French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Altryist]

A draw in the match against Clermont will not put pressure on PSG position, Brest as PSG closest competitor is still 10 points behind. I think Enrique has lowered their level of seriousness in Ligue 1, because they are already in a safe position at the top of the standings, with just a few games left they will lock up this season trophy. There are now 6 remaining Ligue 1 matches, if Brest stumbles in the remaining matches, PSG will lock up the Ligue 1 trophy more quickly. I predict PSG will sweep the remaining matches in the future, at least they will still be difficult for any team to beat.

The Champions League will be PSG main priority at the moment, that is a dream they have not achieved at the moment. You could say that this season they are a little lucky because Barcelona is not as tough as last season, apart from that Enrique really understands the club. So in my opinion PSG has a better chance of advancing to the semifinals, because in terms of squad depth they are also better, PSG just lacks experience. It is possible that PSG can advance to the final this season, as we know Enrique still has one of the best players in his squad at the moment, namely Mbappe.

If Mbappe entered the field only in the 67th minute of the match, then it is clear that Enrique gave the players a rest and the importance of this match was too low, since now all the attention of PSG is focused on the upcoming matches with Barcelona. By the way, it was Mbappe who assisted Ramos, which once again proves how important a player he is for PSG. And in League 1 everything has already been decided, in a few matches they will become champions ahead of schedule.

Enrique underestimated Clermont Foot and tried to rest his key players and that cost him two points! The sad part is that Clermont Foot is the last team in Ligue 1 and expected to relegate. PSG have to wait until Kylian Mbappe join the game in the second half to make an assist for Ramos to score. Poor result before facing Barcelona this Wednesday..

Even though it's not a better result for PSG playing at home, it also won't hinder PSG from winning trophies this season because they have too many points compared to their rivals in League 1. However, considering their performance is like that. This Wednesday they will face Barcelona in the Champions League, of course this will be very worrying because without a key player like Mbappe, PSG doesn't seem to have the strength to win. Even though the opponent itself is the bottom team in League 1 which PSG should be able to beat more easily.

[hahay]

PSG are currently drawing at home, it's 1-1 but it's not a problem for them because there is no team in the league that can rival them.
I think they are already champions, that's the worst thing about the French league, there is only 1 team and every year it's the same, every once in a while a surprise team comes out and becomes champion.

There are 6 weeks until the end of the league. In my opinion, there is no rival to Paris Saint Germain in the French league. They are at a very high level in the league in terms of staff and economic power. They also managed to direct this economic power in line with their own interests. We can say that the championship for League 1 belongs to Paris Saint Germain.

But atleast, PSG has not been able to set a record like Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga with 11 consecutive trophies and thus, I think PSG dominance can still be thwarted by other teams in Ligue 1. Although indeed, quite often the efforts of other teams also fail because after all, although PSG started the season with bad results, but as the season progressed PSG was really still able to return to the top of the table with Mbappe great performance.

So, if for example Mbappe is confirmed to leave in the transfer window later, then of course it might be a chance for otherteams to win the Ligue 1 title. Because after all, it is possible that PSG will experience difficult efforts to get consistent results because of Mbappe departure. So yes, let's just wait for what will happen next season whether PSG will still be able to win the trophy or not because PSG no longer have Mbappe in the squad.

[Palakka]

If Mbappe entered the field only in the 67th minute of the match, then it is clear that Enrique gave the players a rest and the importance of this match was too low, since now all the attention of PSG is focused on the upcoming matches with Barcelona. By the way, it was Mbappe who assisted Ramos, which once again proves how important a player he is for PSG. And in League 1 everything has already been decided, in a few matches they will become champions ahead of schedule.

Mbappe made a big impact on the match with the assists he gave, throughout the match PSG looked quite depressed because Clermont foot who played carefree in the match, because indeed their position that could no longer be saved in the league was able to make PSG players work hard enough in the match, lucky enough for PSG because Enrique realized that they needed Mbappe in the match even though maybe a little late to play him but At least Mbappe can avoid PSG from a humiliating defeat to the relegation zone team, indeed the result of the game no longer affects PSG's position at the top of the Ligue 1 standings but I think it would be quite embarrassing if the star-studded PSG team actually lost to a team that is confirmed to be relegated next season.

