French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

One of the interesting matches of the day in the French Ligue 1 will be played between Paris Saint Germain and Brest. Paris Saint Germain won 3 wins in their first 3 games in the league under Luis Enrique. They have scored 13 goals and conceded only 2 goals in their 3 league games. They had a great start to the season. After Mbappe's departure, I didn't think they could make such a start, so these results are a bit of a surprise for me. On the other hand, Brest had a very bad start to the season. They lost their first two games in the league. In their last game they beat Saint Etienne 4-0. But this team, which got a Champions League ticket last season, had a bad start in the league. I'll bet over 2.5 goals in this match.

[Lida93]

Without Kylian Mbappe, PSG still has no problems. PSG has won all 3 matches in Ligue 1 this season. Not only that, PSG also won the legal battle against Mbappe when the player accused him of not paying 46 million pounds in salary and bonuses. PSG is the only team to have an unbeaten record in Ligue 1 this season. However, PSG still has to maintain this form because Marseille, Nantes, Monaco, Lens, Lille, and Le Havre are not too far behind.
PSG will face Brest in round 4 of Ligue 1 2024/25. PSG needs to beat Brest to increase the points gap. Compared to PSG, Brest is considered much weaker. I believe it will be an easy victory for Luis Enrique's army.

Frankly, I can't think of a team in France that can beat Paris Saint-Germain. They are the unbeaten armada of France. France is a football league they won. I can't see a team that can stand up to them in this regard because their president is very rich. Even though Mbappé left the team, they still have extraordinary players. With this squad, they can easily win the French cup and the French league.

Not at the moment though, but it still doesn't mean that PSG will be unbeaten this season, the club has been making some tremendous investments over the years bringing in the best players and coaches which other clubs can't afford and to an extent this has been one of the edges they have over the other clubs in the league1 and this may linger until some of these other clubs probably assume the same financial status that PSG are currently enjoying at the moment but until then, PSG may never experience any strong rivalry.

But this team, which got a Champions League ticket last season, had a bad start in the league. I'll bet over 2.5 goals in this match.

PSG so far is still performing quite perfectly without defeat from the 3 matches they have played and making PSG currently still firmly ranked above the ligue 1 standings, in contrast to PSG, Brest who last season performed impressively, this season actually started the season with two consecutive defeats and 1 win so that they are in the 12th tier of the ligue 1 standings,  when last season Brest surprised us but they still haven't been able to beat PSG especially now when they are in bad shape in the league, so I think it will be difficult for Brest to get points from PSG later, the match will start in less than two hours but to be honest I personally don't see the match will be an exciting match considering the quality and performance of the two teams currently have a far comparison.

In the other match that is currently being played today, Monaco has a quick lead over its opponent Auxerre with a score of 0-2,Monaco who played very impressively were able to appear pressing from the start of the match and without waiting long they managed to score in the 8th minute through Kehrer and also Vanderson in the 25th minute, the match between Auxerre vs Monaco has entered the 44rd minute and seeing Monaco dominance over Auxerre in the match it seems that their will be able to maintain their advantage until the end of the match later.

And Lille lost, once again. They started the season two for two, and also reached to UCL as well, everyone thought they were having a great season, and while they did lose to PSG, everyone said that one was normal and everyone could lose to PSG and the gap was great, and yet now they lost once again.

This time they lost to Saint Ettiene, and that is not a team that any good team could lose to, which shows that their run was hanging on a thread and they are not looking good at all.

I would say it was about PSG game and morale, but the reality is that international break happened so I am not really seeing how those two could be connected to each other, feels like that could be totally irrelevant situation without a doubt.

In my opinion, what is failing are the constant changes that the coach has been making in each game. He played against Angers and PSG and put in a formation that in my opinion gave good results, he beat Angers and although he lost to PSG, they still managed to score 1 goal. But strangely he changed the formation in the game against Saint Ettiene, I don't know if this was to save players because they have a game in the Champions League. But it is clear that this season they are not doing well and will have a lot of difficulty finishing at the top of the table.


PSG is having a hard time winning, it's funny that they are playing against a weak opponent. Maybe this is a consequence of international games. Maybe the PSG players are tired. Anyway, there are still 45 minutes left in the game, PSG can still win the game.

But this team, which got a Champions League ticket last season, had a bad start in the league. I'll bet over 2.5 goals in this match.

