French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[slapper]

PSG has become unstoppable this season following the exit of Kylan Mbappe. Could it be that he was their obstacle? Tonight they are leading Montpellier five goals to zero in a match they dominated even in terms of play. It seems Mbappe have been hindering some of their key players from giving their best as all attention were on him. They won their last match with also a very wide margin which is an indication that they are back to business and not too affected by the departure of their key man, Mbappe.

We see how ineffective a game based on a single player is, how effective a system game is. PSG has adopted team play this season and the results are already impressive. They seem unstoppable in the French league, that's why I'm actually more curious about the Champions League. Montpellier couldn't do anything to stop PSG, they got yellow cards for all four of their players in the match. Mbappe leaving was a good thing for PSG.

Ditching the Mbappe-dependence was a gutsy move, but it's paying off. Now, we're seeing a multi-faceted attack, goals coming from everywhere. Five different scorers against Montpellier? That's a statement. Opponents can't just key in on one guy anymore. This PSG is unpredictable, and that's dangerous. They're not just outscoring teams; they're outsmarting them

This ain't just about Ligue 1 dominance. This is about the Champions League. You need tactical flexibility to win in Europe, and PSG's showing they've got it. They're evolving, adapting, and becoming a legitimate threat on the biggest stage. This PSG is hungry, and they're coming for everyone

It was really an amazing game. Last season we saw Mbappe-centric play from PSG. PSG relied heavily on Mbappe's performance and Mbappe's skills to score goals and get wins. But this season they rely on collective play. Maybe for the first time I see PSG as a solid team. 6 goals were scored by 5 different players. This shows the quality of PSG to play collectively. PSG have scored 9 goals in 2 games at the beginning of this season, it was not scored by one or two players. I can say that PSG this season is much better than previous seasons.

I also see it like that where PSG could be a much better team this season than last season when they still had Mbappe in their squad. The victory with a score of half a dozen could be a sign that PSG are now starting to focus more on the players they have and no longer rely on just one player like last season. And I can also see that PSG is still a strong team in Ligue 1 this season, but I hope PSG can also have better strength when competing in the Champions League this season.

PSG scored 10 goals in their first two matches in Ligue 1, it seems that Mbappe's absence has even benefited them, maybe it has opened up opportunities for other players. It seems that Enrique was right that he was in no hurry to find a quick and expensive replacement for Mbappe, he is building a very young team, from players who want to play and are ready to show their best game for a place on the field. They will definitely win Ligue 1, there is no doubt about it, as for the Champions League, everything will depend on their play-off performance because that is where the most difficult opponents will be.

You will never know the quality of the players you have in a team until you stop depending on one. PSG is a totally changed club that has a selfless attack. We saw Ousmane Dembélé giving out balls that Mbappe would have gone for goal with. Players like Bradley Barcola and K. Lee are not getting the needed attention because the focus is no longer on Mbappe. I am sensing that the players want to prove to the world that the perception that Mbappe was the brain behind PSG's success was overemphasized.

This ain't just about Ligue 1 dominance. This is about the Champions League. You need tactical flexibility to win in Europe, and PSG's showing they've got it. They're evolving, adapting, and becoming a legitimate threat on the biggest stage. This PSG is hungry, and they're coming for everyone

That's tried. The benchmark for managers and players of PSG is the winning of the UCL. Without winning it , the club will not be satisfied. But we the drive and effort I saw in the match with Montpellier, they would make some difference.

[rahmad2nd]

Joao Neves has contributed greatly to his team in two matches, in last night's match two goals in the first half were created through his assists. If he is able to maintain his consistency, this Portuguese player will play an important role. Likewise with Barcola, he played quite agilely and scored two goals against Montpellier. Uniquely, Enrique rotated Asensio back into the center forward position. He did not waste the opportunity given to him to contribute one goal for PSG. In terms of the game, PSG played very impressively and they won with a clean sheet. At first I doubted that Montpellier would score a goal. So, I didn't dare to choose Over 3.5 goals and above. However, Luis Enrique's team gave no mercy to the away team, they defeated Montpellier with a landslide score. Well, Paris Saint-Germain has played very well in two matches. However, it cannot be denied that their opponent is a team that is not strong. Next week we will find out how PSG will be when they visit Lille's headquarters, whether they are able to continue to perform with high performance intensity. this is interesting, at least even without Mbappe, PSG is still a strong team in the French League.