Indeed, PSG is currently focusing its main players to fight Barcelona in the Champions League, but doesn't the draw indicate that PSG has a poor reserve squad and without qualified squad depth between the main and reserve players, of course PSG will find it difficult to compete in the Champions League, besides that the inclusion of mbappe in the match indicates if mbappe has been the life of PSG's game,  So when PSG do not get the good player who can replace Mbappe next season, it is certain that PSG will stumble next season, especially when they play in the Champions League.

Even though it's not a better result for PSG playing at home, it also won't hinder PSG from winning trophies this season because they have too many points compared to their rivals in League 1. However, considering their performance is like that. This Wednesday they will face Barcelona in the Champions League, of course this will be very worrying because without a key player like Mbappe, PSG doesn't seem to have the strength to win. Even though the opponent itself is the bottom team in League 1 which PSG should be able to beat more easily.

PSG is actually up the table enough to not be able to win at least the Ligue 1 trophy this season, they are at the top of the table with enough of point difference away from others which actually means they can win the trophy if they are able to maintain their position on the table quiet long enough till the end of the season without having to loose too many games again because if the loose more games they may have their position threatened.

Teams who are not actually sure of been able to win the Ligue 1 this season are others who are most definitely not close to the top of the table and are not even anywhere close by virtue of their points so far on the league table. Barcelona will definitely pose a serious challenge to PSG especially playing without their key player mbappe but then if they managed to get through this, maybe they will be able to make up for it in their second leg of the game so I'm very certain it's not really going to be a big issues with PSG getting to be able to tackle Barcelona because even the Spanish teams isn't in a very perfect form too this season.

A draw in this game on Wednesday will definitely keep PSG at a safe spot pending their next meeting which will then be a determinant to who stays and who leaves the champions league this season but then I'm very optimistic about Barcelona because they are really depending on this as something they should see as achievement for the season unlike PSG who has gotten their domestic lol at their ease to win.

Yes, this draw has no effect on them, because they are still very comfortably at the top of the standings. However, the problem is that I can't stop thinking that they should be held to a draw by a team at the bottom of the standings and that happened at their own headquarters. Even though they didn't lose, in my opinion this is still an embarrassing result for a team like Paris Saint Germain.
It should be remembered that they are at the top of the standings, and even though they are playing with second tier players, in terms of quality they are still better than the players Clermont has. They are also preparing for the Champions League, so they should be able to take advantage of this match to make their mentality bigger too. However, they did not show this and they had to be held to a draw by the worst team in Ligue 1 this season. This is a result they should not have gotten, and I think they were really disappointing in this match.

[tusandii]

PSG are currently drawing at home, it's 1-1 but it's not a problem for them because there is no team in the league that can rival them.
I think they are already champions, that's the worst thing about the French league, there is only 1 team and every year it's the same, every once in a while a surprise team comes out and becomes champion.

There are 6 weeks until the end of the league. In my opinion, there is no rival to Paris Saint Germain in the French league. They are at a very high level in the league in terms of staff and economic power. They also managed to direct this economic power in line with their own interests.

But atleast, PSG has not been able to set a record like Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga with 11 consecutive trophies and thus, I think PSG dominance can still be thwarted by other teams in Ligue 1.

Because after all, it is possible that PSG will experience difficult efforts to get consistent results because of Mbappe departure. So yes, let's just wait for what will happen next season whether PSG will still be able to win the trophy or not because PSG no longer have Mbappe in the squad.

It seems that it depends on Enrique, who plays an important role as a coach, whether he will be able to manage PSG players well even without Mbappe.
I guess that if there is an initial possibility of losing Mbappe there will be a lot of changes that will affect the decline in performance and give other clubs the opportunity to feel like they are in first place leading League 1.
But if Enrique succeeds in managing the PSG players well, there will certainly be no other club that can replace PSG's dominance.
Currently we also don't know who will replace Mbappe and if PSG surprises them by bringing in Osimhen, it is likely that PSG will continue to dominate League 1 without being defeated.

Maybe it is too much to hope that Osimhen can accept PSG's offer but for me that is also very impossible and if there is no replacement for Mbappe, the coming season will be a bad season for Enrique and PSG.

PSG is too overpowered in the French league, they are indeed with one defeat or draw at the end of the season will not affect PSG, unless indeed if they lose control and in the last 6 matches will experience defeat, of course Brast will be able to quickly catch up, but it is almost impossible for PSG to experience, so we don't need to worry about PSG in the French league at this time, they are very dominant and also the trophy will only belong to them.

The draw against Clermont was unexpected, but I think PSG has more energy for big matches.

