French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Zlantann]

This is the first season for Luis Enrique, proving his worth is something the fans are eager to see and it'll be disappointing to see him lose the league to smaller clubs in League 1 in which, coaches he was far better than did better to win the league tittle.
The game is important, they have to win to go top of the league, Good thing they still have Mbappe scoring goals for the club even if he has plans towards leaving the league. ( Nothing has been said in between from the french intentional ). I'm also rooting for Paris Saint Germans to win the game, if they can score early enough, they will defend well amd prepare for the Champions League clash on Tuesday against Newcastle at home too. Another must win!

This is Luis Enrique's first managerial assignment in the French League. He had handled clubs in Spain and Italy before now but he has never coached any in France. So I guess he needs time to get used to the League. We saw how Thomas Tuchel struggled to get hold of Bayern Munich last season, the club miraculously won the Bundesliga. Tomorrow's game against Monaco is important for PSG because it will determine if they can still maintain the number one spot. Losing or drawing the game will give Nice the chance to recover the first position it lost a few weeks ago since the gap between them is just one point.

Although Monaco is not a weak team but still, I personally still believe in betting on PSG to win in this match. Because anyway, so far PSG has managed to get a winning streak, until now PSG has managed to be at the top of the Ligue 1 standings and has a 3-point gap with Monaco who is in third place. So yes, with results like that then of course, I'm sure PSG will maintain its top position by beating Monaco in this match. Because if PSG manages to win, then of course PSG will slowly manage to create a good points gap with the competing teams behind them.

Based on the recent form of Monaco this game will not be an easy one for PSG. Monaco has a team with a lot of potential.  If it were two seasons ago, one could be certain that PSG would win the game based on the quality of the team. Currently, they are not the potent force we used to know because they have lost games against some lowly-rated teams. But they have the fans and Mbappé which could be an advantage.

[asriloni]

PSG can't defeat Monaco for 3 head-to-head matches by the way. Of course those are matches in the past but I believe they still matter. Because having an advantage psychologically can be really important for a team. That team can even maintain this advantage for like many more years. But when it comes to Monaco I doubt they will be able to do just like that. Because maybe PSG can be full of surprises this season. But they are still the strongest team now as well on paper.

Moreover now PSG have a really good series of wins in the league. Maybe this series would also be a big morale to defeat Monaco and put an end to this streak between them. 

Sometimes with H2H we can know which team has won the most matches but when the team is given a test to maintain the top spot then they have to do it at all costs including maximizing wins regardless of past results. Maybe that's what PSG is currently thinking and they don't care about past meetings where they lost because right now there are more important things after the difficult times they experienced at the start of the season. PSG must win otherwise they will easily be pushed back by Nice and it will definitely be a fierce competition again. But I'm pretty sure PSG will win and it's impossible for there to be a draw in this match. Let's see the results later considering that the match is getting closer.

You are right and in the last three games they had in PSG against Monaco, PSG could never win the game and beat Monaco but the fact about the games between these two teams is mostly about the new coach PSG is going use for this match. 
The last time PSG beat Monaco was in 2021-2022 when PSG won the game with a 2-0 result and after that, they couldn't win. But I think Enrique can win this match easily this time.

PSG is going to play without some important players and it will give impact to the performance from the club. So, PSG can only rely on mbappe to help the club to break the bad record against monaco since last season.
Monaco is always consistently beating PSG but since the club has got a new coach and PSG may be using the different strategy that will affect the final result against monaco.
Monaco will be playing away and it has smaller chance to beat PSG at the parc de prince. PSG needs also be careful once its opponent will be implementing the defensive - direct counter attack strategy as this is the main weakness of PSG.
The low blocks ball strategy may become a sense strategy to be used by monaco against PSG away. Goncalo has no impact to the club. he is far from good.
PSG is still relying upon mbappe in any game.

[Chilwell]

Yes, this is indeed a quite difficult match for PSG, indeed Monaco is not an easy opponent and so far Monaco has been PSG's strong rival in the domestic league. If PSG can perform well at home, at least PSG will be at the top for a while, PSG has a good record in In the last five matches, PSG has been able to win the match without losing. I think PSG will win consistently in the next match, but PSG remains alert because Monaco is trying to steal three points from PSG if PSG is careless. This match is quite difficult to predict and maybe Monaco won't. Let PSG win, they will definitely try to get a draw rather than losess.

