French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[len01]

And even if they win in the second leg of the series, PSG's attack still needs to improve if they want to lift the European Cup. Despite huge spending, PSG has been eliminated from the 1/8 round 5 times in the past 7 seasons. However, a place in the quarterfinals seems to be within the reach of coach Luis Enrique and his team. In the second leg, Real Sociedad needs to win against PSG by a difference of two goals or more in the rematch at Anoeta's home stadium to have a ticket to continue. Real Sociedad has not run out of opportunities to turn the situation around. Still, the team's problem is increasingly dangerous due to having to devote all its efforts to La Liga. That's more difficult to do when facing a mighty PSG with a star team that knows how to shine in difficult circumstances.

IMO, PSG not only needs to improve their performance in the attack line but PSG needs experience.
I mean PSG usually always change coaches every time they fail to win a title in the UCL and things like this are a team's mistake of not giving the coach the experience to be able to correct mistakes in the past to become stronger to face the UCL in the following season whereas to win the UCL title a coach requires the right strategy and this strategy can be created when a coach succeeds in gaining experience in the last round, for example in this round PSG failed in the quarter finals and in the following season Enrique has a strategy to win the title in the semi finals.

and regarding the match that PSG has to face in the UCL, they are already guaranteed to qualify for the quarter finals, but in that round PSG will be given a very big obstacle because they have to face a team that is much stronger and I doubt that PSG can reach the semi finals.

Tomorrow has super big match of Ligue 1 between AS Monaco vs PSG, its opportunity for AS Monaco to make Ligue 1 keep interested by stopping PSG for securing three points.
Current position, AS Monaco still not secure yet for finishing on Champion League spot standings and winning next match against PSG will make confidence and return to 2nd standings position behind two points left from Brest.
Last week, Rennes taken one points against PSG and I don't think any difficult for getting three points against PSG, AS Monaco must looking with their current standings and bad possibilities if loss three points will make their top fourth standings position have drop outside from top fourth position because Lille has three points remaining from AS Monaco.

I expect it to be one of the most enjoyable matches of the week. Monaco are alarming in defense and conceding too many goals, but at the same time they are effective in attack and look like they can score more goals than they concede. However, due to their defensive problems, they don't inspire confidence in the side betting. Paris St Germain continue to lead in a very comfortable position despite last week's draw. PSG have officially embargoed Ligue 1. In this match we will watch and discuss more the offensive side of both teams than the defensive side. Both teams like to attack and are effective in attack. My betting preference would be on 3 goals and goals against.

Say that to Bayern Munich, they're always become a champion in Bundesliga for a decade which mean in there there's no balanced rival too, but they're always become one of favorite in Champions League. Remember we're talking about no rival and Champions League, not only the current season since Bayern Munich now has a new rival i.e. Bayer Leverkusen.

PSG is just an all star club without any strategy, that's why they always lose against all star club that play with a strategy.

Differences in quality and perspective of club management and applicable rules so as to give birth to a different vision. If I am not mistaken, PSG has just been built more coordinated after they have a new owner and he starts targeting the Champions League as the biggest achievement. In contrast to Bayern Munich and even there they have to make the rules at least German players must be more than outside players. Bayern Munich has become one of the best clubs when playing in the Champions League while the PSG level hasn't to that yet.

So that the project being worked on by Luis Enrique will be far more difficult where they have to build the squad to be stronger and take time so that PSG is able to compete in the Championm League. If Luis Enrique is able to build the club level to be stronger then I am sure they will achieve success as did Pep Guardiola in Manchester City.

Any club definitely has a target to become champions in the Champions League, even Real Madrid, which has won many titles in the Champions League, has never given up on continuing to get them because that proves that they are the strongest club in Europe, as is PSG's target who wants to get this prestigious title. For years PSG have really wanted to achieve this so they can compete like other top clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich. Because so far PSG's performance is still far below theirs in the competition in the Champions League, and these three clubs are always the strongest candidates in the competition as a whole, they have sufficient squad depth.

The project that Luis Enrique is undertaking is not an easy project to achieve, even though he is a coach who has good experience in the Champions League, when he trains a club that does not have good potential to play in the Champions League. It will be difficult for PSG to achieve this, but if Luis Enrique is able to make a difference and is able to build a squad that is better than before, then he can create new history for PSG. Let's see Luis Enrique's ability in the next round, which PSG will face in the Champions League, can he win that big trophy

[rendravolt]

I think the opening match this week is a big match and I think both Monaco and PSG will always show their prestige when facing each other. I feel this will be a proving ground for both teams and maybe Monaco is quite the favorite here because they play as hosts. However, PSG, who want to continue to consolidate their title this season, will try very hard and do not want to play a draw like the previous match against Rennes.

