sorry for anyone who was picking PSG in the previous match. The draw was not a happy ending for all of them.

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.

It would be very funny if PSG sold Mbappe at a cheap price, Mbappe's previous value was more than 200 million how could he be left at a cheap price now? besides that do you think with Mbappe's contract extension by PSG they will not benefit? don't be too naive in this case because even if Mbappe's goal is to leave but with the previous contract extension it indicates that PSG does not want to lose their money. Even if in the end PSG will also not be too long in the fry from the price issue but still he will be one of the most expensive transfers in the end.

Even right now nothing is clear about Kylian Mbappé contract with PSG, but one thing is sure his tenure is going to end in 2024 with this trigger is only in hands of Mbappé that can he want to extend his contract or not with PSG can't do anything which is really miserable right now but things will be clear in near future because 31 July 2024 is last date, so hopefully things will be cleared by both parties but most chances we will have new destination for the star player with where he is going it is not clear Real Madrid or Liverpool both are strong candidates for him, but financially Liverpool is surely much better because they are also ready for this all.

If we have him as free agent then surely things will be interesting because Real Madrid wants him as free agent but again if we have something special then surely most chances Liverpool is going to spend huge amount for him.

I do not think Real Madrid is going to get him as a free agent. Real Madrid might be able to get him for something around 150 million. But for that PSG will have to be willing to let him go for that price. As far as I know PSG is not interested in letting him go at all.  Obviously everything is still uncertain about the future of Mbappé. It is not going to be wise for any club to keep waiting for him to make a move.  Because I believe if PSG gives him enough money, he is going to stay there. After all that is what has been happening so far.

I am not going to trust that Mbappé is definitely going to move away from PSG after this season. He loves money and PSG knows how to spend money.

Could PSG be more demoralised? Its unbelievable; 10 shots on goal and no change on the scoreboard! They seem to have forgotten how to turn opportunities into goals. The Clermont custodian deflected every PSG shot, deserving praise. I understand the desire for a small PSG win. PSG missed a chance to equalise Monaco. Their future games worry me. Can they restore their dominance with this dismal finish? Sad to see such talent wasted. Its like a lion missing a limping deer

If we are talking about the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona (in the best years), then every point is very important - you can fall behind by one point and if all the head-to-head matches have already been played, you won’t even have a chance to catch up again. But if we are talking about PSG and Ligue 1, then PSG can give a 10-point head start at the start of the season and not worry - there is not a single strong competitor that would dominate the others and could maintain this lead.
PSG have a winning percentage of less than 50 and are only 2 points from first place. Ligue 1 is a joke.

[Jody.Drummer]

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.

Considering the rich and very quality players that Paris Saint Germain added to their squad in the summer transfer window, I think it very poor to see them struggling to score against a team like Clermont.
Luis Enrique needs to do better for his new club by finding the best playing pattern that'll help bring out the best from his boys or risk losing his job before the end of the season.

They missed the chance to get full points in this match. They were not unable to create opportunities, but none of the opportunities they created ended in a goal. it is unfortunate that they have to lose points again with a fairly weak opponent.
I don't understand this club, with their financial strength they still can't show anything extraordinary, instead they get a lot of problems that take turns, whether it's between coaches and players, players and players or even with their own supporters.

Thanks to them by not being able to dominate this year French Ligue 1 this league is becoming ever more interesting.There are quite some teams fighting for the title during this year and I know for sure with the performances of Paris this will continue to stay the same,sure Paris sometime can fire up a good game like the one against Lyon but they are not being at all consistent and this means that most likely we will continue to see a more beautiful league this year compared to the recent ones.

If we add that Paris will also fight in the Champions League chances are even higher for them not to be able to win this year title here in France.I would bet on Monaco to win the league as I am sure the odds would be really high for them this year.
