French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Docnaster]

PSG didn't surprise me by winning only by a one-goal gap against Brest. I wasn't expecting them to have a comfortable game against a strong Brest. Because Brest started the season really solidly but for a couple of weeks their form has been on the decline. This was a big opportunity for PSG also to hit them hard.

However I didn't expect a big score because PSG are still an inconsistent team. It is quite difficult to predict them in the Ligue 1 as well. Mbappe played a huge role in this win of course. I don't know what they will do when he isn't able to play or if he leaves the team by the end of the season.

If Mbappe had not scored a goal in the last minute, they would have lost two points from this match. PSG is not a really stable team this year and it is not possible to say that they are successful. Of course, we do not expect them to play very comfortably against a team like Brest, but the fact that they conceded two goals is a bad thing for them. They need to continue without making mistakes to become champions and right now they are not good enough, they risk losing points every week

Since Paris Saint Germaine current manager Luis Enrique took over the managerial position at the club, the club is yet to find the perfect playing pattern that best suits them and that's why they some times relies on the brilliance of Kylian Mbappe to win matches.
PSG is a team that's made up of world class players in all the positions and when they finally find the best formation, winning matches in the French Ligue 1 wouldn't be a difficult one. I think it's down for the manager to maximize the potentials of the players in the squad to get his desired results.

I have to admit that Luis Enrique doesn't seem to have found the right formula to make PSG appear consistent this season. It is true that sometimes Mbappe is seen carrying this team alone, and we can certainly imagine what their fate will be if Mbappe leaves them next season. However, they are not completely bad and are currently almost able to overtake the top of the standings, so their chances of maintaining their dominance in Ligue 1 remain safe and under control.

The depth of the PSG squad is indeed very good, Enrique almost has two equally good teams, the main squad and the reserve players. This makes it easier to rotate players in each match, but sometimes they still have difficulty winning, and even experienced surprising defeats, such as in the UCL group phase against Newcastle.

For now, PSG continues to put pressure on Nice in the standings where currently the difference in points between the two is 1 point. Psg will take over the top of the standings next week and I am sure they will be able to do it. For PSG to win the Ligue 1 trophy, of course there will not be any big obstacles for them because slowly they are able to get rid of several teams that were previously above their ranking.

We have seen this scenario quite often in the recent seasons. PSG don't have a very easy title in the Ligue 1 and there is only a small point difference between them and their closest competitor in the standings. I think this scenario will repeat itself this season also. But maybe it would take PSG more time to take the lead and strengthen their place there.

Nice are the toughest opponent for them now surely. Monaco shouldn't also be underestimated just because they lost to Lille last week. I just hope to see some good competition in the Ligue 1 to attract the attention of more people to the league. However it might not still be enough to get enough attraction because there is a huge difference between the player qualities of PSG and the others.

Ligue 1 will face competition if the Public Investment Fund (PIF) realizes its intention to acquire Marseille, so that two giant clubs (PSG-Marseille) will take turns dominating the French League. On the other hand, this is just a rumor that has previously surfaced, so it is attractive for Zidane as a suitable coach if it really comes true. On the other hand, PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 is always threatened by other clubs almost every season, but in the end they also emerge as champions.

I think that even though PSG is currently in second place in the standings, they can easily overtake Nice because they are only one point behind. Overall, perhaps we will agree that PSG will not have any significant difficulties in retaining the trophy this season in domestic competition, and in fact they have the ambition to reach the UCL trophy which they have never managed to achieve in the club's history.

sorry to hear about the incident experienced by the Lyon squad, this is truly the stupidest thing a group of football fans have ever done, even though if the match between Marseille vs Lyon takes place, i'm sure Marseille will win the match, things like this actually make Ligue 1 less interesting to watch.

