French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Jody.Drummer]

Miracles exists but people that will have miracle will still be having doubts on that which they’ve had miracle on before because of the nature of the situation. PSG where not able to win the champions league when they had star players like Neymar, Messi and Mbappe in one team, why then now? They are doing well in the ligue 1 and that have given them an advantage over other teams in the league. But their performance in the league is not what is been replicated in the champions league. They need to replicate that if they want to go far in this season’s champions league. But just by miracles, I doubt if it will work for them and work in their favour.

PSG is a team that often enters the Champions League every season, although until now PSG has still not been able to win the Champions League title. Because in terms of football, it would be very wrong if a team only depended on a miracle that might come to them in a big competition like the Champions League. Winning a lot in Ligue1 does not guarantee that a team can easily become champions in the Champions League and this has been experienced several times by PSG. And this season it looks like it will be the same because currently there are not many star players at PSG who can change PSG's performance to be better than before.

They are always in the Champions League because they have no competitors that can take their place in Ligue 1, I can say with confidence that they will always be in the Champions League before other clubs here can raise their level to the same level as Paris Saint Germain.
The fact is that they don't have a single Champions League title to date with all the times they've been here. They are still lagging behind other clubs from different leagues, especially when comparing them to clubs from the English League or Spanish League.
I think the competitive level in the domestic league also affects their performance in the Champions League in the end. Because they get pressure that they are not used to during the domestic league.

I would say the main reason Lens lost in this match was not  being able to score from a penalty chance in the seventh minute. If the Lens players could score from the penalty and take a 1-0 lead, the PSG players would be under more pressure. And it would have been more difficult for PSG's players to break down the Lens defence. But Frankowski missed the easy opportunity. And Barcola scored from Mbappe's assist in the 30th minute. However, once Lens's defender gets a red car, Lens's gameplay slows down. Winning against a strong opponent like PSG with 10 players was a much more difficult task. And naturally PSG got an easy win in this match.

PSG won 2-0 against Lens. A penalty 8 minutes into the match could have definitely been the turning point for Lens if they could have scored that penalty. I wouldn't say that Lens would have won against PSG if they scored that penalty, but if they didn't win, this match would have been more likely to be a draw. If Lens had scored in the first eight minutes, Lens would have gone ahead and PSG would have had a goal to repay them at any cost, for which they would have counter-attacked and focused more on scoring. Whenever a team goes up to score, the opposing team has an opportunity to score against that team. However, Mbappe's finish was superb at the end and his goal ensured PSG's win against Lens. 
However, Lens must work on their mistakes and the manager must work to ensure that at least penalty kicks are not missed in the next important match.

But the penalty 8 minutes into the match doesn't take into account that PSG could switch gears and play even harder if necessary. The issue is that they don't have to do it. But this doesn't mean they can save hard work for a whole season in Ligue 1, it only means that they never get challenged and are then overwhelmed when they play in the Champions League.

Mbappe's finishes are quite often superb, but he is in the wrong league.

PSG has been doing great this season like other seasons and PSG is in great shape this season. It is true that defeat in this match would not have prevented PSG from moving forward but Lens had the chance to do well against PSG but they did poorly in a few common areas which led to them not doing well in the match.

Mbappé is in Europe ok but he really is spending time in the wrong league. I have been saying since the beginning that this league is the best for Mbappe, La Liga or the English Premier League is the best for Mbappe and from there, if he plays for Liverpool or Real Madrid, his performance will be even worse.
Mbappé's ability to decide which club to stay at rests entirely with him so why is he still stuck in this league when there are so many good things waiting for him in other leagues.

Luis Enrique has the ability to present the Champions League trophy to PSG, and this has been proven in his previous period with Barcelona. I also believe that Enrique can do it again with PSG if he is trusted in a long term project. We know that winning this trophy is not easy, that's why PSG management must give Enrique time to build a squad that has the mentality of winning in Europe, like Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

He needs to make big changes in several sectors, especially the policy of buying players according to the team's needs and perhaps management support is really needed so that the project runs well. Without this support, it would be impossible for Luis Enrique to be able to give the fans something they want because having world-class players may not necessarily lead them to become one of the strongest teams in Europe. Management also needs to see how Manchester City owners make big changes so that they succeed in winning the Champions League under the guidance of Pep Guardiola.

Here the role of management is the most prominent and even though Luis Enrique has a more proportional target player, as long as management does not agree to it, the transfer will not take place. We know that for years PSG's management system has only focused on star players and perhaps since last summer they have started to change their minds about being able to develop them through the young talents they have brought in. They still haven't gotten rid of their addiction to Mbappe and they are willing to waste a lot of money just to keep their star player.