Likewise with Ousmane Dembele's game, although he did not register his name on the scoreboard, the 2 assists he made were proof that he played very well in last night's match. It crossed my mind that Mbappe's departure was a huge blessing because we know that PSG's game used to only focus on one player, when compared to last night's match they played impressively in every line showing perfection but again because their opponent was Montpellier which we know is a weak club, it could be easily won but in this case I don't believe in the 6 goals scored by PSG in my opinion it's crazy beyond expectations, if we talk about the 3rd week match I think with the current squad composition to face Lille it can be said that they will win by a narrow score because their opponent is not the same as Montpellier. we'll see next week

[Lidger]

In my opinion, the bet used by #HiroseUK is indeed safer but a little risky on the first goal option.
Actually, taking a bet like that with odds of only 1.6 does not match the risk taken because if a surprise occurs when PSG can score big in the second half and Montpellier scores early, the bet will definitely fail.

I agree more with you #Rendravolt choosing to bet on over 3.25 is more convincing because PSG can definitely score big at home because PSG's performance without Mbappe is still the same and with odds of 1.70 it is equivalent to the risk you take.
Maybe I will also bet on PSG's victory -1.5 with odds 1.79.

PSG was able to realize their advantage only at the end of the match, when they scored several goals in a few minutes. But you are right, it was the first match and it was an away match, and at home with Montpellier everything can be even easier. I don’t know, I don’t like to bet with such a handicap, it’s more comfortable for me when the handicap is no more than -1, when it remains safe for me if the team wins with the advantage of only one goal, which PSG will be enough to get 3 points. Although I do not exclude that they can get a convincing victory again and score a few goals.

PSG scored three goals in the last 6 minutes of the match against Le Havre. And in the match an excellent 4-1 victory, PSG played very well, the team had 76% of the ball possession in the match. And won by a big margin of 4-1. However, the opponent Le Havre was quite weak in comparison.

PSG will play against Montpellier in their next match. Firstly it is PSG's home match, secondly the Montpellier team is also quite weak. An interesting point is that PSG have won their last 5 matches against Montpellier. And in these 5 matches PSG players scored 21 goals. PSG won every match by a big margin. And right now PSG players are in very good form. The players are now more confident after the win in the first match. So I guess PSG will win the next match against Montpellier by a big margin.

It will be a win win for PSG because they are the strongest in the league and have no rival. There are many weak teams in PSG that don't have the motivation to improve their performance and take the bold step of challenging PSG in the league. This is why Mbaple absence will not be felt in Ligue 1 but in UCL. I expect PSG to keep on winning their matches without a lose. Imagine scoring 3 goals in 6 minutes as if it is basketball and not football.

PSG have already played two matches in the new season where they got full points in the first match and they also got full points in the second match but the way they performed in the second match did not for once look like a key player from this team has left for another club. Against Montpellier PSG played like a boy, we saw PSG players only score against the opposition throughout the whole period and at one point I wondered why the PSG goalkeeper didn't go and try to score.
PSG won this match with a huge margin of 6-0 goals. 

I have been saying before that with the players that PSG still have, they can win the Ligue 1 title without any obstacles and that is how it is. They have won the first two matches by a big margin and they have earned 6 points which has already left them behind the other teams. Their early performances will definitely continue in the local league as we have seen them before.

It was really an amazing game. Last season we saw Mbappe-centric play from PSG. PSG relied heavily on Mbappe's performance and Mbappe's skills to score goals and get wins. But this season they rely on collective play. Maybe for the first time I see PSG as a solid team. 6 goals were scored by 5 different players. This shows the quality of PSG to play collectively. PSG have scored 9 goals in 2 games at the beginning of this season, it was not scored by one or two players. I can say that PSG this season is much better than previous seasons.

I mean it was expected PSG  to win of course, but 6-0 seems like a huge huge deal and I think it needs to be considered as one of the bigger deals, it's really clear that we are going to end up with something much marginal, and I feel like it is going to be a very good season for them. Also on top of that this Neves fella ended up showing even more than what they bargained for, he has been doing amazingly and assisting left and right in all games.

