French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Jegileman]

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.

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.

I think it is time for PSG to change their transfer policy, because it has the potential to violate the FFP and is at risk of possible sanctions, if continues to buy players at high prices. Building a squad filled with star players does increase the bargaining value of winning trophies, but if it is not managed by the right people and supported at the right time it is the same as zero, we have seen the lineup that PSG has built containing Mbappe, Messi and Neymar on the front lines. In fact, almost every line they had was filled with big names, but in the end they failed to achieve success in Europe.

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.

PSG, are big money spenders but they should be wary lest they fall under the hammer of the FFP. Yes, signing big names aren’t bad but they could cause a worry for the team especially if they’re not managed properly or they end up signing the wrong players that doesn't match the teams standard.

 Well sometimes, big names requires some special sort of management so as to be able to achieve success and this could be likened to PSG's past squad with names but yet were nothing when at the big Europe stage. Luis is quite good but I think he needs to build his own squad so as to achieve massive success. Winning the UCL ain’t one big deal as he can achieve that same way he did at Barcelona but he needs all trust and confidence from the board so as to build his own squad and win the necessary trophies.

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.

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.

In fact, almost every line they had was filled with big names, but in the end they failed to achieve success in Europe.

Maybe for now they have changed their policy of looking at quality players for directors and so far the transfer market has opened PSG has not moved to look for players who have above average quality. The responsibility for managing a club must be given to competent people because if it is mismanaged, the club, even though it has a lot of money, will not have any impact. It has been proven that when Lionel Messi, Neymar and several other star players were in the PSG squad, they were unable to compete with other teams in the Champions League.

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.

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.

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.

but the situation is different even though Enrique once led Barcelona to get the UCL title but at that time Barcelona had lots of very reliable players and even had Messi as a scorer to get every win and currently PSG only relies on Mbappe and if PSG really wants to get the title in the UCL they should giving Enrique the freedom to get lots of reliable players to help improve PSG performance.
Mbappe might be able to be a mainstay for Enrique but it looks like problems will come and PSG could turn into a little difficulty after Mbappe decided to leave when his contract expired and at that time Enrique got a job that was really very difficult because he had to be able to strengthen PSG without Mbappe presence and in one On my part, I doubt that PSG management can persist in having Enrique as coach for several seasons because usually if PSG fails the coach will be fired as in the previous case.

Every season is am opportunity for PSG to win the UCL title but it appears things are not working out as expected and Nasser Al-Khelaifi will not give up until his ultimate targets is reach. He wants to be privileged to enjoy the good moments to touch the UCL trophy with his bare hands and watch his team bring it to Parc des Princes stadium. Paris Saint-Germain have everything that qualifies them to enter the UEFA Champions League every season but they're lacking the crucial points which would aides them to become UEFA Champions. They had an opportunity spotted out when they meet Bayern Munich in the final and ended up losing, that was one of suspense actions for the entire club and it affected them in full-time season.

Although Nice is in second place, it cannot perform well enough. Still, they are not the teams that will threaten PSG. Neither Nice, nor Monaco, nor Lille. We see that Psg will win the league by a wide margin this season. Also, this may be the last season they have Mbappe. Mbappe is performing great this year. Even though it is his last year, there is a situation that will leave a mark on Mbappe.

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.

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.

It is impossible for Nice to catch PSG with a large enough point difference while Nice's performance this season is not very consistent and not very convincing to challenge PSG for the title, PSG has a much more stable performance than the top 3 clubs. And PSG has a better player gap that's what makes it difficult for other clubs to break PSG's dominance to win the title, and as long as no club surpasses PSG in terms of players and coaches, I think PSG will continue to dominate the League 1 title for as long as possible.

This is indeed Mbappe's last season at PSG and if Mbappe does not intend to sign a new contract with PSG then he will leave and there are many rumors that Mbappe will go to Real Madrid or another big club like Liverpool. But if Mbappe can achieve good results he will win the League title Champions with PSG, maybe Mbappe will continue his career with PSG, but I think that is quite impossible even though there is still a chance of a miracle.

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

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.

[rendravolt]

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.

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.

[topbitcoin]

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

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.

[temple]

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.

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
