French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[klidex]

It is a big win for PSG to start this season and with good and deep player resource, Enrique and PSG will have good ability to dominate the domestic league again. They are able to do this but a biggest task for them in this summer will be Champions League, go far and win it will be a most ambitious and important task for them in this season.

PSG's big win is something to be proud of because they were able to score many goals even without Mbappe, meaning that PSG players are quite reliable at this time by the coach, this club actually has good players but when there is Mbappe all players depend on him but now without Mbappe then everyone plays with enthusiasm and gives their best performance for PSG and continues to be the strongest in League 1, but yes PSG's priority is not only League 1 they also really want the Champions League title but it is indeed very difficult for them to achieve because the competition is very tight.

But unfortunately this victory brought disaster for PSG because they had to lose their main player Goncalo Ramos due to an ankle injury so in the next match against Montpellier PSG could not play without him.

Indeed, they destroyed Le Havre 4-1, but don't get overly thrilled. Le Havre equalised, and PSG appeared wobbly for a short period. That is not a good indicator. Mbappe's absence is really evident. Their onslaught loses edge without his continual threat. They scored three more at last, although it was scrazy rather than overpowering

For the Champions League, this presents major questions. Le Havre turned up a flaw. Ramos is hurt; Mbappe's MIA; and now PSG seems weak. Ligue 1 could be a stroll, but Europe is another animal entirely. They are in peril if they cannot locate a consistent goal-scorer. Luis Enrique must solve this quickly; otherwise, PSG's aspirations for the Champions League would be dashed

PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1 even without Mbappe in their squad, PSG has absolutely no dependence on Mbappe in the domestic league because they are the strongest club there. Other players took turns scoring goals for their team's victory, a 4-1 victory when destroying Le Havre proved that PSG were still able to dominate the match.

PSG always struggles when competing in the Champions League, even though they are still strengthened by Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, they are unable to make PSG win the UCL trophy. Now that all three players have left the club, the concerns for PSG will grow and they will struggle even more to compete in the UCL.

At the beginning of this season I had speculation that there were several clubs that would try to compete and prevent PSG from winning the title again.

-Marseille
-Rennes
-Lille
-Lens
-Monaco

Of the 5 clubs, I am sure they will perform better than last season because looking at the first match, the 5 clubs have performed very well as if they are ready to face tough obstacles in League 1.

Upcoming match schedule.

PSG - Montpellier
Lyon - Monaco
Lille - Angers

In that match, PSG must get 3 more points if they want to win the title again because Montpellier is not a strong club.

Or if not, Lille will get 3 points by beating Angers.

PSG does not need to worry about themselves in the Ligue 1 competition because until this season no other team has been able to surpass their strength in Ligue 1. So the only thing PSG needs to worry about is themselves in the Champions League this season which generally really needs some reliable players to be able to win a lot there. But on the one hand I am also not so sure that PSG can do more surprises in the Champions League this season because as you said that while there were still many great stars at PSG, they were also unable to bring the team to win a trophy in the Champions League.

Yes, No other club can catch up with them in terms of financial resources, and player strength. This has led to PSG becoming the default name to be the number 1 name predicted to win Ligue 1 every season in the past decade. PSG's dominance has reached such heights that many football fans have even started referring to Ligue 1 as the “Farmers' League”. But with top names like Mbappe and Neymar having left the club, is this the time for a coup? Of course not. Marseille, Lens Lyon, Rennes, or Lille are still teams that are too difficult to expect because of their inherent economic limitations. No team has the potential to match PSG to become a real rival during this time.

As for the Champions League, I won't discuss it, PSG has no chance, I think their current squad is not good enough to dream about.

Mason Greenwood is truly a hidden gem and fortunately Marseille managed to get his contract from Manchester United. Through last night's match between Marseille and Brest he performed very well and scored two goals for Marseille's away win. In fact, we know that Marseille made a big shopping spree this summer and the result was that they managed to win with a very convincing score of 1-5 and this was a big win for Ligue 1 so far in the first week.