Monaco is not a weak team. They once beat PSG 3-1, and it is not impossible that this will happen again in the second meeting. even though PSG is playing at home, I hope they remain at their best.
I don't doubt PSG's performance, especially their very productive front line. PSG dominates in Ligue 1. But Monaco is also a productive team, they scored 25 goals in 12 matches. The meeting between the two will be interesting, although several bookies' offers still favor PSG.

Because if PSG manages to win, then of course PSG will slowly manage to create a good points gap with the competing teams behind them.

Indeed if PSG will win definitely they will have a breath space, but PSG are playing away match in Monaco home and for almost three meeting matches since 2022 PSG had not defeated Monaco, that why I have been doubting PSG win against Monaco, Monaco we like to maintain that stand to still beat PSG again, while PSG will like to end the short unbeaten against them and even though Monaco wins they can't make it to the top because there is still go different which the gap is very wide.

[Tony116]

The PSG-Monaco match will also be very difficult. PSG are a strong team and they can beat Monaco. I'm sure Monaco is working on PSG with full concentration. It will be a match that directly affects the top ranks of the league. Monaco will try to catch PSG and prevent them from getting ahead. An exciting weekend awaits us all in League 1.

Ligue One title will uniformly go back to the real Champs and it's crystal clear the team that will lifts the crown this season. PSG will not hold back but strive harder for main results this season. Paris Saint-Germain are coming to accumulate every solid points against their oppositions this season, there's completely nothing exciting about the match, we will formerly watch how Les Parisiens will dominate the game fulltime and put their opponents under heavy pressure. There's nothing difficult about the game, PSG have the basic requirements to defeats any potential team this season.

I think it's not just about competition in the race for the Ligue 1 title this season, because it looks like PSG has another mission too of course to take revenge. Because after all, the fact is that last season Monaco managed to beat and hold PSG to a draw, so in their last three meetings in Ligue 1 the fact is that PSG always failed to beat Monaco. So yes, with factors like that, of course PSG will not hold back and moreover, PSG's key players were not injured in the international match yesterday. So of course, playing at home and still needing points to strengthen their position at the top of the current Ligue 1 standings, then of course PSG will still do well to beat Monaco in this weekend match.

If PSG is actually interested in taking revenge, I think they should think about the Champions League competition. It is kind of dumb to actually be invested so much in the Ligue 1 because it is obviously going to be won by PSG. They really do not have any competition in the league. They are the best team in the league and it is not going to make sense at all if they are unable to win the league title. The much more important thing that they should be concentrating on is the Champions League competition, which they are not doing in my opinion.

There is no one who doubts PSG in Ligue1 because they have long dominated the league and I am sure the arrival of Luis Enrique can have a much better effect compared to the previous coach. PSG must build a big motivation if you want to succeed in the Champions League because this is a true competition for Luis Enrique or club. Management recruited him to handle PSG to be stronger and he had to be able to bring PSG to compete in the Champions League with other teams in the race for the title.

If not then it is no different from the previous coach because indeed they have become so dominant in Ligue1 for the title before his arrival. Luis Enrique's job is how to bring PSG to compete in the Champions League, although this season has not been able to bring champions, but the coach must build the squad for the better for the season as.

Even though Monaco is not a weak team, I think PSG will win this match. Monaco is playing very well this season. And now they are trying to get to the top of the table. However, the PSG team will not want to lose the top spot in the points table now. At the start of the season we saw poor performances from PSG, but now the PSG team has been very consistent. They are playing well in every match. PSG's performance is stable now due to Luis Enrique's excellent match strategy. I believe that Luis Enrique will surely devise a match strategy to beat Monaco. I consider PSG as the favorite and I think PSG will dominate against Monaco and win.

This is one of the good games to bet on, I'm staking in-favour of PSG to win because they're elite team and sitting comfortably #1 on the table. Adolf Hütter can only rant but he can't bite Luis Enrique who's 100% prepared to face him. The Monaco game will be tougher than expected because both teams are just returning from international break and they will ensure to display a show for their supporters, I can't wait to watch the game.

[Silence Scream]

I don't think they will win easily. Even if they win, it will be after a close match. Monaco is a strong team as before and they will put a lot of pressure on PSG. Of course, PSG is also strong, but I do not feel a big enough difference in quality to say that they will definitely win the match. Considering that Monaco is trying for the leadership this year, I think they will be specially motivated for this match.