Monaco used to be a tough opponents for PSG always because they are the only team that usually come close to them almost every season in the title race, but it is almost too late for Monaco as PSG already gaped them with 13 points, they are not more a title contenders this season, they are just making effort to make to the Champions League next season.

Monaco should have been the favorites in this match on paper, but I don’t think they can defeat PSG with their current form. PSG won four in their last five matches while Monaco won just two. Even though statistics and h2h shows that Monaco is good against PSG, I don’t think this time they can even get a draw because they are not playing well as expected this season.

But unfortunately, having the advantage of playing home doesn't make Monaco the favorite and here PSG is still the team that has a big chance of winning. If we look at the odds offered by the bookie, it is certainly very profitable to be able to get odds of @2.08 for PSG to win and we certainly rarely see PSG getting these odds if their opponents are unbalanced.

I don't think Monaco will just stay silent and regarding the gap that is so big, it is possible that Monaco doesn't care about that anymore and they are only thinking about securing 3 points at home and at the same time improving the H2H against PSG. I think all teams know very well that there is nothing more important than winning in front of the fans and Monaco will try to get that. In your opinion, who will win in this big match and if you bet, will you choose Monaco, PSG, or even a draw?

Well, Monaco advantage in playing at home doesn't apply and PSG is still the favorite in this match to be the favorite for the bookmakers, but indeed PSG is the team at the top of the standings with the most points so it is normal for this to happen.
Even though PSG is the favorite, the odds given to both of them can be said to be quite high because Monaco has an odd @3.30 and PSG has an odd @2.08.
The difference between the two is quite high, but this is an oddity that usually makes gamblers experience some confusion because the possibility of Monaco being the winner is also possible.
It just that I myself will have prediction that PSG still has the chance of winning and the possibility of Monaco winning is quite small, while draw will be the most likely opportunity in this match.

Of course, Monaco will try to win and be able to save full points to compete for second place, but PSG is also not weak team and it is not certain that Monaco will be able to win this match.
Even though Monaco has played quite well in the last few matches, PSG is not the team they played against in the previous few matches, so it would really be too much of risk to make Monaco the favorite in the match against PSG.

First of all we shouldn't forget that Monaco won their last three home games against PSG in the league.    Even though their form recently isn't much good they can still be a serious threat to PSG tonight. 

PSG are in a really comfortable condition. The point gap with Brest is 11 points now. Maybe PSG players might be a little complacent because of being very comfortable. It is up to how Mbappe will perform at the same time. If he takes a big responsibility then they can make things really difficult for Monaco away. Rather than placing a bet on a side I would prefer betting on both teams to score at 1.52. I don't think we will watch a boring game.

And PSG is focusing on the Champions League match in the middle of next week, so it is quite possible that Manaco can win this match.
Monaco has been inconsistent in the last few matches, but so has PSG.
I will bet on Monaco winning or on a goal over in this match, With odds of 3.30 I think it's quite worth it.

Monaco is a serious threat to Paris Saint Germain in this match, but even so I don't think it will have much effect on Paris Saint Germain who still has a considerable distance from the team in second place. Monaco are also in good form, although inconsistency is still a big problem for them. But by playing at home they must take advantage of this opportunity to be able to achieve positive results, at least 1 point they must secure.

Paris Saint Germain is very tough in Ligue 1, that's not debatable anymore. But that does not mean they cannot be defeated, as evidenced they have also won 1 defeat and 6 draws from 23 matches they have played in Ligue 1 this season. If Monaco are to win, they'll need to lock down a player who has a big impact on the play of Paris Saint Germain. Actually, there aren't many, like Mbappe for example. Because if you look at the other players in this squad, they actually play ordinary and individual abilities that make a visible difference. Their teamwork is also not that good, so Monaco must be able to do something that I said above. It's not easy, but it's worth trying.

This is going to be an interesting match to watch because there is going to be a lot of struggling on that match because irrespective of PSG good performance AS Monaco is also in a good form this season and they are currently on the third position of the table and considering there points against Brest they will make sure to put in all there possible best if they can win the match because if they're lucky to win the match they will become the second position on the table then Brest will move to the third position but although I don't think any of this will be possible because we know how PSG has been on this league season and how consistent they have been so there is always a big chance they will win the match.

