French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Mbappe went to Real. I thought Real would score a lot of goals, but nothing has happened so far.
I thought PSG would have a goal shortage when Mbappe left, but so far PSG has scored more goals than last year and is in more scoring positions.
I couldn't figure this Mbappe out. He may be a good football player, but I don't think he will be able to contribute to Real like Ronaldo did. Maybe he can even be transferred to other clubs before 3-4 years.

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.

Lile is actually quite good, it's just that in this third match they have to meet PSG, so it's quite understandable. PSG dominates, their finishing is also much better than Lile. Lile actually also had several opportunities to score goals.

The statistics show that there is a pretty good resistance from Lile, only the finishing is not strong yet, plus the saves from the PSG goalkeeper are also that good. Oh yeah on the other side, the goalkeeper from Lile also tried his best there were some saves, only the overall defense is still not that strong to hold back PSG's attacks.

Away from the finishing which almost became an issue at some point for Lillie, I see their midfield as another point of slight weakness although PSG has a better one which gave them that edge, PSG had the lead in this game absolutely even if Lillie wasn't a really weak side even the statistics could testify to that and I see that PSG is so far improved such that they are literally going to of a good productive level this season, so far they are yet to have a single defeat this season and I hope they are able to add some consistency to it enough to get them maintaining top position on the table through the league.

Instead of Mbappe, Barcola is doing very well for now. If Mbappe was in the team, he would probably play like this. Barcola scored 4 goals in 3 matches and this area is important for PSG. Because it is difficult to fill the area that Mbappe left. I think both Asensio and Barcola are names that strengthen the team in the attacking lines. They also played very well against Lille and won 3 points with 3 goals. The Champions League will be next. Let's see how they play there.

This is what the team needs, a potential player that's vibrant enough to fit into the shoes of the former key player. Kylian Mbappe have been nothing but a thrilling improvement for PSG, feels so good to see Barcola stepping into that space and having an epic performance. PSG former player, Kylian Mbappe absence is felt but PSG just have to work extremely hard inother to accumulate three points on the ligue One table. We know it's been really a smooth day for Les Parisiens, winning all games played this season, and hitting back on top. Paris Saint-Germain headcoach, Luis Enrique is not missing his key players, he has learned to settle for accommodating factors and alternatives.

Mbappe departure seems to have had a positive impact on PSG, their game is getting better, the quality of their attacks is getting sharper and their goal productivity is increasing. The victory at Lille's headquarters completed the previous two wins, their success in collecting full points in three matches made PSG dominate the top of the standings and their might in Ligue 1 was still able to be maintained. PSG performance is very different from when they were still strengthened by top players like the ones you mentioned above, this season they managed to score 13 in 3 matches. The quality of the squad makes PSG more confident in the Champions League, this time they have found their identity with an increasingly solid squad quality.

Indeed, it should be so because PSG does not have to be weak when they have to lose their star players and if PSG has really found their identity again through an extraordinary performance in Ligue 1 this season. I also think that PSG will be a tough opponent in the Champions League this season even though the throne and pressure will always be different when the team is in another competition. But on the one hand, I also still think that PSG should be much stronger than they are now because here PSG only face opponents who are not quite on par with their strength, so when PSG face opponents who are so on par in the UCL it is no longer so difficult to get a win.

[Silence Scream]

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.

We see PSG winning the games in the French League without their superstar player Mbappe and that makes me remember that PSG had players like Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe in this team and they spent too much money for these players but in the end they couldn't get good results in the Champions League and now they are not spending too much money while they still have good performances in the games we saw from this team. Other than this they didn't have any problem in forwrs about scoring goals.
  

So money is not everything. Paris Saint-Germain could not achieve any success outside the league when they spent a lot of money. However, this year, despite Mbappé leaving, there is a good harmony in the team. As long as this harmony continues, they will win the league again. When we look back, they could not win the Champions League despite spending a lot of money and their only success is winning the French league. Now, they will win the French league again without spending money, in this case they will not have spent a lot of money and I think Paris Saint-Germain is more profitable.

So happy to see how challenging the Ligue 1 is going and the teams who can make PSG feel the heat are getting ready for that day they'll meet. Marseille are really taking the games one after the other without any rush and they are giving enough goals with the man Greenwood who have changed the way they play is something they should be grateful for.
I can't wait for the day PSG and Marseille will knock horns together, because in as much as PSG are dominating the league like no team can offend them I think Marseille has what it takes to bring them down this season, for now I don't see any team that can disturb PSG apart from Marseille, so is getting closer for PSG to test their strength.

