French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Minecache]

What makes me praise PSG's performance this season is the compactness in teamwork. Even no player is privileged in the team but all get the same trust. That is a big change that shows better performance this season. A big score victory has proven their toughness without relying on the performance of a player. Luis Enrique certainly has to prove the real strength that PSG has this season, both in the Champions League and in the domestic league. With this great progress, of course PSG is still very much favored to continue to dominate Ligue 1 this season.

In addition to still being able to dominate Ligue 1 this season, PSG can also be a tough opponent in the Champions League if they continue to consistently play better without relying on one of the players in their squad. Because the opponents in the Champions League are certainly not careless opponents and also have toughness so PSG is also expected to be able to overcome this this season with the best direction from Luis Enrique. Because PSG's proof in Ligue 1 is actually more than enough and now it's time for PSG to make a more valid proof in the UCL this season.

I would say the way PSG have performed so well so far, if this trend continues, the team can do well in the Champions League this season. One important thing is that while this team has been dependent on Mbappe in the last few seasons, this season the team is not dependent on any particular player. PSG is now stronger as a team. This is why PSG is able to consistently perform well.

Luis Enrique managed to change the overall situation of PSG. PSG has managed to mitigate the weaknesses within the squad to a great extent. The team scored 13 goals in 3 matches and conceded 2 goals. So far we haven't found any weaknesses in PSG's squad. But looking forward to see how this team performs in the long run.

Marseille was quite good at the beginning of the season with all the new things this season, but it is necessary to think that their consistency will continue to be in a good enough situation, where they also often steal goals in matches and that makes me less sure whether he will continue to impress fans.

Regarding the record with PSG is bad I think if PSG continues in the current state and they meet again it will not change and the record is even worse because it can not beat PSG at home again, it will happen, Luis Enrique really gets his light back to be able to dominate League 1 this season.

PSG will play Marseille at the end of October, and until then they will try to be as close to PSG as possible. But despite a good game, they have already lost points in the match with Reims, so who knows what else can happen during this time. Marseille can afford to fully focus on Ligue 1, but I am not sure that this will help them to compete with PSG, if they are already losing points even without a face-to-face confrontation. And the match with Lille showed that they will not be able to become worthy opponents for them either, despite the away match it was an easy victory for PSG.

[MAAManda]

I think Lille is the one that is doing great this season and will do probably very good. The last game was against PSG and losing to PSG is nothing big deal, every team loses to them anyway, but Lille ended up with a win over the last two games before that.

There is a potential that they could do fine this season, I have seen them on UCL qualifiers too and they look like a very good team, it doesn't matter how we are dealing with this situation, it just looks like we are dealing with a team that is doing quite amazingly, and that's the most important part. I believe that betting on Lille could make some good profits, it would be a very good choice and I will do that for a few more weeks and see if they are actually as good as I think they are.

When talking about performance, there are many clubs that are better than Lille so far, they're Marseille, Nantes, Lens and Monaco. If we compare Lille's performance this season and last season, I saw they were much better last season, occupying fourth place in the standings. IDK how you can judge Lille this season, none of them have been able to impress me with their performances so far.

[HajiBagi]

Marseille are one of the teams that impress me so far after leaving three weeks behind. It looks like De Zerbi has made a quite positive impact on the team success.    7 points in 3 games is really good.

They score lots of goals easily. They only have a conceding problem at the same time. But it isn't an issue that can't be solved with this determination. Apart from that it wouldn't turn into a serious problem as long as they are this capable in the attacking line. I want to see how they perform against PSG as well. It is in Round 9 and a home game for Marseille. They can't beat PSG home in the Ligue 1 since 2011. It is a huge record. 

Considering the way PSG play this season, the record might get bigger.

Marseille are trying their best to challenge PSG but they can't challenge PSG to win the league title this season, PSG have been in a good performance since the beginning of the league and with the way they are playing you will know that PSG can win the league title without Mbappe when Mbappe leaves PSG I was like the team will struggle to defeat some team but after seeing the squad of PSG I believe that the team has to make a good signing, PSG  know how to sign player's and the team did not care of sending any amount to buy a player, all the team care is to have good players in the team.

The only trophy PSG doesn't know how to win is the champion league, PSG doesn't have the winning mentality in champion if not with the squad PSG used to have every season the team should be able to win a trophy, although the league just started and we can't just judge any team performance for now if we look at the beginning of some team's we all will know that they capable of winning a trophy this season.

Regarding the very stable performance, only PSG, but if we talk about other teams, it is actually difficult to say which team other than PSG has a very stable performance. Lille may be said to be stable but this is just the beginning of the season which cannot guarantee that at the end of the season Lille can remain consistent. However, for me, the other team that looks more convincing is Monaco, which always gives its best performance even though it always fails to compete with PSG, but Monaco is always a positive view for me. Marseille can be one of the stable teams but sometimes it makes me worried when betting on this team. Because last season Marseille made us all worried when they started the season a little badly but got better in the second half of last season.

