French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Weawant]

Real Madrid didn't lost anything yet and they are still in a better situation with Mbppe because thanks to Mbappe they have a better and a younger forward who can play there for years and make Real Madrid happy to have a player like him but he didn't have good performance recently in Real Madrid that's maybe because other strategies of Real Madrid and the playing style of Mbappe but still we can't forget even after Mbappe left PSG they didn't lose anything yet.

He has been of a huge as any to Madrid, it even appears he's having a better time at Madrid than he did when he was at PSG, he's style of play for me is looking even better and has got some more coordination and maturity which further makes it vision driven, when Madrid got him, they obviously knew he was the best suit for the position of the striker of which he's fitting in so well already although he's yet to pit out a very outstanding performance in the la Liga games but his debut was undisputably awesome and su h that Madrid did benefitted a lot from to the point they where able to the point they won a trophy.

Lyon 4 - 3 Strasbourg!
Lyon started the season with 2 defeats and they received 5 goals without scoring any. In the other hand, Strasbourg earned 4 points in two rounds with positive goals difference. Fast forward in today's match, Strasbourg was leading twice, yet they failed in front of the resistance of Lyon to comeback and win for the first time this season.
Tomorrow there is PSG - Lille away but PSG is way more favourite to win

I bet on both teams to score. I was quite happy to see the result in the first half. Then I was surprised to see the final result with Lyon's advantage. What was even more surprising was that there were many goals in this match, something I didn't think about. I was quite hesitant to bet on a team to win, so I chose both teams to score.

PSG vs Lille match, it's quite difficult to make a prediction. Playing at Lille's home ground will not be easy for PSG to win. Maybe a draw is good enough.

Lyon vs Strasbourg

Lyon started like last season at the beginning of the season always starting with a very bad performance. Indeed, in terms of H2H, Lyon should be more favored than Strasbourg. But I will not only believe in the last 5 meetings of these two teams but also look at their previous performances which were only able to get 2 defeats that Lyon got.
Strasbourg is much better at the moment with the success of getting 3 points from Rennes and being able to get 1 point from the away match against Montpellier. This is the reason I bet on Strasbourg victory to try to get an advantage from this match. The temporary score Strasbourg managed to get 1 score and Lyon still couldn't score.
From ball possession, Lyon controlled the ball more often but had difficulty in making attacks. But on the other hand, Strasbourg had lower ball possession but had surprising attacks when Lyon defense started to lose focus.

But Lyon have managed to contradict your feelings and they managed to win at home. There were so many goals scored and it shows how fierce this match was. Honestly I didn't think Lyon would win and I thought they would draw against Strasbourg. But here they were very angry and didn't want to continue getting bad results at the start of each season.

Strasbourg actually played quite well and they were able to match the pressure on the hosts. But here Lyon seemed destined to win and with a score of 4-3 it feels like there are two things to watch out for where they can score a lot of goals but on the other hand they also concede a lot of goals. This must be fixed immediately otherwise Lyon will find it difficult to win again in the next match.

What a game man! I never expected such return after the score became 1-3 for Lyon. Considering the way they started the season it is really difficult to believe in such thing. However that comeback was insane!    Gift Orban was such a game changer a short time after being subbed in. He played a big role in this win with 2 goals.

This was needed for Lyon but will they continue to win you think? Honestly I don't expect that in the coming games. First an away game against Lens and later a home one against Marseille. Both are very challenging...

After Mbappe left PSG, I thought PSG would be an average team again and other teams would be able to match them. But 2 wins with 10 goals and 1 conceded made me think that this season it seems like PSG has become a solid team and plays collectively as a team, not just making one person as a target man. PSG's gameplay in the first 2 league matches really surprised me. It was beyond my expectation. The next match is against LOSC, a team that also collected 6 points. It will be an interesting match. But it seems that with PSG's current performance it will still be difficult for other teams to beat their dominance in Ligue 1.

As I often say, PSG's game is much more solid in every line and much more fluid, not focusing on one player like when Mbappe was still at the club, losing Mbappe can be said to be a good thing this season PSG is more productive in terms of goals.
yes if we talk about PSG's current opponents in week 3 of league 1, I am still optimistic that PSG can win at Lille's home later, but Lille also cannot be underestimated by every opponent including PSG, most likely Lille will give a surprise in the match later, and PSG must be more focused in this match if not Lille can steal points.

