French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[onecall123]

Kylian Mbappe never stops scoring goals and in last night's match against Lorient he also contributed through the brace he scored. It feels like PSG's steps to immediately securing the Ligue One title are getting closer and they only need a few more matches to close the season with the title. Luis Enrique also does not save his players' energy and they will remain consistent if the chemistry on the field continues to be maintained.

This is very important for the next match and therefore Luis Enrique's decision not to rest several of his key players is very correct. On the other hand. Lorient, who suffered a crushing 1-4 defeat, also have to be patient considering they are still stuck in the relegation zone and they have to fight to get points in the remaining matches. Of course they want to start a new journey next season and this season I don't expect Lorient to experience a continuous drastic decline.

No surprise that Kylian Mbappe keeps scoring goals and leading the Ballon d'Or race. After the win over Lorient, PSG is close to clinching the Ligue 1 title. It was a showdown between Kylian Mbappe and Dembele, with both players scoring braces. PSG secured all three points against Lorient thanks to a brace and an assist from their captain.
Lorient is struggling in the relegation zone, so I didn't expect much from them. As anticipated, PSG was in control right from the beginning, and they defeated FC Lorient 4-1 convincingly. Clearly, FC Lorient needs some motivation to improve their performance next season or in their remaining matches this season.

There is no points count in the knockout rounds, the points calculation system only applies to the group stages. One of the teams will go to the final in any way, including being determined by a penalty shootout if both teams draw in both away and home legs. PSG is one of the most likely to be in the final, but Dortmund is not a team that should be underestimated based on its track record in the Champions League this season.

Previously, PSG and Dortmund were in the same group in the Champions League this season. PSG won 1x and drew 1x, so we probably know who is the favorite to advance to the final. However, anyone can qualify for the final, but if the opponent is Real Madrid then the title belongs to the king (Real Madrid).

But I personally hope the Champions League final this season will be a match between PSG v Bayern Munich because if that happens, then ofcourse the final match will be more interesting because PSG and Bayern Munich are not teams that always qualify for the Champions League final like Real Madrid. Although indeed, it will certainly not be easy for Bayern Munich to beat Real Madrid but for some reason, I think Bayern Munich at this moment still has a chance to qualify for the Champions League final, even though in the semifinals that Bayern Munich must play against Real Madrid. Also about PSG, although only playing againts Dortmund in the semifinals is certainly still a difficult match. But yes,because PSG position and situation at this moment is safe at the top of the Ligue 1 standings, then ofcourse PSG must be able to maximize the chances it has in the Champions League also this season.

I agree with your point about this because if we have Real Madrid in final then most chances we will be having all one-sided affair because Real Madrid is surely one of the best, and they are having amazing record so for the sack of game and entertainment we need this final between PSG and Bayern Munich as this will be competitive, and both teams are on same level of quality and performance even after beating Barcelona now PSG is having some good confidence, and they can go through for their first title under Luis Enrique and this would be also good for the coach because if he is able to achieve this historic success then in coming season we will have better things for him without Kylian Mbappé.

Luis Enrique is one of the best coach and having good experience of winning games in all competition with this win could be landmark for his career here at PSG because after this PSG management will be tried to keep him for long time they also could be able to have stable team for the future without stars and this will be good for the Ligue 1 as well.

Considering that they are currently advantaged in terms of points in the league, I think it would be right for them to rotate in the French league. Imagine if Mbappe was injured? Something happens that reduces the chances of reaching the finals of the Champions League or even winning the championship. That's why I think resting Mbappe as a rotation would be a good option. Other important players like this also need to be rested.

Currently there is no burden for PSG to play in the league, so Enrique should indeed start to guard and avoid his main players from injury now, the victory against Lorient yesterday further solidified PSG's position at the top of the table and actually PSG could celebrate their championship this season if Monaco lost other match against Lille, but unfortunately Monaco's victory forced PSG to celebrate their title next week when facing le Havre on the condition that PSG must win and although the difference in points with Monaco remain 11 points, but Monaco can no longer catch up with the points with only 3 games left.

For the French Ligue 1 there is no burden for them because they have already won the title this season as there are just matches left and eleven points gap ahead of AS Monaco. Despite this, they don't have to relax because they still have champions league match ahead and their opponent Borussia Dortmund is a strong team that they have to come prepared to beat. I love the fact that PSG is doing the right thing by winning their matches and scoring as many goals as possible, making good use of every opportunity they see. This will make them remain coordinated and in their top form as they face the apex league matches with the hope of winning it which is what they desperately need at the moment.