[QueenVera]

PSG being matched by a relegation team is definitely not a good result for PSG, even PSG had to concede first before Ramos could equalize the score 1-1, I am not surprised by the final result of the game and began to understand why Enrique has always relied on their main players when they faced small teams like Reims, Nice, Nantes and even Marseille so far,  Because in the game against Clermont Foot I realized that their reserves and young players were really useless, and Ramos who was PSG's main player must change the course of the match in that game before their lose.

PSG's main squad contains star players but apparently their reserve squad is like a useless player because it is unable to beat a team in the relegation zone, PSG's position is indeed quite safe this and even the draw will not affect their chances of winning Ligue 1 this season, but I think from the draw result Enrique can see if actually the depth of the squad, especially the reserves owned by PSG at this time is not enough to they can compete in the Champions League and it is only right for Enrique to improve that next season if he is still PSG coach.

PSG are already League champions and they understand that they’ve got the UCL im less than a week and as such I won’t be blaming them alot though. Yes they’ve already done the major work which was to get maximum points early enough to be crowned league champions and in this match you can still see that they were able to get point too.

 ⁠Well if you want to criticize I will say it’s still cool because it’s going to help them while going forward because you can’t compare their opponents to them in any way. Many expected PSG to be running riots in this match though bit the reverse was the case.⁠This means Enrique has got some technical jobs to do as regard the way this PSG should handle matches because you can’t expect them to do this nex season and still be able to contest for the league. They meed reinforcement in this PSG side and they need to acquire major players who’ll be able to turn things around in split seconds.

 ⁠Them losing Mbappe will be a very big deal because you can’t imagine how they’ll be able to perform without Kylian in the squad. This will really open up the squad and show how much they’re lacking in the team generally. I feel the club needs to make crucial signings if they want to be able to make a statement in The UCL next season because they’re not having a formidable team yet talk more of having good reserve because that’s what’s needed in the UCL as your main squad might not be able to hold on for long period in the UCL main match and as such you need a very strong reserve.

The Paris Saint-Germain in this season are the best so far and they are currently leading with 10 points ahead of the next club who is the second position in the League 1 table standing and that has shown the level of prowess that PSG has shown at the league stage.

That can also be replicated in their Champions League which they have as their next fixture. I feel like Mbappe wants to do it again for the club before he finally leaves since talks have garnered around the space discussing his possibility of leaving the PSG any moment from now. It's a good outing for PSG this year and they have continuously shown their capacity to be one of the elite clubs in the German League.

No, Ligue 1 and Champions League are two different world, much more different than many of the other leagues are in comparison to the Champions League. In most other leagues, especially in the Premier League, the teams have some serious competition throughout the season and that keeps them focused. Name one team that you consider serious competition for PSG in Ligue 1. I don't know a single team that I believe could compete with PSG over a longer period of time. They can only wait for the Champions League games and then receive their reality check. We know how this often ends for them.

It's true, PSG is very dominant in Ligue 1 and no team has been able to break its dominance in the last few seasons. The series of draws they have won will not put their position under threat from their closest competitors, which means I think they will be able to win the Ligue 1 trophy again this season. It's a little disappointing when PSG draws a lot, especially for bettors who placed bets on their win. This seems like a very vulnerable period to bet on PSG winning, although they are the favorite team who can win easily.

With a secure position at the top of the standings, Luis Enrique will save the energy of his key players in the Champions League match later, which is more important because that is their main goal. There is no excessive worry about PSG performance in Ligue 1, what needs to be worried about is their match in the Champions League. Barcelona is a tough opponent, Xavi squad also has better experience, PSG must work hard to get through to the semi finals.

Paris Saint-Germain are formidable and competitive in league games, despite dropping points, there's no presence of threating opponents like other leagues. PSG will consider their domestic league lesser because they've already accomplished good records and topping their rivals with significant points, Luis Enrique and his men will have to focused more on UEFA Champions League because that's their ultimate target this season. They're facing Barcelona and hosting the Blaugrana at Parc des Princes stadium will be one of amazing events to watch.