Whatever the reason, I am personally very confident about PSG being very likely to win in the home match against Brest. With the confidence I have, I also bet with the PSG -1.5 asian handicap option butyes,  even though PSG is playing at home, it doesn't seem easy for PSG to win with a big score in this match. Because after all, the fact is that Brest  managed to score first through a penalty kick successfully executed by Del Castillo in the 29th minute. But even so, I still believe PSG will be able to turn things around and sure enough, in the 42nd minute Dembele managed to score a goal, and closed the first half with a 1-1 draw.

But at least, if I consider from previous matches that PSG is still able to make another goal in the second half until the match approaches the end. Thus, I still believe PSG will still be able to make more goals in the second half because after all, PSG still has high dominance in this match, so PSG still has a great chance to make more goals.

Yep, the international break may have a little negative impact on players who defend their respective countries and their physical condition will definitely be a little weaker. Actually, PSG often put pressure but just lack focus to score. There were so many very good opportunities but often failed to score. Brest should not be a tough opponent and initially it annoyed me when PSG gave Brest 1 chance to score from a penalty kick.
I hope at least PSG can score 2 more goals or maybe stick with a draw so as not to lose points and not be embarrassed at home.
Hopefully I don't lose the odds @2 that I have chosen in this match.

Edit : Oh shit, as I was writing this reply Fabian Ruiz and Dembele scored 2 goals in a short space of time. This is absolutely insane.

[LGD2Business]

Despite falling behind, PSG managed to win. They actually struggled until halfway through the second half, but then the goals came one after the other. Ousmane Dembele was the star of the match with two goals. Fabian Ruiz is also having a good scoring season. Brest are a bit far from last year's image. They won't reach very high positions this year. PSG, on the other hand, looks like they will be champions again. They continue without a loss and win by playing well. Maybe Marseille and Monaco can stay in the race with them, but it's not easy to keep it until the last moment.

[Juse14]

................

Marseille was not as good as Monaco or Brest but still, they are stronger than other teams in the French league but I think in this season we are going to see a much better performance from Marseille compared to the last season. There were even some rumors about Arabs buying Marseille and hiring some superstar players for them but this didn't happen however they are still strong and they are currently in the second place of the table with the same points as Nantes, Monaco, and Lens. One reason for Marseille to have this good performance in this season was Greenwood player of this team and since he had drama in Manchester United have had to play for Marseille and got this team to improve.

Marseille do have great potential this season, although in terms of consistency they are not on the same line as Monaco or Brest. However, it looks more solid than last season for them to have this as a start. Although the rumors about being bought by Arab parties and recruiting star players did not materialize, they still show enough strength in the league. Their place is at the level of big teams like Nantes, Monaco, and Lens; this means they are still in the running at the top. Greenwood's presence, despite being controversial, seems to have a positive effect on the team and helps improve Marseille's performance on the field.

And, the presence of Greenwood does bring a new dynamic to Marseille. Coming with a heavy background at Manchester United, he seems able to adapt well and make a positive contribution to the team.

[rahmad2nd]

Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille again won full points over their opponents, both teams are quite productive in terms of scoring goals. Speaking of Marseille, De Zerbi's team again won full points over their opponent Nice. Although in this match Greenwood did not play optimally, their loan striker, Neal Maupay, was able to prove that he can be relied on as the main striker in De Zerbi's squad. Now, Marseille is only two points behind Paris Saint-Germain. Meanwhile, PSG, as we discussed earlier, Brest is not a difficult opponent for them. Although they were left behind in the 29th minute through a penalty, Dembele was able to equalize in the 42nd minute. In this match, Dembele became Man of the Match by scoring two goals, and his performance was very impressive. But honestly I'm still confused, Enrique often fiddles with his midfielders. I mean, he often changes the position of his players. Even so, PSG continues to advance with a positive trend in four matches. btw, besides that AS Monaco is also quite good in its four matches.  they have the same points as Marseille, it seems that AS Manaco has the potential to shift Marseille's position if the team coached by De Zerbi's squad loses or plays underperform. by the way, even without Mbappe in Lique 1, the French League still has its own appeal even though it is not like other big leagues.

[Weawant]

Not at the moment though, but it still doesn't mean that PSG will be unbeaten this season, the club has been making some tremendous investments over the years bringing in the best players and coaches which other clubs can't afford and to an extent this has been one of the edges they have over the other clubs in the league1 and this may linger until some of these other clubs probably assume the same financial status that PSG are currently enjoying at the moment but until then, PSG may never experience any strong rivalry.

