French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[execijutiere]

PSG host Monaco. Starting with such an important match in the opening match of the week will have a significant impact on the course of the league. The winner of the match between the two title contenders will most likely be the home team, but I think Monaco will push their opponent hard. I expect the match to end 3-2 or 2-2. I hope that both teams will get plenty of goal positions and we will watch plenty of goals.

My score for this match 1-0,2-0,2-1.

Im not thinking this game will produce lots of goals. Monaco may be playing defensively against PSG caused by it will be playing away. The secret to overcoming PSG lies in implementing a lowblock defensive strategy that is complemented by a persistent and unwavering guarding plan focused on containing Mbappe. This is the key to reduce the attack from PSG. PSG will be fully offensive since the early game. Monaco needs to consistently defending against PSG.

It's the key to make PSG players feel frustrated and the direct counter attack will be very effective to help monaco to beat PSG. Monaco have learned from the previous match of PSG.
I think the club has prepared its strategy to reduce PSG's attack.

Trying to understand the clubs in Ligue 1 is difficult for me, I mean why do they falter so easily or in other words their consistency is so quickly lost when entering a new season. I think it's normal for players to come and go, but in reality it's not normal for that to happen at a Ligue 1 club. It's different when looking at La Liga and the Premier League for example, their consistency can still be said to be balanced when the season changes, yes although there are some clubs that also experience a significant decline.
What do you think caused that to happen in Ligue 1?

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.

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.

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.

I am quite sure that the Marseille coach has prepared the opening match of week 12 carefully because what is certain is that during the international break Marseille will definitely have trained their confidence in facing the match against Strasbourg, indeed this is Marseille's away match but I am quite confident in Marseille's victory. Even in 5 meetings In the last two teams, these two teams achieved a lot of draws, but Strasbourg have not been able to beat Marseille in home or away match, so I conclude thats in this match, Marseille will not allow a draw to happen because Marseille is trying to improve its ranking by continuing to add points.

In the last three encounter PSG had with Monaco, they weren't able to secure a win , they lost two and drew one which apparently has been a record PSG wouldn't want to further add up onto the forth and they will aswell want to continually maintain their top spot on the table.

Monaco will definitely want to repeat history but this time PSG is playing from home and will definitely resist strongly against any form of possible win Monaco would want to get our of the match, if Monaco happens to win, they stand a chance at the top of the table but otherwise PSG continues to remain at the top. Monaco in their last five away games had secured only one win so it's definitely possible they are not really good with away games so rhey may have a problem against PSG.

Their players already moved to other clubs, that's why there are so many ups and downs in this league except PSG. PSG is the only one rich club in this league, there's no club can compete against them. So if PSG isn't become a champion, it's really a big joke when they have every choices but get defeated with a club with limited choices.

Lyon is the most interesting club, they were good but now they're currently at the bottom lol.

It's very simple, because the competition in Ligue 1 is not very competitive, so a club like PSG doesn't have to work too hard to win the championship trophy, because they are guaranteed to win it at the end of the season. As a result, we can see that when PSG plays at UCL level, they have difficulty appearing consistently even though they have players at fantastic prices. On the other hand, Ligue 1 is in 5th position on UEFA's list of best leagues, so it is not surprising that seeing their representatives competing in the UCL is not taken into account.

We certainly realize that only PSG has large funds to build a squad every season, several other championship-challenging clubs such as Monaco are not like them. So this gap is what makes their competitive level not as tight as in the EPL or La Liga, but if Marseille is really acquired by PIF later, it will create two main axes in Ligue 1, like Barcelona and Madrid in La Liga.

Monaco in their last five away games had secured only one win so it's definitely possible they are not really good with away games so rhey may have a problem against PSG.

Until now, PSG is still playing well, even in the last five matches they have always won in a row, which is why the betting market favors PSG over Monaco, playing as host will of course be a favorite for PSG to win this match and add to the long list of wins so they can continue to be in the top spot. top of the standings, considering that playing in the UCL is not possible for them to reach the final and win it.

I know that PSG still doesn't really have good players and are ready for the UCL so I think they still look good playing in Ligue 1 and of course chasing the title this season is something they definitely want to achieve, PSG will perform well when they face Monaco later , the prediction is that PSG will win by three goals and Monaco will only reduce the defeat to 3 - 1.

PSG is in a good form right now. So I don't think they are going to be beaten in this match against Monaco. And compared to Monaco, the PSG team is actually better. Of course, there are going to be doubt if they are actually going to be able to win against Monaco. Doubting them is understandable because they have shown a lot of bad performances from time to time. But in my personal opinion, I think in this match, they are not going to face too much problems.

But this is no news that PSG is better than Monaco because guess what, is there any team in Ligue 1 that you think is better than PSG? Otherwise your post remains true 38 times per season.

It is all about how that game goes for Monaco and whether they are able to create a few chances for themselves and if they are, it is about scoring goals. If they get three chances in the game, they can't afford to waste those. But since that doesn't always go according to plan obviously, it is about form and some luck against PSG.

You can't stop PSG by playing defense. If you counter their attacks, you will see that PSG's defensive line is actually not that difficult. I think this match will have a lot of goals. Normally, Friday matches are not very enjoyable in terms of goals, but for some reason I expect at least 4 goals in this match. Both teams are offensive teams and they will give the spectators a good football.