Of course PSG will do their best this season to be able to defend their championship title, especially as Luis Enrique as coach will certainly not make mistakes that will cause his coaching career to collapse due to his failure with PSG.
However, we see that this season is different from the previous season and it cannot be denied that PSG's performance this season has declined and they are also inconsistent, giving Monaco and several other teams a chance to win the title this season.

This season is still very long, and the team's consistency is still in question, PSG is indeed a strong team but they have yet to show their consistency, in the still very long season, of course anything is still possible to happen.

It's natural that many people predict PSG can win this match because PSG plays much more consistently than Monaco, Monaco is PSG's biggest rival in occupying the first position so I think Luis Enrique will not let Monaco take over PSG's current position which is in first place. but if PSG slips even a little, Nice and Monaco will try to occupy it because these three clubs have a small difference in points.
This match looks interesting but I would predict a draw considering that both teams have equally strong performances.

[rendravolt]

Do you see the possibility that Marseille will win this week's match? because the opponent they will face is Strasbourg. Even though this is an away match for Marseille, in H2H the two meetings last season resulted in 2 draws with the same score of 2-2. I quite doubt that Marseille will be able to beat Strasbourg this time and the result is still likely to be the same as a draw.

On the other hand, if Marseille continues to get poor results then they cannot move better from their current position and that will make them fall even further down. As for Strasbourg, they will definitely work hard so as not to lose and stay away from the relegation zone temporarily. This will be a match that is quite difficult to predict and looking at the results of the last few matches actually these two teams are on the same track with inconsistency.

To be honest, strabourg has been impressing me with its performance at the early season but it is very disappointing to see how strasbourg was performing so badly. This is unacceptable and marseilla has higher probability to win the match.
We shall compare the overall performance from both of clubs. Strasborg is still continuously get more losses while marselle is also doing the same, but it's a bit better compared with stras.

I think that we will see draw to be the result from this game as both are still performing worst at this moment. Marseille has no improvement since gattuso has become a new appointment recruited by this club.
Gattuso was a bad coach and signing him as a new coach is a blunder from marseille.

Both team to score is a sense choice along with double chance. I would like to take the double chance and it may work even better in the match between two of horrible club this season.

[len01]

I don't think they will win easily. Even if they win, it will be after a close match. Monaco is a strong team as before and they will put a lot of pressure on PSG. Of course, PSG is also strong, but I do not feel a big enough difference in quality to say that they will definitely win the match. Considering that Monaco is trying for the leadership this year, I think they will be specially motivated for this match.

its not surprising that some people think this will be a big match because Monaco is one of the big teams in league 1 while next weekend it will be against the big team PSG and this match will likely be proof of who the strongest team is and its true what you said even though PSG could win the match but it not be as easy as we think because Monaco has quite good attackers and could put strong pressure on PSG while PSG currently has an unstable defense and this will really worry us all.

we all hope that PSG can win this match, but at least Enrique must know Monaco weaknesses and of course Monaco defenders will focus more on Mbappe and PSG must take advantage of opportunities like this to rely on other players to score and it looks like both teams will score more than four scores.

Luis Enrique has been able to stabilize the PSG team. PSG's performance in the last few matches is very telling. PSG's overall performance is very tidy right now. At the same time the understanding between the players is also good. However, the team is still largely dependent on Mbappe's performance. However, other players in the team try their best to perform well. And so I consider the PSG team as the favorite against Monaco. PSG is a strong team. And coach Luis Enrique is very experienced. He can certainly create a worthy match strategy to defeat the Monaco side. Hopefully PSG and Enrique will not disappoint us.

This match looks interesting but I would predict a draw considering that both teams have equally strong performances.

Referring to PSG head to head record versus Monaco, both have balanced records. However, I am quite sure that this time the PSG squad will secure full points to remain at the top of the standings, that doesn't mean I underestimate the quality of Monaco. After a fairly boring international break, this big Ligue 1 match is the most awaited match.

Victory is mandatory for PSG, apart from confirming their status in the points table, victory over Monaco will be valuable capital to face Newcastle in the UCL group phase. I think Enrique and his players really understand the importance of this match. Talking about the club's preparations, I think both of them are very mature, considering that both coaches have a lot of time because of yesterday break.

On the other hand, several of PSG new recruits in the transfer window yesterday have not shown the expected contribution. For me, this is a sign that Enrique must find a suitable formula to help them unleash their best potential, which will ultimately boost the club performance if the adaptation goes as it should.