PSG leads Ligue 1 and has the league. Nobody's capturing them. We all know the Champions League is their genuine prize and hunger for it. Why risk your finest players in important matches? If Mbappe gets injured playing for a lower-tier team, your Champions League run may be over. Bad business.

They should do what they did against Lyon. Keep the stars fresh by rotating the team. PSG has a big bench and can beat smaller clubs without their stars. This goes beyond injuries to peak performance. When it counts in the Champions League, you want those men firing. It's sensible to rest Mbappe and others. It's winner behaviour.

It is quite suitable to implement a strategy like that at this time because PSG must remain stronger in the Champions League than in League 1. Because PSG must try to get its first Champions League trophy this season, even though it is not an easy way so PSG cannot need to spend more energy from star players when playing against small teams in League 1 for the rest of the season. And I think this is a more suitable strategy for PSG to use, especially since they can still win without having to involve their star players in League 1 at the moment.

[Salahmu]

No player is permanent at any club. Cristiano Ronaldo played for Real Madrid for a long time and he was definitely one of the best stars at that time but still Real Madrid could not keep him permanently. Similarly, Mbappé may leave PSG, but even if PSG does not get players like Mbappe, they may try to recruit good quality players to their club.

Of course that's just exactly how it works because no matter how good a player can be on a particular club their would come a time when he will leave the club for another but however the only thing most club normally do is that if the player is too important for them instead of allowing him to leave as his contract expires they will try as much as possible to try if they could extend his contract a bit so that they would have the time to cover up on that position so that when he eventually leaves it will no longer be a serious challenge for them.

However in terms of Mbappe I no longer feel for PSG because they have a good financial management that can easily replace Mbappe when leaves, however PSG seriously need to work on their team because they are only good on this French league but not so good on other league especially on the champions League because their qualifying to the semi finals is just by luck if not they would have been kicked out by Barcelona so their performance on that league proves that they are not really strong enough.

[piebeyb]

PSG indeed has a very strong ambition to win its first Champions League title, therefore perhaps PSG will make the best use of its time to beat its opponents in the semifinals, PSG only has 3 more matches to go through in the Champions League, even though it looks small, that's where the difficulty lies. will make the competition interesting and of course it will be very tense, I favor Real Madrid to win the title but actually I also don't mind if PSG is able to make a difference this season in the Champions League.

Everyone probably won't doubt PSG to win the Ligue 1 title because so far no one has broken their dominance, as in the Bundesliga, Munich's dominance was finally broken by Leverkusen this season, PSG will still win the title in Ligue 1 because they have a point difference. which seems difficult for other teams to catch, but apart from that, it seems that Enrique really has to be able to rotate his players so that no one gets injured when the important match takes place against Dortmund, at least he has to save his important players for that match.

Moreover, there is no threat of anything that will shift their position at the top of the standings, therefore it is very worrying that if PSG's important players are played too much in matches that are not very important, such as against Laurent yesterday, the bottom team, Enrique should play second tier players in order to maintain their performance and their important players to avoid injury and ultimately harm PSG against Dortmund, clearly this is an opportunity for PSG to qualify for the UCL final and win it because their road to the final is getting closer.

[Palakka]

It is quite suitable to implement a strategy like that at this time because PSG must remain stronger in the Champions League than in League 1. Because PSG must try to get its first Champions League trophy this season, even though it is not an easy way so PSG cannot need to spend more energy from star players when playing against small teams in League 1 for the rest of the season. And I think this is a more suitable strategy for PSG to use, especially since they can still win without having to involve their star players in League 1 at the moment.

I'm actually quite surprised that Enrique still took the risk of playing Mbappe and Dembele in the match against Lorient yesterday, because PSG current reserve squad should be capable enough to beat Lorient in that the match which has a pretty bad performance in the league, playing PSG's main players in this match of course carries the risk of causing PSG's main players to get injured so that in the end it will only weaken them when they play in the Champions League later, for now I think it's time for Enrique to look after their main players especially since PSG will face Dortmund who are relatively capable of providing surprise in the semifinals later.

