French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Salahmu]

PSG is going to face Reims in the next match at Princes Park. I think this should be easy for PSG on their home ground. Even though PSG has not been able to win the last two matches in domestic competition, this one should not be much of a challenge for PSG. We all know that the biggest challenge for PSG is actually the Champions League. And in Ligue 1 They are ahead by quite a lot of points. So even if they drop points or lose, which I do not expect them to do, I believe they are still going to be okay. But at the same time looking at the current form of Reims(L-W-D-L-L) I do not think it is going to be anything other than a win for PSG.

This are the kind of match that would help PSG increase there points the more on the league table so that there would not be any chance for other teams to have a close points with them, so perhaps I agree with you that the match will be very easy for PSG because there performance on this French league is the best and with how consistent they have been, they have an advantage over other teams, however Reims on the other hand has not been playing well this season that's why they are still at the middle on the league table so perhaps how can a team like that challenge PSG that has the best performance and quality player on this league, so I believe is a win match for PSG because for the past Seven matches Reims has played they have only won one match which is a big proof that they are not consistent and they are currently on the nine position on the table so if they lose this match other teams that's below them will actually utilize the opportunity to compete the position with them.

Too bad to see that Stade Brest will lose this game. Even though I think it wouldn't really have mattered anyway, it may at least have made the league a little bit more exciting again. Now PSG has a great chance to increase their advantage to 12 points. Hopefully we will soon know more about Mbappe and what his next destination is, or is it already safe to say that he will go to Real Madrid? Haven't heard any news in a while now, which is quite unusual for him.

Well, exactly what I predicted in my post a few days ago, that the match between Lens and Brest would be won by the home team. even though Brest is actually in 2nd place, and Lens was previously in 6th position. however, in terms of player material, these two teams can be said to be evenly matched. what's different is that Brest appears quite consistent because it doesn't have a busy schedule in various competitions. Meanwhile, Lens had slumped, especially at the start of the season. plus, busy schedules make it difficult for them to balance their performance.

Well, after Lens did not take part in any competition other than just focusing on Ligue 1. Lens was able to improve its performance again even though it was unstable. Currently, Lens is in 4th place in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Brest remains in the runner up position. However, AS Manaco is ready to reduce the difference in points from Brest, especially if Monaco succeeds in overthrowing Strasbourg. in this way, competition for runner up will be even tighter. As for today's match, PSG will host Reims at the Parc des Princess. On paper, PSG should be able to beat the away team smoothly. but because PSG also has a match against Nice in the Coupe de France, especially since this is the quarter-finals. meaning, PSG will share its focus. although in reality, Nice is also an easy opponent. but in football, anything can happen. Well, let's just wait for the PSG versus Reims match to be held.

In the 7th minute Reims scored a goal and in the 17th and 19th minutes PSG answered the goal and one of them was through a mistake by a Reims player who ended up scoring an own goal. I think this will be one of the tightest matches this week and seeing the result has turned to 2-1 makes me curious about how this match will end up. Of course I want so many goals to be scored and in the first half alone we were surprised by 3 quick goals at the start of this match.

I think it will be easier for PSG to secure a win at home and although Reims is sometimes quite tough but in fact they have conceded 2 goals so far. I bet on PSG winning but to be honest I'm still doubtful about this slim lead. I hope there will be more goals scored later, especially in the second half and I am again curious whether Luis Enrique will play Mbappe in the second half? considering he was on the bench today.

We all know that the biggest challenge for PSG is actually the Champions League. And in Ligue 1 They are ahead by quite a lot of points.

But at the same time looking at the current form of Reims(L-W-D-L-L) I do not think it is going to be anything other than a win for PSG.

PSG will continue to win matches without any solid opponents in their domestic league, facing Reims shouldn't be something for Les Parisiens to worry about because hosting their opponents at Parc des Princes stadium explains everything. PSG is an elite team and winning becomes easier for them when they're able to place their hands of hitting good targets this season. Luis Enrique want it all, the France Ligue One title and also the UEFA Champions League title, these are his top priorities and he's working entirely to ensure he achieve this fight.

