French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Weawant]

For me personally, League 1 is not as fun and interesting as other European Leagues. So only PSG always has the potential to be the leader, while the existing clubs have only been able to compete for runners up because that is the only position that can still be contested. It's no wonder why Nice or Monaco are having difficulty catching up with PSG points. And this will forever be PSG reference when entering the Champions League, the opponents they face from other European Leagues will be difficult, because PSG is used to easy games in the Domestic League. So PSG just needs to focus on preparing for the UCL, because in League 1 there is nothing to worry about at all.

I can't agree any lesser with you as I also don't find the Ligue 1 really interesting recently, their patterns continually remains the same as they have turned out very predictive and there's almost nothing new about the league again as everything they do is just more like what has always happened and there's no longer anything real intriguing about the league.

I can say at some point they the Ligue 1 has turned a mediocre league and that's why asides PSG no of the teams from Ligue 1 tries to do well in other leagues where they participate this season and even other seasons,q the dominance of PSG continually looks unstoppable in the Ligue 1 and I can say for fact across Europe it's now one of the most boring leagues unlike the bundesliga which was almost the same but has recently taken a different shape and is now looking better than it has ever been and even beyond the bundesliga the teams are doing well already.

I hope that one day Ligue 1 will be able to create a competitive match with other teams that are able to compete with PSG. PSG is very strong in the league and it can make them almost never depressed against other teams in the league. Although he had experienced one defeat, but it could not be used as a reference that said there was a strong team in Ligue 1 that was able to defeat PSG. So the PSG match with Real Sociedad will be interesting to watch.

There are two weeks to go for the next game week. I see there is a Lens - PSG game on January 14 and it could be an interesting one as well.    Because Lens have a good record against PSG in home games for a long time. Lens aren't the same as the previous season now though. Their placement is quite below that season however their recent form is quite nice.

Who knows maybe Lens might even be the second team to beat PSG in the league this season. The only team to do that have been Nice so far. This could be an opportunity for Nice to get closer as well but they will also need to beat Rennes away.

I completely understand why you feel that way about Ligue 1. There are times when PSG seems to be playing a different style than the other teams in the league. Even though they are very strong, their domination makes the title race kind of predictable. It seems like it could be good or bad for PSG. Sure, they can breeze through their local league, but not having to deal with tough opponents every week might not be the best way to get ready for the UCL. Comparing easily beating mid-table French teams to playing teams like Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in Europe is a big difference. For PSG, I'm interested to see if they can change their game when it matters the most

I completely agree with what you said, we are in exactly the same opinion. That's why the French league is not enjoyable at all. On one side there is a strong team with a lot of money, and on the other side there are teams that are in their own right. The champion is always clear.
We also see how poor their performance is in European matches, so it is not fun to watch. Still, I try to follow it as much as possible. If you want to watch a truly entertaining league, France is not the place to look

Ligue 1 has several strong teams. Monaco, Lille and Marseille have strong teams. But the problem  is that there is no club as rich as PSG. There may be rich owners. However, the amount of money  that PSG management  is interested in spending for their club, the owners of other clubs are not interested in spending so much money. This is why in Ligue 1 we only see PSG  dominate every season. Other clubs lag far behind PSG. PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 will be much more difficult to break unless clubs prepare big funds and add talented players to their squads.

At least a few seasons ago, Lillie managed to become champion to temporarily break PSG's dominance and that was a fairly tight season because there was only one point difference between the first-place team and the second-place team.
And this season, several teams that are usually strong competitors for PSG have appeared inconsistent, such as Monaco and Nice, who have suffered two defeats after managing to become unbeaten teams in 13 matches.
If there are rich investors who buy other clubs in Ligue 1, the competition will become tighter and we will not always see PSG dominating because there will be other teams who have the same strength to become champions, and that will make this league even more interesting because every season it will be difficult to guess which team will become champion.

point difference is currently still very close between PSG, Nice and Monaco. this close point difference can still be said to be quite competitive and Monaco and Nice can still be considered the strongest challengers for PSG or unless PSG provides a large enough point difference and that's when Monaco and Nice will no longer be strong challengers for PSG.
but what I see is that PSG itself is still not consistent enough in the previous few matches, sometimes they still lose or only get a draw and if PSG doesn't immediately improve their performance like last season, it will definitely be very difficult to get to the top of the standings because Monaco or Nice, even though they are not consistent, but the difference in points is still very close and PSG position is not safe enough.