It will be a very critical match for Monaco. So far, there is a big conflict as to which team will be the 2nd and 3rd in the league. If Monaco loses points in this match, the probability of the teams coming behind them to surpass them will increase. If they want to go to the Champions League, they must get a point from this match, even if it is 1 point. It may be much more difficult for them to close this point gap in the coming weeks. It will be an exciting match and PSG will probably win the match

[bering]

Actually for the match Monaco vs PSG i want to see Monaco will be able to beat PSG because if they can able to do that then the competition to gets the title will be more interesting but although last week Monaco has just gets the winning result from Lens but Monaco performance during this season is still unstable and sometimes Monaco performing badly and lost against weak teams and the latest is Monaco two week ago lost from Toulouse at their home ground and for PSG without doubt they are as the team with the most consistent in Ligue 1 and so far PSG have no decent opponent for race title in this competition

Based on meeting records actually Monaco can able to beat PSG twice at their home ground with good scores and these results should be indicated Monaco have good chances to beat PSG today but indeed i have to says it's hard to beat PSG because this team is too strong for all of the teams in Ligue 1 however about squad update for this match PSG still lost some players because the players just like Milan Skriniar will be absense because he still struggling to recover from his injured and Marquinhos too will be doubtful to play and for Monaco their main striker Wissam Ben Yedder will be played since the beginning of match and recently i just checked the odds for PSG and i am very surprised to see the bookmakers give good odds for PSG @1.94 and i think this is good odds to bets because i am sure PSG will be able to overcomes Monaco today

It will be an exciting match and PSG will probably win the match

In that the match, it could actually be said that Monaco will be more burdened even though they will be playing at home, facing PSG is not an easy job for Monaco, especially as they are required not to lose in order to secure their position to qualify for the Champions League next season because the ticket quota is intended for the Ligue 1 only has 4 tickets, positions 1, 2, 3 automatically qualify while position 4 must take part in the play offs, so like it or not, to avoid the play offs of course Monaco must be able to beat PSG and lock their position in second or third place at the end of the season later.

PSG position is very safe to get trophy in this season, but of course PSG will not let Monaco just win because after all PSG will still target victory to maintain their winning record, besides that if they succeed in beating Monaco it will make PSG quicker to claim their trophy, because he is getting further away from Brest who is ranked second.
Monaco desire to get 3 points and PSG hard work to maintain their track record means it is certain that the match will be very tough, even though in the end it is possible that PSG will beat Monaco by a narrow score in the match.

Before this match, several factors need to be taken into account, the first is that PSG needs to play the return match with Real Sociedad on Tuesday, the second is that they have a very large advantage in Ligue 1, and the loss of points will not be critical for them, so Enrique can now start thinking about the match with Sociedad, and this may affect the result of the match with Monaco, for whom this match will most likely be more important than for PSG.

[Strongkored]

Monaco has been inconsistent in the last few matches, but so has PSG.
I will bet on Monaco winning or on a goal over in this match, With odds of 3.30 I think it's quite worth it.

My prediction is that PSG probably won't play with full strength because they are concentrating on the Champions League, but the chance of their key players being brought on in the middle of the match is very likely to still be able to get points, whether it's three or just one, because after all they still have to secure their position in the standings.
Luiz Enrique's role is very important in determining the strategy in this big match because the right strategy will lead them to get points in this away match.

You are right, the odds @ 3.30 on Monaco are very worthy of being chosen because Monaco's chance of winning is there, especially if we look at the H2H where in the home match against PSG, Monaco has a much better record, but sometimes the H2H doesn't really affect it, especially now the conditions are quite different, where Monaco is unstable but PSG is successful maintain their unbeaten record because the last time they lost in Ligue 1 was in a match at the beginning of the season but after that they performed very well.
For those who are not so sure that Monaco will win, choosing PSG with odds of around @ 2.00 or a draw @ .80 is also equally tempting.

In Ligue1, PSG is quite safe with a distance of 11 points from second place for now because that big a distance will certainly not be easy for PSG's rival team to overcome. So it is quite clear in this case that if PSG lost at home to Monaco in today's match, it would certainly not have any effect on PSG because their position would still remain the same. Meanwhile, for the match at home to Real Sociedad in the Champions League, you have to think about it now or after today's match is finished in order to enter the last eight in the Champions League.

