French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Litzki1990]

In this case Enrique has to prioritise because if he continues to try, it will be a gamble considering his position could be at stake in this case.
He has to realise that PSG is under scrutiny and performing well is the right thing to do so that he doesn't lose the trust of the fans and the club management.

Luis Enrique has to improve the performance of his players and figure out the best way to get 3 points most of the time.
The way PSG is doing is unacceptable for long term since they risk to get out of Champions League and even risk Ligue 1.

Btw there is currently news that Marseille have been acquired by investors from the middle east, I have not seen any further news on this, but if this is true then this will be a problem for PSG.

There is news about a group associated with Saudi Arabia trying to buy Marseille in Ligue 1 and Valencia in La Liga. I assume they will take some times before finishing their deals and it will not have big impact this season.

Enrique has an old vision of football. He used old strategy. Winning the game in league 1 didn't even impress me with the performance from PSG. In fact, PSG is not in save position right now caused by the club can also go out from UCL anytime.
The next match will be easy match for PSG. Enrique needs to implement the modern football strategy instead of focusing into the ball possession which was not really helpful for PSG once it was facing strong club in UCL.
Enrique needs to learn from the last match against newcastle about how useless its old vision is. The trend of tiki taka already gone. Enrique needs to aware of it. The modern football was putting more focus into the attacking lines.

As times change, a manager has to change the strategy of the game as well. In every match you have to enter the field with a new strategy so that the manager of the opposite team does not catch their own strategy. If every match is played with the same strategy, then it will not be difficult to plan the opposite team, as a result of which it is not possible for the opposite team to do better in that match against PSG. 

At one time it was a very easy task for PSG to win Ligue 1 but this simple task has become a very difficult task for them this season. At the end of the season, there are doubts whether this team will be able to stay in the top 5 positions in Ligue 1. Other teams in League One are performing well, so if they want to compete with them, they must change their plans and tactics and perform well on the field, only then PSG can be among the top five in this league.

[Silence Scream]

PSG's job looks really difficult this season surely. That embarrassing loss against Newcastle in the Champions League made me think that it will be even more challenging for PSG to qualify for last 16 stage. Milan should be even tougher to defeat for PSG on paper. Seeing PSG in the Europa League would be devastating for the fans.

I even doubt their chance to win the Ligue 1 title for now. Because they aren't so different here either. They play their league matches really inconsistently. They win 4-0 against Marseille but can't even score against Clermont for example. Monaco and Nice are taking advantage of the situation for now. Maybe we can see a new champion this season.

They also had hard days before and in the last season when PSG had many superstar players, not when PSG lost players and they couldn't buy alternative players to fill the place of Messi and Neymar in their team, obviously, we are going to see worse performances from PSG and sometimes they can be even embarrassing because of the results they get and it seems even Enrique couldn't really help PSG to get in the good form because so far they had poor performance even in the French League.
  

PSG's surprise performances this year are not acceptable. I mean, I can actually accept it considering those who left the team, but if you are such a big team, then you have to compensate for those deficiencies with new players. It seems like Dembele still hasn't been able to fix that deficiency. The championship in League 1 was certain, but that is not certain anymore.

[bering]

How do you see Monaco's journey so far? Wouldn't it be quite surprising if they were able to occupy the top of the standings in week 8. Moreover, since the start of the season they have only experienced 1 defeat and at that time the team that managed to beat them was Nice, who are currently just below Monaco. Could Monaco be PSG's toughest competitor this season? considering that it is no longer possible for Lens to compete with PSG again like last season. However, we know that PSG is currently trying to take their place from Monaco and therefore they cannot waste any match and must be more consistent to win.

