French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[klidex]

I think it is too early to talk about some things, but we would not be wrong if we say that PSG will win the league. I don't think there will be a team that can stop them in the French league, both in terms of squad quality and the squad harmony they have achieved in recent weeks. Monaco will race for second place, but strong rivals await it. Lille is one of them, and those who make fewer mistakes at the end of the year will be at the top.

But this is the most boring guess someone can come up with Of course PSG will win the league and if they don't it is nothing short of an embarrassment. So yes theoretically we have to say that it is like close to 100% sure because you can never know for certain, but Monaco and Nice are both not stable enough to compete with PSG over the course of a whole season. Everyone hoping for a new Ligue 1 title winner is doomed to be disappointed.

There's nothing wrong if anyone wants a club that can break PSG's dominance in League 1, but we can't really predict it if only at the start of the season because even though PSG is not very stable at the start of the season, towards the middle PSG will appear aggressive and be able to beat their rivals and back to leading league 1.
Even though it was initially hoped that Nice could become champions in League 1 this season, it cannot be confirmed yet. We should not get our hopes up because there are still many matches to come. We can speculate when we reach the middle or 1/8 of the journey by looking at the club's performance so far. season then we can guess who will win the title, but if we speculate at the start of the season it is wrong because there are still changes in rankings and clubs will definitely lose balance when they have played a lot of matches.

Because PSG is already in first place, it means that PSG has returned to its best performance. Now PSG will focus on continuing to win in League 1 so that no club can displace them from first position. I don't think Nice can compete with PSG in the race for the title.

Luis Enrique has only coached PSG this season, so management and fans have to be patient so they can bring their club to be better in the Champions League and of course that won't happen in a short time. Mbappe is one of the best players in the world and it is appropriate for any coach to rely more on him when playing for the team. It was different when Luis Enrique came because he didn't prioritize a single player as support so Mbappe had to work harder to become the player option needed and he showed his quality was much better.

Luis Enrique has made a number of big changes, starting from his approach to players and also how he motivates his players to be responsible when playing for the team. This is something different compared to the previous coach and I am sure that if management provides more time then Luis Enrique will succeed in making PSG better.

yep, its very natural for Enrique to come when he has a reliable player like Mbappe and will rely on this player to continue trying to provide the best score for his team, but there are several situations that I dont like on both sides between Enrique and Mbappe.
like Enrique who should try not to continue relying on Mbappe because his contract will end this season and it is certain that this player will leave and it is very clear that Enrique has really relied on this player from the last few matches Mbappe has always been the main player, never tried with other players and used Mbappe in second half and this is what I mean is that Enrique will have problems after Mbappe leaves PSG because from now on Enrique does not try to rely on other players and also other players really rely on Mbappe when in front of goal he can score but for some reason other players always provide pass the ball to Mbappe to score.

and like Mbappe I dont really like him because as a striker he is a bit arrogant in the match, does not want to try to get the ball but often just waits for a pass from another player.

from all the opinions I have said, let see after Mbappe leaves whether Enrique can take PSG to a higher level.

[topbitcoin]

I don't see a big difference in money in this case because looking at what is happening now the situation remains the same where PSG is still focusing on Mbappe as a fulcrum, it's just that for now Enrique's coaching skills can make things more in terms of performance where Mbappe becomes more flexible to be deployed anywhere which makes this season a little different.

But overall they remain the same in the competitions they play in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League because I don't see much change in them which makes me personally feel there is no noticeable change from PSG.

But on the other hand, don't forget that not only fans expect more but Nasser Al-Khelaifi also expects instant things for whoever the coach is if he feels he is not bringing positive results, he will not hesitate to let the coach go.
Pochettino and Galtier are examples that even though it is still the first season but there is no relaxing word for them because with the money that Nasser Al-Khelaifi gives then he wants something better than before.

It may seem imposing but at the end of the day, money rules so now it's up to Enrique to prove his worth.

