French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[rendravolt]

Even though it sometimes makes you wonder what it would be like when PSG suffers such losses with this squad, they are not currently in any risk for the league championship, they seem to accept such points losses. Gouiri, who scored Rennes' first goal, scored Rennes' goal with his talent alone. PSG had a hard time finding the equalizing goal, but the equalizing goal came in the 90+7 minute.

Mbappe was a little weaker in this match. He cannot carry him in every match anyway. When Mbappe plays below his level and fails to score, PSG generally loses points.

If I'm not mistaken, I read Luis Enrique's interview after the match was over and he said that sooner or later this team would not be able to rely completely on Mbapee when he left. With a statement like that, Luis Enrique knew where Mbappe's future was next and because of that, in the 65th minute, Mbappe was pulled out and Goncalo Ramos came in from then on. Of course PSG still can't do anything because Mbappe was withdrawn early and this is like a test for Luis Enrique's players so they can maximize the match with the current squad.

As we can see, with that much time, PSG is still having difficulty equalizing the score even though the difference is only one goal. However, fortunately PSG was still able to get a draw with a goal in the final minute of the match. I think this is very good for mental development and the strategy that will be implemented next and even though this draw doesn't bother them in the standings, if they don't try it now then everything will be too late next season and Luis Enrique doesn't want that to happen.

It is good for PSG future with this preparation of Enrique as their position in Ligue 1 is very safe already. 11 points more than Brest is a safe different and PSG don't need to use Mbappe too much in Ligue 1. They must save him for important matches in Champions League and aim at winning a first Champions League with a last season of Mbappe for them.

As we can see, with that much time, PSG is still having difficulty equalizing the score even though the difference is only one goal.

It is a difficult match for PSG but even it is an unwanted draw, they don't actually feel too bad with it. Champions League is like on top of their priorities and winning 1 Champions League will change their club history. They already won many Ligue 1 titles and winning one more Ligue 1 title won't change their club history, won't help them to join Tier 1 clubs in Europe.

Unlike in the UEFA Champions League that Paris Saint Germaine have struggled to make a good impact, they're the ones that's been bossing the French Ligue 1 fir almost the past one decade and considering the quality of players in the team, I don't think there's any team that's gonna stop them from their dominance of the French league even after the current season. The reason why they've been dominating the league is simply because they've spent more money in signing quality players than any other team in the French league and for a club that spends as outrageous as Paris Saint Germaine, you don't expect them to struggle in dominating the entire league.

Earlier today, Paris Saint Germaine failed to win against Rennes at the Parc des Princes but despite the draw, Paris Saint Germaine are still destined to win the French league title at the end of the season because they're currently leading the table with a over 10 points difference

It's only fitting that PSG gain this dominance in League 1 because finances play an important role in the team's future, but the problem for me is that it's just a waste of money if you spend a lot of money on quality players but have difficulty getting titles in the UCL like PSG did a few seasons ago there is no shortage of quality players like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar, this is a truly perfect line up but PSG still failed in terms of winning the title in the UCL.
I don't know what makes PSG such a big team but only in the domestic league without being able to get other prestigious titles and in my opinion this is all because PSG has not been able to maintain a quality coach for several seasons to give the coach the opportunity to get the right strategy and be able to bring team to a higher level.

and if we talk about dominance in league 1 I will see PSG will continue to dominate even though they lost Mbappe but there are still other quality players who will be brought in by PSG management and PSG will lose this dominance after another team gets big investors who provide big capital to revive the team's performance and I hope that happens for Monaco.

Jean Louis Gasset who replace Gattuso position as a manager has been through an 2 matches in all competitions and his debut was working well because he can bringing Marseille to eliminate Shakhtar Donetsk with final aggregate 5-3 in Europa league and in Ligue 1 too he can able to ended poor results from Marseille with beat Montpellier with huge scores and about the match against Montpellier actually in the beginning of first half Marseille was playing with slightly under pressure even they have to conceded in early minutes by Mousa Al Tamari goal but Marseille still focus to control the game and the result is they can able to bounce back and win this match

Next weekend Marseille will gets weak opponent Clermont i think this is good opportunities to gets their 2nd winning in Ligue 1 under new manager Jean Louis Gasset and i know Clermont has just successfully to stole point from Nice but their performance is compeletely unstable and Clermont also still hard struggling to gets the winning results because in the last 15 matches in all competitions Clermont only able to gets 2 wins so they are really not in the good shape and on the paper this should be easy match for Marseille

All the teams playing in Ligue 1 are PSG's competitors, it's just that there are not many of their strongest competitors. This allowed PSG to dominate Ligue 1 with all its advantages, but PSG was not always able to defend its title without failing in one different season.