PSG still have players like Ashraf Hakimi Dembele so they have no reason to worry about the local league, they will still be champions in the local league tournament. PSG will also have a huge points gap with their nearest rivals. 

With the way PSG have performed in their first two games in the French League, I think they may have forgotten that Mbappe is no longer in their team. Because in the first two matches we saw PSG score a lot of goals and win two matches by big margins. But the most important thing is that the next season does not look good for PSG in the Champions League because PSG does not currently have the kind of players that a team needs to do well in the Champions League.

Lyon finally got the win they were looking for, after having one of those bad starts with zero points after two games, I feared that they would have a start like last year, not that it's off the table, they could still have that but it looks like they had some good game and looked quite good to be fair and that's why we should be considering this as something good for them.

Lyon finished not too bad last year after having an awful start, if they can have a better start this season and do fine, they would be a lot better. Unfortunately they are financially in a terrible position, their entire team is basically on sale, I do not know what they are going to do and how they will survive, but the recovery will be a lot harder if they keep on losing games.

This is why I think it's clear that they are going to try to win more, players know that if they keep on being just terrible, they won't be transferred for a lot and won't make much salary, so they will probably try to win games so they can get better salary offers from other teams.

PSG will not have difficulty in pursuing domestic titles because there are still many players who can be relied on and are more qualified than other clubs.
I agree with you that over time, PSG will forget Mbappe in league 1 but will always be brought up when appearing in the champions league.
Maybe we are too early to judge whether PSG can perform like last season in the UCL because the new regulations in the UCL give opportunities to other clubs that are not favored and all of that is because popular clubs in the UCL will be busier and tired of having a tighter schedule.
If Enrique can take this opportunity, PSG can perform well in the champions league this season.

I think the most remarkable match of the day in the French Ligue 1 will be Toulouse vs Marseille. Toulouse started the season with 2 draws. Last week they drew 1-1 with Nice. Their defense was good in that match. On the other hand, Marseille drew 2-2 with Reims last week. In that game I think they had some important problems in defense. I don't think there won't be many goals in this match. Toulouse will defend well. And they want to take advantage of being the home team. I think Marseille will play like a classic away team. Under 2,5 goals is a good option for this match.

Kylian Mbappe having been the top scorer in the French league in the last six seasons so I understand it when so many people thought that Paris Saint Germaine are gonna struggle without him in the team. However, I never doubted the strength of the Paris Saint Germaine team neither did I think they'll struggle to continue their dominance of the French league in absence of Kylian Mbappe. With or without Kylian Mbappe, Paris Saint Germaine posseses the strongest squad in the league so I expect them to continue their dominance in the league. That being said, I'm worried if they'll be able to continue their impressive start to the season when the UEFA Champions League competition returns next month

Initially, almost everyone thought that PSG would experience a decline in goal productivity after Mbappe left, but what happened at the beginning of this season was truly beyond expectations, PSG did not depend at all on Mbappe who has always been the top scorer in the last few seasons. Now it is Mbappe who is having difficulty adapting at Real Madrid because in the three matches played in La Liga, he has not registered his name on the scoreboard.

PSG game is more compact and the players work well together since Mbappe's departure, they always take advantage of opportunities well and immediately pass the ball to other players who are in ideal positions to score goals. Luis Enrique needs to maintain the cooperation of the players so that their game becomes more solid, he must learn from what Leverkusen did last season who managed to win the Bundesliga trophy and were recorded as a team that was undefeated in one season even without the most prominent player in their squad.

It is very likely that PSG fans will forget Mbappe in the near future, I even think it will happen at the end of this season when they are able to defend the Ligue 1 title later and it is much better for the team so they can find new stars to help the team surpass what Mbappe has dedicated.

So far, no other Ligue 1 team has developed rapidly to be able to compete with PSG so it is very likely that PSG will not have any difficulty in defending the title.
And I believe in Enrique to be able to build this team with the process and become even better
And for PSG's progress in the Champion League, they will also face all possibilities like last season and for the new Champion League regulations, we don't know yet whether it will benefit some teams or not, what is clear is that PSG will remain a team to be reckoned with on the Champion League stage.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Several PSG players who have always been Mbappe colleagues before have now also shown how great they are to continue to perform optimally in every Ligue 1 match and hopefully in the future when they play for the UCL competition they can show their performance again like when they were here, although I not sure but I want to see it.