PSG only needs one more win to celebrate the Ligue 1 championship, against Le Havre next week of course will be an opportunity for PSG to ensure the Ligue 1 trophy is theirs and if we look at Le Havre performance which is no different from Lorient of course 3 points will be easy they will get it later, Le Havre is currently in the relegation zone and none of Le Harve' last 5 matches have ended with a win, so maybe PSG reserve squad will be enough to beat Le Havre in the next match.

[fullhdpixel]

Did anyone really believe that Lorient had a chance? There is great tension in the teams before the match against Paris SG because there is a big difference between the teams in the French league. Paris SG is a good team and they have serious economic power. They manage to recruit good players and add them to the team every year, but other teams cannot do this. France has an advantage similar to the one Bayern Munich has in Germany. This is why the excitement of the matches is lost, but there have been some other teams that have become champions despite this recently. For example, Lille. That's why the excitement continues to happen sometimes.

PSG already thrash the Lorient with the score of 1–4 as from the start we watch good control of PSG in this game, and they never allow Lorient to have anything from this in second half they improve their performance but still things were not under control for them, we have two goals each from Dembélé and Mbappé now with this win they are having title into their pocket Monaco is having second spot with 58 points.

With this defeat now Lorient chances are looking not good to survive in this season Metz improved performance are increasing their chances for survive but still as we have four matches remaining things can take turn but most chances we will have all three teams which are at the bottom will be having no fair chance to survive.

[macson]

PSG successfully beat Lorient with a score of 4-1, Mbappe scored 2 goals and Dembele scored 2 goals too, Mbappe is still the top scorer in Ligue 1 with 26 goals and David is in 2nd place with 1 goal.

Even if Mbappe is in PSG, PSG's chances of winning the Champions League are very high, but it cannot be said. Only Mbappe we have seen before the best star in the world played for PSG but still they could not fulfill their dreams of winning the Champions League title. With all the rumors about Mbappe leaving the club, it can be said that Mbappe could join Real Madrid in the next transfer window. If Mbappe joins Real Madrid as soon as the next transfer window opens, then Mbappe will have the opportunity to play in the next round of the Champions League for Real Madrid, and if Mbappe has the opportunity to play in the Champions League for Real Madrid, his dream of winning the Champions League title will be fulfilled. 

No player is permanent at any club. Cristiano Ronaldo played for Real Madrid for a long time and he was definitely one of the best stars at that time but still Real Madrid could not keep him permanently. Similarly, Mbappé may leave PSG, but even if PSG does not get players like Mbappe, they may try to recruit good quality players to their club.

Mbappe is a great striker that PSG has and has been there for quite a long time, even though Mbappe has been at PSG for a long time but they still haven't been able to get the UCL trophy that many football players dream of, Mbappe moving to Madrid will be the hottest news that will ever happen graced the world of world football.

I don't think risk after Luis Henrique playing Mbappe and Dembele on last match against Lorient because both of them seems will put on the bench next match against Le Havre. Henrique has target Mbappe and Dembele will perform well on champion league match against Dortmund few days later after domestic league match, its important with match against Lorient because make PSG need three points later to be the winner.
Success getting three points against Lorient with Mbappe and Dembele not injury make Luis Henrique more happy for Champion League match against Dortmund, seems Henrique will not make speculation yet for next match by playing both of them on the first minutes.

[FanEagle]

Currently there is no burden for PSG to play in the league, so Enrique should indeed start to guard and avoid his main players from injury now, the victory against Lorient yesterday further solidified PSG's position at the top of the table and actually PSG could celebrate their championship this season if Monaco lost other match against Lille, but unfortunately Monaco's victory forced PSG to celebrate their title next week when facing le Havre on the condition that PSG must win and although the difference in points with Monaco remain 11 points, but Monaco can no longer catch up with the points with only 3 games left.

At the moment Enrique should focus more attention on the Champions League and Mbappe, Dembele, Donnarumma and also Vitinha should be avoided by Enrique to play in Ligue 1 if indeed they want to win the Champions League this season, the players I mentioned are PSG's main players and honestly they have a big influence so far in every PSG game,  so if they suffer an injury then it will certainly only harm PSG and of course make PSG will find it difficult in the Champions League later.

I do agree that we are not going to get anything from PSG at the league level, they are resting some of their players as well, so I agree that they are not going to end up with anything major, we are going to see them do as well as they could hope for. I think the most important factor here is that they are going to try and be better.

I think if they could avoid taking hits at the league, then they are going to end up with a much better result. We should see them consider fatigue as an issue and they are on the verge of getting the one thing they desire the most, which is a champions league title. If they could focus just on that, and ignore the league, they will get the league anyway, and UCL could be a possibility as well.

