French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[ShowOff]

If you look at Lyon current situation, the transition process and changes to the club structure and management that new owner John Textor is trying to carry out seem to be going nowhere. As a result, Lyon performance has dropped drastically and is now slumped at the bottom of the standings and has only collected 7 points in 11 matches, maybe it would be worse if they had not recovered until the season was halfway through. Fabio Grosso hasn't been able to do much and so far his leadership has only won one win, the best thing that must be done immediately is to help Lyon get out of the degradation zone.

In the 2000s, Lyon was one of the clubs that dominated Ligue 1 under Aulas as club owner, but this season could be their worst season in the last two decades. The January transfer window must be used as a solution to recruit several new players, thereby helping to boost the club performance to avoid degradation next season.

You're completely right about that, but I'm not sure how much money Lyon will have to spend in the next transfer window to strengthen their squad depth. They have a new coach who is still in the adaptation stage, but the depth of the squad must also be a focus so that Lyon avoids the relegation zone more quickly.

I believe in the end Lyon will be in better form than in their first 11 games of the season. They are a team that usually does a good job season after season, but this season they suffered too much. Lack of productive strikers and weak defense are two problems that must be resolved immediately, Lyon should not feel comfortable like this.

Luis Enrique still has work to do for Les Parisiens this season; he needs to win the Ligue One title and qualify from UEFA Group F. These are the fundamental phases that can earn Luis Enrique his flowers at Parc des Princes. Paris Saint-Germain versus Monaco up next: We know what a formidable opponent AS Monaco can be because they have won more games against PSG in previous seasons but let's watch out for this season. Monaco has routinely stunned PSG everytime they meet, and I believe this time will be different; I expect PSG will come out on top this season.

Yes, Enrique current task is very difficult, he must be able to try to get 2 titles in League 1 and Champions League, even though it is very impossible to lift champions League trophy, but at least Enrique is given the responsibility to be able to give his best and the most important thing is actually to remain in first place in League 1 until the end of the season.
But current situation is a bit difficult, under pressure from the two clubs Nice and Monaco, while in upcoming match PSG will have to face their rivals.
There are no big expectations, it just that fans want PSG to be more consistent or draw matches better.

[Doell]

There is enough time to calculate how that game will go, we do not have to rush into it, there are national teams and we should see how players do at their national team, and some injuries or not etc etc, we do not even know if players will be too tired and they need to get better.

I think with all of that in mind, I believe that we are going to end up with a situation that is going to be pretty difficult to handle, it is not going to be all that easy and we need to remember that we can't make it change all that much, we need to make sure that everything stays the same as much as possible, that should be the most important thing.

I understand that we are not going to end up with a situation that has to be. After those national games are over, the odds are clear that PSG will win, just because Monaco managed to win some games they shouldn't, doesn't mean they will do that again.

You are right, the situation can change if players suffer injuries while playing for their national team. We really have to pay attention to these factors, because they can be a good reference for us in choosing bets.
So indeed, for now we have to be patient if we want to bet on any matches including this one match. Because there are many possibilities, although on paper PSG are currently favorites in next match against Monaco, but if many key players are unavailable due to injury it will have an impact on their performance.

What do we have for Luis Enrique and PSG other than showering support for them to boost their performance. Luis Enrique is under pressure I think, he has to do more to impress the board and the supporters this season. Winning the Ligue One might seems easy for PSG but when it comes to other major titles, they're absolutely dormant and settle for lesser results than expected. PSG conceded 4 goals against Newcastle United in UEFA Champions League in the first leg, now they will host Newcastle at Parc des Princes stadium, if PSG fail to do a comeback against such an average team, it means they're not yet ready to prepare for the big games.

Luis Henrique have pressure must winning UEFA Champion League regarding domestic league tittle its not enough for PSG, all manager sacked from his position before after failure bring PSG winning Champion League tittle although many of them success winning domestic league. I don't sure if PSG loss compete in Champion League, Luis Henrique position is not secure yet and easily for sacking from his position although PSG must pay fees compensation. Likely, winning domestic league tittle its not really special achievement for PSG fans and they have huge expected for winning Champion League in the first time, spent much money every season but PSG can't talk more in Champion League with the most fantastic result achievement lead to final stage only last several season before beating by Bayern Munich.