This season PSG is strong and they lead the standings with an 11 point advantage. PSG drew its last match against Rennes, but that did not have a big impact on its title chances. The match against Monaco is more challenging after the previous draw, but perhaps not too important if PSG wants to focus on the Champions League. Winning the match and maintaining a points lead is clearly important, but Enrique will have to rotate several players in preparation for the away match against Real Sociedad.

In terms of the depth of the PSG team, Of course they are much stronger than all the team in Ligue 1 so they always manage to maintain their progress towards becoming champion. Indeed, in yesterday match, PSG almost lost, But they still managed to avoid it with a goal from Gancalo ramos in the final minutes of the match. Now the difference between Psg and Brest is 11 point and of course this is a season where PSG can lock up the title early. Maybe when mbappe left for another team that's where psg power in Ligue 1 started to disappear, but I'm sure Mbappe will stay at psg for a long time.

In the Champions League, PSG also performed impressively because in the first leg they managed to win the match with a score of 2-0, so this capital was quite important for them in the second leg. Luis enrique troops will play the second leg in March and they are very ready to steal victory at home to Real sociedad. Maybe winning the UCL trophy is very difficult for them because other team have a stronger mentality than them.

Clermont also succeeded in taking one point from the match against other strong teams, they managed to hold PSG, Brest and Lille to a draw so Marseille must be wary of Clermont, a team that can be said to be sure to be relegated and indeed their performance is unstable but a weak team like Clermont is often motivated to produce surprising match results even if they only hold their strong opponents to a draw.

A change of coach often provides a breath of fresh air at the start of his arrival so this might also happen to Marseille where their new coach is motivated to bring his team to win the match especially as the opponents they face are considered weak so the chances of winning are wide open for Marseille.
In the last few meetings between the two teams, not many goals have been scored and also looking at the current conditions it is very possible that something like that will happen, where Marseille can win the match but with a narrow score or if Clermont manages to hold Marseille to a draw only with a score of 0-0 or 1-1

[Jody.Drummer]

Rennes in the last 5 games has been a very strong team, meaning that no matter the strength of the opponent, they can play and not lose, that is something very good. Even when they played against PSG, they did well in defense, they didn't allow PSG to score many goals and they did very well in attack as they managed to score 1 goal, they were very close to winning that game, unfortunately they They were unlucky and suffered a penalty just as the game was ending. With this draw, Rennes is in position number 7 and if they manage to maintain this performance they could end up in a better position, something like a position with access to European competitions and talking about places with access to European competitions.

Rennes can play well against Paris Saint Germain, especialy in defense, I really praise them for the way they defend. Even under presure, they still managed to steal a goal in the first half which made Paris Saint Germain have to work harder so that they don't lose this match. Rennes were able to end the first half with the lead they still held.

In the second half they were pressed hard by Paris Saint Germain, but they were still able to withstand every atack launched by Paris Siant Germain. I think they will really win this match because after entering extra time the score is still unchanged for their advantage. But unfortunately they had to make a mistake that eventually made Paris Saint Germain get a penalty, Goncalo Ramos who advanced as the executor successfully carried out his duties very well to make the score even.

On the one hand I'd say Paris Saint Germain were lucky that they were awarded a penalty in the final minute, but on the other hand I also see this result as well deserved for Paris Saint Germain or even if you see them play they should also be able to win this match. This result actually doesn't affect them much, even though they failed to get 3 points but the distance of their points is still very far to be pursued by other clubs who are ranked 2nd.

[Roseline492]

Sometimes away games make it a little bit more different because we know that even at home it's not a guarantee that they'll win but at least there's more strength and confidence when a club is backed by thousands of supporters in a match.

Home matches can never be compared with away matches because there is always a big difference and the opportunity because I have seen a club that's not actually good in performance but whenever it comes to there home matches they hardly lose matches, so perhaps just like you said sometimes even if most clubs can lose home matches but playing from home will give them more confident and opportunity to perform more than the way they were supposed to perform on there away match.

[Velvet78]

PSG had a really poor game and they were nearly losing as well. Mbappe and Barcola were really ineffective in the attacking line. Goncalo Ramos was the right move for the team as he scored the equalizer in the stoppage time. But is this 1-1 result a problem for PSG? Of course not. Because the gap Brest is still 9 points and I don't expect any team to get too close to PSG from now on.

Mbappe would get another Ligue 1 title before leaving but I wouldn't expect him to be champion in the Champions League this season. PSG aren't that good now. They can't eliminate Manchester City and Real Madrid with their current performance level.

PSG have a big gap in the standings, so they can play matches quietly without losing a lot of energy. Especially since they have a match against Monaco and a match in the Champions League coming up. Yesterday's draw did not affect PSG's position. Probably they will have similar matches

This was a hard-fought battle for the 23rd round of Ligue 1, PSG hosted Stade Rennais. In a challenging match, the league leaders managed to snatch a draw in the dying moments of the game thanks to a penalty from Gonçalo Ramos (1-1). In a match where PSG dominated possession, they struggled to create clear-cut chances and saw Rennes take the lead thanks to a brilliant run from Amine Gouiri, who managed to beat Gianluigi
 Donnarumma.

