French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Godday]

Real Sociedad is PSG's main focus at the moment, even though this match is still quite long, PSG must prepare a strategy carefully because their opponent is not an easy opponent unlike against teams from their league.

I agree with what you said. For now PSG can focus on the match against Real Sociedad in the Champions League because the match in Ligue 1 might not be too difficult for them. It is very important to get points in the first leg because it will give the team a greater chance of qualifying for the next round. Sociedad is not an easy opponent for PSG because of course, even though they are only ranked 6th, they are on a different level to several clubs in Ligue 1.

PSG is of course more focused on the Champions League against Real Sociedad, because PSG's main goal is to win the Champions League even though PSG's strength this season is not yet completely strong enough to face the intense competition in the Champions League. However, with the remaining time remaining, Enrique can maintain the fitness of his players.

This doesn't mean that PSG takes Ligue 1 lightly, but in reality PSG in Ligue 1 is so favored that it even seems as though they will be able to win the Ligue 1 trophy this season. because their competition is only with Nice, and Nice itself is now five points behind PSG, of course Enrique will pay special attention to the Champions League against Real Sociedad.

Lyon's 3 consecutive wins got them out of the relegation zone and in my opinion this is quite natural because a team that has strength like Lyon should not be at the bottom of the standings.
In terms of quality, Lyon's team is not too bad this season, it's just that there are several problems in their team that made them slump at the start of the season.
With what is happening currently I believe Lyon will be able to recover slowly and put it back to its rightful place.

After the worst ever start now they are doing better things and having 3 matches winning streak with their win against Monaco is surely one of the best even now chances are high for them to end in middle of the league table, but this could be also good after having performance like this in first half of the season with in last 17 matches they have just 4 wins and 16 wins which are surely never been impressed performance from them but now look like things are at better level which will be help them for having good spot.

But for the better results they still need to fix their internal issues which were creating problems and also needed better depth in players which will give them confidence for the better performance in coming matches.

the different story if psg was getting a new competitor that can play as good as psg. it will make the competition become even more competitive. i would like to see that league one to become even more competitive like serie a or epl. league 1 really needs to have as many strong club as possible to stop the domination of psg like bayern in bundesliga.

There's a big difference between PSG and Bayern Munich.

PSG do dominating the league, but not completely dominating like Bayern Munich since Bayern Munich haven't lose since the last decade. PSG, as the strongest club in Ligue 1 is struggling in Champions League.

Bayern Munich on the other hands, become one of biggest contender in Champions League.

Bundesliga isn't a weak league, but Bayern Munich was to strong. While PSG is the strongest club among weak clubs.

We have completely different mind-sets at the top level of these both clubs with Bayern Munich is having one of the best system which is giving them profit and better results due to their professionalism but sadly here at the PSG rich Arab owners are trying their best for the win of Champions League just because of their money which is not working for them, but they are still not learning from their mistake and doing mistakes again and again instead of doing positive changes just change of coaches or players are not going to bring better results for them.

Currently, in this season they are having some better things but still it's not enough for the win in Champions League because this need some better strategy and consistency with players chemistry is also needing to be best for having success in Champions League.

UCL begins next year, and we have a couple of days to make it to the new year, I can't wait to watch the top actions from these clubs. The UCL competition is easy for every club but facing a tough opponent will definitely make everything complicated. I know how fierce and prepared PSG have been struggling to be in shape but I guessed PSG boss, Luis Enrique will fill in the void and weaknesses left open by the club. Real Sociedad doesn't seem to be a threat to Paris Saint-Germain but we shouldn't underestimate any opponents because we never might know what's coming our way and there's presence of unexpected results in football.

Against Real Sociedad in Champion League still have many weeks left and I don't sure PSG have to focus on that match because they have many several matches left in Ligue 1 before facing Sociedad. PSG have four matches in Ligue 1 before match against Real Sociedad and have to focus for winning all matches and keep comfortable on the top position standings before focus on Champion League match. I think this season has chance for Real Sociedad qualify to quarter final depend not really strong opponent teams on 16 round as Sociedad, but if can't improving performance in Champion League get possibility for PSG have kick out by Real Sociedad.

In Ligue 1 PSG have advantage with 5 points remaining from Nice, still have many days left before playing again in Ligue 1 and PSG will Toulouse on Trophée des Champions final and few days later will play on French Cup.

The match is still a long way off, but I have confidence that Enrique will have prepared his strategy to face Sociedad. he didn't want to disappoint everyone if PSG had to be eliminated early.
PSG doesn't need to worry about Ligue 1. They will be very dominant and that has happened for several seasons. they will only focus on a few important matches.
I want to see PSG in the Champions League quarter-finals. but we'll see how they try to get that place. all the teams currently are strong.

[fullhdpixel]

PSG has no equal opponent in the French league, so if the coach is not stupid, he will definitely win the French league, PSG's finances are very strong so they can buy any player whose price is expensive though.
PSG in the German league is almost the same as Bayern Munich, the same as PSG almost every season Bayern Munich also always wins the German league.

haha, barely weeks ago, PSG were struggling in the french league, and now you think they have no equals? I think there are quality teams in the french league, they just do not have quality squad depths to compete for the league and they got weakened as the league progresses.

