French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Fuso.hp]

A home win would have seen Marseille level on points with PSG, but they were ultimately left six points behind. Marseille lost their 51st match against their opponents and are the team PSG have defeated the most in history. It was also the half where Marseille had the worst possession of the ball since the beginning of the season and could not play the controlling style that De Zerbi wanted.
PSG showed that the class gap between the two teams is still large.  Defeating Marseille easily, PSG affirmed their -ones in Ligue 1, firmly establishing their position at the top of the table. Based on the current squad, the tight schedule probably won't be difficult for coach Luis Enrique and his team.

Honestly, Marseille and PSG being same on points would have been more shocking than having a six point gap. While I agree Marseille has built a great roster so far, that doesn't mean they are as good as PSG at the moment and that is why we should be considering this to be normal and not a big difference at all. What we need to consider is, Marseille doesn't have the same amount of money, they are just looking at this from a new place point of view and that is why we are not seeing such a big result at the moment.

We need to realize PSG is spending way more than any other team in France, and there are only handful of teams all around the world that spends as much as PSG to build a team. While there are more important things than just money, when the gap is this big, money becomes the reason why a team is great. Obviously they could have been terrible like United after spending money too, but they didn't do those mistakes so they are pretty good.

PSG won by a big margin in their last match against Marseille and because of this win they moved to the top position of the points table and they managed to create a huge point gap with the second placed team in the points table Monaco. In the local league, PSG initially fell behind the other teams in the league, but now they have once again managed to occupy the number one position in the points table. PSG are currently 3 points clear of Monaco. PSG will definitely want to continue this winning streak in the upcoming matches and this winning streak will take them far above all other teams. It wouldn't be a surprise if PSG wins the domestic league title this season like in other seasons.

To be fair PSG definitely looks better than all the other teams, not a shock that they ended up being this good, and I believe beating Marseille isn't really a terrible situation at all.

I believe the best thing to do right now would be betting on them to win again, in a row, because that at least gives a good return. I know odds aren't really enticing, because PSG is the most dominant team in the league obviously, but even if it's a small ROI, at least you are getting a profit and that is why we are having such an important result.

This is why I believe they will be the champions again as well, neither Marseille nor Monaco is remotely close.

What those two teams can do is now just try to be consistent every season.

If you look at PSG's ability in Ligue 1 then it is only right for them to become a routine as a title winner. But how Luis Enrique's performance can bring PSG to achieve better results for the Champions League and most importantly they can get the trophy as the target they want to achieve. No one doubts PSG in Ligue 1 because their dominance in the league is almost unbeatable and now there are only one or two teams but there is no guarantee they will be consistent.

Although there is no guarantee for PSG to remain consistent in Ligue 1 this season, I still see PSG as a team that will dominate Ligue 1 and also as a candidate team for the Ligue 1 title this season through Luis Enrique's guidance. But for the Champions League, I personally still doubt PSG's ability because PSG's strength is still below the other teams so I am not really sure that PSG will be in the more important and sacred phases in the Champions League this season.

Yes, PSG certainly will not always show their consistency in every match, especially since this concerns long-term competition, of course at some point they will experience difficulties, either from mediocre clubs or competitors but what is clear is that no matter how inconsistent they are, Les Parisiens can still easily dominate League 1 every season because we know the competition in this league is not very competitive. Therefore, easy competition in this local league will affect their performance in the UCL competition which is at a different level, the fighting power of Enrique's squad must be increased because I believe they have it, especially because they are filled with talented players, it's just that their mentality is lacking.

I think for now there is no better and more consistent team in ligue 1 other than PSG, indeed at the moment several teams are starting to rise and enter the championship competition and of course it may put stronger pressure on PSG in winning the league this season, I think, us cant doubt how consistent PSG will be, when at this time we actually hope that teams like Marseille and Monaco can break their dominance in the league, I personally will not underestimate PSG in winning Ligue 1 but on the other hand, I hope there will be a team that is able to compete and break their dominance in so that way we will see more competitive competition happening, they have great potential to dominate Ligue 1 and even still happens although it is not Enrique who coaches PSG,  but indeed their great performance in the league is not in line with their performance in the UCL so far.