I think it's clear that we are seeing something special for them. I believe they are going to be pretty good this season, and I am not going to refrain from saying that in these two games, they have shown much better football than last year, but I just don't know if they can keep this up.

PSG scored 10 goals in their first two matches in Ligue 1, it seems that Mbappe's absence has even benefited them, maybe it has opened up opportunities for other players. It seems that Enrique was right that he was in no hurry to find a quick and expensive replacement for Mbappe, he is building a very young team, from players who want to play and are ready to show their best game for a place on the field. They will definitely win Ligue 1, there is no doubt about it, as for the Champions League, everything will depend on their play-off performance because that is where the most difficult opponents will be.

From each season they have always been the most productive club in scoring goals and this season they are also ready to do the same thing again by being able to create 10 goals in their first 2 matches. There is no doubt that compared to other clubs, they are the best club in Ligue 1.
Yes, I agree with you that Mbappe's departure might be an advantage for them, especially for other players. Usually Mbappe is always the target in the front line, now maybe that role will be played by many players so they have a greater chance of being able to create goals. Indeed, the presence of star players in a club brings positive and negative sides. And maybe that is also the biggest weakness for a club. Paris Saint Germain must be able to prove that after Mbappe's departure they can actually be better, especially in the Champions League.

In today's match of French Soccer League LOSC vs Angers team has started a very nice match. So far LOSC team is leading by 1 goal. Angers team has not scored any goal so far but the performance of Angers team players is not very good which is why  Angers team may not be able to score any goal. LOSC team goalkeeper L. Chevalier is doing a great performance. Let's see how many goals LOSC team can win the match until the end of today's match.

[bering]

Today Lyon has just get poor result again because they had just lost from Monaco with the final scores 2-0 and although Alexandre Lacazette has return to playing after defend France national team on Olympic but he didn't help well even according to the statistics Lyon only have 1 total of shot and 32% ball possession which from these statistics i can see it Lyon during the match was playing under pressure

Conceded 5 goals and 2 losing streak is not good results to starting this season even Lyon position currently at the bottom of league table and what i fear from them is Lyon will be repeating their last season performance when at that time Lyon they were unable to win at the beginning of season

This new PSG is cool. From individual superstar competing to a team of talents working together. Absolutely gorgeous. That Dembélé player! As well as scoring goals, he creates chances for his teammates. This is championship-winning selflessness. All of the team has adopted this new mentality.

PSG can finally compete in the Champions League. Once too dependent on one or two players, they became predictable. They now have threats all over the field thanks to Barcola and Lee. Just demolished Montpellier. Their preparation goes beyond Ligue 1 to the finest European teams. You need a team that can adapt and surprise you to win at the highest level.

Lyon performed quite well last season and they were even able to qualify for the European League this season, but losing twice in a row certainly made their fans start to worry about their chances in the league and European League this season, previously Lyon had to lose from Rennes who were not even well from them and today Monaco actually became the team that destroyed Lyon without any resistance at all, Monaco, who played quite impressively from the start of the match, was able to continue to pressure Lyon defense without giving Lyon a chance to develop their game, Monaco created quite a lot of shots in that match, however Luckily Lyon's defense and goalkeeper performed quite well so they only conceded two goals.

The presence of Lacazette actually didn't help Lyon at all and the majority of their forward players performed quite badly, compared to the match against Rennes, in my opinion Lyon performance today very bad and throughout the match they were unable to create goal opportunities or just to endanger Monaco defense althogh once in that match.

PSG started the season very well this time and knocking Montpellier by 6 goals to 0 was very awesome from them. Poor Montpellier will not recover easily from that match.
We are talking about scoring 10 goals in two matches while receiving only one goal! There is only Marseille that scored many goals in the first time and they have to keep the same rythme if they want to keep up with PSG. This season announced well for them

Angers team has not scored any goal so far but the performance of Angers team players is not very good which is why  Angers team may not be able to score any goal. LOSC team goalkeeper L. Chevalier is doing a great performance. Let's see how many goals LOSC team can win the match until the end of today's match.

Angers is a promoted team, so I personally remain confident in choosing Lille to win. Also, about the Lille goalkeeper that you said was good, basically Angers also did not have many shots on target, because Angers only had two shots on target so I think Chevalier also did not make many saves. But indeed, based on the existing rating, that Chevalier got a good rating, so that shows that Chevalier played well too. With this victory, at least Lille is also in second place in the standings.