In the ligue 1 they are actually looking like it, but in other leagues may the champions League, they may not get there. So far so good PSG has been outstanding amongst others in the ligue 1 , it's true that they have invested a whole lot to be able to maintain this current form and status they are now but there have been some work also put in by the players to have gotten them to this point too. The point where that had to let go of mbappe got many thinking but now it's a balance situation even tho they are yet to get a perfect replacement they aren't doing any bad either.

[TelolettOm]

Surprising;  LOSC lost to St-Ettiene with a score of 1 - 0. And even though LOSC pressed hard and dominated the match, they could not penetrate their opponent's defense properly.

LOSC could not take advantage of the advantages they had and they could not be creative in building attacks, on the other hand ST-Etienne could also defend very well so that they could ward off attacks launched by LOSC. favored to win. I'm sure many people lose their bets, and what's annoying is when making a parlay bet that has to be lost because of one match. 

Indeed, so many missed events happened there. Lille even looked bad when hit by a counter attack from ST-ettiene. Well, seriously, the coach must make more appropriate tactics again in the next task in order to make their attacking line be more confident and sharper enough. And also the defenders, well...

Marseille do have great potential this season, although in terms of consistency they are not on the same line as Monaco or Brest. However, it looks more solid than last season for them to have this as a start.

Really, they did very well. Luckily they had scored 2 goals by Maupay and also Henrique. So when Cornelius got the second yellow card in the 74th minute, the De Zerbi immediately changed their tactic to be more defensive. Because after all, it was too risky to keep attacking, while one of their defenders must be out because of 2 yellow cards, and 2 other defenders had also gotten a yellow card for each. However, they managed not to concede a goal at all until the final whistle was blown.

We can only hope that Ligue 1 is eyed by investors from the Middle East as a promising business field, so that they are willing to acquire one of the clubs, which in the end can provide an equal opponent for PSG. In the meantime, no contestant is able to match the strength of Luis Enrique squad, we can see that losing Mbappe also does not cause them any problems at all. Indeed, difficulties can occur when they play in the Champions League, but in Ligue 1 they are the real rulers. It takes great luck for teams like Monaco and Marseille to win the trophy, they must appear undefeated throughout the season like Leverkusen, because expecting PSG to experience a slight decline in performance is impossible. In my opinion, Girona will not make PSG stumble, because the La Liga representative is a newcomer to the Champions League.

~snip~

For today's match I tried to bet on the following option with odds @2.23
I think Marseille and PSG are in their best form recently so I don't hesitate to bet on them.

Marseille will play against Nice and from this match it shows that Marseille is the favorite, they also got 2 wins with 1 draw in 3 matches that Marseille has played before.
For PSG itself they will play against Brest and of course whoever the person is must choose PSG to get the win, in those two matches I will also choose the same option for betting.

In the end the results were in accordance with my expectations Marseille and PSG were able to play very well and get 3 full points in today's match Marseille and PSG seemed to play more dominantly, Marseille themselves scored 2 goals against Nice without reply even though they got a red card in the 74th minute they were not discouraged and tried to maintain the defense so that the opposing club could not break through their defense and it went well while PSG themselves were able to score 3 goals and Brest were only able to reply with 1 goal.

There are other matches that are quite interesting and that is Auxerre vs Monaco, Nantes vs Reims because so far Monaco and Nantes can still play very well and adding both of them to the betting slip is still quite good in the chances of winning.
I will try to enter two team and make slip with 4 teams in total, hopefully all of them can play well and end as expected.

You seem to be a little more likely to find luck because the temporary results of Marseille, PSG and Monaco have won the match and are just waiting for the Nantes match against Reims tonight, hopefully your bet wins

Well, they may not have that dominant place in the champions league as they do in their domestic league and the reason is obvious that they have their equals over there at that level of competition nevertheless with each season they still make the top five list of favourites to win the champions league trophy. Also, it's a known fact that the personal efforts of the players also  contributed to that feat and giving their collective best they have been able to fill in that vacuum closely that would have been felt in the absence of Mbappe who many of us were seeing as the superhero of the club.

