French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Patrol69]

I'm really curious about next season squad of PSG as even Mbappe is going to leave. It is time for them to learn how to play effectively as a team. They can't always rely on a single player like Mbappe.

They should of course find a solid replacement for Mbappe. I assume they have started working on it already. There are quite talented young players in the squad actually but we couldn't see a very impressive performance from them so far. I have bigger expectations from players such as Kolo Muani, Gonçalo Ramos and so on. I should exclude Vitinha from them though. Because I'm really impressed with him. He is one of the best contributors in the squad now. 

Mbappe as been played well for psg and given psg a very good game and infact psg also improved because of Mbappe and if eventually he leaves there is no way that they won't feel his impact. The speed the attack the person that will be taking Mbappe's place has to be good. Also have speed. They might not rely on only Mbappe but they will still miss him and playing with him they will actually feel it.

Sure they will start looking for Mbappes replacement so that they will start breeding the player if he would be able to even play better than Mbappe. So that his absence won't affect there performance that much. And I hope is going to Madrid his legit then his talent will be well utilized there and there might be a good chance of winning the Champions League. Kolo Muani, Gonçalo Ramos are excellent players but also need to work on there selfes the more.

When Mbappé first played for France in the World Cup, he was voted the best emerging star at that World Cup tournament. Basically from there his development started and till now he is one of the best players in the world. Very few players can finish as precisely as Mbappe can. PSG was able to retain the French striker for several seasons only due to money but they are unable to retain the star in exchange for money next season. Mbappe will join Real Madrid's camp at the end of this season, meaning he has already signed a contract with Real Madrid. If Mbappe leaves PSG, of course, PSG will need a replacement with a suitable player, but at the moment, there is no word from the club about whether a star like PSG can replace Mbappe in their club.

PSG still seemed determined to win and they did that when they visited Nice's headquarters by securing an additional 3 points from that match. Even though they are playing without Mbappe, this is not a problem for PSG and they have to start getting used to this so they don't become dependent on the French star.

it's time for Enrique to waste time after being busy in the UCL match and now Enrique has to continue adding points from each match because it endangers PSG position because Monaco will continue to add points in the remaining matches even though PSG has been guaranteed the League 1 title but if they continue to appear inconsistent it will make lost too many points.
yesterday's match was quite interesting but for me now the competition in league 1 is a little less interesting because in the end it is only PSG who will still get the title and this is also one of Enrique strategies to try not to depend on one of the star players at PSG.

Even though they are playing without Mbappe, this is not a problem for PSG and they have to start getting used to this so they don't become dependent on the French star.

Apart from that, Nice, which I initially favored to win, failed to add to their points collection, but at least their position to play in the European league is locked considering that Lens only has one game left so Nice's points will not be overtaken.

Against Nice in yesterday match was certainly one of the experiments for Luis Enrique by fielding their reserve squad, for now I think Luis Enrique is no longer targeting victory in each of their remaining games because there is no longer a target to get points, so that is what makes Enrique field their reserve squad in that match,  If PSG still need points then it would be impossible for Enrique to field their reserve squad against Nice and that can be seen from PSG previous matches which are even very rare PSG to field second-tier players even though they faced weak teams before they won the championship trophy this season.

About winning the game, of course, it seems that it is beyond what Enrique expected, because indeed every reserve player will of course try to show their best performance when the coach gives the opportunity to play, because then it will make their chances  to return play in the next match will be open, now Nice dream of playing in the Champions League has disappeared after an inconsistent season journey,  But at least they are still lucky enough to get a place in the Europa League next season.

Any results will not affect Paris Saint Germain's position, because they have already confirmed being champions this season, so in my opinion they should start looking at the future, or they should prepare themselves for next season. Now they will be left behind by several players, including their mainstay, Kylian Mbappe, who is certain to leave Paris Saint Germain next season.
They have to look for new players who can fill the existing void, or they can regenerate so they can build a solid foundation for their future. Now the choice is in their hands, whether they will recruit star players again or they will regenerate like many teams are doing now. Paris Saint Germain has very good financials, so that will really help them. However, what I regret is that they have not been able to take advantage of what they have now to achieve an even more prestigious achievement.