That is very positive, I think that a football team is made up of 11 players, never of one that makes them shine, although always making a team dependent on a single player is very risky, because if that player gets injured, then that is all.

When there is unity in a team and they work well together, I think they can do many good things, and that is what Luis Enrique is betting on, who for me has earned a lot of respect despite the fact that I would not accept many of the decisions that he has had in his hands , especially with the Spanish national team when they went to Qatar, I think that the coach has improved a lot.

Today's match of Brest vs St-Étienne team has already started. So far Brest team is leading by 2 goals. The players of St-Étienne team have not scored any goals so far. Let's see what happens in this match. Previous match of St-Étienne team  Kullu didn't do anything well for which he doesn't seem to be able to do anything well in this match.

[Ndabagi01]

Yes, Mbappe departure from PSG will not really affect their performance in Ligue 1 even though this is an opportunity for other teams to be condition that makes it easier for them to become PSG competitors in the fight for the championship title.
But all of this will be clearly visible and affect PSG performance when they are in an important competition like the UCL, we all know how Mbappe performance is and his departure will certainly be very difficult for PSG to compete in the UCL competition.
Several PSG players who have always been Mbappe colleagues before have now also shown how great they are to continue to perform optimally in every Ligue 1 match and hopefully in the future when they play for the UCL competition they can show their performance again like when they were here, although I not sure but I want to see it.

Big dependency on Mbappe may have affected all other players in PSG especially those playing in the forward positions like him of not being able to showcase their full potential as a player. Now that he has left, it is now on them to show that they’re equally good as him and can uplift the team to any length they can. I can vow for them in the Ligue 1 that they will be able to win the league. Looking at the bigger competition which is the champions league, one cannot vow for them just yet and they’ll need to prove to the whole whole world that they can also be trusted for the champions league triumph. For now, the team is playing well even without Mbappe, I wish they can continue in this form to the end of the season.

Lyon started the season with 2 defeats and they received 5 goals without scoring any. In the other hand, Strasbourg earned 4 points in two rounds with positive goals difference. Fast forward in today's match, Strasbourg was leading twice, yet they failed in front of the resistance of Lyon to comeback and win for the first time this season.

Lyon managed to achieve a surprising victory after previously experiencing two defeats in their last match and it seems that many did not expect the final result of this match, including myself who was pessimistic that Lyon could win this match because in the first half they conceded a quick goal from Sebastian Nanasi, but Lyon was able to reply at the end of the first half another thing I did not expect in the second half Lyon was able to turn things around, trailing 3-1, Strasbourg was unable to maintain its lead, and here Lyon rose by giving resistance 3 goals in return were successfully created by Lyon until the match ended, the rain of goals proved that both teams were weak in their defense and had to be fixed immediately by their respective coaches

[fuguebtc]

So far PSG have started the season perfectly, 10 goals in 2 match is a really good statistic.
Many people think that PSG's goal productivity this season will decrease greatly when they are left behind by Kylian Mbappe, but in fact this is not true. If PSG can maintain this kind of performance in Ligue 1, then they will retain the Ligue 1 title this season.
Now, do you really believe PSG can qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League when they are drawn against the following teams?

I could not care less about how many goals PSG are scoring in that league. Because honestly, Ligue 1 is not really a competitive league, it never was.

Mbappe left PSG, now he's struggling at Real Madrid as a number 9 there. But PSG is doing good. But we will get to know how good PSG is when they come to play the UCL, because boy-oh-boy. What a difficult set of matches for them!

Home: Manchester City, Atlético Madrid, PSV Eindhoven and Girona.
Away: Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Salzburg and Stuttgart.

Now City, Atletico Madrid, PSV, Bayern Munich, Arsenal - all are amazingly good teams - and the UCL performances will be the true metric for PSG - and that will tell us how good they really are. So far they seem good, but for the Paris team to succeed - they have to be more than just good.