Marseille wont slack off this season. They're storytelling while playing games. They're in with a chance with Greenwood. I swear, that kid changes everything. Marseille is now a contender under him.

With or without Mbappe, PSG are still a power. They're destroying teams, and Barcola's scoring is ridiculous. They'll never surrender. Its true that Greenwood has given Marseille confidence and togetherness. They're fearless and scoring goals for joy.

Styles will collide in this game. Marseille's tactics versus PSG's firepower. The pitch chess battle will be exciting. Marseille's approach may test PSG's efficiency. We'll see. This is a game you wont want to miss.

According to my prediction and almost failed to get a fairly large odds for me. Kolo Muani came in the second half and was frustrated with the first 2 goals and Lille had a change in the second half his performance improved and PSG conceded 1 goal when PSG defense was a little careless. Kolo Muani performance was really impressive which gave a happy impression to the fans even though it was only in league 1 but this is proof that Enrique has forgotten the playing style of relying on 1 player like Mbappe. PSG is currently accustomed to the appearance of very solid teamwork and all PSG players can contribute to scoring without relying on anyone.

Marseille performed quite well in their three matches at the start of this season, although they do not have a solid pure striker. To be honest, I am not too sure about Marseille's center forward, Elye Wahi, that he has not been able to prove consistent and play an epic performance. Although they have not yet found the striker they are looking for, Marseille has currently borrowed Neal Maupay. Although not a striker who is hungry for goals, it could be thanks to De Zerbi's touch that he is able to show his ability and stability. No less competitive with PSG, Marseille is also productive in terms of scoring goals in their three matches. Greenwood, is one of those who has created five goals in his 3 matches with Marseille. Even though his status is not as a pure striker who must score goals throughout their matches, even so he was able to show his ability. In addition, Marseille can be a team that shadows Paris Saint-Germain by sticking closely to the League table. To be honest, I am not sure if Marseille can beat Paris Saint Germain when they meet in the next match. because PSG also showed a solid game, including their two wings, Barcola and Dembele, who are increasingly established in their game. PSG midfielders are also now more creative under Enrique's tutelage, there is also Joao Neves, a young player who makes the difference. but we'll just see how far these two teams advance throughout the competition, especially when they meet later.

Congratulations on your win with the odds of 3.5 is very big, and I don't know why the bookie dared to give that number to PSG.

It is true that PSG has a different style of play, they no longer have big stars like before, that is what makes Luis Enrique to change his style of play, everyone seems to contribute and support each other in his game.

But I would love to see PSG meet all the teams in the standings, and whether they will be consistent in this way, the risk is that when one gets injured and is replaced with a player who does not have the same ability it will be a little difficult to build an attack.

You're right. It's no more a one sided affair but now other teams are stepping up and accepting the challenge. PSG have been holding court for a while now with them beating teams without apologies and I'm also anticipating the match between them and Marseille. I've watched Marseille and I must say they aren't a team to give up or discard so easily especially with the presence of Mason Greenwood. That guy has been a beacon of hope ever since he joined from Getafe and I'm glad he isn't on loan like he was at Getafe and doubly excited that he has left Man UTD. Indeed a change of scenery can do wonders for anyone.

Wow, that is a choice that really requires high confidence too, happy and congratulations on your victory. But indeed, considering the results obtained by PSG from the previous match, it is indeed worthy of choosing that option. But in this match, that PSG is also playing away and moreover the home team is also not a weak team, but you still choose PSG to score three goals like that,that is very impressive. But, I personally assume that if for example Lille does not score a goal in this match, then maybe the match will only end with 0-2 but yes, because Lille managed to score a reply goal, it triggered PSG to score another goal.

I personally really did not expect PSG to be very good after Mbappe left because after all, PSG also always managed to win with a big score. Maybe, by doing so it also proves that PSG can work as a team and not just rely on one player like when Mbappe was in the squad. With very impressive results sofar, then maybe PSG will also get goodresults in the Champions League with its new format. This season is very interesting.

You said they spent so much money and couldn't lift the Champions League, but they have a better team currently. We cannot determine how good the team is until they play in the Champions league. PSG has always dominated the French League, so their hundred percent performance is not strange. They also have the best and most expensive players in the Ligue One; they should be donating. The benchmark to grade players and coaches in PSG is their performance in the UCL. PSG got to the Champions League finals in 2020 when they lost to Bayern Munich, we will have to wait and see if the current players will be able to make it to the finals.

