French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Zlantann]

He didn't move to Real Madrid when the chance came up he decided to stay a season further with league one reigning Champions. With Real Madrid saying no to him now, I'm weighing the options where next he'll likely be! The Saudi Arabian Premier League, The Spanish League, Premier League and also an extension of his contract with Paris Saint Germans?

I'd love to see him in the Premier League. Manchester United or Liverpool would be considered great, with Mo Salah rumours of leaving Liverpool can afford his salaries. Same as Manchester United.

The Saudi Arabian Premier League will be more competitive than the European Competitions in no time soon, they're drawing all the best players out from Europe.

PSG did everything to make him remain in the French League when Real Madrid was desperately seeking for him. They made him the highest-paid and made him the most powerful player in a club that houses Messi and Neymar. I am surprised that Real Madrid has ended their interest in the player even when they had the opportunity to sign him for free.

From what I gathered his age is now a problem to the Los Blancos because they prefer to sign more younger players than the 26-year-old striker. His wage bill could also cause a financial burden on the club. I also suspect that some key players in Real Madrid might not be comfortable with Mbappé who is known to be bossy and self-centered. Maybe these stars might have discouraged the club from going for him to prevent a repeat of the personality clash that happened between Mbappé, Neymar and Messi in PSG.

Mbappé will have to remain in PSG until the end of his contract and PSG will like to persuade him to sign a new deal. I suspect he would reject such a move and seek another challenge somewhere else. He would never consider going to the Saudi Arabia Pro League regardless of the amount they will be willing to splash on him. Manchester United, Liverpool, Newcastle or Arsenal will be suitable for him to chase his dream of winning both club and individual trophies. I didn't mention Manchester City because they already have some of these best attackers which includes Erling Haaland.

We're all ears to be enlighten on the decisions of the Frenchman this summer. I was really shocked to see Kylian Mbappe declining a gigantic figures from Saudi Arabian clubs, he's more open to making a bold step in his football career. PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi has the final decision to make concerning Kylian Mbappe transfer saga and I hope he's able to resolved the whole issues. Kylian Mbappe doesn't worry about the hugh sums he receives weekly from PSG, he has already made his decision to exits Parc des Princes this summer.

If at that time Kylian Mbappe received an offer from one of the Arab clubs he would hold the record as the most expensive player and transfer of all time but in terms of achievements what would he get in that league? The Asian Champions League is certainly not as prestigious as the European Champions League or being Champions local League. Of course, it is also not more prestigious than him becoming the Ligue 1 champion, so his decision to refuse was right and proves that money is not his target, he only hopes to be a player who gets more titles, and he can achieve that when playing at a better club than PSG and a league that is bigger than Ligue 1 but certainly not the Arab League, the English Premier League and LaLiga are suitable places for his targets, and next year we will see where he will go to achieve his dream.

I still feel a little shocked about that one, I think he still thinks that Real Madrid is a possibility, but I bet that if he doesn't get an offer there, and sign a 4 year deal or something with PSG for a lot of money, after that's over, he may go. That was nearly 700 million dollar for one year, that is not normal, I think he realizes that he could make a lot of money at PSG so far as well, but he is getting to like 24 years old, with another 4 year deal somewhere decent, he will be 28 and after that if he still gets anything above 500 a year, he will accept that for sure.

Obviously he is a good player, but saying no to anything above 500 a year is unreal, it would not make sense at all. He should be able to go and play there and score like crazy and make the most amount of money. He will spend like just a few seasons there and then be able to buy any club he wants except a few of them. Literally talking about buying a whole club, he would be THAT rich.

[shogun47]

That's a problem that PSG doesn't have as much and this can often make the difference. I mean the risk is also there that a player like Mbappe gets an injury and is out for two months, which would weaken PSG by a lot, but probably still not enough to make them drop in performance so much that other teams could benefit from it. Whereas in those other teams any loss of a key player would almost instantly mean that they are facing a hard time and maybe even lose points during that time. That's where the superiority of quads with good depth in quality players win in the long run.

This can be said about any team, the loss of a leader will always be critical for the team, and for PSG it could be even more critical, since Mbappe has become too important a player for the attack after Neymar and Messi left the team. Or can be done like Milan did yesterday, they simply restrained Mbappe and did not allow him to create anything dangerous, Pioli correctly defined the game in defense and Mbappe was useless.