Yes, we will see changes to the PSG squad next season and we will also no longer see Mbappe in PSG matches. I am also quite curious whether PSG will still perform well in League 1 when Mbappe is no longer in the squad because PSG has always relied on Mbappe on the front lines. and the victory that PSG has achieved so far is because of Mbappe's big contribution to the team. Without this player, who knows what would happen to PSG, but it would be more interesting if in the end PSG had difficulty competing in League 1 because their squad is on par with other clubs and PSG had difficulty achieving next season's domestic title and other clubs will break the dominance of PSG, which has controlled the League 1 title for years.

After having a lot of conversations here, I understand why many people doubt that PSG will have difficulties if they lose a star player like Kylian Mbappe and all of this is because several times since Luis Enrique has tried to introduce other players without Mbappe the results have been very erratic and look inconsistent.
From here, many people doubt PSG next season and PSG should bring in a replacement player to fill Mbappe's vacancy with a player who has almost the same skills as Mbappe even though his skills are not the same, at least they can strengthen PSG's attack line.

[Leviathan.007]

At the moment Nice only have a chance to play in the Europa League next season, but after all their failures this season of course playing in Europe will be a great achievement for them, even if Nice can reach the Champions League play-offs, of course I am not sure they can get through it with the performance they are now, this season Nice can end the season ranked 5th and certainly that's not a bad thing with the inconsistency they have had so far in Ligue 1.

Losing against PSG last match make Nice over their opportunity for playing in Champion League and remaining four points from Brest its can't catch up yet behind four points left with one match remaining. Nice just participants in Europe League next season and Ligue 1 has another debut team will participants in Champion League next season will get the same such as Lens performance in this season?

Actually Ligue 1 not get extra quota for champion league participants, the fourth teams Brest will get champion league spot by qualifier round and Nice have been over after remaining four points with one match left. I think Nice fail get winning against PSG and make their opportunity close indeed Brest have loss at last match but can't help more for Nice reach to fourth position although get winning on the last match.

There is a good point about this match. PSG was playing against Nice without their superstar player, Mbappe and not having Mbappe could affect PSG and this team could have a bad performance, especially in the attacking since they were playing without Mbappe.
But the young French player of PSG, Yoram Zague had a perfect performance and he scored the second goal to help this team win the game with a 2-1 result.
Yoram Zague is an 18-year-old player and he is a good talent in PSG.

Ligue 1 only has one match left and so, basically, even though if for example PSG and Monaco lost in the last match, but PSG and Monaco have already locked positions one and two. But even so,  at least competition is still going on for third place because Lille and Brest have the same points because, even though they are in the top four, but about fourthplace has to go through the playoffround to qualify for the Champions League. Therefore, Lille and Brest will put in all their best efforts in the last match later but unfortunately,Lille will have a more difficult opponent than Brest. Because after all, Lille has to play against Nice in their last match,while Brest will play against Toulouse.

Before now, I have compared the position of PSG a d looked at the point gap away from their most closet rival at the second position then I have aswell related it to the number of games remaining before the end of the season a s I mentioned that there are chances that PSG could be endangered if they don't get to buckle up and make sure to broadened the point gap as it's not looking like such that can't be closed if put into consideration.

Now it's gradually looking like it may play out but then there's still a way out. Before now we could excuse PSG in the fact that they were really busy with the champions league and some how it could serve as a distraction to them but then now we have come to terms in the fact that they have just the Ligue 1 trophy to face so all their efforts should be focused in that direction and achieving this trophy for the season after all it's been a regular trophy for them as they have won it more often than any team in the Ligue 1 has ever done over the years.

Usually the Ligue 1 has been one of the boring leagues in Europe in the fact that its one of the most predicted leagues as it's always known that most times PSG eventually gets to win the league title so most persons don't get to find it interesting enough to give attention to something they already know the end from the beginning except probably by next season there will be a change and I doubt if that strategy of Enrique will actually be really effective for PSG.

From now on PSG have to count on themselves and try finding a player that could replace Kylian Mbappe so they can keep dominating Ligue 1. For Champions League, they have to build a better squad.. they will regret not winning it this year after all what happened.
Zague is still young and he has to adapt with the team. Dembele in the other hand has to pop up quickly and recover since his mission become heavier in PSG.