An excellent performance from the french giant PSG as they overwhelmed losc Lille 3-1 making it 3 wins in a row in french ligue1 this season, coach Luis Enrique has really helped this team a lot by changing the way they play for the better, prior to this time PSG find it difficult to face some of these big sides in the ligue1 but now they beat these teams with so much ease, it is so lovely to see how the PSG midfield combines so well with the forwards to crack the opponents defensive line up with those massive counter attacks that the home side couldn't resist but still went ahead to pull 1 back to get a consolation goal.

[Velvet78]

Another superb performance by PSG! They are really one of the teams to trust while betting these days.    Of course they won't win forever but I don't expect them to lose so many points in the Ligue 1 this time unlike the previous season.

Everyone is enjoying their game. For example Barcola completed last season with 4 goals and 7 assists in 25 games. But now he has scored 4 goals in 3 games already. That's an insane improvement! 

It seems like Mbappe's departure has affected everyone in the team positively. Because he was stealing the spotlight and this was a big obstacle for the other young talents in the team to show their skills comfortably.

After  three league games in the French league, the points difference between league leaders Paris Saint Germaine and 5th placed Monaco is just two points which means that the first five clubs at the top of the league are yet to concede a defeat with with Paris Saint Germaine the only club to have successfully won all three games. That's how competitive the French league have been so far in the new season and that I think is a very good way to sell the league to the rest of the world.
Mason Greenwood who you singled out from the other new arrivals in the French league have been in immense form for his new club Olympic Marseille and doesn't even look like who's going to slow down with his impressive performances any time soon. Great signing for Marseille

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 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. 

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.

Lyon football team gave excellent performance in this match and that performance was surprising for the fans because they did not expect that kind of output from Lyon team but we pray for that team for next match because next matches will be tough for that team . They have to prepare well for next matches because  Lens team is good team and they have good strikers and they will attack on Lyon team and they will win next match one sided.  But I will appreciate  Lyon team for giving their best . In last match, that kind of performance was not an easy task but they executed well and now they are getting respect from the fans but they have responsibility to carry on this performance and if they will carry that performance ,they will be successful in the future matches.

[Jossque]

There was no winner in the meeting of 2 teams that closed with a win in the first 2 weeks.Monaco and Lens shared the points with a 1-1 draw with a goal in the last 7 minutes.We can say that both teams played well.
Although Rennes took the lead against Reims, Reims managed to come back and win the match 2-1.Reims got their first win in the league and reached 4 points.
Nice was one of the teams that got their first win in Angers away from Angers by showering their opponent with goals. They defeated their opponent 4-1 in the away match and increased their points to 4. Even though they played with 10 men from the 65th minute onwards, they didn't give their opponents a chance and managed to maintain the difference immediately.

PSG at last realized that acquiring a lot of superstars does not ensure trophies. They are demonstrating this season that, every day of the week, group efforts surpass individual brilliance. Though Mbappé is a beast, he is absent from Ligue 1 and they are still dominating. That is the team depth and cohesiveness lacking years ago

This new approach creates a sustained winning culture rather than only helps one save money. Will it bring about Champions League success? That is the central query. Still, the Champions League is an other animal. It is savage and unforgiving. PSG has skill; now, they also need mental tenacity and tactical adaptability to go all the way

[Jossque]

Le Havre won the match against Auxerre despite going behind.Auxerre, who were reduced to 10 men at the end of the first half, lost control of the match in the second half.Le Havre, who took the lead at the beginning of the second half, scored the third goal from a penalty in the last minutes.
In the most important match of the week, Lille hosted PSG at home.Lille did not give their opponent many chances, but PSG's squad is really strong enough to beat Lille.PSG managed to lead 2-0 in the first half and kept the score difference in the second half and won 3-1 as a result of the match.

PSG is outstanding in their domestic league and there is no club that will be able to challenge them or be a threat to them from winning Ligue 1 constantly. This is because none of the team has the zeal to take over the title from PSG if not they will build a strong team that will be a rival to PSG.

PSG cannot win UCL which to me shows that they are weak if they are not playing with a club from their domestic league and this problem needs to be solved so that they can win UCL and become the strong club that they are claiming to be.