 This lead was very great to come through for them very early in the first half. Rennes should be commended for how they’ve been. In the 2nd half the performance of the club dropped and that made psg got a penalty and converted it and they made them hAd a point in this match. Well I don’t have many views on this match because they are already said to be leading the league with great points, niw they are seeming to focus more on the UCL and this is what played out in this match. You can see how the players were careful and trying to keep themselves out of injury for the UCL clash later this week. Well I think going forward PSG Will have to improve on how they play so as not to lose grip on the league and playing the way they did against Rennes over the weekend is wuite risky as if they don’t improve or play better they could be placed under pressure. The league isn’t worth that standard of being under pressure so I think it should be all wins or majorly drawa from Psg as I already see them as league winners.

A club like Clermont does look weak and is currently at the bottom of the points table, but a weak club like this cannot be underestimated because it can always cause difficulties or provide resistance to make it difficult for Marseille to score.
Incidents like this have often happened in the past so in future matches we have to be careful before betting on a match with a weak club like Clermont, we have to have the safest option to avoid the risk of losing and don't bet on a big club even though Clermont is against a big club, but it's better to choose to bet in another option.

According to my predictions, in the upcoming match, Marseille can still win because from the last meeting, Marseille was able to beat Clermont, but at that time Marseille was the host and this time Clermont is the host, which gives a little worry.
Jean-Louis as Marseille coach must be careful and more focused on scoring and defending his goal so that Clermont does not attack him again.
I think it is the right prediction to place a bet on double chance.

PSG getting this draw is actually quite sad because they should have won but in the end it was still good thing because PSG didn't lose to Rennes.
No one could have thought that Goncalo Ramos would be able to score goal in added time at the end of the match which resulted in draw, if there were no goals then it would be clear that PSG would lose and I saw this match and I already felt that PSG would lose.
Mbappe, as the player most relied on for scoring goals, also couldn't play as well as in other matches, they got various opportunities but couldn't produce good results to score goal.
Even so, they are still at the top of the standings with complete comfort because with large margin it will be difficult to surpass them.

Yes, he will be guaranteed to get the Ligue 1 title before leaving PSG, and for the UCL he will never be able to get it with PSG.

In the future, PSG will face Monaco and this is much better team than Rennes so we could see the same result, namely draw, this is just prediction and we will not know how PSG will face Monaco later.

Had good performance in the previous few matches has made Lyon closer to being in the Europe League zone this season, current standings Lyon remaining 8 points left and I sure they have chance for locking one spot in Europe League next season. Lyon won four consecutive matches and managed to get out of the degradation zone but not remaining many points left depend on bottom standings teams have 22 points above and Lyon position still not secure yet for relegation zone.
Lyon have to face many top teams for 11 matches later in Ligue 1, such as PSG and AS Monaco I don't sure with Lyon how potential can defeat the top teams have good performance and Lyon have to face with teams fight to Champion League and Europe League spot standings.

Lyon just staying away from the relegation zone is already very good. they show tremendous performance improvements. I hope they can maintain it. because if not, it is possible that its position will decline again. That's because the current point difference with the teams below is not that far. There are still many possibilities that could happen in the standings. but Lyon reaching the European zone might be very difficult.

Well, it is a fact that PSG will be a team that has everything to win Ligue 1, and this will be a great advance for Luis Enrique who came as a huge Alternative for the team , After having 3 great Forwards and not having achieved anything Well, it is obvious that the coach was the culprit, I know it was like that, according to the Sheikh I don't know why he left a coach for so long who did nothing but just wanted to win Ligue 1, at this time it is not obvious that the coach PSG will be the leader and winner of Ligue 1 because what they have shown, so they lose, I don't think they will achieve it, and because in Ligue 1 I don't know why they play with so much fear, it's as if the whole team revolved around them to Mbappé and that he was the one who decided Everything, in this order of ideas and Luis Enrique is taking matters into his own hands and has everything Ready to get out of Mbappé is a very Complicated player , He uses it to Score goals and then Takes it out.

I think that Luis Enrique no longer likes Mbappé's way of playing, because if he is thinking about MADRID there is Nothing to do, in fact he himself has already given the verdict that the French player will leave for Madrid and this is Almost a fact, the Things Could be very Different if you look at it from another point of view, but considering what the team can do , I'm Thinking that a solution for Madrid will be to quickly look for new players, and those players will be the ones who eventually get out of this crisis. to a team that has everything to be the best  Until now they are the best in France but they can make a difference if they start studying how to make better signings, I personally have not seen very very good players, something like Messi, CR7, no, it's Because not even Mbappé and Haaland are as good as these legends.