Lille in the past may have been quite strong but this season it can even be overtaken by Brest which is very surprising, consistently rising to a ranking above Lille and its achievements are quite good, getting 4 wins from the last 5 matches and it seems that this season in League 1 there are still a lot of changes because there are many teams that still have unstable performance, even small teams can rise to the top of the standings.

To me, Ligue 1 lacks the competitive edge of other European leagues. PSG's domination has made the league a one-horse race, which bores fans like us who like more balanced competition. Even talented clubs like Nice and Monaco appear to always fight for second place. I think this hurts the league's entertainment value and PSG. The Champions League pits them against teams from tougher domestic competitions. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are competitive teams, which may explain why PSG struggles on the big stage. Their local easiness may set them up for challenges in Europe, where the playing field is much tougher.

We can't complain about this in French League One, In France they have a team like PSG and they have lots of money in the team to send for hiring new players and other teams don't, That's why PSG is usually the first team of the table, while there is the same sitatuioninBudesliga and usually we see Bayern Munich win in the league because other teams can't have the same amount of investments for their teams.
However, the main reason for people to complain about the Fnrehc league is the other teams, because other teams don't have rich owners like PSG does to supply money for them.

League 1 is a more boring league because only PSG always dominates the title and other teams cannot perform consistently like PSG. Indeed, initially at the start of the season the teams in League 1 were able to appear impressive but as time went by these teams began to decline so that PSG can returned to first place until the end because PSG tends to give other teams time to put pressure on them, but in reality this is not a big pressure for PSG because PSG can still condition their performance. This is what makes it difficult for PSG to face the big teams in the UCL because PSG performance is actually not impressive as the big teams. If PSG were in another league like the EPL, PSG might not be as strong as it was in League 1.

[Weawant]

Ligue One is longer rated important as before and it has falled from the top when it comes to rating. Paris Saint Germain is precisely the main club that have been doing quite well in the league consistently and have dominated the winning of becoming Champions over these past years. Winning another Ligue One trophy this season will not counts, rather PSG have to continue been inform and fight for another major title, they should ensure to be in the books for champions of  the UEFA Champions League and not some acquainted domestic league title.

As a matter of fact I think PSG is still the only team attracting some attention to the Ligue 1 els most attention would have been moved from there because they are not looking as interesting as they should be enough to get people to put their attention in the Ligue 1 other teams in the Ligue 1 are not able to bring home the competition enough to get attention.

The German bundesliga had a similar scenerio where only Bayern Munich dominated for jus too long and until recently when Leverkusen and others rose up to the competition and now everyone is in anticipation who will turn out winner of the trophy by the end of the season, if only another team can rise to competing against PSG such that PSg will be displaced, the anticipation will drive more attention to the league as the era of PSG's dominance is coming to and end most persons will wat to witness it but then it's very much possible if Nice and other team can put their minds to giving it   a trial.

Yeah, we can do nothing about that. We can only watch PSG to win league one anytime like when bayern was winning its 11th trophies in a row which was so amazing. These clubs were fully funded by money and that's the thing that's not owned by other club.
Im really happy seeing some small clubs were still able earning from the competition even though we are always seeing the same club to win the trophy anytime. Just hope there will be some major investors to join in the french league.
Im guessing that PSG's investors were coming to the league one caused by investing their money on PSG would be giving them all guarantee for UCL spot and trophy since there was not strong club except PSG.

If PSG were in another league like the EPL, PSG might not be as strong as it was in League 1.

I think everyone feels the same way as you and it is a fact that PSG is always able to dominate Ligue 1 and feels normal and there is nothing exciting every season. Other teams, like the participants, are taking part in this competition and that doesn't change anything. The competition at the start of the season always offers interesting things and even weak teams also have the opportunity to feel at the top but unfortunately that doesn't last long and over time everyone experiences a decline in performance so PSG will once again occupy the throne.

It's no longer a secret that PSG in the Champions League is an ordinary team because they are not used to the competition in Ligue 1, so when they play against teams that have high intensity in this competition, they always go home faster. Never mind in the EPL, maybe even in the Italian Serie A, maybe PSG won't be able to do anything because the champions there change every season.

[Pesona1]

Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga have something in common, namely that they are only dominated by one or two big clubs that have strong finances, this is the reason many people don't like the league because in the end we can guess who will championship at the end of the season, currently Ligue 1 is the same as the previous season, namely PSG is always at the top of the standings leaving its opponents quite far behind, while the Bundesliga is starting to be a little different and now there is starting to be resistance from Leverkusen, although I am a little pessimistic if Leverkusen will be able to survive until the end of the season, which I am quite I'm surprised at this time why investors or sheikhs seem to prefer big clubs for them to invest money in Ligue 1, even though if the Middle Eastern sheikhs wanted to acquire small clubs it would certainly increase competition in Ligue 1, and regarding the income of small clubs in ligue and bundesliga, it seems their income nothing other than from selling the current star players.

