French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Jody.Drummer]

Well, I saved my money yesterday. Lost a lot as I said before on Monaco last year, didn't want to bet on them much this year but just the way they've been playing recently it almost almost made me fall for them.

Now please for Nice to get it back, don't let PSG sit for one moment.

It didn't take long for PSG to regain the lead, yesterday they beat Monaco and today Nice need to beat Toulouse to hold on to PSG and maintain their one-point lead. But what I was talking about is happening, Enrique has adjusted the game and now PSG are becoming the same as before, and if Nice cannot hold on to PSG, then they will lead in the championship with a big advantage.

A very convincing victory was achieved by Paris Saint Germain with a final score of 5-2 in their favor. It seems they are really ready to be able to beat Monaco in this match. I think it will be a tight match, after Monaco could slightly offset the game from Paris Saint Germain in the first half. But entering the second half they were completely overwhelmed by the attacking line from Paris Sint Germain, and in the end goal after goal was created against them so that the score became 4-1. Although they created another goal in the 75th minute, Paris Saint Germain also broke into Monaco's goal again in the final minute of the match.

Monaco vs PSG

I know Monaco performance isn't too stable this season because they have already lose twice and gets 3 draw from 12 matches but if we see based on meeting statistics Monaco can make PSG get in trouble several times and in the last 3 meeting Monaco can able to beat PSG twice so these statistics has proven Monaco cannot be inderestimate by PSG so this match will be so tight

Obviously PSG is the favourite and they have been showing their consistency recently because in Ligue 1 PSG has got 5 winning streak and compared to Monaco their performance was slightly better and PSG had ambition want secured first place and besides that PSG also want to improved their meeting records from Monaco and about team condition Marquinhos and Warren Zaire-Emery possibly will not be available because they were got injured after defend their national team although this is hard match but i believe PSG can able to overcomes Monaco and the odds for PSG is @1.50

The sad thing for PSG in this game is they are not going to have Marquinhos for this match and this player is still injured.
In the game between Argentina and Brazil, Brazil lost the game with a 1-0 result and it was not good for them because they even lost their player, Marquinhos.
This player is going to be out of the field for 10 days and this means he can't play in the games against Newcastle and Monaco.

I think Marquinhos' absence is more significant than folks realize. He is PSG's defensive pillar, and without him, a gap will exist. PSG isnt just about one player, and they've demonstrated they can still perform well, but a player of his caliber is hard to replace. Luis Enrique may not show it, but he's under pressure to change his strategy in the forthcoming games. PSG's strength is teamwork, but Marquinhos adds stability and technique thats hard to equal. What they'll do versus Newcastle and Monaco is intriguing. They have depth, but every team misses a major player, even PSG.

The game was worth 6 points, even if paris only won 3. And another very important thing was that Kolo Muani scored a goal. He came into the game in minute 72 and didnt have much time to score, but in minute 96 he did. He is not been a very good striker until now, in 8 games he has only scored 3 goals, i expect more from him because he cost so much money. You cant compare his stats with Mbappe, he has 14 goals in 12 games. As long as Paris are on first place in Ligue 1, it is not a problem now, Kolo Muani will have more time.

@Blitzboy PSG comfortably won this game and while I was hoping for a fight from Monaco they barely offered anything of much significance which clearly shows they need to work on their strategies. Further while there were glimpses of good football from Monaco but if they wish to secure a top 4 spot then they’ll have to do better because it’s clear that PSG will be winning the title once more.

But what I was talking about is happening, Enrique has adjusted the game and now PSG are becoming the same as before, and if Nice cannot hold on to PSG, then they will lead in the championship with a big advantage.

Luis Enrique has once again proven his expertise as a coach by formulating the perfect strategy for PSG. His team managed to beat Monaco with a landslide score of 5-2, while maintaining their position at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. Five goals scored by five different players is a rare occurrence. For me, this shows that PSG has even squad equally. Dembele finally scored his first goal for PSG since moving from Barcelona last summer.