Monaco performance was quite impressive this season and at least until week 8 Monaco can occupy first place but their position is far from secure because distance points between them with Nice is only 1 point so if they lose for next match i think other team can overtake their current position and indeed if we compared to their performance to last season Monaco much better this season seems Monaco new manager Adi Hütter has bringing positive impact to this team

Monaco has successfully to improved their weaknesses and some of new players just like Folarin Balogun and Denis Zakaria can adapt quickly with the team besides that do not forget the performance of Minamino under new manager also has been increases rapidly so in my opinion these one of causes why Monaco can able to performing well and occupy first place on standings league but Monaco has the biggest weaknesses that they have a problem with their consistency because i still remember last season they almost finish at european zone but Monaco was unable to performing well and lose several times which makes their position was overtaked by Lille at the end of season and this became an Adi Hütter jobs to make Monaco more consistent this season

at the moment, its not just PSG, I think even all the teams in League 1 are not yet stable and in terms of consistency they are very low, such as PSG, Lens and Marseille have not provided consistent or unstable performances. so I am not too worried about this because the match is still very long and there are still lots of opportunities for the top teams to improve the quality their performance and for now I think that Dembele still looks good when playing for PSG, its just that his performance looks less than optimal and on the one hand not only Dembele, Mbappe, the teams mainstay player, has also been performing less than perfect lately.

Their defeat doesn't have much impact on the current probabilities as they remain the favorites to qualify, it's just that they have to be extra in the next few matches and don't let them back down. This is only 2 matches and there are still 4 matches left for each club including PSG. In terms of position, they are still perched in 2nd place because it is fortunate that Milan and Dortmund played a draw.
They are still the strongest candidate to qualify for the group phase, it's just that their efforts must now be greater if they really want to qualify comfortably, especially with the acquisition of points that are still very close so that once they lose again then this becomes bad.

I'm not sure why people are so quick to jump to conclusions about PSG basically still having a great chance of making it to the round of 16. It is true that they were beaten by Newcastle, but that was only the second game. I believe PSG can turn things around and increase its chances of qualifying by winning another match. 1 defeat does not mean they will completely fail, unless PSG really loses 4/6 matches in the group stage.

Luis Enrique should already know what needs to be improved in PSG's game in the next match. The team has spent a lot of money to build the squad since Neymar and Messi left for MLS and the Saudi Pro League, but still Luis Enrique needs time to get the best form from his current team. PSG are still in with a chance, so I haven't come to any conclusions about them despite everyone else doing so.

The match has just entered its eighth week and there is still a long way to go for every team in Ligue 1 so there will be other surprises that occur when the match enters the halfway point of the season. Luis Enrique must make the most of the games ahead and a heavy defeat to Newcastle in the Champions League will have a negative impact on them progressing to the next phase. If the coach does not respond quickly it can make the players mentally unstable and will affect the next match in the Champions League. Luckily, Luis Enrique tried to respond quickly and was able to maximize the match with a big win at home to Rennes.

PSG's opportunity to win Ligue 1 is still quite open and they are only two points behind their challengers in first and second place. Next week PSG will face Strasbourg at home and this match is an opportunity for them to get full points because Strasbourg is not a tough opponent for them so it will be easy for them to get full points.

There's nothing special from monaco. The competition in league 1 is quite good at this moment caused by some clubs were competing against each other. I think that monaco will not become the only toughest competitor for PSG this season. There are some clubs like brest and nice which were also performing so well till this time. The competition for PSG looked like even harder than before. I hope more teams will come to compete for the title race. The competition will be very attractive once there are many clubs competed each other to win the title this season.
It will also prevent PSG to win the league 1 easily like previous seasons. In fact, PSG is quite struggling to win the game without some players like messi.
The new players are still showing poor performance. Dembele may also leave again to the another club soon as well as mbappe. PSG needs to prepare everything before some important players leave from the club.
The available players are not good enough to replace them all.

PSG's decline has indeed made the Ligue 1 competition even fiercer and I think that is quite a positive thing for many teams to be more enthusiastic in the competition for the title and make this competition even fiercer.
Despite the problems that PSG is currently experiencing, I am very happy about this because it allows other Ligue 1 teams to develop further.
And for Monaco, I think they are still the same as last season, but because of PSG's decline, they are now at the top of the standings.

Psg are in their bad times lately and other teams are capitalizing on their poor form and are snatching the 3 points away from them, well I still think there's hope for them this season to defend their title and sooner or later they'll bounce back and begin to be consistent in winning games moreover they're still very strong league contenders even though they're not currently at the top of standings as expected.

