French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

It's very obvious that PSG are once again going to dominate the french ligue1 as usual, they kicked off their campaign for the season with an excellent win sending a clear message to all their counterparts in the league. Coach Luis Enrique has numerous high profile of players at his disposal at PSG this season and will look forward to taking advantage of all that to see that his team wins the title and perhaps break the deadlock in the champions League, however the expectations are high in the city of paris and just maybe they could get it right this season, though it's looking like they are already getting over with departure of kylian Mbappé.

Dominating Ligue 1 is not a difficult task for PSG. The strongest squad in Ligue 1 is PSG. Also, PSG is the richest club in Ligue 1. PSG's squad this season is a bit weaker compared to previous seasons. However, PSG's squad still has plenty of talented players. More importantly, PSG have an experienced coach. With the help of Luis Enrique, the PSG team is slowly getting stronger.

PSG are expected to battle it out for the title this season with possibly Lille, Marseille and Monaco. So I am looking forward to watching the PSG vs Lille match. If PSG can dominate and win against Lille, then I'd say Ligue 1 PSG will dominate this season. PSG will play against Montpellier in the next match. PSG will easily get 3 points in this match as well.

I think Olympic Marseille will be the team that will challenge PSG for the league 1 title this season. They have a young coach who knows what he is doing. And he has managed to assemble a good squad that's is going to push for the league title. With Mbappe gone PSG does has a little weakness in their squad and that's not a fact that can be hidden. Judging by the performance of Marseille in their first match of the season I think they are the only club that can provide real competition for PSG. PSG main fear factor has left the club and with his absence, PSG won't be much of a threat that they used to be. They got a good scoreline last weekend and so did Marseille. PSG should not think that they will be getting the league title cheaply this season as they usually does in previous seasons. There is a breath of new era in league 1.

With the departure of Kylian Mbappe from the Parc des Princes stadium, I thought it would affects Les Parisiens performance but it turns out to be reversed. Luis Enrique taking proper stands with PSG as they're excellently having good records on opening Ligue One matchday. Paris Saint-Germain have no competitor that would stop them this season because they're ready to take on any opposition with good amount of positive energy.

In Ligue 1 this season, PSG can still dominate which can even last throughout this season even though there is no more Kylian Mbappe in their squad, but the problem at this time is not in Ligue 1, but rather in other competitions such as the Champions League where with the new format for this season has forced each team to be able to have better mainstay players in order to win more matches there. So Luis Enrique still has to think about making each of their players develop and also trying to get other players before the transfer window closes.

In the first week of Ligue 1 PSG won big win and for the second week they will meet Montpellier and play at home, this is good opportunity for PSG to maintain their victory at the beginning of the season and get as many points as possible.
Montpellier is not strong team and they are certainly an easy opponent for PSG to beat, PSG superiority is really visible and they are also the favorites for this match.
I took several options to choose PSG, I have confidence that PSG will be able to take advantage of all their advantages since the first half started.

I think that the new format of the Champions League is just in the hands of strong teams, because if PSG could lose points in one of the matches with a weaker opponent, then the more matches are played, the more chances strong teams will have to show their superiority.

In the match against Le Havre, PSG did not have any big problems, they were ultimately able to show a good game in attack, I see that Enrique was in no hurry to buy another forward, instead he decided to involve in the game those players, that he already has in the team, even gave a chance to younger players, and maybe instead of buying an expensive forward, Enrique will try to find him from those players, that he already has at his disposal.

Psg is still very strong in Ligue 1 because in their first match of the season they visited the Oceane stadium but they still managed to get 3 points where the match ended with a score of 1-4. With the depth of the squad filled with quality players, of course we can judge that Luis Enrique's squad will again succeed in achieving maximum results in every match because their game is still quite impressive even though they no longer have Mbappe in their team.

The Ligue1 competition will still be dominated by PSG even without players like Mbappe because in Ligue1 there is no heavier pressure from rival teams so that PSG is still the leading team this season. And from one example of a match that has been played by PSG, it is also clear that PSG still has more strength in Ligue1, but I don't know how strong PSG is when playing in the UCL this season because the competition really relies on player cooperation besides having to be filled with quality players in a team.

I have no doubt that, even though they no longer have Mbappe, the composition of the players they have is still the best in Ligue 1, it depends on how the coach can utilize what he has in the squad. The results of this match prove that they will still be very difficult to stop in Ligue 1. This is the first season where they no longer have a star player like Mbappe, but the overall quality of the team is still good. Luis Enrique is an experienced coach, so I don't think it will be difficult for him to make Paris Saint Germain dominate. But this is if we talk about them in Ligue 1, it will be a different story when we talk about them in the Champions League, but let's see what they can do in the Champions League later.

Even without Mbappé, they can win their local league title with the players they have in their club now. There is no strong team in the local league that can challenge PSG and beat PSG to win the title. PSG has been single-handedly dominating Ligue 1 for several seasons. 

Mbappe is not at the club but players like Ousmane Dembélé Hakimi are at the club who can surely play a great role in helping the club win the France League title. Mbappe was there for a long time, so PSG fans dreamed of the Champions League, but now Mbappe is gone and no other player has been appointed to replace him, so PSG fans may not expect much from the Champions League next season. Most of the players in the team have been sold by PSG, so they should have revamped the team in the previous season, but they could not do so at the end of this season's transfer window.

The right choice and maybe even if there is a mistake, it is very unlikely. Actually, PSG has no doubts about winning easily, especially playing at home will guarantee the result. However, I want to see them play more aggressively from the start of the match and not be late in realizing the need for goals like what happened last week against Le Havre.

With the addition of full points, PSG will certainly be able to shift Marseille's top position, but with the note that they must win big against Montpellier if they want that to happen. The goal difference is the difference for PSG to be able to shift Marsille and at least they must win by 3 goals more. So it seems that later I will be interested in the over 3.25 goal result with odds @1.70 because if I take a normal time bet, the odds are only @1.33 and that is very small.

Sure, they started Ligue 1 with a victory. And losing Mbappé is a serious loss. Of course, they are still loaded. Still, that attack is different without his speed and finishing.

Enrique's a top-notch manager, which is advantageous. Still, requiring late goals? That raises warning flags. They are still learning how to function without their superstar. Marseille, Rennes, they are rather acute. Sleeping on them is not advised. Ligue 1 is no more only PSG's playground

PSG's true test is High stakes games versus strong rivals. Enrique will be able to see if he can get this team clicking here. Can they change with tightening resources? Can they identify objectives without the magic of Mbappé?

Though it doesn't necessarily bring titles, money speaks. PSG needs to gel even if they have potential