It’s official: Mbappe’s era at PSG is over

Mbappe no long special

Mbappe was hauled off midway through the second half of Sunday’s Ligue 1 encounter Rennes as PSG trailed 1-0 – something previously unthinkable. His replacement, Goncalo Ramos, ultimately squared the match via a controversial late penalty, but it’s clear the era of Mbappe’s hold over PSG is at an end.

“It’s very simple,” Luis Enrique said when asked why he had replaced the World Cup winner when he was not the worst player on the field. “Sooner or later, we’ll have to get used to playing without Kylian.

“When I want to play him, I will, when I don’t, it’s the same.”

I wonder how Luis Enrique will do things now? Even though he is a coach who likes to work with very young players, he really needs the presence of experienced players like Mbappé. I know that they are very comfortable in their things, and this could mean a lot of money for those players. I could think that Luis Enriue's vision is good, but even more so he should not leave a team completely alone if there is no veteran player, because it is difficult, things did not go well for him in Qatar because he was thinking about that, he applied it and They said they won from Japan, of course Japan is a highly renowned team and has very good players and they have a very good football project, where they are improving more and more every day, this can bring better results, but it is because they are with the project, they still missing, that's what I heard, but in the case of PSG where they already have Ligue 1 assured, they have to think about their performance in the UCL.

The UCL is one of the best leagues in France and this can generate many things that can improve, I would be thinking that sometimes a single good player can shine here, but which one? who? where is the? This is Luys Enruqie's job and it can make a difference as soon as possible, I would be looking for players to make a new very strong team.

Paris Saint-Germain secured a late game-tying goal from Gonçalo Ramos for the 1-1 draw against Stade Rennais on Sunday at the Parc des Princes. Nonetheless, the focal point of the match unfolded when Kylian Mbappé was substituted in the 65th minute.

Manager Luis Enrique decided to make a decision that likely sent shockwaves down the squad. PSG was down 1-0 and looking for a goal to level the scoring, which paid off with Ramos generating the foul that led to a penalty kick chance and then converting the shot.

After the match, Enrique spoke postgame, and obviously, the main question was about his decision to take the Frenchman out of the game.

“It’s very easy to answer you,” Enrique said (h/t Culture PSG). “Before or after, sooner or later… We will have to get used to playing without Kylian. When? When I consider it appropriate whether he plays or not, as all coaches do with their players.”

The points earned by Lyon are generally from their hardwork, the coach and the supporters putting in great aides to developed the team to this standard. Lyon that was ranked in the relegation zone are currently in the 10th position. The losing days are over, now Lyon are focused on making exploring winning in their matches, they just have to put more efforts in upfront matches. Lyon have faced quite more challenges than drew them back when it comes to accumulating three points. The club come together to achieved important winnings, they needed this.

Although Bolagun missed a penalty in the 82nd minute, Minamino managed to score the winning goal in the last minutes.Lens remained on 36 points with this defeat.The race is still on for them.If they want to compete in the champions league next season, they must not let their rivals widen the gap in points.If they had won this match, the situation could have been different.At least they would have 39 points and would not have a 5 point difference with their rivals.

Your point is well taken. PSG dominates Ligue 1; is it untouchable? With an 11-point advantage this season, they're unlikely to be caught. Their draw with Rennes didn't affect their title run, as I witnessed. With the Champions League in mind, their method is intriguing. To stay fresh for a huge encounter against Real Sociedad, rotating players is smart. They have bigger goals than winning Ligue 1. I mean, who blames them? Top teams compete on all fronts, and PSG is playing long-term.

I've never trusted this team beyond their performance in the domestic league. They seem to struggle outside of Ligue 1. Other leagues appear to be more competitive than the French league. Even though PSG is leading the league, they often win Ligue 1 and thats common. Despite bringing in quality players, this team still struggles. No changes at all.

It's understandable, even though PSG have experienced ups and downs in performance in Ligue 1, they will not lose the trophy when the season ends. In the Champions League, PSG looks like a mediocre club, in fact it is not the favorite team to win, unlike Madrid or Man City. But I think with the investment they have made so far, PSG is heading in that direction, to become one of the best teams in Europe.

Everything takes time, it is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand, and it must be acknowledged that finances are an important factor in realizing this ambition. We can look at the examples of Chelsea and Man City, two clubs that also invest their money lavishly, but they also need a long time before they succeed in winning the Champions League.

From that point of view, I think sooner or later PSG will have the luck to become kings of Europe. PSG management certainly understands better how to manage a club, and this season they have good squad depth to make a difference, although I know that to get through the group stage they need luck. Who knows, PSG will be lucky this season, or could be lucky in the seasons to come.