Only a few hours left to start the game between Monaco and PSG but I think Monaco's performance in the last games made us think they are the team to make PSG lose some points which can make other teams like Brest to get closer to racing with PSG.
But still, I think even a team like Monaco cannot cause any problems for a PSG and they are at the same level at all.
In the conference before the game, Enrique started talking about Mbappe and his alternative options, there was some news about Rafael Leão taking the place of Mbappe in PSG but when they asked him about Rafael Leão he said he didn't know Rafael Leão however he was kidding.

I mean.. Obviously We are talking about PSG here, monaco is not even remotely close to them and even home or away it doesn't really matter when you have this much difference between the clubs. I am not saying that they are going to end up with just pure wins, we have seen PSG fail to win some games already, but they are doing fine and when they lose, they do not lose because they are not the favourites, they are favourites in every single game.

This one I believe will be easy for them to win, we will not see them have anything that will be difficult. Monaco is no match for PSG and with Mbappe going, they really want to get that one more last win that is almost guaranteed, next season they will still be fine, just a bit unsure.

Luis Enrique doesn't seem to want to lose many points in Ligue 1 just because PSG still has a second leg in the Champions League. Maintaining his points advantage at the top of the standings is something he must do without sacrificing anything. The match against Real Sociedad is certainly important, but they have a good aggregate advantage to not underestimate Monaco in Ligue 1 today.

Even though PSG doesn't have much influence if they lose to Monaco, maintaining the best performance of their squad makes the most sense. If PSG wants to rest some of its best players in this match, it is possible that PSG will lose points in the end. Of course that's not good and Luis Enrique shouldn't take that risk.

The Ligue 1 and it’s major competition between the lower placed teams well it’s kind of great but I expect it to grow better. A league ought to be challenging rather than leaving it all out for one team to have the major glory. The major reason why this league is still considered to be farmer’s league is how other clubs are so relaxed and enjoy PSG being crowned League Champions season in and out. It ought not to be so as these teams need to work real hard so as to put up a fight for PSG.

 Well let’s talk about the competition between teams for the UCL spot in the league. We’ve Monaco who are currently at 3rd wanting to go to the UCL and they must try to maintain this position or get to the 2nd spot to secure automatic qualification. Their next match is at home to PSG in an encounter I feel will be so thrilling as they’ll really need to get at least a point to still be very safe. Even though getting a point is s quite risky but at least it’s safer than losing all 3. PSG are coming to this match very comfortably and as such I think they’ll rest most of her attackers for their UCL fixture.

 Monaco will need to struggle it out though it won’t be any easy but it’s quite possible and can be done. Brest are also going to try to get a point to still be in the chase for 2nd spot, this should be a big push to Brest cause if Monaco lose against PSG today it would give Brest and opportunity to maintain the 2nd position and if they continue with this good form they’ll qualify for the UCL.

Thirteen fucking points ahead of third place As Monaco is it not? Eleven points ahead of second place Brest? I love Brest this season though, they're good fighters and I hope they keep pushing and fighting for that spot until the end of the season. Winning the league one has been a norm and every good coach who comes in wouldn't want to miss out on it you know. It's reasons why Luis Enrique wouldn't want to lose points.
But then, they should rest as much players just to avoid Injuries ahead of the second leg to Real Sociedad.

Kylian Mbappe has been a good source of creativity and goals to the club, the second player that comes close to him would be having just six goals and that's not good enough.

Really, Real Madrid are also trying to make moves for Hakimi for the long run. He would be a good idea to replace Dani Carvajal for the long run.

I think the current difference of 11 points is actually too big and it will be difficult for Brest to catch up,  Indeed, we cannot predict what will happen in the Monaco vs PSG match later, but it seems will difficult for Monaco to beat PSG even if PSG fielded their second tier players in that match,  a slightly different view from yours, I think Luis Enrique will probably try to save some of their important players in this match, not because they take Monaco lightly, but of course the Champions League will be a higher priority for PSG even though they are two goals ahead on aggregate from Sociedad.

The ability of PSG reserve players is actually quite good and will be able to match the Monaco players so it wouldn't be wrong for Luis Enrique to try to give them a chance to play,  Apart from that, I haven't found news about whether Mbappe will play or not in that the match although maybe he enters the line up, but if you look at Mbappe current speculation what continues to surface, it seems that Luis Enrique Enrique will not try to played  Mbappe either against Monaco or Sociedad  to maintain the club concentration and stability.
