French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Weawant]

It is very natural for a big team like PSG who has spent a lot of money to be so ambitious to win the UCL title and maybe they will continue to do so until that title can be achieved. This mentality problem will only come if the PSG coach is a person who has high integrity in football and that must also be accompanied by an attitude of players who are willing to fight together and not just think about the good times at PSG. However, not only that, PSG's management must also be filled with people who are competent in their fields and if so far they still cannot overhaul their management, of course winning the UCL will also be difficult. They have to be consistent and it is not an easy thing, especially if you look at PSG, this is a new big team on the European stage, so they will still need a long time.

However, I think some of the steps taken by PSG were wrong, last season they spent a lot of money buying several star players and targeting to win the UCL, but in fact they couldn't do much in the European competition.
And this season PSG is experiencing many problems, especially the drama of Mbappe not wanting to extend his contract anymore and since Luis Enrique took charge of the PSG team it has not made the team's performance better, quite the opposite.

If they want to become a strong team and be able to win the UCL, then PSG must create a strong team framework, like Pep Guardiola did against Manchester City and they must also realize that money can never buy a title.

Mbappe is not willing to extend his contract because obviously he is not getting what he really wants to get from the team, they are not giving him the platform he desires to win more tittle to his career in his young age, now that ha still gat the capacity to perform as a young star, he needs where he will get the team support he desire and achieve more trophies and title for himself

Spending good money to get quality player to enable them win league title wasn't a bad move and couldn't be seen as one aswell but using the players appropriately with good tactics that will help them get things right is what they probably need at the moment, Luis Enrique needs improve more on his tactics and how he position the players so that he will start getting results. The recants slow down in PSG has graduated into great concerns and if Luis doesn't do anything about it sooner he may have his job on the line.

Next weekend Marseille has gets strong opponent Nice and we all know Nice this season has been so impressive and they can occupy second position which is never happend before and this match also as the real test for Marseille consistency and just like i said before Nice has strong defense so this is good challenge for Marseille whether they can able to stole points from Nice or not Marseille will tasted 2nd loses under Gattuso and for betting option this time Nice is the favourite with odds @2.37

Yes, I agree with you that Nice is stronger than Marseille currently, and the way I also view the matter is that Nice is the favorite team to win. I expect Marseille to give Nice a tough time because they are not also that so weak team because if they so weak the team should have not have the opportunity to occupying six position in league 1 table.But I gave nice my favorite team that will win the game  because they are playing at home and they also have a very strong defense, and as you said, and again, if anyone has watched nice player ways of playing football on the field, you will see that they play with more aggression compared to Marseille's ways of playing.

No matter the weak display of PSG they are still the favorite to win the Ligue 1 title. Monaco and Nice are inconsistent to be projected as potential winners. The season is still fresh to decide who will emerge the champions but it will be good to have another winner after many years of PSG's dominance.

PSG may not be strong right now, but when it reaches certain points, it becomes very serious, and the teams that may have the chance to be at the top of the table will later start performing poorly because some of their players become so weak in the middle or end of the season that they need to continue strong and because they don't have quality players for replacement, their performance continues to decrease. This kind of incident has happened before, both here and in other leagues.so with this reason I also agree that weak performances of psg currently doesn't mean they are not the favorite team to win the league.

Gattuso didn't stay with teams for long when appointed as a coach. This could suggest that he might not have the qualities required to be a successful coach. The teams he managed previously seemed disorganized. However, at Marseille, things seem to be going better. Coaching Olympique Marseille is a challenging task, but Gattuso seems determined to become a promising coach there. The upcoming match against Nice is anticipated to be challenging for both teams, and Nice occupy second standing in the league doesn't guarantee an easy victory.

Gattuso's goal in training the team hard is to improve the team's poor mentality, this was also done by Gattuso when he previously coached Valencia. Actually, this cannot be proven yet, not a single club is willing to be patient. So Gattuso's quality has not been fully proven.

Hopefully at Marseille he will get the support he deserves, and it is true that against Nice like this it will be a challenge for Gattuso to prove that he really has the capacity to be a coach. The victory against Nice is also necessary to increase the team's self-confidence to update the standings where currently Marseille itself is in sixth place with twelve points.

The season is still fresh to decide who will emerge the champions but it will be good to have another winner after many years of PSG's dominance.

Monaco are better than Nice in terms of squad quality. But there is a very big possibility that Paris Saint-Germain FC will come back to dominate the league again. But Nice coach Francesco Farioli is a very good coach. He can put a great stamp on the French league this season. He has done great things in Turkey. I expect him to achieve similar success in France. Nice will play an important league match against Marseille next week. I think they will have an important test in that match. If they win that game, I think they will be able to push for the league title until the end of the season. But to be honest, I don't think they have a good enough squad to do that.