Left two matches in group stage and PSG position still not secure yet, will in this season another bad record for PSG failed lead to knock out round?

The game between PSG and Monaco after the international break is a decided one with regard to the quality of players in PSG. Although the international break can cause a lot of after effect on a club, effects that are unpredictable like in the case of Camavinga who got injured during his training session, what if a player gets injured during national assignment? Well, the team and coach would only have to profer a good replacement and make the with the players he has available.

 Tiredness and injury are most likely to occur. We can't task a player to be careful while playing, no one knows how or when it's happen, it's just an effect of the break. So after every break, the squad will be cross checked, there'd be some subtractions and additions as regards the player's conditions and then prepare for the next game, Monaco has been narrowly winning their recent games but I doubt they stand a victory chance against PSG. PSG has the quality of players needed and I believe there'd be extra eagerness to deliver victory.

It is not wrong if we want to pay attention to this all this time, because the key players on each team are very important for the team's performance and the level of consistency of the team itself in each match. So far, neither Monaco nor PSG have played so badly in their matches, so you need to pay special attention when you want to bet even though their match takes place at PSG's home ground. However, that doesn't mean that Monaco can't win this match because Monaco is also doing very well this season in Ligue1.

In my opinion, this match will have a big meaning for both teams in determining their performance this season. Where if PSG wins this match of course they already have a smooth path to establishing themselves as potential champions this season. So for Monaco, of course their hopes are quite small in this match because they have to visit PSG headquarters in week 13 of this season. For PSG they have so far returned to their best form and maybe this match will be one of the matches to confirm the strength they have this season.

PSG plays in front of their own supporters when they face Monaco, of course Mbappe et al will get extraordinary support to get 3 points in this match. On the other hand, Monaco has several players injured in next week match which will certainly be very detrimental for them when they face PSG. I think PSG is in very favorable conditions to win this match.

PSG has obviously gotten their key players intact and ready for this match, although their line up isn't out, but it's most likely they are going to have their key players featured, mbappe is a key player for PSG and it's almost certain they he will play except for injury or red card which he currently has none.

Monaco is a team who can't be considered poor with their performance and are definitely not going to make it easy for PSG if they must win, Monaco started off the season so well and ever since have performed any less they have been really brilliant just like PSG has done so far as well this season, so I expect an interesting match between both teams an for now can't really say wou will be taking home three points or maybe they would both share the points equally.

PSG will certainly have a perfect squad in the match against Monaco because this match is not an easy match for them to win. Luis Enrique will of course not make rotations which could have fatal consequences for the final result of this match, of course he will play Mbappe in this match. PSG wants to widen the points gap with the teams below them in next week match and they must be able to win this match to increase the motivation of their players to appear confident for the upcoming match. PSG have two tough matches for them next week where Luis Enrique's men will face Monaco and also Newcastle United in the Champions League.

Therefore, they to expected a victory from Monaco so they can be consistent when they face Newcastle United. The best scenario for the match against Monaco is to field their core players and if they are able to score goals faster maybe Luis Enrique can withdraw some of the core players to be able to maintain their energy when facing Newcatle in the Champions League. So these two matches will be quite crucial for them and I hope no PSG players will be injured when they face Monaco

Undoubtedly, Monaco and Paris Saint Germaine has been very impressive since the start of the French Ligue 1 campaign which has made so many people to find it very difficult to predict the outcome of the game.
That being said, I still think that one of the two teams are better in terms of performance and because the supposed better team will be playing the game at home, I expect Paris Saint Germaine to win the game. In my prediction, I'll chose a PSG win while also using the option of the both teams to score because definitely both of the teams will score in that game.

After all it is a home game and I think that is one advantage that PSG has in this game over Monaco, but the pure quality they have in their squad is always an advantage if they are in good shape and can play their best game. A lot will depend on Mbappe, which is not surprising. If he has a day with great efficiency and gets his opportunities, there is no stopping him. So for the sake of the league I hope that PSG doesn't win, but I believe they will win.

Monaco has always been a tough opponents for PSG in the League one for long, and if you check statistics you can confirm that.
Last season, PSG were with full squad including Messi, Neymar, Ramos and others but they failed to beat Monaco talk less of now that they don’t have those players and they only depend on Mbappe.

