French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[tusandii]

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.

Regarding Brest, it seems like they don't have any plans other than maintaining their position as runners up because even though they don't know what happened, it is something that is very impossible to spell 11 points which is very difficult to do on the one hand, look at PSG is still very strong until now so PSG will not do a mistake that made his club lose in a row.
For Monaco's match against PSG, it seems like we all know how PSG continues to try to provide an increasingly wide point difference to Brest so that PSG is guaranteed to play with main players like Mbappe etc.
I will doubt PSG if Enrique uses second tier players and this could make PSG's chances of winning very small because Monaco can provide strong resistance at home.

It is very likely that PSG will still add points from the match against Monaco, but on the other hand, Monaco also wants to get 3 points against PSG, so we can consider where we will bet because the position of these two clubs is that they both don't want to lose in this match and the possibility could be the same. equal score divide the score to hold a draw at the end of the match.
Enrique is currently planning the best strategy but it doesn't look like he will be strong enough to penetrate Monaco's defense because we all know that Monaco's defense is known to be very strong.

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.

Obviously, I know that. PSG has a safe point gap to rest some of its important players so they don't experience fatigue and also prevent them from possible injuries. But they also need enough playing minutes to maintain their performance and physical fitness too.

Losing the match against Monaco is not good ahead of the second leg of the Champions League. So I don't think Luis Enrique will take that risk before he seals the win today. Playing all his best players in the first half and replacing them in the second half is a wise choice, and now check their line up, Enrique wants to secure a win based on his line up.

[hahay]

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.

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.

What you also have to realize about PSG in the Champions League is that PSG won 2-0 in the first leg. Therefore, even though if for example PSG only relies on aggregate wins and only gets a draw in the second leg later, of course PSG will still qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. So, basically at this moment PSG has a good situation and is certainly safe for its position in the Ligue 1 standings and also its chances in the Champions League. Because after all, basically Real Sociedad is also not very good and therefore, it will still be difficult for Real Sociedad to turn things around in the second leg later. So yes, I personally remain confident that PSG will still have a target of winning against Monaco in today match because of course, PSG also has prestige so PSG still won't be willing to be beaten by Monaco.

I kind of see this game between Monaco and PSG as something that is going to end in a draw, PSG have a Champions League game ahead to play and would rest some of its players, also the players that will be featured in this game will want to play safe to avoid sustaining possible injuries that could cause them to miss their Champions League game ahead, and talking about Monaco team, they are not a small team to write off that PSG would come and defeat so easily on their home soil, and Monaco wouldn't want to lose their game at home to so sharing a point draw would be better off for both teams.

Honestly, even if PSG loses today's match against Monaco, it might not have a significant impact on their overall standing in the league. This is because, as you mentioned, there's a considerable points difference between them and other opponents. Given that PSG has a crucial Champions League match against Real Sociedad next Tuesday, it's unlikely that the players will exert their full strength in today's match to avoid risking injury to key players. Therefore, I don't anticipate PSG winning this match because they might not view it as a must-win situation.Consequently, Monaco might seize this opportunity to either win the match or secure a draw. This scenario could be influenced by PSG's prioritization of the upcoming Champions League fixture over today's league match, potentially may affect their performance and outcome.

I don't know what PSG have to lose in this game because is like they're likely to lose and it won't bring them down or level up with the team at second position. Monaco are the ones who have something to play for which is to remain in the top 4. And it itches me when PSG are always the champions of Ligue 1 and they fail to perform in the UCL.
Their next game in the champions league is more important than this ongoing match against Monaco and it would be a shame if the home side (Monaco) don't take advantage of this opportunity.

The match is still a goalless draw and so far Luis Enrique has withdrawn several important players and rested them for the second leg of the Champions League. The match against Monaco is still important to win, but so far Monaco is playing very well and they have defended well against several attacks by PSG.

I don't know what Asensio experienced in the first half, maybe an injury, if that's true then it's a loss for PSG. Mbappe and Lucas Hernandez have been substituted, they will be very important in the second leg against Real Sociedad in the coming days. PSG and Monaco both have goal opportunities, but so far they haven't been able to score any. PSG's chances of winning are still high, but a draw is impossible to ignore.

[Weawant]

PSG has always stayed ahead of Monaco in most of their encounters so it will not be surprising if PSG end s this game in a victory but then unlike the former it feels like PSG may not be able to get as much goals as possible because in previous meetings, PSG is usually able to get at least two goals but then it already past 70th and a goal is yet to be seen from PSG except for that which was disallowed by VAR that was scores by Monaco, but then PSG has been in most possession of the ball and are looking promising but it can aswell go south ways as there's no certainties with football as anything cna happen at anytime and considering the fact that PSG isn't under pressure to win this game as it will not have much impact on them if they happen to loose the game so they will just play as much as they can because not much is at stake.