I think, even though Monaco and Nice are currently in positions 1 and 2 in the Ligue 1 standings, but it still looks like Monaco and Nice cannot be said to be potential winners this season. Because after all, their points gap with PSG in the current Ligue 1 standings is not far, or does not have a wide gap. Therefore, basically PSG still has a chance to improve and overtake Monaco and Nice. Because basically PSG has champion quality, so with a close points gap like this it certainly doesn't make PSG lose its chance of winning the Ligue 1 trophy this season.

Now, PSG is dominated by newcomers, especially regarding the starting eleven that Enrique implemented. Unfortunately what he planned and implemented did not go smoothly, especially regarding the center forward they have. These two players, need time to reach their level of play. In the end, Enreque couldn't help but experiment with the players available and at the same time with the systems and patterns he implemented. Well, it would be very natural if it took time to achieve what Enrique wanted. Gradually, PSG will find their playing rhythm. After all, this competition still has a lot of matches to play. For the Champions League, don't expect PSG to be able to go far. In fact, his status as qualifying for the group phase is still in question.

Actually, I really understand the situation that Enrique is currently experiencing because he is under pressure from the PSG owner to immediately improve PSG's performance to win the title in the Champions League and League 1, whereas currently only Kylian Mbappe is still very reliable but it is very difficult to combine Enrique's strategy with Mbappe and of course I also still appreciate the coach's efforts because it is not easy to bring PSG to a higher level, whereas in the past Galtier, who had 3 star players, also failed to bring PSG to a higher level.
For now, it seems that Enrique needs to better understand what makes it difficult for the club to reach competitions other than League 1 and related to the Champions League, indeed PSG condition is also very difficult to maintain because their performance is a little bad in contrast to last season.

Mbappe form is encouraging for any coach including Enrique.With what he showed in the game against Netherlands I have no doubts that in the long run he will contribute a lot to PSG during this season,at least until end of January when he has a chance to move to Real Madrid who is suffering a missing player like him.

Enrique should capitalize from his form and he should find the perfect balance of the team,he should orchestrate the team that the other players should be in his service,Mbappe should be in attack and the team should be defending in block to get the good results needed to win the Ligue 1.

Perhaps at this point, we have a slight difference in viewpoint regarding PSG. according to my understanding and point of view, now PSG is no longer continuing the mega project with big star players like when it was filled by MNM. IMO, PSG's current philosophy has changed, although not completely. IMO, this time the PSG president is not targeting to win the Champions League trophy. There are several factors that I have taken into consideration in my personal analysis, but it is clear that what I am about to say does not justify the truth.
We can see that currently PSG is changing its philosophy and prioritizing young players who will make good progress in the future. and maybe that's why Enrique is willing to become the new coach of the French League giants. If the Club's target is the Champions League, as an experienced coach Enrique is very aware of the available players and only relies on Mbappe as his only pillar. he will find it difficult to make it happen, moreover, most of the players available are not players of his personal choice. I see it from another point of view, this time PSG is trying to build a foundation first like City did at first. Because of that, Enrique is motivated to build PSG in his style into a stronger team.

Just imagine, just relying on Gancalo Ramos, Kolo Muani, as well as several less well-known players, how big a chance PSG has as a candidate to win the Champions League. What is worth noting and remembering is that the two current PSG strikers are not players who are ready to be used as goal scoring machines. they will need time, at least to reach their level of play. So, their current goal is more at the stage of establishing PSG for the next few years. It seems like they are trying to follow in the footsteps of Manchester City. Unfortunately, clubs always buy players without involving the coach beforehand. Ideally, PSG should replace staff such as sports directors or technical directors with people who are experts in their fields. thus, the trainer's task is a little lighter. as I said in the previous post, gradually PSG will find its rhythm and return to being at the top of the standings. btw, what I said is completely personal assumption.

[rendravolt]

Maybe it's too early to draw conclusions? Bayern is also not in first place in the Bundesliga and even City is not in first place in the Premier League. All three clubs are very close to the top and remain the bookmakers' favorites, so it is too early to talk about serious problems.
By the way, as I said, Mbappe scored two goals yesterday, showing that he is in excellent shape and his decline in performance at the club level is temporary.

Indeed, it's still too early. PSG can still show their best to their fans later, right now also they gap only 2 points different with Monaco. So PSG can still race to win the title, and yes you're right PSG is still the favorite team so it's possible they can still secure the title. Mbappe yesterday became hero on French team with 2 goals, Mbappe performance in scoring is actually still great, although Mbappe performance with PSG this season is not that impressive but yes is temporary.