Although PSG has managed to dominate ligue 1 but it does not mean that they can continue to win in ligue 1, sooner or later PSG will definitely get a defeat but I think the defeat may no longer affect PSGposition in the ligue 1 standings and does not affect their chances on winning trophies ligue 1, PSG ambition to become the best team in the world is their reason to bring in many star players so far,  but what they hoped for was not able to get even though star players and great coaches continued to rotate at PSG so far, winning Ligue 1 is not their top priorit in my opinion because it is indeed a competition that is too easy for them to continue to win the Ligue 1 trophy so far, So to prove that PSG is a big team, of course they must get the Champions League trophy and that's why the unlimited ambition of PSG owners forces them to continue to bring in many star players so far, PSG greatness in Ligue 1 has no effect at all on their performance in the Champions League and I think the competition that is too easy in Ligue 1 actually makes their mentality in the Champions League so far too soft.

[Furious 7]

LOSC could not take advantage of the advantages they had and they could not be creative in building attacks, on the other hand ST-Etienne could also defend very well so that they could ward off attacks launched by LOSC. St-Etienne was surprising because they could create a quick goal in the 6th minute, I think they are clear with that strategy. They tried to find a goal very quickly and after that they could play more defensively to maintain their advantage. Surely we are all surprised by what LOSC achieved in this match, because before the match they were the team that was very favored to win. I'm sure many people lose their bets, and what's annoying is when making a parlay bet that has to be lost because of one match. 

The quick goal scored by Cafaro in the 6th minute was quite surprising and made St. Etienne make a tactical move with a defensive scheme that clearly made Lille inconvenient in this match.
Actually, Lille's game in this match was very good and indeed this was proven by the statistics they showed where even their ball possession was more than 70 percent in this match.

But because of the unexpected fast goal and the good defense of St. Etienne in this match made Lille unable to do much and only had to accept defeat even with very good dominance.
This is the second consecutive defeat for Lille and of course this is not too good if it continues to be allowed because after all, with consecutive defeats in the last 2 weeks this can disrupt their stability and mentality which in turn this can interfere with future performance.

It seems that Mbappe's absence is not felt in the league. Maybe they will feel this absence in the UCL matches, but Mbappe did not start brightly in Real Madrid either. It seems like he did not make that big of an impact. Of course, Paris can bring in players to replace him. The French league is suitable for this. I am really curious about PSG in the UCL matches. I wonder how successful they can be.

[Pokapoka124]

And Lille lost, once again. They started the season two for two, and also reached to UCL as well, everyone thought they were having a great season, and while they did lose to PSG, everyone said that one was normal and everyone could lose to PSG and the gap was great, and yet now they lost once again.

This time they lost to Saint Ettiene, and that is not a team that any good team could lose to, which shows that their run was hanging on a thread and they are not looking good at all.

I would say it was about PSG game and morale, but the reality is that international break happened so I am not really seeing how those two could be connected to each other, feels like that could be totally irrelevant situation without a doubt.

Lille have been inconsistent this season. They started well but failed to maintain full focus until the end. Lille won the match by every stat except on goal as they failed to convert from 17 attempts and conceded a goal in the early six minutes to lose the game. Lille have to work on their finishing, I think that’s their major problem cause when you fail to convert your chances you are already on the path of losses.

Yep, the international break may have a little negative impact on players who defend their respective countries and their physical condition will definitely be a little weaker. Actually, PSG often put pressure but just lack focus to score. There were so many very good opportunities but often failed to score. Brest should not be a tough opponent and initially it annoyed me when PSG gave Brest 1 chance to score from a penalty kick.

Hopefully I don't lose the odds @2 that I have chosen in this match.

Edit : Oh shit, as I was writing this reply Fabian Ruiz and Dembele scored 2 goals in a short space of time. This is absolutely insane.

When a hero disappears, another hero always appears. This seems to be the case with PSG, where they had Mbappe as the center of attention, the hero of the club. But now Ousmane Dembélé has come to occupy the hero's vacant place. Now Ousmane Dembélé is becoming the hero of PSG. When he scored a goal, the fans were chanting his name. I am surprised to see that PSG is playing much better without Mbappe. While Real Madrid, which has Mbappe, is not playing well.



For now the league is competitive, we will see if it remains that way until the last round.


Olympique 2 - 0 Nice

A great win for Olympique who, despite playing with 10 men since the 75th minute, did not concede a single goal. This shows that Nice is no longer the same team it was at the start of last season. The good defense that Nice had at the start of last season is gone. Now they will fight to avoid relegation or finish in positions 10 to 15.

Auxerre 0 - 3 Monaco

Monaco are having a good start to the season, with 4 games without a single defeat and only 1 goal conceded. In their next game they will play against Barcelona, ​​in the European Champions League.