In fact, if we look at Brest, they are quite a strong team, especially their performance last season was amazing and they even managed to finish in 3rd place in the standings. But it seems that even with such a big achievement, Marseille is not discouraged and immediately shows their prowess under the guidance of new coach Roberto De Zerbi. I really look forward to another win from Marseille and hope to heat up the competition at the top for this season.

Olympique Marseille will always ensure they keep an eye on their key players especially the new signings from the transfer window this season. One of the them is Mason Greenwood, he's been really contributing and active on the pitch, portraying his stellar performance and giving true hints to his teammates. Mason Greenwood fits in so well on his debut and scored a brace. Mason Greenwood will explore more in his new club. The Englishman fall out of favour under Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United, not to worry because there's possible future with Marseille and Greenwood.

A great victory for Marseille with a great winning streak under their new coach De Zerbi, and the victory also proved again how fierce the former Man United player Greenwood is, he managed to score two goals in the opening match or the first round of the French league 1 and that will be an increase in his mentality in bringing Marseille back to explore the league and for him to create a good individual as Marseille's top scorer, this moment will certainly be used by De Zerbi to lift Greenwood's reputation which began to fade because of his mistakes in the past which made him very hated by English fans and not with Eric ten hag, because he was hated there he could not continue at Man United not because of the coach factor because from the beginning Ten Hag admired him and wanted to work with him but with that they had to run aground with the Greenwood problem. But now he seems to have rediscovered himself as a goal hungry player who can create chances with both feet this is a fantastic thing for him and I think if he succeeds with this scenario at Marseille I think he will return to a better team or a top team in Europe because basically he is a talented player so it is a shame that his good skills were mutated by his behavior and now I see him better in terms of attitude hopefully nothing happens to him that makes him have to be held back in the world of football hopefully he can win the French league 1 with Marseille.

Apart from PSG, there are several big teams, although not as big as PSG in Ligue 1 who won their first match, the teams you mentioned have had a good start to the season with a good win, but it seems like you are expecting too much from these teams which even I don't think they will have the ability to prevent PSG from winning the championship trophy this season, currently PSG may not be in good condition after they were left by Mbappe but I don't think this will change their chances of continuing to dominate Ligue 1 this season, Montpellier will face PSG in the second week, let's say PSG will lose the match against Montpellier and allow Lille, who beat Angers, to take over the top of the Ligue 1 standings, so how long is it possible for Lille to stay at the top of the Ligue 1 standings later?
If you remember the previous season, of course you can see that PSG never actually controlled the top of the Ligue 1 standings at the start of the season, but PSG actually took over the top of the standings when the season almost entered the middle and that's where they confirmed themselves as the rulers of Ligue 1 and left the  others teams with a large difference in points.

PSG has every reason to be worried, though they are the best club in the French League, notwithstanding, they are also facing some shift from their usual way. How many big names remain in the club at this point? This calls for concern. They are still not without their good squad, especially if we look at it from the angle of what they played on Friday against Le Havre. But we should equally acknowledge that Le Havre is a weak club so PSG's performance could be decisive until given more time. I've also noticed that the lack of strong contending teams in the French League is why PSG always shine, I wonder what they would play if the club were in the Premier League and others. This is why I do not see them winning the UCL any time soon and you are right to be concerned about that. If they couldn't win it when they have enough of key global stars in their arsenal I wonder what they can do when they've almost had them all gone. This current team will try their best but I am sure that the feat will reduce compared to when Mbappe and others were still there.

Yes it's true that in the ligue 1 it appears no other team surpasses PSG currently but it's not a room for redundancy els they may loose out two ways, by that I mean the champions league and the ligue 1. I don't want to totally believe that the presence of great stars at PSG at some point was enough to get them the champion's league title and their absence now would mean they may not have a chance at it anymore, just like Leverkusen did last season without any known star, it's possible if PSG continues to putting the much needed work, some day they will get to that point even without necessarily having a cluster of Stars in their squad.