It will actually be a very hard game to predict, but I am sure that Monaco will not lose this match because they are also willing to lead the table if they can beat them that is why I wanted to stay neutral while betting; I will
Bet the match over 2.5 because I know both teams will score goals.

So true and betting after the official line up to be release. We shall not try to rush it. Having lots of injured players are also reducing the chances of PSG to win the game against monaco. Monaco was one of strong team. This match will help the winner to create the gap against its competitors.
PSG will be struggling when it will be against monaco. In fact, monaco is also trying so hard to defend its position to stay at the top place. It's unacceptable for monaco to lose against PSG. The club just needs to use the defensive strategy.

This will be helping the club so much. I don't really put PSG as the favorite here but mbappe probably will become the savior for PSG again. I can't imagine when PSG will have no him on its side.
It will probably affecting the performance of PSG. Three points are the main target by PSG and monaco. Let's see whether monaco can prevent PSG to get three points.
Draw is not that bad too but i hope that will not happen.

Monaco was usually unstable in the games we saw from this team and they could not have a stable performance in the French League because in some games we saw from them, Monaco had good performances and they won the games we were not expecting to see a win from them and in some other games we saw from Monaco, they totally failed and that's why this team is on the third place of the league with a little gap with PSG at first place of the table, but I think PSG will not let Monaco decrease the gap.

[Velvet78]

PSG have been given @1.49 odds for the win against Monaco in Parc des Princes. I understand the thinking of bookmakers but I don't know. It still feels like this is lower than it should be. Because we are talking about an unbalanced team this season. But looking at the Ligue 1 table I can also see that impressive winning streak on one hand.

This is the main reason of these odds though. But Monaco have been a pain for PSG in their last three head-to-head games. They couldn't beat them in any of them. I wonder if we would see PSG breaking this cycle by a win this time.

[Hirose UK]

Lille's current form gives them the edge over Lyon. Their five-game streak displays consistency, which Lyon lacks. I think they'll seize the chance to close the gap on Monaco. Lille is likely to win due to their depth and success this season. Lyon's situation is dire. They are a shell of their former selves in relegation. It's bizarre to witness a French football powerhouse struggle. Their recent success is a small indication of life. They must overhaul, possibly starting with the coach. Fabio Grosso hasn't changed things, and player signings won't fix their fundamental concerns. Their season is challenging, thus I doubt they'll beat Lille.

I agree when say that Lille performance is better than Lyon and in this match Lille has big chance of winning, but as I said before this victory cannot bring Lille to overtake Monaco because of the 4 point difference.
It just that Lille will be superior to Monaco in their next match because Lille itself only plays against very weak team while Monaco has to face PSG.
Of the top teams matches, only PSG and Monaco looked so fierce that there was even some drama, such as more fouls or even red cards because they prioritized winning the match in order to achieve success in getting full points.
And my interest is in Nice because they are the same as Lille who have weak opponents, Toulouse will be Nice opponent and could they be under pressure like the previous match against Montpellier which ended in draw.
It been full of instability for the French football team and there have been quite lot of unexpected matches during this season start.

Injuries will affect the course of the match. Paris Saint Germain is a difficult team. Monaco is a strong team. Monaco's probability of winning the match increases due to injuries in PSG. PSG is still a strong team. In my opinion, they have a better chance of winning the match than Monaco. There is currently a 3 point difference between them and if Monaco wins they will be above Psg.

Luis Enrique have to motivate his players to be confident when playing games, they're just new players who's trying their best to blend together on the pitch, I know it's not easy but they just have to try because there are games mapped down for Les Parisiens to win. Paris Saint-Germain have the upper hand in this game, but can they be able to win Monaco hands down? I don't think so because PSG are also struggling in these Ligue One games and they have to prove themselves in games before I can comfortably stake on a draw against Paris Saint-Germain vs Monaco.

Maybe I think otherwise and these odds are quite feasible for PSG because after all Monaco is one of the strong teams in Ligue 1 even though they are often less consistent. On the other hand, the meeting you mentioned is also enough to influence PSG's odds of winning to become more feasible and with this it is certain that PSG will be favored to win at home.

I don't see Monaco being a serious threat to PSG and if PSG can lead by more than 2 goals, of course it will be over for Monaco and they will definitely have difficulty equalizing. So I think PSG will win by any score and this will be what they deserve to maintain their top position from week to week.