In the last five matches, Lyon has won only one, drew one and lost the rest, a  very poor stats that shows so much weakness from their side against they opponent who has a better record in their recent games which makes them appear better then Lyon even if foot ball can come with its uncertainties but then we analyse with the stats.

Marseillea team with an average performance characterized with some inconsistency since this season, personally I see Marseilleto be one team who has turned out to be most inconsistent this season with their performance, they had won only one game in their last five games aswell, they lost two and drew the remaining two but then they appear better then their opponent tonight who is currently in the relegation Sid eof the table and doesn't look like they are getting out any soon.

However, the fact that Lyon is a team that is at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table at the moment, so the judgment about Lyon's match will still be bad at this moment. But about Marseille, basically Marseille has a pretty good record for home match so far this season, because Marseille is unbeaten for home matches this season. Although yes, the truth is that Marseille is the worst team for away matches in this moment, because Marseille has absolutely no wins in away matches. But yes, I think that record does not matter too much because anyway, in this match Marseille is playing at home and of course, Marseille has a very good chance of beating Lyon in this match.

I would have loved to gamble Lyon to win Olympic Marseille in this game but watching Lyon's matches you will understand that they don't even put much efforts in their matches despite the fact that they are at the bottom of the table but they feel so reluctant and even feel more comfortable staying at the bottom of the league table so maybe they are actually preparing for relation as one can't give them odd to win meanwhile they ain't playing to win.

Even though the match ended in 3:0 in favour of the home team Marseille, I think it would be a big risk if you gambled on Lyob to beat Marseille considering their poor form and their performance since the start of the season. Lyon is at the bottom of the table yet they don't show any sign of getting out of the bottom place because they keep losing points and they get worse in every match that they play even when they don't play with big teams. From the performance of Lyon I think they are not escaping the relegation zone by the end of the season so for now they should continue to see how they can get the team back to winning ways.

After the three goals win to nil last night, Marseille finally moved up again to eight position on the league. Thanks to double assist and a goal from Per Emerick Aubameyang as he also made the right runs into the right space in the right time. He's having a total of three goals and fine assist in League 1 which is still quite a small numbers. He should have had a hat trick of assist only if thirty years old Jordan Veretout had score his goal with that pass from Per Emerick Aubameyang. Aubameyang has seen some level of improvement from last season. Nice one.

Just checked the top scorers in league 1 anz it's still Kylian Mbappe doing crazy numbers. That's a great one to picture. He'll definitely be missed when he finally leaves French League Competition.

It is very sad to see Lyon losing every game while this club was actually a top club in the previous season but this season experienced a very deep decline in performance and almost did not have the strength to recover from its bad performance and Lyon's last chance this time was only in the transfer market when it reopens and at that time if Lyon fails again in its efforts to escape relegation there will be no more hope for Lyon and fans will be sad to see Lyon current condition.

Lyon's performance is very sad. One of the most renowned teams in Ligue 1 is Lyon. This team is at the bottom of the points table which is tough. Lyon is performing very badly in every match. One of the reasons for Lyon's poor results is their poor defence. If Lyon's defense was strong, they wouldn't be in such a bad situation. The team could have stayed out of the relegation zone. Lyon management should look at taking the necessary steps to strengthen their defence. If the defense is strong I believe Lyon can stay out of the relegation zone.

Usually in any transfer window, we hear about Mbappe and PSG, and people who think Mbappe is going to leave PSG for another team like Real Madrid and even were waiting to see him sign the contract with Real Madrid but usually stay there and I think again he is going to stay there during the winter and even after the season end Mbappe won't leave PSG.  

It's quite complicated when talking about Kylian Mbappe's future because he has never openly said to the public that he will not extend his contract at PSG or vice versa, so he may stay even though the chances of him leaving Ligue 1 are very likely due to many factors such as his hope of getting a more prestigious title, not only the French league title, and he could only get that when he decided to leave PSG, but will PSG remain an ordinary team in European competition? I don't think it's very likely that they will continue to develop better and become a team to be reckoned with, it just takes time, and perhaps by still having Mbappe at PSG, that hope can be achieved.