Without Mbappe, PSG have the ability to still dominate Ligue 1, their squad has already been better than other teams in the league. They also have Luis Enrique, a very good coach, to keep the team remain strong and competitive. They only need to make few signings to adjust the team's fluidity without Mbappe, because they won't find anyone who can replace the Mbappe's quality.

Champions League will still be their main target, but they need to strengthen the squad with a more cohesive team. Developing young players should also be their plan, they need to have a strong foundation for the future. Money won't always solve every problem at football, because this sport requires talent and spirit to keep playing at the highest level.

Therefore, Lille and Brest will put in all their best efforts in the last match later but unfortunately,Lille will have a more difficult opponent than Brest. Because after all, Lille has to play against Nice in their last match,while Brest will play against Toulouse.

That will be the most decisive match for Lille and Brest regarding their fate next season. It's true, Lille journey feels more difficult than Brest in terms of the opponents they face, however Toulouse could still be a troublesome team for Brest. I think that among all the matches that will be played in the closing week, the two matches involving Lille and Brest are quite interesting to follow, considering that it is a competition for tickets to the Champions League. However, personally I predict that Lille and Brest will both be able to secure full points, so their ranking will be determined by the difference in goal productivity and number of goals conceded.

Meanwhile, Nice, who had stayed in second place for a long time in the standings, is now must willing to finish outside the Champions League zone, but they are still lucky to finish in the Europa League zone, and Nice overall performance this season is better than last season. Monaco can also be said to be lucky enough to be able to compete again in the Champions League next season, and their performance is also better than last season.

Yes, whatever the result of the match, it will not affect the position of PSG and Monaco, because the distance between their points and the others is quite far. PSG's dominance in the French League still cannot be overtaken.

Brest at least has a bigger chance of winning this time because their opponent is Toulouise, which incidentally is not as strong as Nice, LOSC's opponent. So if you want to win, Lile has to try with much harder effort. This really determines them and they will definitely make such an optimal effort.

In fact, they should have done that from the start, but Naser Al Khelaifi was too confident in continuing to entrust Mbappe in the hope that he would continue to be at PSG with the influx of facilities he was given.
In fact, releasing it now for free is clearly a loss that should be minimized. But indeed this is also quite good for learning so that in the end in the next season when there is a player who has the type and performance like Mbappe, PSG will not make the same mistakes.

Currently several players are starting to be linked with PSG as a replacement for Mbappe but there is still no one who is truly believed to be the successor to PSG's backbone.
I think Osimhen is still a pretty good candidate, but if you really want to look for a player who is a runner and relies on dribbling then the rumors about Rashford are actually not too excessive in my opinion.

There is only 1 match remaining in League 1 and PSG has secured a lot of points and the point difference between PSG and Monaco is quite large, so even though PSG lost points in yesterday's match, it is not a problem because the point difference with Monaco is still large and PSG has also secured 1st league title this season so there is no need to worry that Monaco will catch up with PSG because no matter how much Monaco is chasing PSG, they will not be able to overtake them this season, but maybe because of prestige, PSG will continue to show maximum performance until the end and do not want to lose, the proof is that even though they have won the title, they will still don't want to lose against other clubs in league 1 even though playing without Mbappe will get PSG used to next season where Mbappe is no longer in their squad.

It's true that matches in League 1 are no longer interesting because we already know the champions, but for relegated clubs and mid-table clubs and club fighting for second place, it's no less interesting we can bet our money on these clubs, of course by first analyzing which ones are good for us. We bet before the season ends. It's a good idea for us to take advantage of profit opportunities through sports matches. If the season ends, we can no longer bet and have to wait for the new season to start.

Losing points is not a big deal for PSG because you can see how last season PSG, who managed to secure the Liga title in Week 37, lost in the last match, so this might happen and Metz, who is their last opponent, will get an advantage by successfully beating PSG, but unfortunately for Metz, if Le Havre loses so their points are the same but Metz still has to go through the relegation playoff match because they will still lose in terms of goal difference to Le Havre, as well as for Lorient who have a chance to beat Clermont so the points will be the same as Metz but the goal difference is the determining factor so it is certain that Lorient and Clermont will be relegated while Metz will have to go through the relegation playoff and this will probably save them from being able to continue playing in Ligue 1 next season.
PSG no longer has any motivation at the end of the season in Ligue 1 other than finishing this last match and after taking a break to prepare for the French Cup match.