We know very well that PSG's dominance will be hard to break in Ligue 1, even though Enrique has not found a striker who is worthy as a center forward. we can see it in several matches they have played, Enrique always tries to rotate some of his players. starting from Asensio, Kang-in Lee even Dembele also briefly became a forward in the match against Marseille. yeah, apart from Goncalo Ramos' injury. it seems, there is something that is not in accordance with the wishes of the Spanish coach. he always tinkers with his strikers in the front line, maybe he wants to explore the individual abilities of his players or he really needs an ideal striker according to the style he wants. for midfielders and defenders, it seems that Enrique has suited his style. but, it seems that Enrique is not really satisfied with the front line. that's why, in the Champions League, PSG had difficulty in creating goals even though they always dominated the course of the match, excelling in ball possession. in the next match for Ligue 1, I'm sure PSG's chances will always be big whatever team they play against. and most likely, they have the potential to advance with a large points difference from their rival teams. in the Champions League, their performance is quite doubtful.

I don't know why people feel PSG is a strong team, is it because they are the best in Ligue 1. I don't see their performance improving, to me they're stagnant because there's no prove that they're improving like what people always say. PSG always win their league either with a weak coach or an average coach, but they cannot win UCL. This makes no difference, it's until they have won UCL, is when I will believe that they have improved.

The improvement is not only as a champion, but in a game and also a great victory is also called improvement, not only a matter of champion but how they develop towards champion first, PSG represents Paris every year because they are the strongest there every season they PSG come out as champions in the French league, but talking about the Champion they have not found it until now, but how their efforts and goals are very much expected when the development is there to be aimed at.

PSG has not yet smelled the Champion trophy but they PSG almost finish in a good place every year they often come out in the quarter-finals this shows they are able to compete but their mentality is lacking when they are at a certain time, and in my opinion PSG is one of the big football clubs they have a great desire even though until now it has not been unraveled but what they try every year is quite good.

But indeed PSG is the best team here in French football, but for the European competition level PSG cannot really be said to be the best and I agree that the opinion with the assessment that PSG has stagnant performance, all of these conditions have even happened since the era of Mbappe being the best player there and now they lost Mbappe, everything is still the same and what looks interesting is that PSG can still perform stably after Mbappe left. But if the assessment is based on winning the UCL then I think you will have difficulty gaining trust and acknowledging PSG because winning the UCL will not be as easy as winning the Domestic League, at least the fans are always satisfied with PSG achievements when winning Ligue 1.

Betting on the favourite team just like PSG always has low odds and since last season i have been notice for each matches PSG only have odds approximatelly 1.2 - 1.5 whoever the opponent they face in Ligue 1 so i am not sure if you were betting on them consistently for a reason it will be profitable because sometimes they got draw results or even lost

This is why I believe they will be the champions again as well, neither Marseille nor Monaco is remotely close.

What those two teams can do is now just try to be consistent every season.

PSG is too consistent compared to other teams in Ligue 1 even currently their status is still unbeated in this league and about Monaco and Marseille actually i expect these teams can being an strong contender for PSG but they did the same mistakes for every season that these teams always be failed to playing consistent so that's why i do believe PSG will be the champion of this season

To be honest, the only real thing in the French league is Paris Saint Germain. We saw this once again. Both Marseille and Monaco were defeated this week. Paris Saint Germain will be the team that will win the championship in the long league marathon. Their difference is to successfully carry it to the end in the long-term league. PSG is a great team and they have no rivals.

You can come up with a valid argument that in European competition PSG is not a strong team. But when it comes to the Ligue One, it remains the best team for now. The club has always hired the best coaches in the world. Coaches like Luis Enrique, Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti have all managed the French side and we cannot refer to them as average coaches. As long as clubs in the French League keep allowing PSG to win the Ligue One, they will always be referred to as a strong team in France.

Yes I agree with you, at the domestic level they are the best and I think I don't need to mention any more reasons to say they are the best team in Ligue 1. However, their status will change when they are in the European competition, precisely in the Champions League which they always participate in. In the Champions League they are just an ordinary team, even though they have a very expensive squad, but that does not make them better. No team can have all the advantages they have, one of which is from the financial side. With a very good financial side, it makes them at the highest level because there is no other team with the same finances as them.

PSG have a very big ambition to be able to win the UCL so far, so they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to be able to gather star players in their squad, but precisely with a very great squad they are still not able to conquer the UCL until now, in contrast to Ligue 1 which they have continued to dominate so far, but this dominance does not always reflect their performance in the UCL which is more competitive so far,  If you look at the squad and the coach they previously, of course PSG have great potential to win the UCL, but I think they don't have the mentality and also the ability to face strong pressure in the UCL and that is one of the main reasons they have failed so far in my opinion.