Will PSG win the league? its not certain yet, they are an inconsistent team that just begin to find rhytm and topped the league barely 6 weeks back. Will it continue?
time willl tel

Here I agree, we have some good clubs in French League but sadly due to lack of funds and consistency they are not able to compete with PSG which is having luxury of funds and also able to bring top quality players which can bring changes and success PSG struggles with quality players as well but sadly due to recent decline in all clubs they were able to stay at the top of the league table which is just because of their luxurious owners.

Now how can they do in league it's all depend on their consistency and performance because if they are able to keep things on level then surely, they can go through otherwise Nice and Monaco both are also doing better which are ready to give challenge for the title in this season.

This is not so true but then it's not false either, the matches at Ligue 1 aren't very much competitive and would look not really difficult and moreover they are quite some good points away from the other teams behind them trying to get to the top to be able to displace them. So they have got some fair advantage at the Ligue 1

Focusing on the champions league alone because of the Fair advantage they have got in the Ligue 1 could turn against them in the long run because by the time they will be wanting to get back to focusing well on their domestic league them may be having too may gaps to cover up as some of these teams may have closed the gap too tight they may not be able to maintain good gap away from those team and any mistake may cost them the opportunity of defending the league title as they should have, so it will be best if they're able to maintain the balance and making sure they are not left behind in either of the leagues.

Maybe I'm quite curious about Marseille's next journey because this team is still in 6th position and to reach a place like last season they have to be able to shift several teams above them. I mean their journey this time will not be easy but at least they are having a pretty good season and even though in their previous match they only drew against Montpellier but at least they still got 4 wins in the last 5 matches.

From January to early February next year, Marseille will face 3 quite troublesome opponents, namely Strasbourg, Monaco and Lyon. However, I am very optimistic that Marseille can beat Strasbourg, but not against Monaco and Lyon. The reason is that these two teams are also on the rise and especially for Lyon, even though their current position is still at the bottom of the board, fighting Marseille will certainly remain an arena for prestige between big teams in Ligue 1. Apart from that, I hope Marseille can do their best and don't let it happen. let your guard down with the team.

I think Lyon have given a nice gift to their supporters before entering the New Year. Because they have started to improve finally by winning their last three league games. Doing this was enough to carry them out of the relegation zone as well. The team are still in a danger zone of course but at least this must be some relief for them.

Lyon were able to win three straight games after losing three straight games. The started the season very poorly but they ended the year with good results and if they can build on that they may make it to the Europa play offs. They can even qualify for the Europa league but they're going to work so much to get to that spot because teams like Lens, Strasbourg and Lille want those spots too.
In my honest opinion, I don't think Lyon will get to the top 3 to qualify for the champions league, even the Europa spot would require a miracle. They're currently just 2 points above the relegation zone so they're still a long way from safety, not to talk of European qualifications.

[Synchronice]

Paris Saint Germain is the richest club in French League 1 so there is no doubt about the club's financial strength and the strength of its players because Paris Saint Germain has stronger players when compared to other teams in League 1. So as long as there are no other teams that stronger financially and stronger in terms of players, maybe Paris Saint-Germain will always win league 1 and for other teams it will not be easy to break PSG's dominance.
Therefore, there is no big pressure for PSG in League 1 because their current focus is only on beating Real Sociedad in the last sixteen of the UCL.

Yes, I fully agree with that paris Saint-Germain is like the superhero team in the French League 1. They have the most money and the strongest players, making them really powerful. Imagine they are like superheroes with the best gear. So, in the French League 1, it's kind of like they are the kings because no other team has as much money or as many strong players. This makes it easier for them  keep winning the league. Right now, they're not feeling stressed in the French League 1 because they are more focused on a big mission defeating Real Sociedad in the UCL. It's like they have a big battle ahead with another strong team, and that's where all their attention is. So, winning the league is cool, but they are also aiming for glory in the Champions League.

Since 2012, there was two times when PSG lost in League 1 final against Monaco in 2016-17 season and then against Lille in 2020-21 season. I think, France needs more powerful teams to make League 1 (Uber Eats) more competitive. I'm sorry but I think that League 1 is a little boring because PSG doesn't have any competitors, it's also boring that PSG always wins. I love La League because of that competition. To be honest, I started to watch League 1 because Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Sergio Ramos, Di Maria, many of my favorite players were playing there.

With what is happening currently I believe Lyon will be able to recover slowly and put it back to its rightful place.

In history, Lyon is one of the popular clubs in League 1 which has always been able to get the best position in the top 10 in the points table and this season has only experienced a few problems that have not been solved and the 3x wins can give a sign that Lyon will soon recover and soon rise to the top. previous ranking.
It is very sad to see popular club that has been in the relegation zone since the start of the season. Lyon has lost its best performance, but I am sure that Lyon will be able to improve its best performance because now we have entered the second half of the season and we must immediately fix every problem.
In fact, it not only Lyon who is experiencing this problem, previously Lens had a bad start to the season but also managed to climb to 7th place and this could provide motivation to Lyon if the popular club does not deserve to be at the bottom of the points table and must immediately improve its reputation.