[Leviathan.007]

I know Real Madrid have a convincing record every time they get to the final, but PSG cannot be underestimated if they get to the final. There is a burning passion from the PSG squad to win its first Champions League title, so I don't think PSG's chances of winning the title are close to 0.

PSG qualified for the semifinals because they were lucky when they faced Barcelona in the second leg without me explaining, everyone already knows what happened in that match, if it wasn't for the luck factor PSG might not have been able to qualify for the semifinals, just look at their home match against Barcelona. , PSG played badly even though they have a pretty good attack line but PSG still had difficulty breaking through Barcelona's defense so PSG was quite lucky in the second leg because Barcelona experienced weakness at the back which was caused by their defender getting a red card so even though PSG's chances were not completely 0 to win the title The Champions League does not rule out the possibility that Real Madrid will remain the favorite club for most people to win the Champions League title.

PSG indeed has a very strong ambition to win its first Champions League title, therefore perhaps PSG will make the best use of its time to beat its opponents in the semifinals, PSG only has 3 more matches to go through in the Champions League, even though it looks small, that's where the difficulty lies. will make the competition interesting and of course it will be very tense, I favor Real Madrid to win the title but actually I also don't mind if PSG is able to make a difference this season in the Champions League.

It seems PSG is very dependent on some players and that's not good for this team. They won the match against Lorient and this made them win another three points in this season but in this game, Mbappe was very effective for his team, and other than Mbappe Bembele was having a good performance. Now this can be sad and make the fans worried about their team because if Mbappe leaves PSG, they will not have a player at this level to have this good performance for their teams and this can even make PSG to have the worst performance in the next season when Mbappe leaves the team.

[Rengga Jati]

Mbappe is a great striker that PSG has and has been there for quite a long time, even though Mbappe has been at PSG for a long time but they still haven't been able to get the UCL trophy that many football players dream of, Mbappe moving to Madrid will be the hottest news that will ever happen graced the world of world football.

One of Mbappe's biggest dreams at PSG is to give PSG the UCL trophy, yes, to win the UCL. But so far, it has never been pocketed once. even when there were still 2 other star football players at PSG, Messi and Neymar. Even PSG still can't win the UCL. This is what is special about matches in the UCL. There will be no guarantee that even with lots of football starts, it won't make them that perfect.

And now, Mbappe is trying and trying to approach him. Yes, very closed. They must really play against Dortmund so that Mbappe has the chance. At least, get into the UCL final first. So that will be very good progress. Even though the ending remains the same.

Yes, it remains to be seen whether Mbappe will actually move to Real Madrid or not. If so, his chances of realizing his dream of winning UCL will definitely be much greater.

You need hungry players who want to win the trophy at all cost. Messi won it several times and I am not saying he didn't want it another time. Messi was addicted to being successful, but it is a difference when a player is in his prime or has other priorities. Messi was focused on winning the World Cup, that was the one thing that was on his mind day and night. Neymar played way too erratically. It was one step forward and two steps backward all the time. Then he was injured again. Then he was missing for whatever reason. This is definitely the last chance for PSG to win the Champions League with Mbappe. He'll be gone in summer. They have good chances to reach the final though, which would be the second final so far.

Of course they want to start a new journey next season and this season I don't expect Lorient to experience a continuous drastic decline.

The work or the job Kylian does in this PSG team can’t be overlooked as he keeps banging in the goals for the team and he doesn’t seem tired anytime soon. Well it’s a  pity the club will be losing a player like him and you then begin to wonder how the club’s attack line will now be shaped without Kylian in it. ⁠Enrique is a real tactical genius and when many expected him to rest his players against Lorient he rather brings them in to help them build more chemistry before the UCL match against Dortmund.

 This has also helped him get a step very close to being crowned champions as I think they’re just one win away from being crowned Champions. This is a step in the right direction by Enrique and I’m very confident that with his tactics, he can be able to take PSG very far in the league and the UCL as well. For Lorient this defeat is a big one as they still remain lurking around in the relegation zone.
 
 Well this means more work for them in the remaining matches as they must fight to at least be able to get 3 wins in the remaining matchs if they want to get out of the relegation zone. Well let’s see how things go for them as I think they will still want to remain in the Ligue 1 next season and it’s not too late for them to put up a fight.