Have Paris Saint Germaine been stagnant with their performances? I'll want to agree with that assertion if you're referring to their performances in the UEFA Champions League competition but in the French league, they've been the dominant team. I understand that a lot of us wants to see Paris Saint Germaine extend their domestic dominance to Europe and since it's no longer Luis Enrique's first season with the club, there's no excuse to their poor outings in Europe again but I feel we should reduce our expectations and see the club's final performance in Europe at the end of the season.

Honestly, zero competition in France ligue one and it's mainly consider as the farmer's league because no opposition capable of nailing them down. Paris Saint-Germain doesn't seem to have any competitive opponents this season because they're clinched first on the league table with 23 points in 9 games played this season. This is impressive stats from Les Parisiens and they're up and running for the outstanding stats of the season, Luis Enrique will make sure that happens in good shape under his management. These teams can't stop or serve as hurdles for PSG because their weaknesses have been easily spotted out.

The fact is that PSG always have a good coach, I might be surprised if you think Luis Erique is an average coach or a weak coach like that. About PSG in the Champions League, I have said that PSG is a weak team there, no matter how far PSG is able to qualify in the Champions League, but in the end PSG will still fail in the Champions League. But about the results that PSG has in Ligue 1, it is clear that PSG is the best team, the strongest and the team that is consistent with good dominance from season to season in Ligue 1. Because after all,  no team is able to defend its trophy title when the team becomes weak and thus, of course PSG is the strongest and best team in Ligue 1, because PSG managed to defend its trophy title in a row.

For me PSG is a competitive team, also in the Champions League, they always dominate possession of the ball from the three matches they played including the match against Arsenal. from the three matches they played, PSG always had the upper hand in terms of total shots and even from the 3 matches there were always shots that hit the goal. Enrique is an experienced coach, he tries in every way to maximize his team including rotating some of his players especially the center forwards. we can conclude, if the available players do not match the criteria of this Spanish coach. PSG's current problem is a well-established and mature goal scoring machine, especially for the Champions League. there were many opportunities from the 3 matches they played, but the PSG players were unable to convert them into many goals. well, I am very sure that this PSG coach knows very well the problems in his squad. if Osimhen was brought in in the transfer window yesterday, I am sure PSG would be very sharp. not for Lique 1 but the Champions League. in this competition, Enrique is trying to dismantle his center forwards.  Kang-in Lee was ultimately used in the Champions League, the results were still not optimal. PSG would be more interesting if they had a player as a Target Men who could be relied on in their squad, because I am sure they will be able to compete in the Champions League. At least for now, the target is how to get through the group stage. For Ligue 1 lately, Enrique has been more experimenting to rotate some of his players. The results, he will apply in the Champions League. Well, the winter transfer window will be a hunt for a pure striker that PSG will bring to the Parc des Princes.

The number of teams competing for the title in Ligue 1 is very few. And this is why Ligue 1 is not a very competitive league. If PSG is able to have a stable performance then the PSG team can easily become the champions of Ligue 1. This is not a difficult task for PSG.

A few big clubs like Lille, Marseille and Monaco are in Ligue 1. However, no club owner is willing to prepare large funds for the purchase of players. Since Ligue 1 clubs have very few star players. And the squad isn't that strong either. So not many clubs compete for the title. While Monaco and Marseille have made good starts this season, these two teams have fallen far behind at the moment.

[TelolettOm]

We know very well that PSG's dominance will be hard to break in Ligue 1, even though Enrique has not found a striker who is worthy as a center forward. we can see it in several matches they have played, Enrique always tries to rotate some of his players. starting from Asensio, Kang-in Lee even Dembele also briefly became a forward in the match against Marseille.

It makes sense, indeed so far, PSG's dominance this month is not as tight and big as previous seasons. At least if we look at the number of points, Monaco can compete with it. and if we look at the goals, the players from Marseille can also compete with it. Fortunately, PSG still remains in the first standing. But this makes the French Ligue 1 even more interesting, which hopefully will not be as boring as previous seasons.

And for the competition with Marseille, which has recently been quite popular, PSG with Enrique is still above Marseille.

Of course PSG has become a little difficult because last season relying on star players and this season PSG relies more on teamwork that gives a little difficulty in competing with other teams. On the one hand other teams such as Monaco and Marseille will certainly take advantage of this situation to try to break the dominance of PSG.
Unfortunately Monaco and Marseille have not been able to break the dominance because PSG has Enrique who had had previous experience to stabilize team performance without star players.

This kind of competition is expected by League 1 fans to be able to see competitive competition between teams and provide a sensation of tension that is difficult to miss.