The current odds for the Ligue 1 title are as follows:

Paris Saint Germain 1.20

As Monaco Fc 11.00

Olympique Marseille 15.00

Everything is clear here and, in my opinion, even 1.20 is a favorable coefficient (at least it looks more reliable and more profitable than depositing in a bank hahaha). I'm talking about PSG's prospects in the Champions League - if they are lucky with their opponents, they can climb very high (like Inter last year or any other team from the "easy" part of the playoffs).

Last season I bet on Marseille to win Ligue 1 because they were able to maintain consistency for weeks until they had a significant distance from PSG. I also thought that maybe last season PSG's dominance would end with Marseille winning, but it seems my prediction was wrong and Marseille were deadlocked in maintaining their victory and in the end PSG got rid of them again. Betting on PSG is the right choice as Ligue 1 champions every season and even though they are currently quite struggling there are times when they can make a miracle return to the top.

We are still at the beginning of the season and although PSG is further behind than its rivals, the difference in points is not much. Of course, they are not playing as well as if they were having an undefeated season and they lost a lot of points, but we cannot say that their opponents played great either. I am sure we will watch a competitive league this year, we started as if the champion might not be determined until the end of the season

So far for the League PSG is still quite competitive. The difference in points is not much and the opportunity for the champion is still wide open. But for European competitions it seems that they will only reach the group stage. In addition, the arrival of new coach Luis Enrique seems to be making a big change. Verrati, who has been 11 years old, seems to be leaving because it is not in Enrique's plans. It seems that hoping PSG sooner to dominate the league requires a process.

This season, Ligue 1 is interesting. It is more competitive, because the point gap among the teams is quite small. And PSG seems not too strong anymore, it is struggling in the top 3. Luis Enrique won't be easy to compete for the title, PSG is no longer in their best shape. Meanwhile other top teams in Ligue 1 is stronger to join the race of the champion.

Verratti already left PSG to Al Arabi. Abdou Diallo also joined Al Arabi. They move to the same team.
We can understand that they leave PSG because Luis Enrique didn't want them in PSG squad. I'm not surprised Verratti left PSG, but I'm confused why he didn't join a big team.

PSG started this season not very well in Ligue 1, even the teams at the bottom of the standings were able to give them difficulties this season. Like when PSG played against Clermont where the match ended in a draw. Of course PSG's performance was not good enough at the start of this season so it looks like this season's competition is more competitive compared to last season. However, looking at PSG's performance in the previous match, of course they have returned to winning ways so they just need to maintain their consistency so they don't lose any more points.

Monaco is also not very strong, their game is difficult to predict because their performance is often unstable when facing low-ranked teams. With points that are quite close to each other, it could be that every week the teams will swap places on the standings board. PSG will continue to try to defend their title this season and they will take advantage of the upcoming matches well enough to get 3 points and return to being leaders of the standings.

The issue with Mbappe has long been closed, he is playing, performing for the club as planned and the conflict with the management has long been resolved. At the moment, the club management themselves said that now they will accept any decision of the player, even despite the fact that it is clear to everyone what this decision will be and where he will go, so you do not need to bring past problems to the current ones.

It is true that the points difference is not much and the league competition has not gone so far. So PSG is still in the race 100%. I think the complaints and concern is about two things;

• PSG doesn't have a history of having a poor start of the season, so it is just strange to see it happening now.
• The recent misunderstanding between PSG and their star player Mbappe, compared to the exit of Messi and Neymar.

Many things have happened in PSG and they might likely not be able to maintain their leadership in the ligue 1.

I dare to say that 90% of the players who go to play in Saudi Arabia go because of money, it is not an easy decision to leave Europe to go and play in Saudi Arabia, which is a country where the laws are very harsh and based on religion, but the money that the Arabs are giving reaches the level of being very high to the point that when he plays he thinks that in 3 years in Saudi Arabia with that salary it would be the same as what he would have to earn in 10 years being in Europe and at his age, the best decision would be to go and play in Saudi Arabia and guarantee retirement

about PSG, I had already commented on what I'm going to comment on now, PSG already had good players in the squad, they had Di Maria, Messi and Neymar and other good players but PSG's management for not being serious and not presenting serious goals and signing A good coach with a clear objective of winning the European Champions League, every time they win Ligue 1 they sell their good players, indicating that the best they expect is to just win Ligue 1. So it's difficult for a team in these conditions to be able to win big things like the European Champions League and the players will also move to where they have better financial conditions or can win big things.

That's why in my opinion mbappe will want to leave the team when his contract ends, it doesn't make any sense for him to continue if he has the ambition of winning big individual prizes, I believe that at real madrid or manchester city if mbappe were to play in one of those teams he would win the European champions league. In short, I think that Verratti and everyone who is leaving PSG made a good choice

Mbappe itself has been also issuing a statement regarding his future said that if he will be trying to do his best for probably the last UCL with PSG this season, perhaps mbappe may able to stay but the chance is pretty small at this moment compared with leaving from the club. Mbappe has stated that if he will not stay even longer in PSG if the club will be failed to get UCL this season. It's time for mbappe to decide his future.