Lyon managed to end their negative trend today with a very extraordinary comeback, falling behind with a quick goal in that the match actually made Lyon actually quite depressed and even when Strasbourg was able to take a 3-1 lead over Lyon in the second half , I started to think if it looked like Lyon would continue their bad trend today with 3 consecutive defeats, but it was the goal created by Niles that really changed their game,  Niles goal in the 61st minute managed to make Lyon reduce the score to 3-2 and it is quite visible how the goal seems to be a whip for them to increase the intensity of the attack which in the end Lyon who was able to make a comeback in the match and managed to get their first 3 points this season, Lyon in my opinion is one of the teams that previously deserved to be the favorite as a PSG competitor after the many transfers they have made this season,  But for some reason they were not able to start the season well and even had to suffer 2 defeats, the victory over Strasbourg I think will be the beginning of their resurgence of the season and let's see what Pierre Sage can do to continue their consistency this season in Ligue 1. 

[hahay]

Today's match of Brest vs St-Étienne team has already started. So far Brest team is leading by 2 goals. The players of St-Étienne team have not scored any goals so far. Let's see what happens in this match. Previous match of St-Étienne team  Kullu didn't do anything well for which he doesn't seem to be able to do anything well in this match.

Basically St Etienne is a promotion team and also, in the last season that Brest had good results, because Brest last season also managed to finish in third place and that made Brest also play in the Champion League this season. Thus, then of course Brest really has to have a good performance this season, so in this home match against St Etienne, in fact, Brest managed to win with a big score of 4-0. Perhaps, this match is also a very appropriate moment for Brest to get points, because in the previous two matches Brest lost by Marseille and Lens.

Indeed, this 4-0 victory has not made Brest in the upper zone in the Ligue 1 standings but at least, Brest can still show that Brest has been better than St Etienne. Because anyway, in this match also Brest really dominated the match so that St Etienne was also unable to do anything in the away match against Brest. But also, maybe with results like this I personally think it seems difficult for St Etienne to stay in Ligue 1. Because with three early defeats like this and the fact that St Etienne really can't create goals too,  then maybe St Etienne will be relegated at the end of the season if St Etienne doesn't improve it.

Luis Enrique is one of the best coaches when he manages a team at club level. He was not good when coaching the national team, but his quality and coaching abilities have been tested at club level. He is one of the most respected coaches, but his glory was at Barcelona. I don't know if Enrique can also win the Champions League title with another team, but he won it with Barcelona several seasons ago.

So far, Luis Enrique has indeed developed. He doesn't seem to depend on his team's fate on one particular player, it's clear he had good experience at Barcelona which then helped him develop at PSG now. The Ligue 1 title is likely guaranteed for him this season, but I doubt PSG in the Champions League.

Lyon first victory was very dramatic, many did not expect Pierre Sage squad to be able to turn things around. In my opinion, this victory can be a valuable asset for the players mentality, in the future they can appear more confident to overcome every challenge. Strasbourg is not really a tough club, in Ligue 1 Lyon reputation is still much better than Strasbourg, it's just that in the last few seasons Lyon has experienced a decline in performance. Last season Lyon was very lucky to be able to rise and finish in 6th place in the standings, this season it should not happen again. Next Lyon will face Lens, we realize that Lens has better consistency than Lyon, and it is lucky if Lacazette and his colleagues can help his team continue the positive trend next week. In general, Lyon journey forward will be increasingly difficult with the increasing match schedule they follow.

[rahmad2nd]

Marseille did a great job when visiting Toulouse's headquarters by getting full points, they played by dominating the course of the match. Uniquely, Greenwood scored again in his third match. Under De Zerbi's touch, Mason Greenwood's performance has improved, in his three matches his game statistics have remained consistent. This victory brought Marseille to the top of the standings and as we predicted earlier, this season Marseille will perform much better. Unfortunately, De Zerbi does not have a solid pure striker, they should have brought in Nketiah a few weeks ago. I appreciate De Zerbi's team this season even though their journey is still quite long, but at least they have shown quite good performance. De Zerbi only needs to improve the performance of his front line players, especially the pure strikers they have. plus, improve the performance of the defense line. because, in every match they also concede goals. Next, Lique 1 will present the Lille vs PSG match which will be held tomorrow, PSG should be able to get full points and return to the top of the standings.