But besides that, it seems that PSG has also shown its dominance, because PSG also managed to win with a big score and also with clean sheets, PSG managed to beat Montpellier with a score of 6-0. With this result, of course, makes PSG at the top of the standings with a lot of goals compared to other teams in Ligue 1.

[baeva]

In past seasons, PSG, when they had Mbappe and other good players, didn't score many goals very often, so we can't underestimate the great achievements of the current squad without Mbappe. I also don't see Ligue 1 as being weak. That would be the same as saying that La Liga or the Premier League are also weak, because in La Liga only Real Madrid and Barcelona win, and in the Premier League Manchester City dominates the league.

Such big wins certainly only please the fans and form good statistics for the team on the goal difference system, let's see how they will continue to win and with what difference. I think comparing leagues is still correct, it is important to understand the dynamics of the teams and the league as a whole, France and England are heaven and earth, completely different leagues with different levels of teams. And I'm not saying it's a bad thing overall, because somehow PSG did relatively well in the Champions League

Sirfimngh too many goals from PSG means they don't have any problems with attacks and they won't need a forward anymore to take the place of Mbappe in this team and the place of this player already filled with other players and Enrique did it with the good teamwork in PSG. I think the problem in PSG is still about having better defenders this way PSG can be stronger and this can make PSG ready to race in the Champions League with a better situation to get better results.

I also see it like that where PSG could be a much better team this season than last season when they still had Mbappe in their squad. The victory with a score of half a dozen could be a sign that PSG are now starting to focus more on the players they have and no longer rely on just one player like last season. And I can also see that PSG is still a strong team in Ligue 1 this season, but I hope PSG can also have better strength when competing in the Champions League this season.

Focusing on the players a team has got currently is literally the best thing PSG can do for their selves, literally it's the best and easiest way to quickly get to win the champions League hopefully some day then when they had to keep their dependence on certain numbers of star players in their team. Even the best teams around the world currently, do not depend on any player or even a certain number of players, rather their collective ness has been of of their strength to the point they appear like they are the best in the world as so much dependency on particular number of players only increases the chances that these team becomes less productive in their absence and loses their form and strength outside the confineds of these players.

Mbappe departure to Real Madrid made other PSG players shine brighter, last season they were all under the shadow of the French star. Overall, it was very good for the team, because it was proven that their performance became more solid and more productive. But in terms of finance, Mbappe departure is still seen as PSG biggest financial loss in the club history. It must be admitted that PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1, and so far we have not seen any team that has the financial strength to approach them. However, Marseille seems to have tried their best so far, and maybe Roberto De Zerbi squad can put pressure on to make the competition for the trophy even fiercer this season. We have not seen how PSG performs in the Champions League without Mbappe, which I think they will still be fine when facing small teams, and could be very difficult when facing favorites like Real Madrid or Manchester City.

[adultcrypto]

PSG has become unstoppable this season following the exit of Kylan Mbappe. Could it be that he was their obstacle? Tonight they are leading Montpellier five goals to zero in a match they dominated even in terms of play. It seems Mbappe have been hindering some of their key players from giving their best as all attention were on him. They won their last match with also a very wide margin which is an indication that they are back to business and not too affected by the departure of their key man, Mbappe.

We see how ineffective a game based on a single player is, how effective a system game is. PSG has adopted team play this season and the results are already impressive. They seem unstoppable in the French league, that's why I'm actually more curious about the Champions League. Montpellier couldn't do anything to stop PSG, they got yellow cards for all four of their players in the match. Mbappe leaving was a good thing for PSG.

That's a statement. Opponents can't just key in on one guy anymore. This PSG is unpredictable, and that's dangerous. They're not just outscoring teams; they're outsmarting them

Seems a good number of you have accepted that line of thought that some players of PSG have been activated by the exit of Mbappe. It is not actually far from the truth because the present PSG is playing a different football from last season. There is coordination and cohesion in the team with each and everyone of the players giving their best with the purpose of proving the point that Mbappe leaving PSG is never the end of the team. I just hope they will be able to remain this strong when they play teams from other leagues when the champions league starts. This is because the champions league is the major test of PSG.