I agree with you. There are rumors that Mbappe will not be in Ligue 1. And many say that Mbappe will join Real Madrid. However, Mbappe has yet to officially say that he will not renew his contract with PSG. Mbappe is likely to renew his contract with PSG. Because in the past few seasons we have heard various rumors that Mbappe will not extend his contract with PSG. He will play in Premier League or La Liga. But each time PSG management made tempting offers to Mbappe and Mbappe renewed his contract. This time is likely to see the same thing.

I bet on Marseille winning. And my decision was right. Although some people say something like Lyon has greater motivation because they want to get out of the relegation zone but TBH currently Lyon doesn't have what it takes to win. Their problem is really quite serious. I don't see any change in their game. So I don't think at all about betting on Lyon.

I checked the list of top scorers in Ligue 1 and Mbappe has scored 15 goals! Followed by Akor Adams who scored 7 goals. This was such a big difference between first place and second place. Mbappe is too superior in this league. I think he is the best striker in ligue 1 and one of the best players in the world at the moment, along with Haaland. It would be interesting if Mbappe then left Ligue 1 and joined the Premier League or La Liga.

They need decent players in the January transfer market, otherwise they will be very difficult to rise, this is dangerous if Lyon continues to be in the relegation zone, it could make them out of the league this season, but whether they are rich enough to buy good players later in January, that is the big question.

And the second problem is the improvisation of coaches and players I think there are many misses, thus causing the team to not be able to adapt to the development of the league that is getting better the competitors it affects also in my opinion, if in rethinking whether they need a new coach who is more competent to compete in the league!

Yes, it's boring, but the thing is who thinks Paris Siant Germain won't be champions? I think almost everyone agrees with that. I personally don't mind who will be the champion, but I want to see a very competitive competition that can be done by all clubs and at least make Paris Saint Germain's journey not easy to get the championship. We can see now that the points have begun to widen which means, the chance of Paris Saint Germain becoming champions becomes greater. Nice, which is predicted to provide fierce competition, has in fact begun to decline.

But it looks like Real Madrid will not give up in convincing Mbappe to prefer to finish his contract with PSG then go play for Real Madrid and fight for the La Liga and UCL titles, which are also the only titles that Mbappe really wants.
Real Madrid will submit their final offer in January and will give Mbappe until the middle of the month to agree to the offer and make contract agreement. If this fails then the offer that Real Madrid has submitted will mean it has failed twice.

In the previous transfer window, Real Madrid also offered quite large amount of money to transfer Mbappe, but PSG rejected it and currently the offer is being made directly by Mbappe, not through PSG because Mbappe contract will expire next summer.
It just that it looks like Real Madrid will also enter the Premier League if they fail to get Mbappe, because Haaland is the second option.

PSG is currently at the top with 33 points and if Mbappe really leaves, it is certain that PSG will suffer setback because their main player, Mbappe, who always scores winning goals is no longer with them.

Their problem is really quite serious. I don't see any change in their game. So I don't think at all about betting on Lyon.

As long as the Lyon coach is still like that in directing his players, I also think that it will be easier for Lyon to be relegated at the end of this season because Lyon will not be able to get out of the relegation zone. Because the more Lyon lose in the upcoming matches, the more difficult it will be for Lyon to secure themselves in Ligue1 this season.

I checked the list of top scorers in Ligue 1 and Mbappe has scored 15 goals! Followed by Akor Adams who scored 7 goals. This was such a big difference between first place and second place.

It would be interesting if Mbappe then left Ligue 1 and joined the Premier League or La Liga.

I would prefer if Mbappe wanted to go to the Premier League because there is Haaland who might still be his opponent in terms of any record. But with one condition they are not in the same team so that there is a more interesting competition between the two, but it also won't be worse if Mbappe goes to La Liga as long as he is in the best team.