Nice is still in second place, 4 points behind PSG. They will try to reduce the difference in points by winning over Toulouse in the match which will take place tomorrow. However, I am personally quite confident that Nice will continue their winning streak while maintaining their 13-match unbeaten streak. It is true that PSG will benefit if Nice stumbles at the hands of Toulouse.

The question is for how long Nice could stay as competitive for PSG and another question about the fluctuations of PSG and whether they could keep winning or not.
For now, the 4 points difference between PSG and Nice are reassuring. Since Nice are expected to win then 1 point difference is nothing and the tension on PSG will remain high this season.
Marseille and Lens failure and previously Lille, made the table of Ligue 1 quite unstable with a huge change every year except for PSG until now of course.

Toulouse is quite strong but it's not that strong to prevent nice to get full points. Im sure that nice will win against toulouse easily. Bookies were favoring nice. The result may be the same like the previous matches.
Nice is going to win with the narrow score against toulouse. Im not expecting nice to dominating the game against toulouse but it will have some effective chances that will give nice opportunities to create goals.
1-0 is enough as long as nice will win the game. Nice shall not be doing blunder during the match to keep up with PSG and surpass monaco. If Toulouse decides to adopt a defensive strategy against Nice, it may pose a greater challenge for the latter in the game.

Three points will help nice to climb up.

[QueenVera]

Seven goals scored in a big match is certainly an interesting match for the spectators because often big matches end goalless, because they play very carefully
Looking at the statistics of this match, it was a tough match, even though Monaco lost quite badly, but both teams created equally many opportunities, and PSG managed to play more effectively in completing every opportunity that existed and interestingly, the five goals that PSG scored were all created by different players because usually Mbappe will dominate but not in this match because he only scored one goal from the penalty spot
Winning this big match further strengthens PSG's position at the top, even though Nice has the opportunity to reduce the point difference again, but winning over Toulouse later is still not enough to replace PSG place, Nice needs PSG to experience defeat if they want to get to the top.

PSG moves clear top with a captivating 7 goal thriller match against Monaco who’re 3rd place, Monaco were good value for their two goals and kept the game a contest throughout most of the night, but ultimately just ran out of steam having played a high-energy press from the first minute, this match is a warning sign to Newcastle who’ll be playing at Parc des Princes on Tuesday as PSG will be ruthless to secure their Round of 16 spot.

 PSG who were humbled in England have made some warning notes by taking the goals when it all mattered and that’s what’s needed for victory, Newcastle defense line will have to be super notch else they’ll be suffering same fate as Monaco in coming days, well they might have won at their ground but i doubt if they'll be able to beat a more organised Paris Saint Germain team at the Parc des Princes.

It looks like Enrique has succeeded in getting the right formula for PSG because yes, PSG's success in beating Monaco with a score of 5-2 is at least proof of that. So yes, with this victory, PSG has managed to get its current 6th consecutive win. Thus, I think I will no longer care whether Nice will win or not because after all, currently PSG clearly has the ability to create a wide points gap with the competing teams in positions 2 and 3. So yes, of course PSG will is back strong at the top of the Ligue 1 standings and it seems there are no longer any doubts for PSG in Ligue 1.

[piebeyb]

PSG just nailed their sixth win in a row, taking down Monaco 5-2. It was quite a show, ending in a thrilling seven-goal match. PSG is now sitting at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. The team seems to have found its spark, and there's a fantastic energy among the players. They're working together seamlessly, putting in a ton of effort and staying consistent. Everything is clicking, and I'm excited to see more of this in the coming days.

Monaco is actually not a difficult opponent for PSG, but as we can see, in the first half the match was quite tough, Monaco played very well and was able to balance PSG's game, but in the second half Monaco had to admit PSG's greatness and Monaco looked helpless so they had to losing badly by conceding five goals, this is of course beneficial for PSG to be able to get the full three points and maintain their position at the top of the standings.

Monaco must recognize the greatness of PSG and it is indeed difficult to win away from home, PSG did not disappoint all their fans who watched this match, of course this victory was PSG's umpteenth victory in a row, Enrique was quite successful in maintaining the players' stamina and performance in today's match so that everyone performed very well using good strategy and tactics to win the match.