This is the reason why sometimes is very difficult to be certain on a match even when the club has the upper chance of wining because just like this match between PSG and Reims, who would have think that Reims will be this strong against PSG when they have not been able to win most of the smaller clubs they meet but look at how determine they are on this match, before the match started I was thinking PSG will win them more than three goals on the first half because there both performance is incomparable but I'm surprised with the way PSG is scoring them and they keep equalizing, well there is still time let see if PSG will be able to achieve a good result before the end of the match.

The match of PSG vs Reims team in French Soccer League has already started. Both teams are tied with 2-2 goals. I still don't know which team will win today's match. But PSG team is on the 1st position of the points table so expect PSG team to score one more goal.  Today's match will be won. If the players of both teams do not score any goals today, the match will be a draw.

Yeah, it's sad to see Brest lose after being such a refreshing force in the league this season. You're right—a win for them could've sparked the title competition instead of merely PSG pulling away. However, even if Brest had won, PSG's domination seems unbreakable this year. Their gap is growing since they're in a league of their own

I'm as clueless as you about Mbappe. That's unusually quiet, right? His next move was usually rumored. Real Madrid was always a possibility, but the quiet is deafening. Perhaps we'll have to wait. Between you and me, I wouldn't be surprised if he wears Madrid white by the transfer window's close

[Strongkored]

If the draw really becomes a reality, I am sure that Enrique will only maintain the physical and fitness of the players so as not to work too hard to win in League 1 because Enrique goal is only to be able to get a new history of winning the UCL title.

The result was a draw and maybe you are right that this is because Luiz Enrique wants to maintain the physical and fitness of his players, especially since PSG already knows the results of the match from their rival Brest who lost to Lens, so PSG will not be too affected if they only draw with Reims, although I'm sure PSG won't targeting only a draw, especially since their opponents always face difficulties when playing against PSG, but this has happened and PSG was of course surprised by the second goal from Reims and they tried to score again but failed to maximize all opportunities so they had to be satisfied with a draw.
Three matches with only a draw is certainly not something that looks good, but because their position is safe enough so that is quite acceptable, PSG is quite lucky with their competitors who performed worse than them by losing so that the point difference can still be maintained well.

The match ended in a 2:2 draw with both teams sharing points, It's another disappointing result from the home team PSG for falling to utilize them home advantage to win against a team like Reims who is struggling to be among the first ten team in the league table but PSG couldn't win them due to their good defense and wonderful saves by their goal keeper helps them to secure a draw from away. PSG dominated the game, got more goal attempts and corners but at the end of the day the game ended in a draw making PSG to be 10 points ahead of the second placed team Brest in the league table after 25 matches played.

Before the start of the game, I'd wished for just one thing, thst was actually PSG to win but it's really funny how the match ended other wise, PSG having to share points with Reims is actually to me disappointing because PSG had led in the game and still allowed Reims to come equalize which I see as an attempt to possibly win the game but for the resilience PSG had to monster at some point in the game.

The superiority of PSG wasn't obvious enough to me in this game, they would have had a far better dominance and gos in a games as this compared to other average teams in the Ligue 1 they do play against a d yet win without much stress and will be able to dominate the game well enough, though PSG tried with their dominance but I had expected it reflected well enough in their results but it turned out thst they were not really productive as all there goals weren't safeguarded well enough against their opponent canceling it, all the goals were gotten in the first half.

They were both unable to get any goals again in the second half of the game, they were both goalless in the second hd , pSG got an early goal in the first half of the game which got me thinking that they were definitely going to win this game but then it wasn't long enough Reims got an equalizer a d PSG was actually playing from home which gave me more reason to think they would win without stressing but the couldn't.

I'm not sure why Luis Enrique didn't play his best squad in the match against Reims. He chose to keep many of his main players and chose to play second-string players at the start of the match, but things didn't go smoothly as Reims completely ruined that plan by scoring 2 goals in the first half.