Monaco has always tried to have a good feet in the french league but has not been able to win the trophy, I don't know because I can't recall if there has ever ever been a time in the history of the french league that it has been won by Monaco and they are still not building up to such capacity yet.

Your prediction worked as the game ended in a 0:0,  I never expected that Monaco will not win this game since PSG wouldn't want to risk her key players because of the second leg of the Champions League game they need to play but at least they would have won the match to keep extending their lead in the league even though they are sure of winning the league again this season but i think getting an away victory after their 1:1 draw in their previous match last week. For the monaco team, I believe they got 1 point in the game and that performance they had today couldn't get them the win even though they played good football but couldn't get a goal from it.

[ingiltere]

Friday games are usually dangerous and we saw that today. Everyone expected Monaco and PSG to score, but neither team scored. 28 shots and no goals is an interesting statistic. It wasn't good for PSG that Asensio left the game in the first half and Mbappe at half time. PSG thought about the Real Sociedad game and a draw was enough as they were in a comfortable position in the league. We can't blame Luis Enrique for that. After all, a 0-0 draw is not a bad result away to Monaco. Their undefeated streak continued.

[Slow death]

AS Monaco FC 0 - 0 Paris Saint-Germain FC

This was a complicated game for PSG because of their next game in the European Champions League, I thought the PSG coach was going to rotate players, but from what I saw, most of the main players were playing and still weren't able to score against Monaco. which is a team that doesn't have a very strong defense, in the last game PSG played against a top opponent and also failed to score many goals, at most they only scored 1 goal and also tied the game, so PSG has 2 draws consecutive and knowing that this is the last season with mbappe, I think the coach should start thinking that he needs to make the other strikers score goals, they were hired to score goals and they are not doing so. about Monaco, congratulations, they left that game without defeat and with that they are in third position which allows them to go to the European champions league next season


Stade Reims - LOSC Lille

This is a game that involves two teams that in the last 5 games have had mixed results. Lille in the last 5 games had 2 wins, 2 defeats and 1 draw and are fighting to finish in a position that allows them to play at least in the conference league or European league, on the other side we have Reims who in the last 5 games had 2 defeats, 2 draws and only 1 victory. the difference in points between these two teams is only 4 points, in my opinion this is a game in which a draw is more likely to happen, I will not place any bets on this game because I consider it to be a very unpredictable game

Clermont - Olympique Marseille

Well, Clermont's situation is not good, in fact it is a very serious situation, they are currently at the bottom of the table, in the last 5 games they have not managed at least 1 victory. They only managed to get 3 draws at most, they need to win to have a better chance of recovering and getting out of the relegation zone and their opponent today is not a very strong opponent, it is true that he is an opponent who is far above Clermont in the table, but it is an opponent that in the last 5 games had 2 defeats, 2 draws and only had 1 victory, the bookmakers are seeing Olympique as the favorite, but I still see Clermont with some chance of coming out with victory in this game, although it's a small chance

The games are as typical. Evdryone wishes that tjey are going to easily win the matches, but they don:t.

I never see the game as a game that will come easy for PSG. Monaco is not a weak team as that and more over they are playing with Monaco from away. All I just know is that Monaco can't defeat them.

[Weawant]

For the monaco team, I believe they got 1 point in the game and that performance they had today couldn't get them the win even though they played good football but couldn't get a goal from it.

It was obvious PSG was not willing to risk it's key players to win the game tonight because that which seem more important to them was already ahead of them and they were willing and ready to give their all to that game as it really do means a whole lot to them because if they succeed in the champions league it will be of a much greater achievement for them than it would be they achieve the french league which has been something they get to win almost every year except for a few years where other team gets lucky and they will win the title. Monaco isn't a team that PSG couldn't have won if they have their full team playing and also if they had in mind that this game was to mean a whole lot to their chances in the french league so it's most liy their main reason thsy even allowed the game end in a draw despite their dominance through the game.

PSG performed much better despite the defensive mechanism employed by Monaco, I'm sure Monaco will at this point be proud that they were able to contend such a big team and we're able to not concede a goal or suffer a defeat in this game Monaco didn't have the kind of performance that would have been a barrier to win especially with a full squad .

PSG have good advantage for their first match in round of 16 and I guess because of this advantage, they decided to use their main players for a match with Monaco. However their main star players did not show best and they could not beat Monaco but it is not nightmare for PSG. They already created good differences against other clubs in Ligue 1 but this draw is like a double edge for them.

I still believe it will be better if PSG let their main star players rest in this match to be fully ready for a round of 16 second leg match. If PSG have problems in that match, we will return to their decision today for more discussion.