If the money could be allocated to other players and right on target, maybe they would be much more different and not just be the rulers of Ligue 1. I think it is necessary to look at several successful European teams that have developed young talent which PSG must also follow if they are serious about winning the champions league title and becoming rulers of Europe for the first time.

I think that PSG could definitely have done better with the money and the players that they have. But there is definitely a chance for that to happen. Especially in this season. Because now they have a coach that is actually capable. And the coach has proved himself before with Barcelona. But the thing is, the Barcelona squad at that time was very much balanced. A lot more balanced compared to the current PSG team for sure.

So I don't know if he will be able to achieve everything with PSG. But I am pretty sure that he will be able to achieve better things compared to what PSG has been doing so far before him.

If it's about the Champions League then yes, I honestly wouldn't believe in miracles but if it's about other leagues, then of course miracles can still happen . Because yes, about the trophy and or the title of the Champion League in fact always obtained by the best team in the season with the great efforts it has, and of course they do not just rely on luck and or miracles to get it . So yes, about PSG still failing in the Champions League, then of course it still requires PSG to be able to build a better team and management to get better results in the Champions League.

Nobody in the league will catch up to PSG, the league is already over, to be fair it was over even before the season started but there were some discussions about Mbappe not playing and having trouble and all that. When that was over and he started to play ,the locker room dangers and troubles  of the club was over and they became great again. This league will continue to be dominated by them, thank god that Lille won once in the middle, or we would have probably something longer than what Bayern has done.

I believe that they are going to end up with PSG just getting titles and titles for many years, ligue one needs some other rich person to buy some club, otherwise it is not going to really work out well for them, it will not be a good result.

When Paris Saint Germaine weren't performing well at the start of the season in the French league, many people were of the opinion they're not gonna probably win the league title but I had a different thought about the team and that's because of the top quality players in the squad. There were so many news concerning Kylian Mbappe's future then as he didn't start the season with the squad but after everything was resolved and it was certain that he's gonna play the full season the team started winning games again which helped them go top of the league table.

Without taking anything away the other teams in the league, I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop Paris Saint Germaine from winning the French Ligue 1 at the end of the season.

When talking about the problem of champions and when this is connected with PSG then there is really no more discussion that can be discussed because however for now it is different. There are still some surprise clubs that may catch up if they perform well but until now PSG has been better even than last season where they are now comfortable and I still feel that they will not be touched until the end of the season with the current situation.

Ligue 1 is still the same where the clubs for the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League and the clubs that will be relegated this season will always be more interesting to discuss when compared to who will win because however it is no longer debatable for who will be the champion because in the end everything will remain the same as usual no matter how bad PSG is at the beginning of the season it will not affect them.

But the penalty 8 minutes into the match doesn't take into account that PSG could switch gears and play even harder if necessary. The issue is that they don't have to do it. But this doesn't mean they can save hard work for a whole season in Ligue 1, it only means that they never get challenged and are then overwhelmed when they play in the Champions League.

Mbappe's finishes are quite often superb, but he is in the wrong league.

If there are many people who say Mbappe is currently in the wrong league, this should have been said long ago. Because Ligue1 is not as famous as other leagues such as in England and Italy, but at least Mbappe is already known to many people through Ligue1 and still has time to move to another league if he really wants it this season or the next season. PSG looks strong only because their opponents are not balanced enough in Ligue 1, but when they compete in the Champions League I think the story will be very different because PSG could lose to another stronger team.

He has been told this long ago from all fronts if I remember correctly. I can't remember a single voice that said he made the right decision when again and again he stayed longer at PSG and accepted new contracts with better conditions.

But now it seems that PSG will prepare a yet unprecedented offer and they want to try to convince him again. It is probably far over 100 million in salaries and could involve gratifications for his family as well. Real Madrid won't be able to compete with that but I hope he doesn't go for it and finally joins a club where he belongs to.

[QueenVera]

Because the teams they face in the Champions League differ in terms of strength, they are all a collection of the strongest teams in their respective leagues, which makes it difficult for PSG to always compete and become a team to be reckoned with in the tournament.
Buying expensive players is not enough, there must be development of a good team like Chelsea before they became the team they are today or like Manchester City which needed many seasons with Pep Guardiola before they finally became champions.
And this season there hasn't been any major changes seen at PSG, it's evident that they haven't had a very smooth journey in the group phase and when they manage to qualify Luiz Enrique will face a more difficult match, but they will be able to reach the quarter-finals but the semifinals and finals are not clearly visible to them.