It may be true that Luis Enrique wants to maintain the physical fitness of his main players after winning the second leg of the Champions League against Real Sociedad, but saving a lot of energy ahead of the French Cup quarter-final match is also a reason. Of course it was surprising because in the end PSG failed to secure 3 points at home, which was their third draw in three consecutive matches. But PSG still leads the standings with a 10 point advantage where Brest, PSG's closest competitor, also lost the match against Marseille.

The top team in France is having a tough time against a struggling side like Reims. They probably thought they could easily beat them, but dropping points is not a good sign. It's hard to win without having Mbappe in the lineup. PSG's recent performances in Ligue 1 must be disappointing for their fans. They haven't won in three consecutive games, which is surprising. Despite this, they still lead the league by 10 points, showing how weak the competition is right now. I hope they can recover soon and start winning again.

Brest is not a stable team, they looked good at the start of the season but slowly started to decline, against Lens yesterday, they couldn't regulate the rhythm of the game until they finally conceded to Aguilar in the 32nd minute.

PSG will soon face Reims, based on head to head, PSG always wins against Reims, that's why i choose PSG in my bet today.

As happened in the current league, small teams are surprising because they have a performance that was beyond our expectations but now they are starting to look helpless, it seem that what happened to Girona in La Liga and also Brest in Ligue 1, the defeat to Lens and broke Brest current unbeaten trend in the league, and I think this defeat will be a devastating blow to brest who are trying to secure second place from the chase Monaco, as for Lens, of course, the victory is quite meaningful because it is slowly starting to cut the gap between Lens and the current Champions League zone.

Playing at home today, Psg actually got a negative result from the Ligue 1 mid-table team, although PSG played at home and fielded their best squad but instead they failed to maintain the victory, the 2-2 draw obtained by PSG today certainly did not affect their position in the standings bcause indeed they were too far to be chased by other teams,  It's quite strange when psg actually have to be held back by mid-table teams., when psg look like they are unbeaten in the league, but that's football that is difficult to predict.

But it looks like Reims has the ability to be able to overcome PSG because afterall, last season Reims also managed to hold PSG to a draw in two matches last season. But in this season, Reims only managed to hold PSG to a draw in the second meeting but indeed, this draw was a good result for Reims and bad for PSG. Because after all, thefirst goal that PSG had in this match was an own goal and also, Reims managed to score first in this match and with results like that, then obviously this is a bad result for PSG. But maybe Enrique also still has to becareful to keep his main squad good for the Champions League match and therefore, the rotation will still be done because considering also PSG's position is safe at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.

Brest has shown great improvements in this season. And I do believe that they are the team which has the best chance to finish in the second position. Of course, they will not be able to win the league title, because that spot is almost reserved for PSG almost every season. I would have liked to see some other club challenging PSG for the title. But it seems like nobody has what it takes to do that.

But anyway, Brest looks really good at the moment. I think it is going to be a pretty good achievement for them if they can compete in the Champions League next season by finishing in the top three this season.

The game ended up with the same score you mentioned. Mbappe wasn't in the starting eleven today. I assume Luis Enrique wanted to rest him after the Champions League game they played a few days ago. He entered the game quite late and couldn't save his team from getting that draw. But I don't think there is any problem for PSG at all anyway.

Because currently they are still 10 points ahead of Brest.    I don't expect any other team to perform miracle from now on of course. PSG should be reaching the league title comfortably. I'm just following the competition for Champions League spots.

In Ligue 1 we have mostly teams are in-consist just because of this we have too much fluctuation in league table as well like Nice which was at the second spot for long time now slipping and having trouble to stay in top five and Brest is having good chance for the staying at the top ranks as their record is better than many others but still they need to improve their quality if they want to keep things at the top level most chances PSG will stay at the top with others are most like Brest.

Monaco and Lens because they are doing good performance and their quality is also better than others. PSG fail to keep things at the top and have another draw at home against Reims even this result is not going to have any impact on league table, but things are not ideal for the PSG look like coach is trying his different strategies for having things without Mbappé in next season.