There has already been some improvement in Aubameyang's performance recently. That hat-trick against Ajax must have improved his morale a lot before anything else. By this great performance in the Lyon game as well he has increased his streak of scoring at least one goal to three games. 1 goal and 2 assists were enough to make him the man of the match.

PSG's next game is against Nantes home. I see another comfortable win for them already. Nice have a home game against Reims on the other hand. I think Nice's job is quite difficult and they might lose two points. Their streak of not losing a game in the league lasted 13 games by the way.

Aubameyang is in top form at the moment and he has helped the Marseille team quite a bit this season. At a young age, his performance is inconsistent, but Aubameyang continues to strive to be able to show his best performance. At the age of 34, Aubameyang is really quite extraordinary now. .

Currently PSG is in its best performance, so I don't think there will be a team in Ligue 1 that can compete with the strength of the PSG team.
Nantes is a mid-table team that has quite good performance, but if you compare it with PSG, I think it will not be balanced and it is possible that PSG will be able to win this weekend's match easily.

A good and confident attacker is definitely what a competitive clubs need to strive for harder projects and scoring becomes a hobby for these attackers that reinforce forces to the frontlines. Scoring an hattricks against a struggling club do actually counts because it's a major tournaments. Pierre Aubameyang is classified as World class player, won titles in the long run, he have played for top clubs and have gained experienced in all major leagues he played for during his prime, don't get it twisted, he's still having an incredible multi level performance in Ligue One.

Giving sentiments to the board, Lyon coach, Jean-François Vulliez should be sacked with immediate effects. A competitive league has little opportunity for plodding clubs, and Lyon is one of those clubs making excuses for their incompetent performance this season. Lyonnias numerical values, 1W 4D 9L this season, a terrible start determines the club's future, and they're now finding harder and harder to catch up with the major teams this season. What else should we be concerned about when it's evident that Olympique Lyon will not escape the relegation zone, despite being the lowest-ranked club in Ligue One?

Congratulations on your bet for choosing Marseille and I failed this bet because I bet on the BTTS result (Yes). Actually, I was quite sure that Lyon would score considering that this was a big match between strong teams in Ligue 1 (despite Lyon's presence in the relegation zone) but the reality was not what I expected. I was quite hesitant to bet on Marseille and what surprised me later was that Lyon was able to beat them.

But that didn't happen in last night's match and it was fitting that Marseille won the derby match entitled Choc des Olympiques. This result moves Marseille up to 8th position and next week will be even more exciting for them. Meanwhile, Lyon must continue to accept the bitter reality of being in the relegation zone and it looks like they will never survive with a difference of 6 points from the closest team currently Strasbourg.

Kylian Mbappe is one of the best attackers in football at the moment and that's why a lot of clubs are trying to convince the France national team captain to sign for their respective clubs including his current club Paris Saint Germaine who are trying all they could to convince him to extend his contract with the club but considering all the rumours surrounding the future if Kylian Mbappe, I'll be very surprised to see him play for Paris Saint Germaine beyond the end if the current European football season. Though he's not officially told us of his next destination, but I think he's gonna go to Real Madrid next summer.

Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez has never hidden his admiration for the France forward and has always tried to bring him to Santiago Bernabeu in the past few years and now that Mbappe's contract with his club PSG iha almost come to an end, he'll surely want to capitalize on the opportunity and sign him. There was also some reports in the media during the summer transfer window, that Mbappe has already reached an agreement to sign for Real Madrid next summer.

Lyon's bad run in the league continues and they can't seem to put an end to it.The constant change of coaches and the only thing that hasn't changed is the defeats.Yesterday, Lyon suffered another defeat, losing 3-0 away to Marseille and it's time to start calculating how to get out of the relegation zone. If they don't try to put an end to this, it will be very difficult for them.Although they had almost equal possession against Marseille, they struggled to create positions, which made it difficult for them to find goals, and when they couldn't score, they had to concede goals.
