French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[rahmad2nd]

Indeed, last season PSG failed to beat Monaco but at this moment, at least Monaco does not have a good record of results for away matches. Because anyway, from 6 away matches of Monaco so far in Ligue 1, the fact is that Moncao also has only 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss . Because so far this season, Monaco only has better results for home matches and thus, playing away against PSG is likely to remain a difficult job for Monaco. But even though PSG is very favored in this match, but I think it is still not easy for PSG even though indeed, PSG still has a chance to win but maybe only with a thin score.

Last season, PSG only played Neymar and Hugo Ekitike as strikers. plus, the pattern that Galtier uses is a 3-5-2 formation. In the end, Monaco was able to beat PSG with a score of 3-1.

This season, it seems the situation is different. Even though I haven't gotten the details of the line-up for the two teams, based on the temporary odds, PSG is far superior with a margin of @1.48. Even though it is only based on the available odds, it seems that PSG will do their best to get full points and at the same time strengthen their position at the top of the standings. Meanwhile, as I said in the previous post, currently PSG is performing well in the Lique 1 competition.

Meanwhile, Monaco, in their last match, only got a draw. Moreover, Adolf Hutter is no different from what Enrique did, he also tends to change his formation and strategy. It could be interpreted that Monaco does not yet have a standard that is its mainstay. That's also why their performance hasn't really stabilized. Well, regarding the results of this match, I don't want to rush into speculating even though I support PSG. Let's just wait, the battle between these two teams will be held.

I understand your points about PSG being the favorite team to win against Monaco, but there's something important to consider. PSG has a crucial Champions League match coming up on Tuesday against Newcastle after their match against Monaco. This match is super important for PSG because it will decide if they can move on to the next level of the competition. Now, this is where it gets tricky. So I think that PSG might rest some of their main players or not play them for the entire match against Monaco. Why? Because they want their key players to be fresh and ready for the big Champions League game. And if PSG decides to use less experienced or backup players against Monaco, it might give Monaco a chance to be stronger and take advantage of the situation. So, even though PSG is usually really good, the upcoming Champions League match adds a bit of uncertainty to whether they'll use all their best players against Monaco.

I realize that I left this important info aside when I made my considerations for this game, but you are indeed correct here. PSG will do everything to ensure that their best eleven players are available on Tuesday. They won't make any mistakes and risk to be missing important players for that game. Now they can't put all of their players on the bench obviously. I am curious how Enrique will approach this situation and what his solution will be in particular for Mbappe. Let him play and risk an unexpected injury or play it safe?

[Docnaster]

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.

Both teams are equally strong, but yes PSG actually has a better chance of winning in that match, their squad depth is better than Monaco. Also they are in better condition because in last several matches PSG has had a positive trend, that is the main point for PSG so far under Enrique leadership and PSG has become a solid team at the moment.
Not suprisingly the bookies also slightly favor PSG in that match, with the odds being lower than Monaco, it is clear that PSG's chances of winning are high at home. But football is full of surprises, maybe Monaco will make efforts optimally in that match to at least get one point from PSG with a draw result.

However, Paris Saint Germain will look superior to any other club in Ligue 1, so it's no surprise that the bookies will give them lower odds than their opponents.
Monaco cannot be underestimated, they have the potential to give Paris Siant Germain a run for their money. And I think any club would be more motivated against the Ligue 1 giants because a win would be priceless, especially when they're not too far apart on points, and that would make them even closer. Monaco will try their best in this match, and a draw is also a good result for them.

Yes, in terms of performance, PSG players look more ready to win the title like last season and that's all because Kylian Mbappe is still at the club and imagine if Mbappe left PSG, would it be this strong? I'm sure it won't be as strong as it is now.
But I still believe that the competition between PSG and Monaco will definitely be superior to PSG because PSG's performance strength is still quite good to continue to maintain first position in the points table and when betting on PSG matches, always consider choosing a better option.

Monaco has been very outstanding in their performance since the start of the season and I expect them to put up a   fight against Paris Saint Germaine when they visit the French champions next weekend but the truth is that PSG has been a better team than Monaco this season.
Since PSG manager Luis Enrique found a playing pattern that's been working for the club, the club has been destroying teams in the French Ligue 1 and I also expect them to comfortably beat Monaco even when the Monaco players would want to get something from that game.