[hahay]

There is still another match to be played in a few hours from now, the match between Strasbourg v Marseille. Maybe yes, at least I am a little surprised how Marseille can be favored to win in this match. Because after all, although Marseille is currently in 10th place and Strasbourg is in 15th place, but they only have a gap of 1 point. Also, so far this season Marseille has absolutely no winning results for away matches. Because anyway, of Marseille's 6 away matches so far Marseille only got 2 draws and 4 losses and also, Marseille has conceded 12 goals for away matches so far in Ligue 1. Therefore, I wonder how Marseille is the favorite team in this match, because I think Strasbourg is also not easy to beat, moreover Strasbourg will also play at home.

Well, I saved my money yesterday. Lost a lot as I said before on Monaco last year, didn't want to bet on them much this year but just the way they've been playing recently it almost almost made me fall for them.

Just like here, previously I thought about choosing AS Monaco in handicap betting, luckily I fell asleep and didn't place my bet until the match was over, who knows what luck is on my side now . Looking at the statistics of their match yesterday, PSG deserved to win against AS Monaco, they dominated from all sides.

Now please for Nice to get it back, don't let PSG sit for one moment.

There is no doubt that Nice will win in their next match, apart from the difference in conditions between the two teams, this match is also a home match for Nice, it will really encourage them to produce the best possible result in front of their supporters. And if it is true that they will win, that alone is not enough to shift PSG's position at the top of the Ligue 1 standings, they're 1 point less than PSG.

Nice has had better performance at home this season and I think playing from home in their next game will be an advantage enough on their side as they have since this season had better performance at home such that it looks like they have got a stronghold in their home.

If they win they are definitely not going to be able to displace PSG but will rather maintain the difference in their points on the table, I think that will be the only much they can get because even PSG won their match and have further increase the point with Wich they maintain a good stand on the table but then a draw will further keep Nice some points behind PSG, currently they are four points behind, a draw will keep them three points behind but a win will continually keep them a point behind.

[MAAManda]

Nice has had better performance at home this season and I think playing from home in their next game will be an advantage enough on their side as they have since this season had better performance at home such that it looks like they have got a stronghold in their home.

Good performance this season + home match makes Nice the bookies favorite to win, it can be seen that on the 1X2 betting type Nice only gets @1,5 odds. While Toulouse who are playing away have @6.5 on their side, it's quite lopsided IMO which indicates that Nice could win this match with a big score. I think this is a good opportunity to double money if the result of this match isn't the same as the results in their last 2 meetings .

Yes, it seems like PSG has rediscovered its best standard of play. The series of wins is valid proof that PSG will be very difficult to beat again in the French League. Henrique certainly feels quite satisfied with what his troops have done on the field. A big win over Monaco will certainly be a good asset for them to face the Champions League against Newcastle. I think PSG will not have any difficulties if all the players are able to perform at their top performance.

[beerlover]

There was a rain of goals in the match played in France last night. The spectators who came to the stadium saw exactly 7 goals. After the Qataris bought PSG, there was a great balance of power in the French League. Psg has built a very strong team with the transfers it has made and has been winning the league easily in recent years. Only 2 years ago, Lille succeeded and became the champion.
Monaco has always been a team that I have watched with interest and liked in this league. Unfortunately, his strength was not enough against Psg yesterday. The match ended with a score of 5-2.

Honestly I did not expected the game to be with this many goals while watching it, the first half looked and felt a bit more calm, even though three of the goals was scored there, it looked like defenses were better during first half anyway. Then something happened and many goals happened in a short span of time, both teams started to go attacking a bit more. In the end, it was always known that PSG was much better team, some people doubted it but I knew from the start, and many millions of people knew that PSG would win this game and that is exactly what has happened as well.

I feel like this wasn't really that much of a shocking result. PSG has built an amazing team where even Mbappe is no longer needed, remove him from this game and PSG would still be able to beat Monaco easily, they were playing so good that they could have replaced him with whoever is his backup and they would still be the better team on paper without a doubt.