 Well you're right because smaller clubs are now begin to perform better and re in a better position on the standings than PSG it would very interesting to see another team go far in the league and probably win I'm place of PSG, Monaco seem like a team that could do that this season but I doubt if they'll survive till the end of this season.

The Ligue 1 competition is exciting as PSG experiences a setback in its performance, other clubs have the opportunity to compete at the top of the standings, even though PSG will lose out again. I still feel that PSG under Luis Enrique leadership can retain the Ligue 1 trophy at the end of the season, even though they have to try harder than usual because other Ligue 1 clubs are experiencing an increase in performance.

There are still many matches ahead that will be very decisive, Monaco and Nice will certainly also experience ups and downs in performance, so PSG also still has a big chance of taking over the top of the standings. Because the difference of two points is not big, for now Enrique just needs to improve his adaptation so that it goes according to expectations.

Competition in the league always leads to the development of teams, Monaco could be a good competitor for PSG, but they have a different policy, they often sell talented players to other teams and it takes them some time to recover from this. PSG can win Ligue 1 because their results are the most consistent of all the teams in the championship. At the end of the last championship they competed with Lens, and now Lens is at the bottom of the standings. It is also difficult to say how stable Monaco and Nice can be, can they be competitors for PSG throughout the season?

Pretty Impressive innit? Since they won't be playing Champions League football nor Europa League not even Conference League Competition they should go all out on Metz when they meet them. Luck that they'll be supported by the home fans to make sure getting the win at home is a must.

They did not go bad against Reims, scoring three goals against a defense that looked challengingly. Balogun former player of Reims scored and same to Ben Yedder, I got to see the goals they scored but they conceded a penalty. There was some reckless tackle from a defender Chrislain Matsima which lead to that penalty.

Both Paris Saint Germans and Bayern Munich have dominated them league for so long, I want to see another club beating and competing with em.

Monaco and Nice are in their best form this seasons in League 1 and are quite optimistic about fighting for the title by taking advantage of PSG less stable opportunities.

Monaco and Nice will be PSG tough competitors this season because Monaco and Nice performance has also improved rapidly. The difference of 2 point is only small, but if PSG is unable to stabilize the condition of its club and improve the performance of its players, I thinks PSG must be willing to give up the League 1 title for other club that are more consistent.

The competition in League 1 look interesting seeing as Monaco and Nice are trying hard to compete for the title we don't know to what extent Monaco and Nice will be able to survive until the end of the season because this season is still long. The opportunity to get the title is still tied to PSG who dominates the championship in the league 1.

It is also difficult to say how stable Monaco and Nice can be, can they be competitors for PSG throughout the season?

I agree with you, here inconsistency is still the main enemy for some clubs, so they struggle to compete strictly until the season is really over. Paris Saint Germain can probably be said to be one of the clubs that has a good level of consistency compared to other clubs. What they have achieved is inseparable from their financial capabilities and the players they have, yes maybe we all agree that Paris Saint Germain is a club that has the strongest squad compared to other clubs in Ligue 1.
We can see Lens, yes you said something right, last season they were strong, but this season the opposite is what they showed.

[X-ray]

PSG's job looks really difficult this season surely. That embarrassing loss against Newcastle in the Champions League made me think that it will be even more challenging for PSG to qualify for last 16 stage. Milan should be even tougher to defeat for PSG on paper. Seeing PSG in the Europa League would be devastating for the fans.

I even doubt their chance to win the Ligue 1 title for now. Because they aren't so different here either. They play their league matches really inconsistently. They win 4-0 against Marseille but can't even score against Clermont for example. Monaco and Nice are taking advantage of the situation for now. Maybe we can see a new champion this season.

PSG's surprise performances this year are not acceptable. I mean, I can actually accept it considering those who left the team, but if you are such a big team, then you have to compensate for those deficiencies with new players. It seems like Dembele still hasn't been able to fix that deficiency. The championship in League 1 was certain, but that is not certain anymore.

I don't even see it as a surprise performance. How can the horrible performance from PSG can be called as a surprise performance? PSG is even declining compared with last season. I don't wanna underestimate PSG but im talking about the reality if PSG was always too inconsistent in any game.
There have been also many rumors about dembele was not feeling confidence anymore in the club. He may leave from PSG soon along with mbappe caused by they are willing to join in new clubs.
Im willing to see those guys will able to get better clubs than PSG even though that if dembele was a new player in PSG right now. It's time for mbappe to get a new achievement for that.