[Slow death]

PSG couldn't win because the coach decided to rotate the team, he probably wanted to make sure the good players had rest because of the European champions' league game, he knew he was playing against a very weak team, the problem with that is that PSG in the past had a history of having a weak defense and he managed to solve this problem by placing certain players in the defense, but when he rotated the team he didn't put the good players in the defense so this caused that old PSG to have a weak defense and they were playing and as a result PSG conceded a goal and they could have lost in that game

This shows that PSG is still not a very strong team, they are only strong when all their best players are on the field, the problem is that their best players are few to the point that the team does not have good reserve players and cannot rotate in the team without the team losing, and it's a very bad thing for that to happen to a team that has a lot of money. It seems to me that PSG's problem is the bad choices it has made when it comes to signing players, I hope that next time PSG makes good choices when it comes to signing a player

PSG: 28 games, 1 defeat, 18 wins, 9 draws, 64 goals conceded, 24 goals conceded

In my opinion, these data are not good, I know that PSG will be champions, but knowing that they are playing against weak teams, PSG shouldn't have many draws, they should have many victories and few draws and few defeats. also having conceded 24 goals and something close, knowing that they are in a league of weak teams, to give you an idea of what I'm talking about, Arsenal has 31 games and conceded 24 goals and is the leader of the premier league, a league that has strong teams, so psg needs to improve a lot

[Leviathan.007]

Mbappe is being rude. no matter if he is leaving the team for Real Madrid or no matter if he has problems with PSG and he is going to stop working this team. He doesn't have a good relationship with Enrique. While a player should always respect their coach when he is playing for the team, we saw in the game between PSG and Clermont that Mbappe was frustrated with Enrique which is not good for any player, especially when there are many people watching the agme he should think more about his actions.
Maybe paying too much attention to this player to force his stay with a huge amount of money made him think he could have this behavior with their coach.

Kylian Mbappe is not one of those players that should be criticized for being rude because over the years, he's never had any kind of altercation with managers that he's played under. The reason why he's been furious in recent games is because of the recent treatments he's getting from the manager of Paris Saint Germaine Luis Enrique. The Spanish manager have recently grown the habit of either not starting matches with Kylian Mbappe or subbing him off in the early stages of the second half on games he was included in the starting line up. For a player of Kylian Mbappe's status, you don't expect him to be happy with such kind of treatment from the manager and that's why he's not been cool with his recent attitudes with the club manager. I don't want anyone to term it as being rude in my own opinion

Enrique certainly has a better understanding when deciding whether or not to include Mbappe in his starting Xi, or even when he reserves him first. What we can conclude is that Mbappe relationship with the club is not harmonious, because he decided to refuse a contract extension and potentially harm PSG because of the free transfer.

Mbappe reaction is acceptable, it is very natural for a player, he feels he does not deserve to be withdrawn. But Enrique is also looking further into the future, it could be that Enrique wants to save Mabppe for the Champions League, and doesn't want the player to suffer an unwanted injury.

Mbappe influence is quite large, and Enrique does not want to lose this player in more important matches. We will never know for sure what Mbappe relationship with the club is at the moment, what is clear is that he is still a PSG player at this time, and he must respect every decision made by the coach.

Barcelona is a tough opponent, Xavi squad also has better experience, PSG must work hard to get through to the semi finals.

PSG only disappoints the bettors who believe that PSG will always win, several times the parlay is cut off because PSG it will definitely be very disappointing for the bettors, there are even my friends who are frustrated because they use large funds for parlay but lost because of PSG.

Barcelona cannot be underestimated, energy must be intact against them because Barecelona is not an easy team to beat and they are quite experienced in the Champions league, I think the same thing as you that Luis Enrique is saving energy for the Champion League, maybe Luis is having more hope for his team in the Champion league, at least reaching the semi-finals is a good step.

From my observation Luis Enrique is reserving Kylian Mbappé for the club's Champions League game against Barcelona. Secondly, the coach is preparing the club for the departure of the French striker. PSG team have been built around Mbappé for a long time, there is need to prepare the club for his absence since he has shown interest in leaving for Real Madrid. It is also common to see players get frustrated when they are not including in a match because they want to score more goals and win more awards. It's also great to see that Enrique was able to manage the situation because coaches like Antonio Conte,, Jose Mourinho and others might also verbally attack such players.

[Jossque]

Brest defeated Metz 4-3 and got an important 3 points. Both teams were in desperate need of this win.Metz are in the relegation zone and want to play for at least a play-off place to stay in the league.Brest needed a win to keep their place in the league.The points difference between their rivals is almost negligible and they can't risk it.Despite conceding a goal in the first minute, Brest were in complete control of the game as they closed the first half with a 3-1 lead.Although they managed to increase the difference to 3 in the second half, they conceded 2 goals in the last 15 minutes.