He deserves to be in a better club that can give him more guarantees to win UCL rather than stay in PSG even longer that will give him nothing about that. Im thinking about mbappe could complete real madrid's squad once he will able go there.
Mbappe is really needed by real madrid this time to fill ST position.

Marseille has not shown consistent performance so far. And I think people will agree with me that Gattuso has brought similar type of results before as well. He was also not bringing in consistent results even with his previous teams. But maybe things will change with time. I am not sure about that to be honest. so far the results that he has brought are definitely not something expect him to bring consistent results.

A victory in the next match against Nice is probably going to be hard for them. But it is achievable. Let’s see what happens. But there is a big chance that this match is going to end in a draw.

Mbappe is one of the most skilled players at the club so the club will never want to clash with him. What happened when the transfer window opened I think the management forgot about these things, they are only planning for the games ahead and planning to use Mbappe properly as long as he is at the club. Mbappe has contributed to every match PSG has won in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, so there is no doubt that he is the team's most important player. Despite the extension of Mbappe's contract with the club, there are rumors that Mbappe may leave PSG next season.

Luis Enrique won't be easy to compete for the title, PSG is no longer in their best shape. Meanwhile other top teams in Ligue 1 is stronger to join the race of the champion.

Verratti already left PSG to Al Arabi. Abdou Diallo also joined Al Arabi. They move to the same team.
We can understand that they leave PSG because Luis Enrique didn't want them in PSG squad. I'm not surprised Verratti left PSG, but I'm confused why he didn't join a big team.

PSG started the season with unsatisfactory results but they slowly recovered to get back on the right track, PSG's dominance is still quite strong in Ligue 1 even though they are currently in third place in the standings. Most recently they also suffered a quite embarrassing defeat to Newcastle in the Champions League and Mbappe couldn't do anything in that match. In fact, if you look at the quality of PSG players, they are far superior because they have experience playing in the Champions League. But Eddie Howe's team was able to send PSG home with a fairly painful defeat where they lost 4-1.

Maybe it was because Verratti didn't get suitable offers from big teams so he decided to go to that league. Not being named on the list of players needed by Luis Enrique made him decide to leave and in my opinion that was the right decision compared to staying at PSG but not getting playing minutes.

From the start, perhaps I was one of the many people who regretted Marseille's decision to appoint Gennaro Gatuso as their new coach because we all know that the results they obtained were not always consistent and because of that he was often fired by his previous team. This will be a challenge in itself for Marseille and I also doubt that Gennaro Gatuso can win against Nice. We know that Nice recently surprised people, especially their victory over PSG. I agree that the result could be a draw but the worst possibility is that Marseille will lose when they play away to Nice.

This season, Ligue 1 is interesting. It is more competitive, because the point gap among the teams is quite small. And PSG seems not too strong anymore, it is struggling in the top 3. Luis Enrique won't be easy to compete for the title, PSG is no longer in their best shape. Meanwhile other top teams in Ligue 1 is stronger to join the race of the champion.

Verratti already left PSG to Al Arabi. Abdou Diallo also joined Al Arabi. They move to the same team.
We can understand that they leave PSG because Luis Enrique didn't want them in PSG squad. I'm not surprised Verratti left PSG, but I'm confused why he didn't join a big team.

PSG started the season with unsatisfactory results but they slowly recovered to get back on the right track, PSG's dominance is still quite strong in Ligue 1 even though they are currently in third place in the standings. Most recently they also suffered a quite embarrassing defeat to Newcastle in the Champions League and Mbappe couldn't do anything in that match. In fact, if you look at the quality of PSG players, they are far superior because they have experience playing in the Champions League. But Eddie Howe's team was able to send PSG home with a fairly painful defeat where they lost 4-1.

Maybe it was because Verratti didn't get suitable offers from big teams so he decided to go to that league. Not being named on the list of players needed by Luis Enrique made him decide to leave and in my opinion that was the right decision compared to staying at PSG but not getting playing minutes.

In Ligue 1 PSG is still safe, they will continue to dominate because in Ligue 1 it is not as competitive as other leagues. Even though there is still Mbappe, I think the quality of PSG's games has decreased. several players left the team without good anticipation from the club. and if Mbappe leaves the team next year and PSG has not found a replacement, it is possible that they will also have difficulties in Ligue 1. Moreover, they have to compete with strong teams in the Champions League.
However, there is confidence that PSG will make crazy player purchases in the transfer market. they have money, and they don't want to get fan pressure.