Sociedad can be considered as a strong opponent even though it was struggling in la liga. There is still a better task to be done by PSG. The club is going to face toulouse in the final of trophee des champions and this is another chance for PSG to get the first trophy from toulouse.
Im thinking about PSG will try to do its best to make sure the club can perform even better to beat toulouse soon. This match is far important compared to the UCL that is still far away. We shall back to the main topic.
The match against lens will be coming at 15 january. The better thing if we are focusing into the upcoming match of PSG. Toulouse will not let PSG to win the match easily. Revel is also waiting for PSG in the french cup.
There will be busy schedules for PSG in the upcoming match. We are only a few days away from the new year. Player is still trying to do their best to enjoy their new year moment soon.

Of course, that games vs Sociedad also really looking forward to watch by fans of PSG, and Luis Enrique must prepare the right strategy for the UCL match vs Sociedad. Fortunately, the French Ligue 1 is not a big challenge for Enrique, because it is supported by the depth of the PSG squad which is quite good.
Also, fortunately not many strong competitor teams in Ligue 1, currently only Nice and Monaco which is close to PSG in terms of points. But in my opinion these both teams are still unable to catch PSG in the standings table, because PSG in the second half of this season maybe they will be able to collect a lot of points.

Real Sociedad is not a threat team for PSG in the 16th round of the Champions League because ya, basically PSG still has better quality compared to Real Sociedad. It doesn't matter about Real Sociedad won group D in the Champions League group phase, beating Inter and Benfica because after all, the team in the group with PSG is clearly more difficult because it is also said to be a hell group.

So yes, it seems strange if PSG should put a high focus just to play against Real Sociedad because ya, of course on paper PSG can be sure to win against Real Sociedad later. Therefore, then of course PSG will still remain focused also in Ligue 1, because of course Ligue 1 is the first priority for PSG to get the trophy every season.

Well, at least they're on a winning streak to end the year. Their work is stil very heavy to be able to move from the threat of the red zone, their position is just above the red zone by colecting 16 point which has a diference of 2 points from the club below them, Toulouse. They need to make a good start to the year, that could see them slowly leave the threat of the botom half behind. The poor start they've had has inevitably put them in the bottom half now. But considering the games are still quite a lot it is still very much enough to bring them at least to midtable, provided their prformance improves. The worry is that just when their form is improving, the league stops and it's a long time before their first game of the year, the worry is when they return to their early season form.

Marseille is one of the best clubs in Ligue 1 after PSG and they were not good in this season like few others, but now they are doing good which bring them to the 6th spot which is surely good comeback with now they are having tough challenging time because if they want to have better spot in this season like last season then needs to improve quality and play with consistency which can helps them 6 points difference from third spot Monaco is surely looking not tough on papers with few top clubs are losing their consistency and performance with this all most chances they are able to have chance for the jumping at this point but still not easy.

Lille dropping points and Brest is playing like surprise package mean things are in good shape and if they are able to have something positive from these three matches then surely it's going to be easy for them Strasbourg having three matches winning streak before break and Monaco and Lyon are also trying to give their best in rest of the season.

This is the main problem faced by french league. Psg was leading the competition without even a single team that was able competing against it. No doubt that this league is just another farmer league. Psg will be dominating this league may be more than 1 decade like bundesliga which had been dominating by bayern.
There shall be billionaire who can join in the french league then try to acquire the club in league 1.
Having saudi billionaire to acquire a club in french league will be very interesting. i hope that there will be a new investor to join in the league 1. Psg is obviously needs a new competitor. it was only against the weak club. nothing surpirse to see psg was always winning the league.


the different story if psg was getting a new competitor that can play as good as psg. it will make the competition become even more competitive. i would like to see that league one to become even more competitive like serie a or epl. league 1 really needs to have as many strong club as possible to stop the domination of psg like bayern in bundesliga.

The French League is another farmer’s league that is always carried home by PSG. They’ve nice investments that could help them keep dominating the league for a while another instance is Bayern in the German League. For another team, to come and dominate they’ll be needing massive recruitments and investments so as to be able to match PSG in terms of squad depth and all.

 That will also make the league an interesting one and increase the fierce competition in the league and probably make PSG get more serious in Europe too. Just like Bayern Leverkusen and Dortmund is doing to Bayern Munich In the bundesliga, if another Mediocre team start doing very well and put a threat to their title race you'll see them sitting up to doing better and try to maintain their records and history.

Lyon has earned more points in their last 3 matches than the rest of the season. They won 3 matches in a row putting them out of the relegation zone. But this should not be their position and situation considering their history as a club. They are one of the best clubs in France and have a good history. Them being in the relegation zone is not what was supposed to happen in the first place. Their next match is against Le Havre and if they can win it, it can get them 2-3 positions ahead and let them be clear of relegation fears right now.