PSG is a very strong team compared to Monaco. But this match is important for Monaco. They will want to earn points by any means. Because if somehow Monaco can get 3 points in this match then PSG and Monaco will be equal in points. And so Monaco's boys will try hard to earn points in this match. But as you said, Monaco's performance in the away match is poor. On the other hand, PSG team players are also in a good rhythm now. PSG have won their last 5 matches in Ligue 1. Luis Enrique has been able to stabilize the team. And so the PSG team is considered as favourite in this match. Unless PSG's attacking players let us down, PSG will win.

Of course PSG is stronger because in terms of team depth they have more quality players such as Mbappe and Goncalo Ramos. I admit that PSG has a bigger advantage in all aspects to calm this match. For Monaco, they could surprise many parties if they are able to steal points at home to Psg, but that is very unlikely to happen because Psg is so strong when playing at home. In the previous match, PSG also achieved a landslide victory when they beat Reims and that was a valuable asset for PSG to secure 3 points when they faced Monaco.

Luis Enrique has succeeded in bringing PSG back to the top of the standings and they will defend with all their strength to succeed in maintaining their winning trend next week. If you look at Monaco previous match, they had difficulty beating Havre and it could be that they will also have greater difficulties when they face PSG.

[Swordsoffreedom]

If you look at strength, PSG is indeed much stronger, but this season PSG is often inconsistent and so is Monaco, this is the same team that is inconsistent in my opinion, so anything can happen.
While the smaller odds for PSG are indeed feasible because the winning percentage is greater for them because it all looks at the team's strength.

For the whole of this season, even though PSG is inconsistent, I don't see any strong competition from other teams to stop PSG from winning Ligue 1 because other teams are also inconsistent, so no one can take advantage of PSG's underperformance to leave them on the standings.

I do not think that PSG is as inconsistent in the league as people think they are. They didn't had a great start and that part is true but then they ended up being so much better, and won plenty of enough games to be at the very top once again. When a team is at the very top, it is possible that they could end up losing games or getting a draw, nobody at the top just goes unbeaten forever, but it also means that they probably have a higher chance to win their games than anyone else as well.

This is why it's smart to bet on their win, they will probably beat Monaco and keep on being the leader of the league, is there a chance for them to fail? Of course there is, but I can't just bet on the off chance that PSG may end up losing points, it's much better to bet on them to win every game, even when rarely you are wrong, it still means that the wins would cover the difference and you should be profiting from them enough to cover the losses here and there.

I also do not understand what they mean when they say Paris Saint Germaine are inconsistent since the start of the season because I don't think they are. Like you rightly said, PSG had a poor start to the season with shocking results on games that they were expected to win but that immediately the club manager Luis Enrique found the best playing pattern for the club they started winning matches and have been the best side in the French Ligue 1 since then.
With what we've seen from the PSG team, I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop them from winning the league title at the end of the season because when yo talk of quality of players, they have the best in the league

Right now PSG is just dominating and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that they are going to stay on top of the table for a long period of time. I actually don't think that they will drop from the first position honestly. But I think we should not underestimate the other teams in the Ligue 1 competition. Nice is showing good performance, Monaco is also on their tail. So the competition is not already over. But PSG is certainly the best team in the league and right now they are performing like one as well.

I won't say already that no team in the Ligue One is gonna be able to stop them. But it is going to be a hard job for the other teams for sure.

Other clubs such as Nice and Monaco are trying to take over first place but PSG is not a club that will easily give up because PSG has quality and experienced players even though it is difficult for PSG to win the title in the Champions League but PSG still performs well in the domestic league and try to dominate the title in league 1.
I don't see Lens chasing PSG again like last season because Lens is already quite a lot of points behind PSG, so I think this competition only exists in Monaco, Nice and PSG sees this competition like I saw the competition in the 2016/2017 season where these three clubs are trying scrambled to win the trophy and as a result Monaco managed to win it and PSG was in second place and Nice was in 3rd place, this season will be a very interesting season to see these 3 clubs competing again and we'll see which club manages to occupy first place because currently they only have a small difference in points.

