French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[mammusu]

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.

Brest showed that they will continue their successful performance from last year by winning the match by 4 goals. They had 2 defeats but they can start a series with this victory. They did not start the league well but the 4-0 result shows that they can play good matches like last year. After all, the league has just started and there are still many matches to be played. Saint Étienne is in last place. What a bad start.

Brest was able to win the match with a pretty landslide score, the victory over Saint Etienne shows their dominance in the last few seasons over Saint, but I think the big win that Brest has got at the moment is not something that we should praise because after all they have lost points in the previous two matches, just like the Etienne, Brest also did not start the league well after they were destroyed by Lens and Marseille, but the difference is Currently Brest can rise and get their first 3 points although I am actually not sure if their can repeat their achievements like last season, while Etienne of course we know if they have just been promoted to Ligue 1 this season so beating them does not make Brest look better at the moment because after all Etienne is a weak club.
Next week will be a difficult match for the Brest, because they are required to be able to maintain their performance and also be able to at least get 1 point when facing the favorite to win ligue 1 (PSG) later.

What you said in my opinion contradicts what Brest got in the first 2 matches, because they had to suffer defeat in those 2 matches and that was not a good start for them. Maybe it is more accurate to say that this landslide victory is a turning point where their performance will be better in the next matches. In the first match they had to suffer a landslide defeat from Marseille, they had to lose with a score of 5-1, after that they also had to suffer defeat from Lens with a score of 2-0 in the second week. In the third week they were just able to win the match, even though they were able to win with a landslide score but we also cannot immediately forget what they felt in the first 2 matches. I do not mean to underestimate, but they also got this landslide victory from a team with promotion status or in other words we do not know yet whether they are ready to be in Ligue 1 or not.

Lille vs PSG

A highly anticipated match today and one of the most interesting matches to determine whether Lille will be able to become the strongest competitor for PSG. Both teams are in a very stable condition but PSG is still more favored with the quality of players who have better experience.
From H2H we see that PSG can always beat Lille and in the previous 2 matches were able to score a large number of points and I decided to bet on PSG over 2.5 with odds @3.5.

PSG will continue to dominate this season without any surprises. PSG are the clear favorites in all their games in Ligue 1. Of course, they will lose points from time to time, but I don't think it will affect their progress too much. PSG and Lille have exchanged goals in their last six games. Both teams have won their first two league games and have made a good start in Ligue 1. Lille can score in this match. I expect this match to be a high tempo affair and my betting tip is in favor of PSG. Even if PSG will play a difficult away game, they will win this match with their experience.

For some seasons now St-Étienne has been doing very bad I was even thinking that they would make some changes as the season is starting but is getting more worster for them, actually I believe if St-Étienne will sign some good strikers there playing pattern will change but I'm surprised they are not too concerned about there poor performance, imagine there first three matches of the season they were unable to win anyone of those matches, so actually with the look of things I will not be wrong if I should say that they will go on relegation this season because they are already there, i also believe that Angers will have the same faith if they did not change there method because they have also lose there first two matches.

From H2H we see that PSG can always beat Lille and in the previous 2 matches were able to score a large number of points and I decided to bet on PSG over 2.5 with odds @3.5.

Enrique this time must really make PSG continue to get points in every match to prove that he is able to manage PSG without Mbappe and can still provide consistent performances and for Lille, if this team wants to compete at the top, they should be able to hold a draw. But it seems impossible to be able to hold a draw when playing against PSG.

The odds given for the match are like above.

PSG have such tempting odds to bet on right?    1.89 is just great. Considering the visible difference in PSG's performance compared to last season, I think they have a serious chance to win here.

The game here last season ended up with a 1-1 draw by the way. They should be able to do better while playing way stronger as a team. Lille don't look good enough to me. I mean especially their last performance against Slavia Prague. They were nearly saying goodbye to the Champions League you know. If PSG take control of the game easily then I think they can even win by at least a gap of 2 goals.

There is a big difference between the two teams. Lille is a difficult team, but it is not difficult for PSG. PSG is one of the top 10 teams in the world right now. Despite Mbappe's departure, I think so. Enrique really made a lot of positive contributions to the team. They are seeing the impact of that. I don't think there is a team that can stop them in the French league. Lille is in a slightly more advantageous position because they are the home team, but there is no difficult away game for PSG in France.

