French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Mate2237]

In as much as PSG can be player dependent at times, they sometimes still show resilience in the face of injuries, winning may.not be all they will be able  to achieve with all of this they have got to face at this time but they are mostly going  to make sure the replacement for him is one who will get them some fair results before  the return of demebele, they may not win all their games but they can be sure to not loose all and have a few draws and wins before they will have him back on pitch.

As it is now, this will be a difficult moment for PSG because haven't these two players out of their games it actually going to cause them a lot. Désiré Doué and Dembele are not ordinary players, they have done a lot for the club which is why they have to draw or lose some of their matches and it's going to be a big challenge for PSG. Because the accumulation of points they due gather from the beginning is what normally kept them at the top of the table every season. Now that they cannot be able to start the wins definitely a challenge will come from other teams that are aiming at the top for a very long time.

Even though PSG is definitely going to miss this players especially now that the champions League group stages is about to start I don't think that there is any course for concern because because PSG is a top club that can survive with or without any player because PSG as a team is not centered around any player.


There are good players that can step up to the game because this is an avenue for other players who has not been on the starting lineup in the position of these injured players.

This is a big blow to PSG because these two playes are part of their key players and for them to ne absent at this kind time due to injury might affect PSG performance. However, we are still in the group stage and whoever lags behind can put themselves back into the competition at the right time. PSG will surely go beyond the group stage.

Two important players in PSG's squad are Doue and Dembele there is no doubt. Due to the absence of these two players  in the squad, PSG's performance is  likely to be a bit unstable. But let's not forget that Luis enrique is a very experienced coach. Although  Doue and Dembele are important players in PSG's squad, PSG does not depend only on the performance of these two players. And this is their main strength. Also , in the previous Champions League, we saw that PSG's performance was very weak in the opening matches. However, PSG continued its winning streak, qualified for the playoffs, and finally won the Champions League title.

Mbappe was highly valued at Paris saint German he was the highest earn player in the club, he has also won many award in the league, Mbappe became famous when he went to Paris saint German but he was very unlucky he never won the UEFA champions league title with Paris saint German it was when he left to Madrid hoping to win the champions league title over there that was when Paris saint German won their first ever champions league title and they won it without their best player Kylie Mbappe I think he can still win it with Real madrid one day.

This is as funny as it gets and Mbappe has been mocked a lot about it. While he did amazing at Real Madrid too, it feels as if he has some curse. He failed to win with PSG when facing Real Madrid and Real Madrid won it a lot while he was at PSG. So he moved there, I know not just to win because it was his childhood dream to play there, but in the end they ended up failing to win with Real Madrid too, while PSG wins instead.

That is funny you have to agree to that, it's really funny and I think it's quite obvious that we are going to see this be the most basic obvious way to use it without a doubt. I get that things will not be easy, but can be done, Mbappe surely will win UCL with Real Madrid eventually given enough time.

[Webetcoins]

As for Ligue 1, I'm sure Enrique won't have any problems, but PSG also have to play Atalanta on September 18 and Barcelona on October 2. This is really bad for PSG.  As you said, They will play Gonçalo Ramos and Barcola as replacements, with Kang-in Lee as a substitute. Ramos actually has a primary position as a forward, but he's been overshadowed by Dembele, whose contribution has been extraordinary in the striker position. We'll just have to wait and see if Ramos can make the most of this opportunity.

It is true that for the league they won't face that much trouble, but when it comes to UCL they may actually have some trouble. Dembele and Doue are very important two players for this team, one of the most important ones, so missing them both would be an issue for them.

However, it's not "that" long, 1.5 months and 1 month isn't that much of a huge time and we can see them play soon enough, so they won't be missing that much time. That would be still start of the league give or take, and that would also be not that difficult, considering what they will be doing, and UCL will have just few games that's it. So they can be back right on time for them to keep doing a good job and keep getting the wins they need.

Mbappe will be with Real Madrid until June 2029, and his chances of winning the Champions League are clearly very high. While Mbappe hasn't had much luck so far, he's in the right team to win it one day. It's only a matter of time, as Real Madrid are traditionally title contenders every season.

Unlike PSG, which took decades to win the Champions League, Real Madrid has already won numerous Champions League titles. Real Madrid still has a good chance of winning it again, and I'm sure Mbappe will win it soon, even before 2029. This reminds me of Herry Kanne when he moved to the Bundesliga to win his first trophy in the club he supports, but when he moved, another club won it. Bayern Munich had been champions for over a decade, but when he joined, Bayern failed to defend their title. However, last season in the end he won the title with Bayern Munich.