We have seen this before that PSG was doing great in the league and also in the Champions League in the group stage. But the Champions League is far from over for them in the group stage and in the league there is nothing surprising happening. They are leading in France and that is quite normal. I don't know if this is because Luis Enrique is such a great coach or whether PSG has more money than any other club. But PSG's problem is not what's going on today, their problem is what will happen when they face a big opponent in the next round of the Champions League. If the season for them ends in February in the Champions League, it will again be the same that they have problems to motivate themselves to play well in Ligue 1.

Strasbourg also is not better than Marseille, Marseille is still the favorite team to win even though they are the away team, but a draw might be the final result of this match.
Both teams can be said to have the same weaknesses, both are equally difficult to score goals and their defense is just as bad, which is why Marseille is still struggling in the middle of the table while Strasbourg is ranked fifteenth in the standings and is only a few points away from the bottom team.
Marseille really needs a win if they want to improve their position in the standings and when facing a fairly weak team like Strasbourg they have to maximize every opportunity because so far they have lost quite a lot of points if there is no improvement it will be difficult for them to get a place in the European competition next season.

I also think that PSG will win this game... But I think that Monaco have more motivation, because if they win, they can fight with PSG for the first place in the standings... The last three meetings PSG have not won against Monaco, so I do not exclude that there can be a draw...

[Phoenix Anka]

The PSG-Monaco match will also be very difficult. PSG are a strong team and they can beat Monaco. I'm sure Monaco is working on PSG with full concentration. It will be a match that directly affects the top ranks of the league. Monaco will try to catch PSG and prevent them from getting ahead. An exciting weekend awaits us all in League 1.

Ligue One title will uniformly go back to the real Champs and it's crystal clear the team that will lifts the crown this season. PSG will not hold back but strive harder for main results this season. Paris Saint-Germain are coming to accumulate every solid points against their oppositions this season, there's completely nothing exciting about the match, we will formerly watch how Les Parisiens will dominate the game fulltime and put their opponents under heavy pressure. There's nothing difficult about the game, PSG have the basic requirements to defeats any potential team this season.

I think it's not just about competition in the race for the Ligue 1 title this season, because it looks like PSG has another mission too of course to take revenge. Because after all, the fact is that last season Monaco managed to beat and hold PSG to a draw, so in their last three meetings in Ligue 1 the fact is that PSG always failed to beat Monaco. So yes, with factors like that, of course PSG will not hold back and moreover, PSG's key players were not injured in the international match yesterday. So of course, playing at home and still needing points to strengthen their position at the top of the current Ligue 1 standings, then of course PSG will still do well to beat Monaco in this weekend match.

If PSG is actually interested in taking revenge, I think they should think about the Champions League competition. It is kind of dumb to actually be invested so much in the Ligue 1 because it is obviously going to be won by PSG. They really do not have any competition in the league. They are the best team in the league and it is not going to make sense at all if they are unable to win the league title. The much more important thing that they should be concentrating on is the Champions League competition, which they are not doing in my opinion.

You are right about PSG. What they should focus on is UCL, but I think their chances in UCL are quite low. You would expect a team with a $1 billion squad quality to win all their matches, but they have 6 points in the UCL. They will play difficult matches and it will be a big shock for them if they cannot get out of the group. The match they will play against Newcastle in France is very critical. If they win that match, they will have a chance to get out of the groups. That's why they must beat the English team.

Both teams can be said to have the same weaknesses, both are equally difficult to score goals and their defense is just as bad, which is why Marseille is still struggling in the middle of the table while Strasbourg is ranked fifteenth in the standings and is only a few points away from the bottom team.
Marseille really needs a win if they want to improve their position in the standings and when facing a fairly weak team like Strasbourg they have to maximize every opportunity because so far they have lost quite a lot of points if there is no improvement it will be difficult for them to get a place in the European competition next season.

The only weak team that Marseille can beat in the last 5 matches is Le Havre, but the team that started promotion this season has a better record than Marseille and sits in 7th position in the standings. As one of the big teams in Ligue 1, Marseille must prove its capacity and win again in crucial weeks like this. Moreover, against Strasbourg, who were a weak team in Ligue 1 from the start, it shouldn't be a problem for them.

But what makes Marseille difficult is that if they have lots of chances but none of them score a goal, of course that will be another bad luck for Gennaro Gattuso's squad. However, if Marseille still doesn't get points in this match, it is possible that Marseille's decision to choose Gennaro Gattuso as coach this season will spell disaster for them.