[rendravolt]

Marseille under De Zerbi was very dangerous this season because last night Marseille has successfully to beat Toulouse with the final scores 3-1 and once again Greenwood has just did his magic because in this match he has make brace and if i am not mistaken this is his second brace this season with Marseille and currently Greenwood is Marseille top scorer with 5 goals from 3 matches

 i can see it that Marseille was playing very aggressive because according to the statistic they are very dominate the match and i know this is too early but i start to thinking that probably Marseille can being an strong contender for PSG for race title because i think Marseille has good start this season under De Zerbi

This guy is special and I think Marseille are very lucky to have him. If he was still at his old club then his potential would not be as great and Mason Greenwood can always be a key player when the team he plays for needs a win. De Zerbi is a fantastic coach and I think here Marseille also did a great job by making a significant integration of the team.

Toulouse were not like usual and this time they played quite haphazardly, a weak defense made it very easy for Marseille to break through their goal. It should be noted that Marseille this season will be a real title challenger and I hope PSG start preparing for that. They always put pressure on their opponents and maybe when they face PSG later they can win quite easily.

Saint Étienne is in last place. What a bad start.

Brest's first win in League 1 in my opinion is not too surprising and with what Brest showed in the match against Saint Étienne, getting full points is a must because from what we know Saint Étienne is a promotion team that is not strong enough and is not an opponent comparable to Brest who last season managed to finish in 3rd position. Well, in the 4th week Brest will face PSG which should be proof whether they can beat PSG or at least get a draw.

Honestly I would personally want to risk this PSG odd as it's really enticing yet it appears like it's going to come through. Lille has been of a bad performance yet I don't want to believe they are going to defeat PSG tho there are chances of repeating the results they got last season against PSG but somehow looking at the new pattern and strategy pSG has employed in their last games, I don't think they are ever going to loose out in this, so best pick would be a win or draw for PSG or possibly both teams scoring wouldn't be a bad idea. Lillie has a little weakness around their midfield which is something PSG can take advantage of if they  try.

That is very true because Saint Étienne is indeed not an opponent that is quite comparable to Brest who last season managed to occupy third place in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, the next match which will take place at the Parc des Princes is a match that is worth waiting for because PSG is the real opponent in Ligue 1 and Brest will be considered very extraordinary if they can beat PSG at the Parc des Princes. However, I personally still have doubts about Brest because PSG is still much stronger than any team in Ligue 1 this season.

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.

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

Lyon snatched victory from the jaws of defeat today, and it's a wake-up call to the whole Ligue 1. Forget their shaky start, this team has teeth. The new signings are gelling, and when Niles scored, you could feel the shift. Sage went all-out attack, and it paid off big time. This win isn't just three points, it's a statement. Lyon can fight back, they can beat anyone on their day. Lens next? That's a real test. But today showed they've got the guts and the brains to compete

Both teams were leaky at the back. Sage needs to fix that fast. If he can shore up the defense and keep this attacking fire burning, Lyon could be a serious problem this season. Don't sleep on them

[Lidger]

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.

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.

Luis Enrique is a very capable manager and has experience of leading big teams before so he will make the decisions that are best for PSG but my current PSG team looks like this team is unlikely to do well in the Champions League next season at least. If you look at the Champions League performances last season, you can clearly see Mbappe's contribution. Due to the contribution of Mbappe, PSG was able to play the semi-finals last season, but this season, including Mbappe, some other important players are not in PSG, so it will be difficult for them to overcome the barrier of the Super Sixteen in the next season.

PSG had the opportunity to sign Victor Osimhen but they did not show much interest in signing this player, PSG's attacking line-up would be much stronger if PSG could complete the deal.

[Jody.Drummer]

What is interesting is the match between Lyon vs Strasbourg, they exchanged goals and a total of 7 goals were scored in this match, Lyon each scored 4 goals and Strasbourg scored 3 goals.
Strasbourg made a surprise by scoring a quick goal in the third minute, and it took until the end of the first half for Lyon to equalize. Again, Strasbourg was able to score a quick goal at the beginning of the second half and even 10 minutes later they were able to lead with a score of 1-3. However, Lyon did not remain silent seeing their goal conceded, they immediately responded and only needed 5 minutes to make the score equal. In the 72nd minute Lyon was finally able to turn things around through the second goal from Gift Orban, at the same time it was the last goal scored in this match.