PSG which is currently having 10 points lead from the second spotted team Brest fail to break their draw streak and now have third draw match in domestic league against Reims which is surely poor from them but as match and things are going to look like now we will have new strategy from the Spanish coach Luis Enrique which is trying to have team without Kylian Mbappé which is set to leave this team at the end of this season, but strategy is not working for them as they fail to keep things at the better level.

At home against Reims they were ended 2–2 at the half-time but in second half completely fail to have anything which give them better result so Reims lucky to have one point from this match in second half we have Mbappé for 20 minutes, but this also not works for the PSG.

Well, exactly what I predicted in my post a few days ago, that the match between Lens and Brest would be won by the home team. even though Brest is actually in 2nd place, and Lens was previously in 6th position. however, in terms of player material, these two teams can be said to be evenly matched. what's different is that Brest appears quite consistent because it doesn't have a busy schedule in various competitions. Meanwhile, Lens had slumped, especially at the start of the season. plus, busy schedules make it difficult for them to balance their performance.

Well, after Lens did not take part in any competition other than just focusing on Ligue 1. Lens was able to improve its performance again even though it was unstable. Currently, Lens is in 4th place in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Brest remains in the runner up position. However, AS Manaco is ready to reduce the difference in points from Brest, especially if Monaco succeeds in overthrowing Strasbourg. in this way, competition for runner up will be even tighter. As for today's match, PSG will host Reims at the Parc des Princess. On paper, PSG should be able to beat the away team smoothly. but because PSG also has a match against Nice in the Coupe de France, especially since this is the quarter-finals. meaning, PSG will share its focus. although in reality, Nice is also an easy opponent. but in football, anything can happen. Well, let's just wait for the PSG versus Reims match to be held.

I agree that Lens had a slight advantage here even though Lens wasn't playing as well recently.

But once again we now saw that PSG isn't getting challenged hard enough in the league. No matter what they do, whether they win their games, tie their games or lose their games, it is still enough to be the winner of the matchday.

Mbappe didn't even have to start the game and yet it doesn't matter. They have now had three draws in a row and yet they are 10 points ahead of Brest. This is speaking volumes about the condition the league is in. If I was a top player, I couldn't imagine playing in a league that is as boring as the French league. It is really one of the worst leagues in Europe. In case of Mbappe it was about becoming a billionaire for him. Otherwise why would he ever choose a club like PSG over Real Madrid in the most important phase of his career? Nobody would do that. If Messi or Ramos make a lot of money with one of their final contracts in their career, ok I get that point. But for Mbappe it must feel wrong to be playing there except for the financial aspect.

PSG drew 3 times in a row, in my opinion it was very disappointing. However, what is even more disappointing is that the points gap is still quite wide between PSG and its closest competitor Brest. We can imagine that if Enrique took all the matches in Ligue 1 seriously, they could lock up the trophy earlier so that a number of matches in Ligue 1 would no longer be interesting.

Overall, I don't see these three draws as a setback for PSG, in fact there is a chance that they can still draw in the next three matches, because Brest will not necessarily be able to consistently get closer to PSG. Ligue 1 is too easy for PSG, an ease that makes them weak when playing in the Champions League.

On the other hand, in Ligue 1 Enrique can give more playing minutes to young players and second-string players, as well as save a number of key players for more important matches in the Champions League. So far PSG have only recorded 1 defeat in Ligue 1 and 8 draws, and they are still too comfortable at the top of the standings.

This is the 3rd time Paris Saint Germain has had to draw in a row. Actually, this is not good for them, but they are still safe considering that their points distance from 2nd place is 10 points after Brest failed to get any points this week. I don't think anyone can stop Paris Saint Germain with the 10 points gap they currently have, especially since the clubs below them can't provide anything special, such as getting a good record in the matches they play.

Even though there is still a chance for other clubs to catch up, what Paris Saint Germain has makes their chances increasingly slim. I can say they will be champions again in Ligue 1 this season. Their task now is how to do their best in the Champions League. From the start, their target was the Champions League, they always wanted the title there, but they always failed to achieve it. Their mentality is still lacking to compete there, as proven by their repeated failures and I don't even remember how many times they reached the final and failed.