Mbappe was unlucky last season because his former club won the Champions League without him, but I'm sure he can win it with Real Madrid someday.

Injury hit PSG's team so early, it's so sad that both of their key players are injured, this might not really affect them in the league since they have backup that can withstand other teams in the Ligue 1 but where it would have  affected them most is if those players doesn't return before the Champions League tournament begins which is possible since the players were sidelined for 4 weeks and 6 weeks to be out and by then they would have played their first game in the champions League, PSG will find it hard but they have a young team it is now left for the manager to do his best to ensure he doesn't miss out in the competition.

It's even better for PSG as their own injuries started early enough (Even though it is not a guarantee that there would be no injuries later in the season) but I believe that it will allow PSG to prepare better for the season against all odds. Most of their current injured players will return between now and October. So if they can manage to get through their first few matches in the champions League, they would have chance to go through the champions league like nothing happened when they finally return in October. Ousman Dembele  and Doue seems to be the most critical but would still return by October. For the league, they still have nothing to fear much, their bench is still capable.

[pewboy]

That is just the fact. PSG are the only strongest and more favorable to dominating the French league, mostly in every season, which we all know. They are the richest in the league, and it will not be easy for any of the other teams in the league to even be a threat to them. That is why most of the time, the Ligue 1 games are always boring, because there is not that much competition in the league, and this makes the game look so predictive and boring.
I don't think that PSG dominance in the French ligue 1 is only due to the fact that PSG is rich I will not agree with you on that because in today football there is financial fair play rule that applies,so a team can't go and bring money from another source of income to sponsor a team the truth is that other teams in this league are not just serious about competing and this is not only limited to the French ligue they don't even do well in European competitions.



Until the rest of the clubs start to think about winning a trophy and challenging PSG they will continue to be under the shadow of PSG because looking at the just concluded transfer market how many teams in the French ligue 1 actually bought top quality players.
I have also defended the same thing, I even gave the example that Mbappe was a Monaco player, and with Monaco he did not win Ligue 1 consecutively, he was not even famous at Monaco, and was sold to PSG where he was more valued and became popular, at PSG he was not valued because the club is rich, in my opinion

he was valued because PSG has managed to hire good coaches who knew how to guide Mbappe well, and that is what the other Ligue 1 teams are missing, they need to have good coaches and management that is committed to winning titles and not just thinking about selling players to have a lot of money and not doing anything relevant for the club
Mbappe was highly valued at Paris saint German he was the highest earn player in the club, he has also won many award in the league, Mbappe became famous when he went to Paris saint German but he was very unlucky he never won the UEFA champions league title with Paris saint German it was when he left to Madrid hoping to win the champions league title over there that was when Paris saint German won their first ever champions league title and they won it without their best player Kylie Mbappe I think he can still win it with Real madrid one day.

Yes, there are very rich clubs that do whatever they want. It's no use saying that the richest clubs don't always win. It's always been like this: whoever has the most money wins. It always has been and always will be. It's a fact and nothing can be done about it. Whether they won with Mbappe or not is another matter.

PSG never gave me any confidence or the feeling that they could win the Champions League. I think it was a great surprise for everyone, not just me, and we were pleasantly surprised. I have to say that without some players they would never have won it, but I'm happy for them that a great atmosphere has been created.

For the next few matches, PSG will rely on several existing players. At least in Ligue 1, Enrique remains optimistic about winning. And for the UCL, I'm sure Enrique remains optimistic about doing his best.

According to information from psgtalk, up front, Ramos will be in the middle, the CF, Kvaratskhelia on the left, and Barca will be on the right. Ramos has sometimes been questioned because his performance hasn't been up to the coach's expectations, but here, Enrique must ensure he performs at his best.

The midfield and defense are still pretty much the same, except in goalkeeper, they now have Lucas Chevalier, since Donnarumma has left for Man City.

The opening game of the week is Marseille - Lorient.

Such an easy one for Marseille right?    You would remember how embarrassing result Lorient got against Lille before the national break, 7-1.

1.35 odds for Marseille to win. Too low but normal. I would rather bet on -1.5 handicap on Marseille @1.88 for this game. I know Marseille didn't start well but I think this will be a big opportunity to boost some morale.