[BALIK]

PSG is in good form but today's match is challenging for PSG. Lille is a renowned team of Ligue 1. The team is performing well in this season as well. Lille won the first two matches. Lille will not want to lose today's home match. I think the team will try to share the points in the match. Lille will be happy if they can get 1 point against PSG.

Lille is a strong team but PSG's past record against this team is very good. PSG have won four of their last five matches against Lille. PSG team has not lost a single match. PSG have played very well in the first two matches this season as well and managed to win by a big margin. Luis Enrique's goal continues his winning streak. He will be looking to cement his place at the top of the table at the start of the season.



No team can score in 20 minutes yet. However, PSG's players managed to make two excellent attacks. PSG players are putting Lille players under pressure. Hopefully PSG will be able to score in the first half.

Lyon has an impressive performance for a team like Strasbourg that's is literally an average team on their level in the ligue 1, I had no expectations for this game because literally I only saw it from the perspective that two average teams where playing and the are going to perform to the best of their strength and not having roo much of an expectation from them yet they pulled of one of the most epic game so far in the ligue 1 this season. The intervals at which this goals were scored is another thing to consider again too, it just gave me an impression not to make an underestimation at any team just yet in the ligure 1 this season.

At the end of the first half, the PSG team managed to take a 2-0 lead. And I'd say if PSG's luck isn't too bad then there's no chance they'll lose this match. In the first half we saw the dominance of PSG. Despite Lille's home match, the team is unable to put up any resistance against PSG. Lille players had only 2 shots with 35% ball possession in the first half. It is also unlikely that Lille will dominate the match in the second half.

Vitinha scored the first goal from the penalty spot. Vitinha scored the goal in the 33rd minute of the match. And just 3 minutes later Barcola's goal gave PSG a 2-0 lead. PSG won the last match against Montpellier by a huge margin of 6-0. In today's match too I predict PSG to win by at least 2 goals. PSG's players look very confident.

[LGD2Business]

PSG won again and made it three for three in the league. It was their toughest game so far but they didn't struggle against Lille. After Vitinha scored from a penalty, Barcola also scored and they had a comfortable game. Lille reduced the difference through Zhegrova, but then their goal was disallowed and Kolo Muani had the last word. PSG look set for a comfortable title again this season, with Mbappe's departure not affecting them at all.

Lille were in very good form. After winning the first two matches, Lille's players were very confident. Even then they could not perform well against PSG. Due to PSG's dominance, the performance of Lille's players was poor in this match. Luis Enrique must be thanked for this. PSG's performance is strong because of the mastermind of Luis Enrique.

PSG's gameplay was very organized. I wouldn't say PSG players attacked a lot in this match. But every attack PSG made was very sharp. And had Lille's defenders not performed well, they would have conceded a few more goals. But Lille were a bit unlucky. In the second half they managed to score two goals but one goal was disallowed. I am satisfied with PSG's performance. I'd say PSG can easily continue their winning streak for a few more weeks.

Mbappe departure to Real Madrid made other PSG players shine brighter, and there are no more egos that are favored in the dressing room. In my opinion, Luis Enrique is currently freer to formulate strategies in every match, without having to favor Mbappe as the club main goal scorer, and can encourage every player to do so. Therefore, PSG can easily win matches, and their goal productivity is also quite high. In addition, this is a great opportunity for PSG to build the club collectively, without having to rely on one or two star players like in previous seasons.

If they continue to perform consistently in Ligue 1, PSG chances of going further in the Champions League are also greater, although we realize that winning the trophy is very difficult to achieve. Meanwhile, we all have to respect Mbappe, for what he has dedicated to PSG, he is a legend for PSG. What is interesting about PSG this season is that they are not forcing themselves to find a replacement for Mbappe, even though they had previously pursued Osimhen signature to fill the vacancy left by Mbappe.