But Mbappe is not only a leader for the team or let's rather say the most important scorer, but he is also a player that means a lot of identification of fans with the club. There are so many fans around the world that are PSG fans not because of PSG, but because of Mbappe. They are buying his shirt and automatically support PSG as well of course. That's why I think that a lot will be done to persuade Mbappe to stay for longer than this season, but I think any tries are doomed to fail as he made his decision already.

Personally, I choose to remain silent and watch how the speculation about Mbappe future ends, whether he will choose to stay or move to another club, and that doesn't have to be Real Madrid. What I'm sure is still the same as before, PSG certainly does not want to be disadvantaged in the Mbappe transfer agreement.

All players certainly hope to get lots of trophies and individual achievements, but this does not deny that money is the main priority. With the naked eye, we only see what is happening and what is shown, without knowing what the situation is behind the scenes.

Currently, Mbappe is being fought over because he is considered the most promising property by big clubs, and in fact that is true. He still holds the bargaining value at the moment, because he is still very young. But that doesn't mean it can apply all the time, I just wish him the best in the future.

Tomorrow in French Soccer League, the game between Montpellier vs Nice will start. In this match, Nice team has more chances to win. Nice team has performed very well in all the previous matches. Nice team is now at the 1st position in the points table. On the other hand, Montpellier team is at the 13th position.  So I want to bet in support of Nice team in this match. Nice team has won 4 matches, lost 1 match. Montpellier team has lost 2 matches, won 2 matches and drawn 1 match.

More precisely, in a few hours this match will be judged. If we refer to the rankings of these two teams, there is a significant gap. Nice is in first place, while Montpellier is in 13th place. Uniquely, Nice's odds are quite good at @2.04, while Montpellier's are at @3.80.
In this match, Nice is superior. It's natural, because they are in first place in Ligue 1. However, I'm a little doubtful that the match will go as smoothly as Nice hopes. In fact, I suspect, the match will be quite tough even though Montpellier is far below their ranking. especially if you remember that last week, Montpellier lost with a landslide 3-0 at Paris Saint-Germain headquarters. Since this match was played at the Stade de la Mososon, Montpellier's headquarters, I sided with the home team. It's just that Nice is stronger in defense this season. Meanwhile, the home team was more productive in scoring goals than Nice. It could be that Nice will continue to maintain the points gap to maintain their ranking by winning this match.

However, there is no harm in betting on the home team with a +05 handicap option with odds of @1.76.
My estimate is that this match will end in a draw. or, under 2.5 goals with odds @1.79. Well, let's wait for the final result.

Nice is currently at the top of the table with 25 points and which is amazing for this team. Also, there is only a one-point gap between them and PSG.
The small gap between these two teams means, Nice has to win this match against Montpellier otherwise PSG can easily take their place in the French League.

[Slow death]

Today we have an important game, I consider today's game important because in case of a defeat for Nice it could open space for PSG to stay at the top of the table. today's game will be nice against Montpellier, nice comes from a sequence of 4 consecutive games without losing, they have shown themselves to be very strong in defense and in today's game they will try hard not to lose, but their problem is in attack, they managed to score just 13 goals in 11 games, it's funny that they are at the top of the table with that small number of goals, while their opponent Montpellier played the same number of games but managed to score 15 goals, although they had conceded 14 goals and are in position number 13.

Montpellier in the last 5 games had very mixed results with 2 wins, 2 defeats and 1 draw. They could be seen as a team without much chance of achieving a positive result in this game because they are playing against the team that is leading the league, but they may have some chance of tying the game, because as I wrote before, nice have problems in attack, although since the league games started and they haven't had any defeats yet, the team will concede a defeat at some point, and I think the bookmakers are counting on that.

I say this because the value of the odds for this game, although nice is given as the favorite, nice is still at 2.04 odds, which shows that it is not being seen as a big favorite, it seems to me that in this game we could see a draw , which wouldn't be good for Nice if they intend to win Ligue 1. One thing is clear: a defeat for Nice will make PSG stay at the top until the end of the league and will become champions once again.

[Distraction]

Nice would be likely to open the point gap with PSG more on this week maybe. Because first of all I think that Nice should be able to beat Montpellier no matter away or not. They are the strongest defense team in the league now and I don't believe Montpellier will be the team to break that defense to win.