It's a shame that something like this happened again in League 1. We can only hope that something like this doesn't happen again and this will be the last time. And we hope that the French Football Association will make a rule that all team supporters will be prohibited from entering the stadium if they do something like this again. because this is very embarrassing for French footballers.

i was quite surprised to see that Brest was able to equalize 2-2 in the second half, but apparently everything ended differently, PSG finally won 3-2 through the last goal made by Mbappe, Mbappe succeeded in scoring 2 goals, good work Mbappe succeeded in making PSG successful continues to approach NICE which is currently in 1st place.

Brest appeared to make things very difficult for PSG and also ruined my betting stakes.
But overall PSG did their best even though they didn't get a clean sheet in this match, but this win was good for reducing points with NIce. PSG is always saved by Mbappe, but the combination of Mbappe and Lee Kang-in is PSG's future.

[execijutiere]

PSG defeated Brest away and continued to follow Nice. Although Brest played well in the match, they failed to defeat PSG. Brest, one of the teams that started the season well, has now suffered 2 defeats in a row.
Lille, on the other hand, showed their strength by defeating Monaco, one of the championship candidates this year, at home. Although Monaco played better and had more scoring chances in the match, they failed to score.

[tiCeR]

I failed to understand why PSG would be finding it difficult to win easily against Brest even with the kind of squad they have in their team, they scored two goals and already looked like the winners of the game but at some point they start having errors in their defence line which cause Brest to equalize the 2 goals they scored, they made it easy as well as difficult for themselves to win the game and if not for the late minute penatly goal by Mbappé they wouldn't had secured 3 points today.

 Well in my opinion i think playing both Bellingham and Mbappé in one team would work perfectly they're both good  finishers and would have their chances at a goal if you noticed against Barcelona Jude Bellingham didn't have to be in the 18yard box to score the 1st goal against the got a  chance outside the box to shoot a volley into the goal post he's a kind of player that could score from anywhere around the box when he gets chance to.

They haven't been playing in a convincing manner either, so they have this problem that they play like they have to in order to win the title and then more or less chill as nobody is really pushing them. Usually it gets worse for them when they are not in the Champions League anymore. That's why I believe that for their performance level throughout the season it will also be key to qualify for the next round in the Champions League. If they don't do that, I am sure they will crash again and then maybe another team like Nice or Monaco has a chance. But it should still not be underestimated as PSG will definitely be above 80 points and that is never easy to achieve for the other teams.

Mbappe has been saving PSG from getting draw. Mbappe was making two goals for PSG which was also really helpful for the club as well PSG needs to work even harder if the clubw ill be without him after winter. The rumor about mbappe to leaves from there become even stronger than before as there was not talk is happening between PSG and mbappe. I do believe that if PSG is trying so hard to find someone who will be capable enough in replacing mbappe. Mbappe is the only superstar remaining at PSG but this guy will be leaving from there soon.
We may also see less people pay attention to the league. The hype surrounding the parish clubs was on the rise because of the participation of some renowned superstars, but currently, we are left with only one superstar.

I hope that PSG will be able to come back later soon. Nice and monaco looked like strong clubs at this moment. They have been utilizing all aspects under their ownership to support those clubs, with the goal of making them the strongest club for the current season.
It's simply the best clubs for this time. Im feeling curious to see who's gonna be the name to replace mbappe.

It was more important for PSG to get full points in this match. Because PSG still can't hold the top spot in the table. Even after winning this match, PSG team is 1 point behind Nice. The performance of the Nice team is quite consistent. And so it will not be easy for PSG to occupy the top spot on the table. Nice and PSG's title battle is going to be very intense this season. At the same time, Monaco are now only 1 point behind PSG.

Lille, on the other hand, showed their strength by defeating Monaco, one of the championship candidates this year, at home. Although Monaco played better and had more scoring chances in the match, they failed to score.

Lille's performance in the last few matches has been very strong. They are unbeaten in their last four matches. But it was unexpected for me that Lille would win against Monaco. I considered the Monaco team as favourites. Monaco played well enough and scored a lot of tries. However, they could not break Lille's strong defence. Lille's performance was very composed. They got an excellent 2-0 win.

PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi will try his best to make good replacement for the Frenchman. Kylian Mbappe is the most valuable player in Paris Saint-Germain and there's absolutely no doubt about it. If he eventually exits Parc des Princes stadium next summer, that means alot of changes will be triggered, I mean poor structure in the team's performance and Les Parisiens chances of declining in game results will be more higher than their chance to succeed. However, we would wait for the possible outcome of PSG and watched how everything will play out.

To be honest, I bet on Marseille to win this match but what happened was, Marseille fans were really stupid . Because after all, the reality is that at this moment Lyon is also in a situation and condition that is destroyed and of course, with the bad conditions that Lyon is experiencing at this moment can be a great opportunity for Marseille to win with a big score. So ya, with a bad incident like this, I hope Marseille will get a heavy punishment, not only about fines and also not only about no spectators, but I also hope Marseille gets a point deduction. Because obviously, Marseille fans must receive severe punishment from this incident, and that punishment will befall their favorite club of course.

I had heard that seven people had been arrested so far. I hope those are the people who are actually linked with this, and if they are, they do get punished. And I also absolutely agree that this was a great time for them to pick up a win. But for some reason, they were a little too stupid to actually realize that they are going to face a team which is not doing well at all and they have a very big chance to win this match. The match has been postponed. And I certainly do not think that they are going to get the same kind of chance again. When they will play next, probably the mentality will be different for both teams. And of course, the culprits should be punished.

PSG has made many coaching changes but it is still difficult for them to win the UCL trophy. And I think the club management doesn't have to look for a new, better coach to be able to win the UCL trophy. Because what they need to do is give the current coach a lot of time so that can work harder to make PSG progress in the Champions League this season better than the previous season.

Because like Manchester City, they also need a lot of time to win the UCL trophy and PSG management has to learn a lot from Manchester City experience to be able to give their coach lots of time. Luis Enrique is not a top coach like Guardiola and Zidane but he needs time to bring PSG to glory in the Champions League.

The idea to buy a club from the Ligue 1 and then upgrade it with endless money and win the Champions League isn't reasonable from the outset. I think if they won the Champions League, it would have also been an extraordinary year and could not be repeated. The closest they got was the final one time, which was really impressive, but making PSG play like Real Madrid for the title every year is an illusion. Real Madrid has to look forward to a challenge every weekend because they have several strong teams in La Liga which are competing with them even when they don't play against each other. PSG has no serious opponents.

 The league is becoming more interesting and competitive recently,  some clubs are beginning to drop while some that were underperforming are beginning to improve and club up to the top,Monaco failed to maintain the 1st place when they faced Lille and conceded 2 goals without any reply, and they’ve now given Nice the opportunity to be at the very top, however Nice have to try being consistent so they'll not lose that spot to another team.

What makes a league interesting is the competition among the teams as the narrative of the previous winners always winning doesn't make a league competitive so am not surprised that we are experiencing some surprises in the Ligue 1 division though the league is still very young to analyze the performance of any team but however, a good start is the key to possibility of winning a trophy, already I analyzed Monaco's match against Lille before the match was played so the outcome wasn't a surprise to me as despite the fact that Lille is not too consistent but they are also one of the competitive teams in France ligue 1 division.

Nice is enjoying their self at the top for now, being at the top requires hardwork and consistency in winning so if they still want to maintain their stay at the top then they need more improvement in their play pattern.

Every player in the world of football has a dream to win the Ballon d'Or, where many people will wait to win the Ballon D'or of that dream even today. The Ballon Deer will be awarded to the player with the highest ranking today. But Leon Messi has the most chances here because he has received this award the most in the world of football. So today's Ballon d'Or Award could go to him, and I think he might get today's Ballon d'Or Award. Moreover, there are many other players where their goal ranking will be seen and according to that the first one will be awarded the Ballon d'Or. Among them are many players who have never won a Ballon d'Or, and their dream is to win the Ballon d'Or one day. In today's Ballon Deer event, which player can get this expensive prize?