Perform better but could not win and get three points, it is a failure for PSG especially when they used some main star players for the match. It might not affect their chance in Champions League in round of 16 but they lose 2 points that can help them to finalize Ligue 1 sooner a little bit in future.

This particular game and result don't matter in any way for PSG. There's no team that could snatch the Ligue1 title from them even if they would have lost it.
It's a good boost for Monaco though, it would solidify their champions league next season. It was a good thing for PSG to rest some star players.
And even if they had played the whole regular team, the result of the champions league against Real sociedad won't have been different.
These players are used to playing regular games and PSG are already 2-0 ahead against Real Sociedad, I don't see PSG losing against Sociedad with a 2 goal difference playing on any player set.

Fridays games with surprising results and seeing an elite team dropping points against a club they're comfortably trying to win. Monaco vs Paris Saint-Germain and the game ended in a 0-0 draw tie. With high expectations on Les Parisiens side but at the end of the day, settled for results they never thought would happen. There's alot that happen in the game that led to 0-0 draw tie. PSG coach, Luis Enrique triggered some changes that was unfavorable for his side. Substituting Kylian Mbappe halftime was not necessary but I do get his point, he's trying to handle his team without the presence of the Frenchman who happens to be their keyman. It's totally understandable.

Yes PSG has created a lead in their first leg in the round of 16 with an aggregate of 2 goals even though it is not a big enough score but at least it could be the key to creating another aggregate in the second leg even with only 1 goal and maintaining their defense so that the home team cannot created more than 2 goals so he was able to bring PSG through to the next round. PSG's draw in this match was not a bad result even though they had used their main players, only Luis Enrique did not provide his usual formation, perhaps so that the players' stamina was still good enough to play the match in the second leg. So they did not use their performance to the maximum.

As I said before, PSG really has to rest other more important players so that their performance remains stable because their struggle is still long and PSG has widened the gap with the clubs below them in League 1 so that even if they suffer a defeat it doesn't affect their position they are at the top of the standings so PSG can focus more on playing matches in the Champions League if they want to achieve a better position and be able to reach the final because competition in the Champions League is not an easy thing considering that the opponents are clubs that always dominate the title and have good experience.

[rendravolt]

I know how happy it feels for a player to be able to realize playing in his long-standing dream team and the previous feeling of imprisonment has finally disappeared completely. Many people already know about Mbappe's move to Real Madrid in the summer and it is even reported that he is already looking for a house to live in Madrid with his mother. I mean, can you postpone this until the time comes and finish the remaining matches at the same time? everyone hopes for you friend.

Mbappe was seen watching the second half of the match with his mother after being taken off in the second half by Luis Enrique and like what we saw last week against Rennes, this was repeated when PSG played Monaco. It really doesn't reflect how big this match is that PSG had to give relief to their star players to get more rest. The bettors who initially hoped for PSG finally started to become pessimistic after finding out that Mbappe was withdrawn early and I became one of the people who was annoyed and at the same time funny to see this club's behavior in giving freedom to one of its special players.

In the end the match ended in a draw without any goals, even though I had predicted there would be 2 to 3 goals but personal matters were beyond everyone's predictions.

Monaco is not a weak team this season unlike last season that they finished in six place in table but this time around they are after champion league zone, but yesterday match really surprised me because Monaco don't have good record in times of home match compared to away match, but to hold PSG to draw that show they are  very serious, if brest can win their next match the points gap between them and PSG will reduce and will increase between them and Monaco, with the way am viewing things PSG will win the league and brest will be the runner-up, the third place will be between Monaco and Nice, Monaco are just in third place temporary, if Nice can win their next match against Toulouse but I find it hard for Nice to win because of their performance, I can guarantee Nice win because yesterday match between PSG and Monaco, I was shocked to see the results.

PSG was leading the game by owning more ball possessions but monaco was able creating more shot on target rather than PSG. it's surprising me how no goal happened from this match. There's something wrong with PSG and monaco. These clubs have been so wasteful in this game.
As you can see that monaco and PSG wasted so many chances. This is also making no change in the current standing. PSG is still leading the competition with very big gap to the second place. PSG has been performing so badly especially for the attacking lines.
These attackers were unable in maximizIng its chances to scored at least one goal against monaco. The thing that impressed me is barcola. This guy is relaly having a lot of potential to be the next great winger.

Enrique has been getting very good talent to replace mbappe and he was barcola. The bad result against monaco can be a good lesson for PSG to perform better in the upcoming games. It can still lead the game with very big gap. I see that several time PSG's players are always shooting straight to the ball instead of aiming the free space to put ball in the back of the net.
This is really awful performance from the expensive attackers owned by PSG. I salute to the defensive line of monaco caused by it was able blocking so many attacks from SPG. Totally unpredictable result.
It's hard to understand that the result is very different compared to the first leg.