After international break i found one interesting match on week 4 and it is Lens vs Lyon and i know Lyon start is not too impressive this season because they had just gets 2 loses from 3 matches and last week Lyon also have to hard struggling to gets the winning result from Strasbourg and i think the match against Lens could be hard match for Lyon because they have poor records while against Lens and in the last 5 meeting from Lens we can see Lyon only can able to gets 1 win



Besides that if we see based on the statistics for both teams i can see Lyon had a problem with their defense because until week 3 Lyon have conceded 8 goals and compared to them Lens performance is quite stable because they only conceded 1 goal from strong team Monaco and for this match my prediction Lyon will be lost again

Lens is clearly more favored in this match. They will play at home and Lens is unbeaten when facing Lyon. The best result might be a draw, it depends on how prepared the Lens players are. If they make a mistake, it is not impossible for Lyon to take advantage.
I have not seen the Odds of this match to place a bet, or maybe it is not available yet. Now all leagues are on an international break. The bets might switch to the national team match.

The Lyon team is not in good form. Lyon's performances have been erratic in recent seasons and the team is failing to perform well this season as well. Despite winning the last match, the team lost their previous two matches against Reims and Monaco. The performance of squad players is not regular which is their main weakness.

The Lens team is unbeaten in any of the three matches. Won two and drew one. Moreover, the match against Lyon is Lens' home match. Players will also be confident. The Lens team is ahead in the match between these two teams. Lens has won 3 matches and lost 1 match in the last 5 meetings. Therefore, considering all aspects, Lens team is considered as favorite in this match.

I think it doesn't need to wait until half of the season to determine the winner. The winner will be PSG. They recorded impressive statistics from the last three games. They outperform their opponents like nothing. Also, the odds are favoring them to win the competition.



None are able to compete with PSG now. Lille and Monaco can only compete for the UCL spot. They're too far behind compared to PSG. Betting on PSG is always a guaranteed win.

Ligue 1 teams are not that strong this season except PSG. However, teams such as Monaco, Marseille and Lille have battled PSG for the title in the past. But this season these teams are not strong enough. And their performances have been erratic at the start of the season. Apart from PSG, no other team has won three matches yet. However, Marseille, Lens and Monaco are still unbeaten. And the Lille team won two and lost against PSG.

PSG's management is very rich so they can spend a lot of money and build a strong squad. No other team in Ligue 1 spends as much money and builds a strong squad as PSG. This is why we see PSG dominate every season. PSG easily won the Ligue 1 title.

Not only now the PSG be favorite to win Ligue 1 even before the league starts, they have become a strong candidate to become champions this season, so I think there is nothing surprising about their current statistics including consecutive wins at the start of the season, PSG has a squad that is very capable and they are still better than the current rival teams, the quality of the squad and also the financial differences have been a strength for PSG to be able  their to easily win Ligue 1, but unfortunately the greatness that PSG have in Ligue 1 is not comparable to their performance and mentality in the Champions League which very bad so far, to be honest if we talk about Ligue 1 of course we can't deny that they are the strongest candidate to be champhionsip, while other teams are currently only competing for a place in the UCL, but for this season Champions League, I personally don't expect much from PSG.

Every teams will drop points at certain stages during the season, it has happened to Marseille at this beginning stage of the season, and it could happen to PSG at any time too. Unless they are going to play unbeaten in the league this season, which I think it's very unlikely. What Marseille have to do is to make sure that the gap between them and PSG is not that wide, so that when PSG will start having a difficult time in the season they will have the opportunity to close the gap between them. There is still a lot of games to play and Marseille should just focus on their games. PSG will definitely drop points especially when the Champions league starts. That's the time that Marseille will use and catch up with them. Everyone knows that PSG wants to win the Champions league at all cost, so I believe they will prioritize winning the champoins league than the league title.

All the clubs you have listed is far better than Lille on this season, though for now they are not playing bad because the reason why they lost one of there three matches is because of how good PSG is so there was no way they would have win that match because PSG has so many talented players far more than Lille so the wining was already expected, though I realize that they still have a good chance against Monaco and lens because is just a point different, so there next match should be very important for them and most be taking very serious because if they win and Monaco and lens draws on there matches it gives them another opportunity on the table, so it seems Lille's hope of going up a bit is not totally lost but however it all depends on them.

I also agree with what you said because I also do not consider it a surprise or an extraordinary achievement if PSG can still win this season in Ligue 1 because it has been predicted since the beginning before this season started. And of course it has a logical reason from some of the facts you said where PSG is still far superior in squad with its rivals and also financially with other teams in Ligue 1 so they can easily bring in the players they want. But for its achievements in the Champions League it is clearly still not proven because PSG is a tough team that has not yet felt the Champions League trophy until now.