PSG will face Orleans in the French Cup match, like they destroyed Revel this will also be a very easy match for PSG, and it would be surprising if PSG playing with full strength like the match against Revel and Luiz Enrique should let his core players rest to avoid injuries due to the match others are more important and require full strength.

Well buying expensive players doesn’t real make a team successful but rather investing in that team for a long project will. Yes, investment will make the team not just successful but be able to stand the test of time and that’s the success stories of most teams

 For PSG, that’s why they’re not too successful in Europe because those other clubs are far superior than them in terms of squad depth and not just the big names. Well for the French League amd cup it’s always an easy one for them, PSG will keep dominating and I already see them in the final of the French cup and them winning the league is pretty imminent. But they’ve need to invest and build a formidable team if they real want to achieve Gold in Europe

[tusandii]

I have been notice Brest achievement this season because they have a potention to finish at higher positions on league standings compared to last season and their performance much impressive now because from 10 latest matches in all competitions Brest can able to gets 7 wins and only lose twice even from those matches Brest can gets 6 cleansheet and from these statistics we can see Brest has strong balanced to attack and defense and if they can able to managed their performance until end of this season i think they have a good chance to finish at top 5 and playing at European competitions which is this was never done before

Previously Brest target is only to avoiding relegation zone because the owner know it's hard to compete with big teams just like Monaco, Lille or Marseille for european zone but surprisingly Brest has fantastic performance this season and until week 18 Brest have already to collect 34 points with only gets 4 loses but after fight against FC Trélissac at France Cup Brest will gets hard match next weekend because they have to fight against PSG and most likely Brest will suffering their 5th loses from this match because we all know PSG is unstoppable at this league and it's very hard to beat them

Since being promoted again 4 years ago, Brest has been able to get very good results this season, it looks very strong, has strong consistency and it seems like what you said, Brest seems to have no difficulty competing in League 1 and the only difficulty that is considered difficult is competing against PSG and Monaco but with other clubs Brest was able to get a draw and win.
I'm just curious about how far this club can maintain its performance, whether can last until the end the season or just temporarily.
If you look at the depth of Brest players, it looks like this club will appear consistent until the end of the season and playing against Trelissac is very easy task.

Nice is not yet convincing enough to catch up with PSG, which currently has a difference of 8 points. I don't think Nice is trivial, but PSG is indeed a super power team compared to the teams you mentioned. So it's no wonder that this season PSG will win Ligue 1 easily again.

Correct. It could be that for Mbappe, this will be his last year with PSG because rumors are growing that he will leave after this season finishes. Of course PSG fans want to see that before Mbappe leaves, PSG must win the UCL League. Even though PSG are not currently favorites, there is no harm in hoping that a miracle will come for PSG this season.

Eight points difference will means PSG loosing three straight matches and Nice winning three straight matches aswell but then this is almost impossible to happen because both team can't have such results straight at a time but you can be sure PSG will definitely win at least one of any threw games they play in the Ligue 1.

On the whole of the Ligue 1 PSG is more superior to any other team in the Ligue 1. Mbappes stay in PSG at this point is very likely not definite because there has been no absolute information about his leaving or staying so far but then it's very likely he will not be staying beyond this season but then it's very possible if he doesn't get to see a better offer out there he my want to settle awhile in PSG again, so far it seems like his Real Madrid deal isn't going to take place more. Very likely PSG may win the Ligue 1 title this season again and it definitely won't be surprising as they have been doing it too often and it's almost becoming a norm.

Even if that is the case, there is no definite guarantee. but there's no harm in taking part in every match presented in this competition, especially those that involve betting. However, there are still several teams that will compete fiercely, at least in the race for runner up ranking below PSG. Nice, Brest, AS Monaco and Lille still have the potential to overtake each other throughout this competition. and that match was more exciting than watching PSG play against an Underdog team. however, that doesn't mean PSG will progress smoothly, as this competition still has a lot of matches left. PSG could occasionally slip, especially if they focus more on the Champions League.

However, I still agree that the probability of PSG dominating this competition is very high. moreover, their performance is in a positive trend in Ligue 1. Well, currently rumors are still confusing about Mbappe whether he will stay or eventually leave and move to another club and league. but if he ends up leaving, that means Enrique will have to prepare a replacement. and I think PSG has anticipated it, if in the end their star really leaves. Let's just follow what Ligue 1 presents, but so far there are no investors who are really interested in becoming PSG's competitors in Ligue 1. Except, there are other Arab princes who are interested in buying one of the clubs and growing it. thus, PSG will have competitors. The problem is, what are they looking for in Ligue 1. Because most are more interested in other leagues, especially the Premier League.