PSG's opponent is a powerful team like Reims. It is an away match at the same time. Combining these things make me think that they can have a really hard time here. But Reims just can't do well against top teams of the league. We have an example like the 3-1 home loss against Monaco. But maybe they can manage to hold off PSG players just as they did here in the previous season.

[Weawant]

Nice has stayed unbeaten this season, they have aswell been good with their performance away, their performance away this season has aswell not Ben really bad so playing away against Montpellier shouldn't be really challenging to them because Montpellier is an average team.

Nice is currently at the top of the table currently with 25 points a point behind PSG, if they must maintain their position on the table as the first position, they must win the match today against Montpellier if not PSG may overtake them by the time they win their next match tomorrow against Reims, but if they eventually draw they may still be ahead if PSG draws aswell.

Nice is the only undefeated team this season. They have been very successful in the league so far and I think they will play well in this match as well. They will do whatever it takes to not break their undefeated streak.
Their opponent is not a very strong team anyway, so I think it will be a match where they will not have much difficulty. The betting odds are not very high, I don't know if it is worth taking the risk

Nice have chance to make it become 4 points gap with PSG on current standings position on few minutes later against Montpellier, actually looking the opponent team standing is not difficult for Nice get three points and close awhile the first place until two weeks later after international break out. Have difference compete teams in this season for pressure PSG on the first standings, usually have Lens and Marseille make pressure for PSG but in this season have Nice and AS Monaco although still not consistency performance in last several matches before.

Next match, PSG will away against Reims and looks not easily opponent teams because current standings from Reims success lead on top fourth position, I hope Reims can make difficulty for PSG with three points away match and will be excited with Ligue 1 current standings teams points before international break out.

Nice should be able to win their game against Montpellier, they have not lost any game yet this season and this game against the 12th team in the league should not be the game where they loose. Nice need to win to stay ahead of PSG with points and hope that PSG loose their away game against Reims, so that their lead can be extended. Reims are fourth on the league and Nice will hope that they will too much for PSG to handle especially with the home advantage that they would have.

From the start of the season until today Nice has always performed extraordinary and the only bad thing this club has experienced is drawing and never being defeated.
Sometimes I really wonder if this club doesn't have high quality players but is very consistent without being defeated or maybe because this club is taking advantage of the situation when other clubs are planning to compete in other competitions as other people have said here.
The current score is still 0-0 and Nice almost scored but missed the wrong shot and if Montpellier managed to withstand any pressure from Nice it would probably only be a draw but if Nice loses luck is on Montpellier's side but the chances are very small.

Montpellier vs Nice The first half ended without a score (0-0), it seems like Nice have a tough opponent on matchday 12 tonight, but there is still the second half and I think Nice can still scored. In fact, even though they are playing away now, but the Nice team can control over the course of this match. And there is a possibility that Nice can increase their attacking power in the second half, to be able to scored and steal three points at the Mosson stadium.

Now their match time is running out and no goals have been scored in the match. I think Nice needs to press and attack harder in order to score one of the goals that might give Nice the three points on matchday 12 tonight. Because if their match ends in a draw tonight, it will be very possible for PSG to overtake Nice in tomorrow's match at home to Reims, so Nice needs to score one of the goals to win tonight.

Nice faced a very though side this evening, Montpellier is an average club in France ligue 1. They played with so much energy tonight and Nice were unable to penetrate them, it was really an awesome performance by both clubs though nice would have done more to win this match and still remain at the top of the league but however, instead of losing the match entirely earning a draw is also a welcome development.

Nice still remain at the top of the France ligue 1 table pending the outcome of Paris Saints German match with Stade Reims on Saturday being tomorrow, if PSG wins then they might eventually top the table.

Finally the match between Nice vs Montpellier ended with a score of 0-0, even though there were quite a lot of good opportunities presented but none of them were scored, Montpellier's defense was really good today.  With only 2 points adrift, PSG's chances of returning to 1st place are very big, facing Reims later, PSG will definitely win well even though in the UCL match yesterday they lost 2-1 to Milan.  Monaco is also only 1 point away from PSG, if PSG is held to a draw or loses then Monaco will be in 2nd place ^{(Monaco will definitely win smoothly against Havre)}

[GiftedMAN]

To be honest, I can't provide a detailed review based on my point of view regarding the Milan vs PSG match. If you say PSG has not been consistent so far, we agree with that. In fact, Enrique still doesn't have a standard that he can always rely on for his squad when playing their matches. In the match between these two teams, I only watched the first half of the match, the rest I watched the other matches. PSG should be able to win the match against Milan. especially if we refer to match statistics. Milan Skriniar took the lead in the 9th minute, PSG started to get carried away by AC Milan's style of play, IMO.