This is another opportunity for Luis Enrique to grab good points from his opponents. PSG are home to start with, meaning they have full domination and home advantage, they won't stop until they accumulate three points from scoring goals and winning the game. I'm confident PSG will not stress against Monaco who I believed to be struggling team this season and will melt down when they face one of the big teams in Ligue One after the international break. PSG vs Monaco, a must win game for Les Parisiens because they're contending for Ligue One title this season, they will ensure everything becomes smooth for then without recording complicated results.

With the current situation and the current status of PSG, they are definitely the favorites, although surely the comparison is not too far away, but PSG will still be the favorites in this match.
With Monaco's obstacles in the last few matches, which have always failed in consistency, of course this can be an obstacle that will definitely be more favorable to PSG.

But PSG's weakness is also still there in this case because after all, with their current situation although quite consistent but the problem of their attack line which still has obstacles, this could indeed be another problem when facing Monaco later.

Nice will be the team that threatens PSG this season. They have an unbeaten record this season and are only 1 point behind PSG. Nice has been an average team in Ligue 1 for many years. But who would have thought that Nice, under the hands of 34-year-old coach Francesco Farioli, would play so well. Just one mistake from PSG will help Nice rise to the top of the rankings. And have a chance to win this season. But in the end, Nice and Monaco cannot be compared with defending French champion PSG. They have abundant finances and outstanding stars. Then, the trophy also belonged to them. It is difficult for any team to be brave enough to defeat them.

everyone certainly still has hope and will continue to recognize that PSG is a team that is worthy and ready to be at the top of the standings to get the league 1 title and what PSG needs now is to consistently maintain its position to remain at the top of the standings without having to be moved by the team on the other hand, even though currently Nice and Monaco are very strong challengers, as long as PSG can be consistent, they will definitely dominate league 1.

TBH, for me, as long as PSG has not given the teams below them a big point difference, I can not give big hopes for this team and that does not mean I dont respect your opinion, but I always prioritize thinking realistically and seeing a very close point difference, whereas PSG has to dividing the match schedule in the UCL and league 1 will be a tough task and even though this season PSG failed to get to the top of the standings, I can understand because it will not be easy for a team that divides the match schedule with other competitions and I will also understand if PSG fails in the UCL because PSG always relies on just 1 player.

In terms of strength, Nice and Monaco are still below PSG, but Nice and Monaco can only wait and take advantage of PSG's downturn as happened at the start of the season so they can compete at the top of the standings.
However, it is very likely that this season Nice and Monaco will pose a serious threat to PSG because Luis Enrique's team this season has had inconsistent performance so this will be an opportunity for Nice and Monaco to take advantage of it.

PSG cannot dominate the league like it used to. The 2nd and 3rd teams follow PSG very closely. As you said, PSG plays a game based on one man and this causes them to have difficulties in some matches.

I think it is possible to stop PSG in League 1. With the point difference so close, if PSG suffers a defeat, it may not be able to recover as quickly as it did in the past. When I watch PSG matches, I cannot see that there is a very good harmony in the team. There are very good players individually, but I don't think they are that good as a team.

Then, the trophy also belonged to them. It is difficult for any team to be brave enough to defeat them.

Yes, Nice has the opportunity to break PSG's dominance this season, taking advantage of the opportunity when PSG is focused on other competitions, but actually it's not Nice who I hope can break PSG's dominance, but Monaco, who I hope can take first place in the points table to lead League 1 until the end. this season, but I think Nice has been much more consistent without being defeated, which is proof that this club is able to try to become a strong challenger to PSG, even though currently PSG can perform well, but if PSG suffers 2 consecutive defeats, it is likely that Nice will become leaders in League 1.
If PSG really wants to be like before, at least they can maximize the performance of their players to maintain their current points to continue adding points and providing a difference for Nice.

[Strongkored]

I'm waiting patiently for the international break to end so I can see these elite teams return back to action and the players get warmed up for competitive runs, it's going to be fun and amazing. PSG vs. Monaco is an important assignment for Luis Enrique, and he hopes his crucial player, Kylian Mbappe, returns to action immediately without any difficulty or doubts. Personally, I believe he is the only valuable player who is capable of scoring for his club interms of need and mostly at crucial moment. Ligue One games are mostly for formidable teams, and they will break down mediocre clubs with insufficient intensity.