[topbitcoin]

Their defeat doesn't have much impact on the current probabilities as they remain the favorites to qualify, it's just that they have to be extra in the next few matches and don't let them back down. This is only 2 matches and there are still 4 matches left for each club including PSG. In terms of position, they are still perched in 2nd place because it is fortunate that Milan and Dortmund played a draw.
They are still the strongest candidate to qualify for the group phase, it's just that their efforts must now be greater if they really want to qualify comfortably, especially with the acquisition of points that are still very close so that once they lose again then this becomes bad.

PSG are still in with a chance, so I haven't come to any conclusions about them despite everyone else doing so.

There are still many people who are naive and think that one match can have a big influence on the possibility of PSG not qualifying even though as I said before 1 defeat even though it is detrimental but it is not a fatal thing because wins and losses in matches always happen and that also applies to PSG. Just because they lost this one time does not mean anything when PSG can return to playing well and get a victory in the remaining matches they will do.
We also have to realize that this inhabited club is indeed very strong so that the movement in terms of position will definitely be very close but for the probability of qualifying for the next phase of the PSG opportunity is still very large even though they are now ranked 2nd in the standings.

PSG's performance in the loss to Newcastle wasn't bad, but they just failed to capitalize on opportunities to score. Moreover, Newcastle had a good defense when PSG built attacks, so even though PSG had several opportunities, the defense was still able to handle them. Of course that has benefited Newcastle, but that doesn't mean PSG doesn't have a chance.

PSG and Newcastle adopted different strategies throughout the match. PSG played very offensively and Newcastle played very defensively, this benefited Newcastle in preventing PSG from scoring goals and they also benefited because PSG did not concentrate on defending. But I'm sure PSG won't make the same mistakes when they play at home for their second meeting with Newcastle, so I don't think the defeat will punish them for the rest of the season.

Monaco has successfully to improved their weaknesses and some of new players just like Folarin Balogun and Denis Zakaria can adapt quickly with the team besides that do not forget the performance of Minamino under new manager also has been increases rapidly so in my opinion these one of causes why Monaco can able to performing well and occupy first place on standings league but Monaco has the biggest weaknesses that they have a problem with their consistency because i still remember last season they almost finish at european zone but Monaco was unable to performing well and lose several times which makes their position was overtaked by Lille at the end of season and this became an Adi Hütter jobs to make Monaco more consistent this season

If I'm not mistaken Takumi Minamino is a former Liverpool player and I didn't expect that he is now at Monaco. His move to Monaco occurred last season and with his mature age and having previously helped Liverpool in the 20/21 season, his experience will certainly be very helpful for Monaco's midfield. If you look at his contribution so far from last season, the difference is quite big and Takumi Minamino looks like he will be an important player for Monaco over the next few seasons. For Folarin Balogun I think he is still not tuned in with Monaco because he often misses golden opportunities and for Denis Zakaria I think he is good enough so far.

Again, if you look at the difference, it is very narrow from Nice and the only thing Monaco can maintain is to continue winning the existing matches and hope that some of the teams below them slip up in the future. Now for any team it is very difficult to maintain its position and even PSG is actually having quite a difficult time this season even though they have a squad quality that is superior to other teams.

What is happening with PSG at the moment is normal with every big team that at a point in the season they will suffer some level of set back and most likely bounce back before the season comes to an end and PSG is most likely not an exception as there is still some time for them if they improve, they could still bounce back to the top of the table displacing Monaco and Nice.

Honestly seeing smaller clubs winning and climbing up the table so fast by each game ahs really brought home the fun and excitement in the league as if it has consistently revolve around the big boys it could possibly bore the audience at some point because we know what could possibly happen and we have nothing to keep in anticipation.

Monaco and Nice I must say are really bringing home the surprise and fun with this their new found form they have got but let's hope it last and they can sustain it probably till the season get to a end maybe a new one time winner wouldn't be bad for the records, but then I'm of more certainty the may mostly finish tops but not becoming the champions.