In the end, Milan was able to equalize 1-1 which was scored by Rafael Leao. Entering the second half, Milan actually reversed the situation through a Giround goal in the 50th minute. Then, Enrique tried to respond by replacing several players starting in the 60th minute. I think PSG was carried away by AC Milan's style of play. although basically, PSG controlled ball possession, especially in the second half with 75%. Unfortunately, 2 PSG shots hit the goal post. Well, the match against Dortmund still has a long gap. ideally, PSG should overthrow Newcastle at the Parc des Princes, their headquarters.
Talking about the match in the Ligue 1 competition, between Reims vs PSG. Based on betting options, the bookie still favors PSG in the feed later. Well, let's just wait, because this match still has a time lag.

The match against Milan wasn’t supposed to be an easy one with Milan who were going down the drain in terms of form, Milan came into this match as an angry lions to snatch points off PSG and relinquish their hopes of securing a spot in the Round of 16, yes the injury problems really had its tow on this Milan team but they tried to come out Victors in the match.

 This PSG side has been up and down on form lately and that has shown not just on their team performance but also on the team’s result, I think Luis Enrique needs to make this team sharpened and clinical in front of goal, Enrique has a lot of job at hand to do if he wants to take his team far in this UCL Edition as for their match against Reims they still remain favorite and I trust Kylian to bounce back to winning ways with his teammates with this match.

I thought I would see PSG win against Milan. But PSG were unlucky. Even after dominating the entire match, PSG could not win. PSG played badly I wouldn't say that. They had 70% of the ball possession and were able to attack a lot. Even so, they were defeated in the end.

PSG had a very good advantage when the match between them and Milan started and most people expected them to win against Milan because when the game started they had more control of the ball and they pressured the home team Milan until they were able to get the first goal. But everything changed and the PSG players became I bit relaxed thinking they will win the game but things turned around Milan gave them a food fight until they were able to get and equalizer and eventually won the match 2:1. The possession were for PSG but Milan got the three points coming from behind, I think the PSG attack is looking very weak perhaps they will get more attackers to help strengthen the performance of the team to a better one.

[rahmad2nd]

The match between Montpellier vs Nice is exactly according to my analysis and predictions. I said in the previous post that this match ended in a draw, and it was a safe choice with the handicap option +5 @1.76. or, Under 2.5 goals @1.79. Even though these two teams have quite a significant gap based on the standings, the odds options, statistics for the two teams, home factors, and also in terms of scoring goals, were one of my previous considerations in the results of my analysis. It was proven that this match ended with a score of 0-0, even though Nice controlled the game. even in terms of opportunities, but based on available statistics, they were only able to score 13 goals, in the last 11 matches and became 12 with this match.
As for the plus factor, Nice is stronger in terms of defense now. It is proven that they have only conceded 4 goals in all their matches in Ligue 1.

As for the home team, they are grateful that they did not lose in this match and must be willing to share the same 1 point with Nice. technically, Nice is much better than Montpellier. The difference is that Montpellier had one chance that hit Nice's goal post.  Apart from that, it seems there is no opportunity to really threaten Nice's goal which is guarded by Marcin Bulka. With this result, it opens up a big opportunity for PSG to shift the ranking occupied by the team above them.

Tomorrow, PSG will visit Reims headquarters. and referring to the betting options, PSG is far superior to the home team. even based on odds, PSG has a low value with @1.56. on paper, PSG should be able to win this match.

Until the start of the match against PSG, I was sure that PSG would win this Champions League match. PSG started well against AC Milan in the previous Champions League but within moments the game turned completely upside down. Where the probability of winning the match was more towards PSG, the probability of winning the match turned towards AC Milan. In the first match of the Champions League, PSG won by a big margin, but in the second match, PSG lost points. Although AC Milan could not win by a very big margin against PSG, this victory has given them confidence again. Until the match against PSG, AC Milan's position was not very good in the points table but AC Milan has definitely managed to improve their table.