I understand that and I've said before that player departures are very normal. I know their budget isn't as big as Paris Saint Germain's, but can't they sign players of the same quality as those who have left? I think they can. But the problem is, as I said at the beginning, why then are they always different every season. They can't show something that they showed in the previous season. If so I can conclude that they failed in recruiting new players, because looking at what happened I saw that way.

There are important and inferior games for PSG this season and Monaco game is an important one. Paris Saint-Germain doesn't seem to be in any tight competitive race with any opposition in Ligue One this season, Nice might bring turn out to be inconsistent in the remaining days of the season though their poor form will not start now. We know teams that will become threats for Les Parisiens and Nice is not enlisted. Monaco might as well try to share points if not, PSG will accumulate three points without struggles, that's specifically how an elite club turn out to become more formidable.

[topbitcoin]

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.

However, the Champions League is a big competition and PSG's progress is still stuck, which makes the situation complicated because after all, seeing from what is happening now we know that PSG will only be a club can in the Champions League especially with the opponents they have to face so to talk about PSG and the Champions League they will only be participants there without any changes especially if the title is to be achieved then for now it is difficult even tends to be a little impossible with their current situation.
Not to underestimate their great squad and their abundant money but such things will not be enough when talking about the Champions League and this season also they will still be troubled with a hell group that is difficult to avoid.

Even though PSG is the favorite to win this match, but it still doesn't seem easy for PSG to win this match. I don't know what actually happened because yes, many people predicted and/or said that Monaco would be able to provide tough resistance to PSG in this match. Meanwhile, for me personally, I am sure that PSG will still win this match, because the readiness of PSG players at this moment is at least quite good because not many key players are injured. So yes, at least with this good readiness factor, I'm sure PSG will still win even though yes, of course it takes a lot of effort because Monaco is not a weak team at all.

[bitgolden]

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 can't really consider them close teams to be fair, I understand the desire from people to see them do differently and that's understandable but that's not going to be case, it is going to be a bit different, we are going to end up seeing them changer it. I think we need to realize that PSG is by far the better team, not even remotely close levels, and we need to make sure that people are aware of this as well, because it is an important situation to be in.

Maybe you want to bet on a draw or even maybe want to bet on Monaco, and yes there will be people who will do that, not like the whole world will bet on PSG, but just because there is a tiny chance, that doesn't make the bet reasonable. I think PSG will have an easy time winning this game and my mind will not change about this. I get that I might be wrong, just because I am 100% set on betting PSG to win this game doesn't mean that I am right, but it is too obvious that it would be useless risk not to do that.

I hope that both teams will get plenty of goal positions and we will watch plenty of goals.

If I refer to the betting odds for both parties, Paris Saint-Germain is superior in the match in Week 13 of Ligue 1. PSG with @1.47, while Monaco with @6.00. It is clear that there is quite a big gap between the two teams, even though Manaco is also in the top four of the standings. I'm not sure if this match will end in a draw, unless Manaco chooses the defensive option. Moreover, the match was held at the Parc des Princes. In fact, I have reviewed both teams both this match and from both sides.

The point is, the coach is both carrying out several experiments and rotating several of his players. However, now Enrique prefers to apply the 4-2-2-2 pattern. and most likely he will use the same pattern, or it could be 4-2-3-1. while Manaco, if they don't choose the defensive option, they will apply the same pattern as PSG with the second option. In terms of game, technique and tactics, however, PSG is much better. Unfortunately, Enrique's focus is still on Mbappe as their goal-scoring machine. even though, PSG has two new pure strikers. In this match, both PSG and Manaco both had players who were injured. but still, PSG is more superior. If I had to choose, I would obviously bet on the Under. ideally, this match will produce 2 or 3 goals. betting on 3.5 goals with odds @1.82, very interesting for me.

We will watch one of the important matches of this season. Such matches are very critical in the championship race, the points the teams earn against each other are much more valuable than other matches.
PSG has not lost any points in recent weeks, I think this situation will continue and they will win against Monaco. By getting 3 points, it will increase the point difference between itself and its rivals in the leadership rankings

[Distraction]

Trying to understand the clubs in Ligue 1 is difficult for me, I mean why do they falter so easily or in other words their consistency is so quickly lost when entering a new season. I think it's normal for players to come and go, but in reality it's not normal for that to happen at a Ligue 1 club. It's different when looking at La Liga and the Premier League for example, their consistency can still be said to be balanced when the season changes, yes although there are some clubs that also experience a significant decline.
What do you think caused that to happen in Ligue 1?

I understand your curiousity about this topic. However actually we are witnessing similar examples in other top European leagues also.    For example Sevilla could be given as a wonderful example for that. Let's take what they did last season as an example. They were really shaky in the La Liga you know. However they were brilliant in the Europa League and that journey ended up with winning the title also. 

Surely there are similar incidents that other teams from other top leagues happened also. Therefore I don't think this is specific to the Ligue 1.

Meanwhile, for me personally, I am sure that PSG will still win this match, because the readiness of PSG players at this moment is at least quite good because not many key players are injured. So yes, at least with this good readiness factor, I'm sure PSG will still win even though yes, of course it takes a lot of effort because Monaco is not a weak team at all.

For PSG this will be a home game and it seems to me that after international games the team playing at home gets a huge advantage. They just need to gather at the base and prepare, three days is enough for this, but for the visiting team the task is much more difficult. Plus, even though Monaco is weaker than PSG, perhaps PSG will be additionally motivated against a formally close competitor. I think this game will end 3-0 or 3-1 in favor of PSG.