But what I was talking about is happening, Enrique has adjusted the game and now PSG are becoming the same as before, and if Nice cannot hold on to PSG, then they will lead in the championship with a big advantage.

PSG appeared more convincing in yesterday's match against Monaco, and as I predicted, Adolf Hutter's squad would have difficulty keeping up with the game or overthrowing the home team. Even though we refer to the H2H meeting between these two teams, PSG always finds it difficult to overthrow Monaco. and Enrique made an exception in this match, he was able to bring his squad to overthrow Monaco with a big score. In this match, it was Dembele's first goal, he also played with a very good performance. The score ended 5-2, and luckily I hesitated to bet.

My previous estimate was that Paris Saint Germain would only win the match by a narrow score. I predict, if it doesn't end with a score of 2-1, then, 2-0. the result is out of scenario, I speculate on Under 3.5 goals. and yep, I was spared because I was dubious about betting. With this result, PSG now leads the top of the standings with a difference of 4 points ahead of Nice who is in 2nd place. tomorrow, Nice will host Toulouse. I don't think Nice will achieve a positive result in the match against Toulouse.
By the way, now Enrique can focus more on the Champions League group phase to host the match against Newcastle later.

I think PSG will not have any difficulties if all the players are able to perform at their top performance.

With the capital of winning over Monaco, PSG should be able to get their revenge this time. In the first leg Eddie Howe squad embarrassed them at St James Park, and this time it's their turn to take revenge, I think if they lose or draw again it would be very embarrassing because they are playing in front of their own supporters. In my opinion, PSG can relax for the Ligue 1 competition, after all, in the end they will also win a trophy at the end of the season as usual.

This does not mean to underestimate other clubs, but I try to say what I see realistically. I see Enrique has a squad that is almost the same as Man City and Arsenal in terms of price, isn't there price there is quality, that what I mean here.

I feel that PSG can definitely secure a place in group F to qualify for the round of 16, although their situation and fate will really depend on each other. Apart from being an event for revenge, the match against Newcastle will be a life and death decision regarding their future fate, I can't wait to see how it will play out.

Monaco basically also played well and could pose a threat to PSG's defense. Gianluigi Donnarumma made a mistake which led to Takumi Minamino's goal which changed the score to 1-1 after a few minutes. Gonçalo Ramos put PSG ahead, but in the end PSG with all its superiority managed to overthrow Monaco's resistance with a score of 5-2.

Of course, this is the result that Luis Enrique hopes for when PSG must win important points. This kind of good performance must be maintained and Luis Enrique also needs to bring a lot of improvements. I didn't watch the game until the end, but to be honest I was a little surprised about PSG's big win against Monaco.

By the way, now Enrique can focus more on the Champions League group phase to host the match against Newcastle later.

Now the focus is against Newcastle. PSG is also playing at home and I think they will get the win as planned. Both teams won their respective matches this week, Newcastle beat Chelsea with a score of 4-1, while PSG beat Monaco 5-2.

[QueenVera]

The match against Toulouse is going to be quite interesting ut Nice will sure come out top of this encounter, Nice are a pretty good side and one side who’ll be a team to watch across Europe, when they play against Toulouse they’ll be having a cool encounter which they probably won’t be having lots of goals and Nice would come out with a narrow goal margin.

 Nice will want to keep their eyes on the league and would want to maintain top position and give PSG a run for their money in a bid having a win against Toulouse will keep them on track, and they have to do all they can to keep the gap between them and PSG close and winning Toulouse would be enough to make that possible, currently they're the only team that's still unbeating let's see if they'll continue to maintain their unbeaten run against Toulouse.

Enrique very serious in the match against Monaco, surely he will very seriously too against squad Eddie Howe at next match. There is no reason to lose, considering their point gap is also very close at that group, so PSG will target winning in that match.
Yeah, PSG have a lot quality player. Anyhow, they have money at there and with that money they can recruit expensive players. But, I think without a great tactician they might have difficulty. Fortunately this season they recruited Enrique, the right man who has a lot of experience, and it seems like also their squad has found good chemistry with Enrique considering PSG performance is getting better.