[Just Say]

Paris Saint-Germain Football Club may not be able to prepare well against all odds without these two players because in my opinion, these two players are the lungs of this French club. Their creativity and pace have impressed PSG in every match but we won't see Dembele and Doue on the field in PSG's first match of the new season's Champions League. So it can be assumed that their team's offensive momentum will be on the decline against the Italian club in the upcoming Champions League match. You are right that these two players are likely to recover from their injuries in October, but without them, Paris Saint-Germain may be playing in many important matches but it seems that the Doue may be able to participate in the Champions League match against Barcelona.

[SatoPrincess]

Paris Saint-Germain has truly stepped up in this regard. They've built a fantastic squad by relying on young players and, under manager Luis Enrique, won the Champions League. I can't see any team competing against them in the French league either. I believe they'll perform magnificently again this year. In a few years, Europe's biggest teams will be making transfer moves for Paris Saint-Germain's young players. This will translate into significant revenue for Paris Saint-Germain.

Even with the injuries facing PSG i still think that they have enough squad depth to face their opponents as they have proven to be the best over the years consecutively winning the league title and major european trophies.

Their replacement Barcola and Ramos are also good players who have played for the big stage as well and would blend into the squad with ease giving Paris Saint German an easy win as always.

They might have enough squad depth but I doubt whatever squad that will be fielded will be as good and reliable as a squad with Dembele and Doué however situations like this is how you test a managers IQ and a team’s mentality, hopefully Enrique will find a way around his squad to rotate and get good results.

There's no cause for alarm in Ligue 1 because even if these two players are absent throughout this season, PSG will definitely win the title again. In UCL, it will definitely affect the team performance because they will be playing with teams with the same qualities with theirs. I am not expecting much from PSG this season though.

If they give their full effort in Ligue 1, winning the Ligue 1 title is not a difficult task for PSG. But the problem is that PSG will try to win the Champions League title this season as well. And the most important thing is that most of PSG's opponents in the first round of the Champions League are very strong. Atalanta, Bayern Munich, Tottenham, Leverkusen, Sporting, Barcelona and Newcastle, which team will we call weak? Every team is very strong. No other team will face such a strong opponent in all matches. So getting through the first round is now a big challenge for PSG. So I will not be surprised at all if I see irregular performance from PSG in Ligue 1 matches.

[Pandu Geddon]

I know Marseille didn't start well but I think this will be a big opportunity to boost some morale.

Yes, a good match to boost the players' morale. Especially since they will face Madrid in the first match of the Champions League afterwards. Players need to gain confidence when facing a strong team like Madrid. Marseille must quickly improve their performance, they started the season not well enough. But they still have plenty of time to catch up, as the situation in the standings can change quickly.

Well both teams started the season on a poor fashion but their results so far are understandable, marseille lost to Rennes and Lyon away from home and Lorient have lost to Lille and Auxerre. This is a match that is important to both teams, they both need to stack up point from this early stages of the season.

I see a win for Marseille too, but I rather gamble on Over2.5. Marseille have conceded in all three games this season, so I won’t be surprised if they conceded in this game too.

Well I’m beginning to think also since I’m very sure marseille will win, I should just gamble on marseille to win and over 2.5.

Yes Dembele has a good impact on that team no doubt, but trust me he's absent won't change anything in that team so long as the French ligue 1 is concern, Paris Saint Germain has no match there, they're going to win any team that comes their, our only concern should be the champions League, because that's really where we will miss Dembele so I just pray for a quick recovery for him, though Paris Saint Germain will try to keep the winning moving but with him I think it will be kind of easy for them because his influence on the pitch is massive.

Well I want to believe you are trusting the abilities and strategic tactics of Enrique because ifbyou do not you will not be sounding like this but again you have to be sure that you will not get disappointed because  PSG to a good extent has got some dependency on these two and for vital games like the champions league where the competition is peaked, I only hope they are lucky or Enrique has got a perfect rotational strategy to fit in for their absence if not it will be evident how challenging it will be for PSG to get decent wins.

I am definitely something that is enough for them. They do not really need more to do anything, they just need to keep it going this way without dropping too much in quality. If they can do this, then they are going to do a lot better, so that's true.

I think it's clear that losing Doue and Dembele will be terrible for them and would prefer to have them both, but it's still not suddenly becoming a team that may lose towards some simpler teams during this week. They are strong enough all around to win all the games and won't get burned out that quickly. I am sure when the players come back, it's going to be even hard to fail the momentum they have. That is the most tricky situation, that will become the most important thing.