It is hoped that club competitions will return to their schedule after the international break.
Kylian Mbappe is a player who can always be relied on for his club and has proven to have scored many goals for PSG this season even though he had problems and did not play in PSG's first few matches this season, but he proved his loyalty again by scoring goals.
Kylian Mbappe has just scored his 300th goal in his career and at his young age there will be many records he can create.
That is why the PSG owner is very enthusiastic about keeping this star at this club because he understands the big influence it will have on the club's achievements.

I don't think I expect a meltdown, but sure it can happen when PSG gets fired up and maybe scores early, but otherwise I can also see how Monaco could become dangerous through counter attacks. Their offense was quite ok so far and they have conceded not too many goals. It is not the best defense, needless to say, but still I think if a team can cause PSG to have some problems then it is rather Monaco than any other team from the lower part of the table.

It will be a great match no matter what. I am sure that we will watch an enjoyable match between Monaco and PSG. PSG is a stronger candidate for victory. Monaco is in a good position as a team that has played successful matches this year. I'm sure it will be an enjoyable match. I want Monaco to win.

Kylian Mbappe's hat trick in the match against Gibraltar confirmed his record of 300 career goals and this is a big achievement for a young player for the French national team. He is not only productive for the club but also for his country and of course PSG is happy that this player can continue to score goals in any competition. It seems that everything went well during the international break without any injuries and as an important player at PSG, Kylian Mbappe must be back in fit condition ahead of the crucial matches in the Ligue 1 or Champions League competitions later. Keeping Kylian Mbappe for longer is PSG's obligation and I think they will try to do that even though there are many rumors that their mainstay player will leave after his contract ends.

Keeping Kylian Mbappe for longer is PSG's obligation and I think they will try to do that even though there are many rumors that their mainstay player will leave after his contract ends.

I read on a website that he is the first at such a young age (24 years old) who scored 300 goals in his professional career before reaching the age of 25. This is a huge achievement and if he stands at the top of that list, it also has some individual reward character. He is still running after the other, official trophies, but I think if he leaves PSG and goes to a club with higher prestige and more chances to win the Champions League, he will also be awarded with best player of the year titles.

But this also means something for PSG as a club. Having Mbappe under contract is not just having a good striker under contract. Mbappe means a lot to PSG and the recognition value of the club. I think the transfer saga Mbappe - PSG is not yet over! By the time when January, February is over I will get my popcorn out again!

However, it is very likely that this season Nice and Monaco will pose a serious threat to PSG because Luis Enrique's team this season has had inconsistent performance so this will be an opportunity for Nice and Monaco to take advantage of it.

The quality of Nice and Monaco is lower in comparison to PSG, but it's important to note that this is not surprising given that PSG is owned by a billionaire, while the other clubs are merely trying to survive with the resources available to them. That will be a shame if PSG will not able to win the league 1 this season. Importantly, PSG is also having one of best player in the world. It's also recruiting world class coach to handle the club. This is a common thing to see PSG will able to dominate the competition.
I must admit that if unable to win against monaco is such a horrible result for PSG. Many people are betting on PSG for the upcoming match and they did believe PSG will able to humiliate monaco easily.
Monaco just need to put its main focus into the mbappe. Mbappe is the only guy who was able changing the situation in the game. Having him being guarded was enough to prevent him from running freely.

Monaco to win the game would be good and if PSG wins the game, then at least Nice shouldn't lose to retain some tension for those following Ligue 1. But I think the French guys Mbappe and Dembele are pretty pumped and they will try to continue this against Monaco. But Dembele is up and down and therefore nothing is set in stone yet. It is still possible that PSG has one of those bad days and Monaco gets their chances. Monaco's attacking line is strong enough to get something done in that game.

[Velvet78]

Montpellier were the team to put an end to Nice's great winning streak unexpectedly. I didn't expect that because Montpellier didn't look much good until then. But they were really great at defending. Anyway now people must be curious about whether Nice will bounce back from that point loss quickly.

Honestly I believe they will do so. Because their next game is against Toulouse home. Bookmakers have given them reasonable odds to win as well which must be around 1.50. I won't bet on Nice anyway though but I feel like they will win this by one goal. I hope they can break the series of drawing with Toulouse in head-to-head games too.