Never mind in the EPL, maybe even in the Italian Serie A, maybe PSG won't be able to do anything because the champions there change every season.

That's the fact that PSG always dominates Ligue 1 because there is no truly consistent challenger to get rid of PSG at the top of the standings and I'm sure they will win the title this season for the umpteenth time. That's why PSG has never succeeded in the UCL because they don't really have opponents. which is balanced in Ligue 1 which makes them have more ability to compete in the UCL, fortunately they qualified for the next round only because of goal difference.

But their luck in qualifying for the next round does not guarantee that they will last long there because they will meet opponents who will make them bend their knees in the end, for example, Madrid and Munich, especially Manchester City as the defending champion, of course it will be difficult for them to face. I'm not sure Mbappe and his friends will be able to reach the UCL semi-finals this season.

So yes, of course PSG will still dominate Ligue 1 because it is true, that no team in Ligue 1 has finances as big and as good as PSG . Therefore, it will be difficult for other teams in Ligue 1 to make PSG fail to win the title, because PSG has more quality from many factors than other teams in Ligue 1.

But unfortunately, even though PSG is the best team in Ligue 1 but ya, the reality is that PSG still does not have a promising ability to play further in the Champion League. Although last season PSG had Messi and Neymar in the squad but yes, the reality is that PSG still failed in the Champions League. Therefore, I am personally curious, what kind of squad and or players will be able to bring PSG to be able to advance further in the Champions League at least to the semifinal match or maybe in the final match even though they are not champions.

The thing that surprises me to see how this league is also having a lot of viewers. Although I am uncertain about the primary motive, it appears that they have their own personal justification for watching this farmer league. Watching french league is pretty much the same like when i was watching a club that is playing on its own league. This is the main problem that needs to be solved soon. The question arises as to whether league 1 truly requires someone of the caliber of PSG's chairman, who has been injecting massive amounts of money into the club. Im giving this league to have average rating. In the upcoming match, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is set to go up against Toulouse, and the likelihood of them winning the match is quite high. Toulouse was one of bad team in the french league.

When I talk about this, I imagine if they were in the Premier League, would they be on par with the mid-table clubs? Lol
But I think the competitive level of a league will also affect them a lot. Maybe they are the way they are now because they feel so comfortable that they bring that comfort to tougher competitions, like the Champions League. That's certainly not a good thing at all, because Ligue 1 and the Champions League are very different. In LIgue 1 they might not have to think about what their fate is, whereas in the Champions League they can't do that.
Now if they are in the Premier League, inevitably they also have to improve, because if they behave like when they are in Ligue 1 they might become a club that is threatened with relegation. So the conclusion is that the competitive level of the league affects their behavior.

[bestcoins1]

I hope that one day Ligue 1 will be able to create a competitive match with other teams that are able to compete with PSG. PSG is very strong in the league and it can make them almost never depressed against other teams in the league. Although he had experienced one defeat, but it could not be used as a reference that said there was a strong team in Ligue 1 that was able to defeat PSG. So the PSG match with Real Sociedad will be interesting to watch.

Real Sociedad could have been a fairly equal opponent for PSG, but unfortunately this happened outside Ligue1 so it didn't have any effect on Ligue1. Other teams in Ligue1 do not have enough money to bring in great players like PSG does, so it is natural that other teams in Ligue1 are not able to match PSG's strength and cause PSG to continue winning in Ligue1 every season. And I think maybe there are many people who want another team to be able to make it difficult for PSG in Ligue 1, but that hasn't happened until this season.

Toulouse was one of bad team in the french league.

The situation in Ligue 1 and Bundesliga is very similar. However, Bundesliga teams are slightly stronger than Ligue 1 teams. But Bundesliga is dominated every season by Bayern Munich and Ligue 1 is dominated by PSG every season. Both of these teams are richer than any other team in their league.

PSG has a lot of money. And the PSG owner is also keen to spend a lot of money. So the best squad of Ligue 1 is made by PSG team every season. Other teams in the league don't have as much money as PSG. So they cannot add talented and star players to the squad. As a result naturally every season we see the dominance of PSG.

But most of those spectators were PSG fans or Lyon and Marseille fans before PSG became what it is now. That's if you mean the audience on television. I think the owner of the PSG club is disbursing very large funds as a form of long-term investment and we can see that even though PSG's performance is not good in international matches, they are still a club with quite a lot of fans in the world.