PSG only needs to consider every team they play against in Ligue1 as a team with a lot of strength so that the PSG players can play with more enthusiasm and seriousness even though basically almost all the teams in Ligue1 still cannot surpass the strength possessed by PSG. But by thinking like that, it will at least make PSG feel pressure to continue to play better and won't lose easily when facing other clubs who are so extraordinary in the UCL competition. Because what PSG is targeting has not yet been achieved this season because PSG had to lose to the German team.

PSG is still having difficulty winning the UCL even after the club owner spent a lot of money. I think winning the UCL is the biggest challenge and money can't give you the UCL. PSG must look for chemistry between players, officials, club management and coaches to form a solid squad, and not just how many star players you have.

We have discussed this many times and no matter how much money PSG spends, it will still be useless in winning the UCL title. We know that this is not an ordinary competition like Ligue One and even if PSG is studded with star players, this will not guarantee them winning it.

We have been seeing how big the hype when messi and neymar have been announced by PSG to play there. I was also expecting PSG to win all of competitions with the help from messi and neymar but the reality totally different compared with what i have expected. PSG still played like a mediocre team.
It was only having final as the best achievements with those star players. Even there was a GOAT there and PSG keeps failed. it shows that winning UCL was not an easy task to be done but real madrid was the only club that can do that for 15 times. It's amazing record for sure by real madrid.

The problem here is that PSG must really reorganize everything and not rely on existing star players and it would be better if they could start from academy players or hire an experienced coach and the selection of Luis Enrique is very suitable for this job. It's just that one season is still too short and PSG must give Luis Enrique more time to organize his young players.

It must be starting from the management, scouting team and the team itself. PSG has recruited the right coach but i think that the composition of players didn't meet his standard. Many of them have been recruited during galtier's era.

This is why enrique needs to rebuild the team slowly. Missing mbappe is not a good thing considering the fact he has been the top scorer. It will be so damn difficult for PSG to find someone who can play as good as him.

Now the choice is in their hands, whether they will recruit star players again or they will regenerate like many teams are doing now. Paris Saint Germain has very good financials, so that will really help them. However, what I regret is that they have not been able to take advantage of what they have now to achieve an even more prestigious achievement.

well, that's why it's time for Enrique to prove to the owners of PSG to show that PSG can be strong without Mbappe, even though they will only appear without star players in the following season, but still the League 1 title can always be dominated by PSG.
there is no doubt about PSG finances because they have large finances, but the problem is that the PSG owner's ambition is always to get star players without thinking about the long term.
I mean, if PSG wants to create a very strong future, PSG should prefer to bring in young players to build new talent and maintain it in the long term, but on the one hand I understand why PSG always wants to bring in star players because they want to get the UCL title instantly by recruiting star players but this is the wrong way.

I'm sure that as long as Enrique is retained, PSG will definitely have some positive changes and I know that Enrique will be wiser in recruiting new players to be able to compete in big competitions like the UCL.

That's right, if Luis Enrique doesn't do that then he won't have any additional strategy ahead of next season's matches. This is very necessary, especially for a team as big as PSG, which always dominates Ligue One every season and indeed its second tier players must also be given playing minutes so they can be more symmetrical with the other players.

PSG have forgotten about the champions league this season which they can't get back and of course they are not giving up one bit in bringing the trophy home someday. That dream is still firmly entrenched and PSG will not give up with countless failures. They believe they will win the title and with the squad they continue to build.

Hopefully one day PSG can taste that sweet trophy in the UCL because so far they have continued to fail in their struggle in the UCL, including this season. I also quite agree with what you said that the second tier players should be given more playing minutes so that they can be more accustomed and balanced when playing several important matches. And this will also allow the second tier players to be more in sync with the main players on the PSG team itself apart from the new players that will be brought in by the PSG team next season.