[wmaurik]

PSG is a team in a rebuild phase; with Neymar, Messi and other players gone and other talisman and this doesn't mean that they cannot win the champions league at all.  If they can trust the young process with Luis Enrique; they can have a shot at the champions league.

Now, PSG have to plan for Mbappe exit to Real Madrid and focus on their rebuild squarely.

Every season there must be a better focus with better achievement targets than the previous season by each team, including PSG as well. However, this will not necessarily become easier for any team because in the Champions League, each team has to fight more differently in order to be successful and win the trophy. And so far PSG still hasn't achieved that because there are so many other great teams that are their opponents, so it is often difficult for them to become champions there.

[Leviathan.007]

Nordi Mukiele the player of PSG is about to leave the team and he is going to continue his career in Budesliga. Bayern Munich is trying to improve the team and that's why they want to hire Nordi Mukiele but this player is still under contract with PSG they re just having negotiations to have Nordi Mukiele on loan until the end of this season and during this time Bayern Munich will fully pay his salary.

Without taking anything away the other teams in the league, I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop Paris Saint Germaine from winning the French Ligue 1 at the end of the season.

Because in this case they were too obsessed with dark horse clubs like Nice and Monaco and of course this is an expression of a little disappointment because some of their players like Neymar and Messi who did leave and the problem of Mbappe who did not improve at that time but in the end a season is still long and they are getting better over time with some players who in my opinion were quite successful in Enrique's recruitment in his first season coaching PSG.

Ramos is still a pretty good option as an attacker and of course we know that Mbappe has been tamed which is very good for them to be able to navigate the season well because after the ultimatum given by PSG to Mbappe ended, 17 matches Mbappe did in Ligue 1 and 19 goals that managed to get it proves that he is still a predator even though the place is not too suitable because it is only in Ligue 1.

Due to the fact that there is no certainty whether Mbappe will leave PSG or not, Real Madrid is putting pressure on Mbappe, Real Madrid is trying to put pressure on Mbappe. Carlo Ancelotti's team wants Mbappe to provide a written guarantee that he will move to Santiago Bernabeu. In fact, the 25 year old striker's contract will soon expire on June 30 2024. Thus, Mbappe can now hold talks with other clubs. Mbappe instead wants to focus on defending PSG first until the end of this season.

in the French Cup PSG successfully beat Revel with a score of 9-0 and a few days ago PSG succeeded in beating Lens with a score of 2-0, from what I see PSG is now very stable, there are no negative issues that are emerging at the moment, it is very different when there are 3 stars who are strikers there, Mbappe is indeed a striker who prefers to be the main focus alone so the departure of Messi and Neymar to other teams outside of Ligue 1 really makes his mentality good.
In this transfer market, there doesn't seem to be any significant changes, Enrique is satisfied with his current squad, it just depends on how Enrique provides strategies when playing.

PSG's encounters with teams like Nice and Monaco can be seen as a positive development for French football that fosters competitiveness and unpredictability. Neymar and Messi leaving PSG and Mbappe's situation indeed posed challenges. The adaptation of new players and strategies can impact performance initially, but as seen in PSG's case, there is evidence of improvement over time. Enrique's ability to identify players who contribute positively to the team's performance is a key aspect of a manager's role. This success bodes well for PSG's prospects as the season progresses.

Ramos as a viable attacking option shows the adaptability and versatility within the squad. His contribution in an unconventional role could be a testament to the squad's flexibility and the manager's tactical acumen in utilizing players effectively. Mbappe's response to the ultimatum by PSG is notable. His goal-scoring record in the subsequent matches demonstrates resilience and a commitment to performing at a high level. This turnaround is indicative of effective player management and motivation within the team. Mbappe's prolific goal-scoring has occurred in Ligue 1 should be cautious in drawing definitive conclusions. The ability to consistently perform at a high level, regardless of the league, is a positive sign for a player and his team.

Surprisingly, Kylian Mbappe have plans and dreams to pursue. The transfer saga of Kylian Mbappe have started to become a problem and trending news each day. PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi is the main reason why Kylian Mbappe haven't move to another club because the president doesn't hold back, he keeps offering substantial proposal for the player and his agent, it's a tempting offer. Kylian Mbappe is the only player that have the right to either choose his path, if he will continue to play football with PSG or move to the Spanish side, Real Madrid where there's the main showdown.