1. Messi
2. Haaland
3. Mbappé
4. Vinicius Jr
5: De Bruyne
6: Rodri
7: Gündogan
8: Osimhen
9: J. Alvarez
10: Lewandowski
11: Bellingham
12: Bernardo Silva
13: Benzema
14: Kvaratskhelia
15: Lautaro
16: Saka
17: E. Martinez
18: Ødegaard
19: Salah
20: Musiala

It must be haaland.

Being top scorer with so many records in his first season with manchester city, winning treble winners last season, the greatest striker at this time and what's next? Haaland deseves to get it with all of his achievement. It will be so dumb if messi will be getting ballon d'or this season.
it must be king assist de bruyne or haaland. Mbappe is far compared with haaland. This is a sense reason to pick haaland as a winner instead of mbappe but the thing that surprises me if messi was winning this.
There is something wrong with this.

Brets was able to keep up with the game from Paris Sisnt Germain although in the end they had to admit defeat to Paris Saint Germain. After Paris Saint Germain took a 2-goal lead, I thought it would be an easy win for them. But Brest didn't give up that easily and they were able to equalize the score with goals in the 43rd minute and 52nd minute. I thought it was going to be a draw, but at the end of the game Paris Saint Germain scored again with K Mbappe's second goal.
Paris Saint Germain are slowly rediscovering their game, but they still have a lot of work to do.

It seems that the two-goal advantage cannot make PSG safe in the away match against Brest because the hosts do not want to give up easily. PSG would have almost played a draw against Brest if Kylian Mbappe had not scored his second goal in this match which ultimately made the score 2-3 in favor of PSG. It is something that PSG has been looking forward to to be able to bring home an additional 3 points. Actually, Kylian Mbappe could have recorded a hat trick in this match but unfortunately the penalty he took failed to become a goal. At least now Kylian Mbappe has returned to his important role as a goal scoring machine and currently Kylian Mbappe has contributed 10 goals with PSG.le as a goal scoring machine and currently Kylian Mbappe has contributed 10 goals with PSG.

PSG is gradually finding its game, Brest is not a weak team. PSG had to try hard to win this match, but they succeeded, and Mbappe once again proves his usefulness for the team. Despite the fact that so many important players have left the team, it seems that Enrique is gradually improving his game. In Ligue 1, Nice and Monaco will most likely compete with them, but Nice has a weak attack, they rely on their defense, I’m not sure that this can work throughout the entire season. But now the Champions League will be more important for Enrique, the main task will be to reach the playoffs.

Still not have final decision from Kylian Mbappe although he was confirmed not extend contract with PSG, better waiting what happen next window transfer opening will PSG sell him before becoming free agent or always have unpredictable thing if Kylian Mbappe agree extend his contract. Looking for replacement for Mbappe position its not easy, he is top level player perform and have more contribution for PSG and become top scorer almost every season.

In one or two months later will know with Mbappe future keep stay with PSG or sell him before becoming free agent, I don't think PSG won't extend him until his contract over because ability to earn above 100 million euro for selling him to many interested teams such as Real Madrid and Premier League teams.

just imagine what PSG will be like without Mbappe and can Enrique rely on other players? I can not imagine anymore because that situation would be very difficult.
as a bettor, TBH, after PSG lost Mbappe, I will try to be very careful or even stop betting on PSG matches because it is very clear that this team really depends on Mbappe and if Enrique can improve everything, it should not just be Mbappe who continuously contributes to every scored.

Without Mbappe in the team, I think PSG would have great difficulties in the league. As you said, we can say that they scored the winning goal thanks to Mbappe. I don't know if Mbappe will stay at PSG or not, we will find out in the next transfer season. In my opinion, I don't think he will want to stay longer because it is no longer a place where he can fully show himself and perform. PSG, on the other hand, are looking for new stars and one of them could be Kang-In Lee, who is currently in the first team. I don't understand why teams are so attached to players when they can build a squad with potential with such players. Right now, Mbappe is probably in charge and he does what he wants.