Similarly, Mbappé may leave PSG, but even if PSG does not get players like Mbappe, they may try to recruit good quality players to their club.

We have players that have lifted major trophies and outstanding game records. Win is a good target for clubs but watching the mainly individual process, it surpassed others. For instance, Cristiano Ronaldo, he's the best player and always have contributes to Real Madrid progress all these years. That doesn't stop him for making his moves to other exploring leagues, he played for Juventus, Manchester United and now Bayern Munich. A promising player acquired the desirable skills and at the end of the day, everyone become thankful for the game.

Actually there's a possible chance for them to hope or dare to win the trophy this season a d that will be a very great achievement for mabappe because this seem to be one of his biggest dream in PSG too I'm as much as he wanting to go elsewhere to win the trophy too but then if he gets it here in PSG , for the first time, it's actually going to be of a very good record that he was able to achieve such heights in PSG .

PSG have not been able to win a single champions league trophy and this has been one of the dream of mabappe to lift wh champions league trophy an di think it's one of the reasons he's moving to Madrid aswell and he's most definitely going to be able to get to win the trophy there because he's going to have a better teams support and a better environment that will enhance his chances of been able to win the trophy probably by the end of the season. Mbaope has appeared like the money isn't the reason he's actually leaving PSG because if it were to be i doubt if he will be having a reason to leave as PSG is willing to increase his pay and probably make him comfortable at PSG because he's a very vital Play to them.

PSG getting to the finals of the champions league this season for Mae still isn't a guarantee they will be able to win the trophy because most likely they will be meeting Madrid and they are most definitely not going to be able to defeat Madrid so most likely they .ay actual end up loosing the game that's if they actually get to be able to win Dortmund and be able to get to the next stage of the champions league.

Similarly, Mbappé may leave PSG, but even if PSG does not get players like Mbappe, they may try to recruit good quality players to their club.

Cristiano Ronaldo gave his best as a Real Madrid player which made him win a lot of trophies at the club but after 9 seasons, he decided to leave and join another big European club. Just like Cristiano Ronaldo did when he was , Kylian Mbappe thinks that his time at Paris Saint Germaine is over and that's why he's refused to renew hks contract with the club. The France national team captain will leave Paris Saint Germaine at the end of the season with Real Madrid reported as his next possible destination. As a Real Madrid fan, having Kylian Mbappe become a Real Madrid player will be one of the most happiest moments during the summer transfer window.
Paris Saint Germaine will definitely find it difficult to get a player that'll replace Kylian Mbappe because of how good of player he is but they just have to start planning of how they'll play next season without the French man

[bering]

Montpellier vs Nantes

Both teams last week has got opposite results because Montpellier can able to win from Reims but Nantes have to lost with big scores from Rennes and if we see based on the recent performance too i can see Montpellier records is more good than Nantes because in the last 4 matches in Ligue 1 Montpellier is still unbeated and from those matches Montpellier can gets 3 wins and as a host i am sure Montpellier had ambition want to resumes their positive records today and improved their position on League Table

I have checked the squad conditions from both teams and for Montpellier they will lost at least 3 players because of injured but i think it won't have any affect to Montpellier performance later because those players who absense is not their key players but other players such as Teji Savanier, Akor Adams and Arnaud Nordin will be ready to played and for Nantes Douglas Augusto will be doubtful to play and Moses Simon still hard struggling to recover from his injured but their main striker Mostafa Mohamed will be played since the beginning of match and considering Montpellier recent performance which very impressive i think potentially they can be the winner of this match and Montpeiller win has odds @1.99

Paris Saint Germaine will definitely find it difficult to get a player that'll replace Kylian Mbappe because of how good of player he is but they just have to start planning of how they'll play next season without the French man

no, PSG will not have difficulty finding a replacement for Mbappe because currently PSG is one of the teams with enormous wealth, capable of bringing in top players at any time as long as the player accepts PSG offer, the management will certainly be able to spend large amounts of money to bring in Mbappe replacement.
at the moment we don't know what surprise PSG will give to the fans, but PSG has certainly planned who Mbappe replacement will be and previously there were rumors that PSG would fight for Osimhen and continue to make offers to the Serie A star player.
and if Osimhen can really give a surprise by coming and joining PSG, I'm sure Osimhen will become a scoring player like Mbappe because Osimhen has been with strong teams in series A too many times and the competition in league 1 is not as strong as series A.
