French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Velvet78]

Let's see whether both Paris teams close the week with a win. I think PSG won't lose against Lille away. Because the thing is that Lille don't have a good form recently.

2 losses in a row in the league against Lyon and Lens. Yeah maybe they won a tough game against Roma in the Europa League after that. But I wouldn't still trust them yet.

But if you find it risky to bet on PSG considering they lost to Marseille away earlier, maybe BTTS might be another good choice. 1.67 odds given for it.

Paris FC appears to be a team aiming to compete in European competitions, far from relegation. They've already won a few matches and are leading in this one.

They beat Metz, the last team in Ligue1, Brest and Lorient, which is a team that was promoted from the second division this year.
Hardly anything remarkable, if they will avoid relegation as I'm in no way considering them finishing in the first half at the end of the season, it will be just because the team at the bottom are just worse than worst, not because FC is something beyond mediocre.

Remember they still got trashed by Marseille and also beaten by Angers, a team with just 5 points after 6 matches.

Two goals in the first half for Paris FC, taking up a comfortable lead in this game means that Paris FC is now more comfortable playing in the ligue 1. I was thinking that Paris FC was going to struggle in the league when they gained promotion but after some games Paris FC is good to go. Paris Fc plan should be to escape relegation so picking up an early points like this will be a good one.

They won this game with the two goals, you are very correct with the fact that they should try focusing on escaping relegation so they do not go back  to their former state and so far they have been trying in the direction  that looks like  they are most likely going  to wok towards staying in the Ligue 1 moving forward, I love their approach and the kind of mentality they are using approach teams despite them just been promoted, if they make it through two seasons consistently with this mentality, they could come up really good and tough.

Both Barcelona and PSG are in very good form now. Both are at the top of their league table. And both have won in the first match of the Champions league. It is difficult to make predictions about this match. Because Barcelona and PSG are both very strong  teams. The chances of winning are equal for both. But the  match is Barcelona's home match. Barcelona can also become even stronger at home. On the other hand , PSG coach Luis Enrique is well aware of barcelona's strength. So there is no doubt that the match will be very exciting.

It will be a very interesting game to see, seeing both team in their very best form against each other, I will want to see how the top talented young players from both teams are going to be able contend each other and get good results at the end of the game, I would want to say that Barcelona is mostly going to win but PSG has got the title to defend so they will be putting in all of their best.

Barcelona and PSG are currently two strong teams and these two strong teams will play against each other today in the Champions League match. Today's match will prove which team is stronger and which team is a little weaker than the team above. Barcelona has some important players with injury problems, we can see the same in the case of PSG. Raphinha will not be able to play against PSG due to his injury, on the other hand, Ousmane Dembele and Marquinhos will probably not be able to play against Barcelona due to injury problems. The game would have been a little better if the team did not have such injury problems and both teams could have played with their strong XI.

UEFA champions league is going smoothly and we saw match between Paris Saint-Germain football team and Barcelona football team and we saw thrilling match because we saw last goal at the end of the match and otherwise result could be draw between both teams score was equal in the whole match and both teams did 1,1 goal in the first half of the match and that match was great fir both teams. Torres was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 19 minutes and that was good start by that player but after that we saw no effort by other players of that team and opponent team gained confidence to do goals in this match.Ramos was a person who did last goal of the match and he made a match for his team because that was requirement of the team.

However, now, PSG must return to their Ligue 1 campaign against LOSC in two days. LOSC is not an easy club to beat, so they must remain focused on winning that match, which will be held at LOSC's home ground.

This will be a tough match for  PSG. Lille is one of the renowned teams in Ligue 1. Lille was unbeaten in their first four matches. But due to the defeat in their last two matches, the team is now in sixth place in the table. Despite losing their last two matches in Ligue 1 , Lille beat Roma 1- 0 in a crucial match in the Europa league paltform.

There is no doubt that PSG is the strongest team in Ligue 1. But a few weeks ago we saw PSG lose against Marseille. So it is not surprising that PSG lost points against Lille. Lille  is not a weak team.

But PSG's head-to- head record against Lille is good. We have seen PSG win 4 times out of the last 5 head-to-head matches. And one match was drawn. Lille could  not win a single one. Considering the head-to-head statistics, PSG is the favorite.

BTTS seems wise but with tue performance from the Barcelona game, don't you see they can do harm to Lillie and return back on top of the table.
They have to take the win tomorrow ahead of the International break. As for Marseille they have been consistently winning. The likes of Mason Greenwood and his teammates are relentlessly chasing PSG. They also got three goals and kept a clean sheet as they were the visitors to Metz. De Zebri and his boys are in a fine form.

Yes, Paris Saint-Germain won't lose, but a draw is possible.
LOSC Lille may be inconsistent, but playing at home brings a different performance. The Lille fans can certainly demoralize the PSG players, causing some players to lose focus.
I'm not underestimating Paris Saint-Germain mentality, but as you said, they were previously beaten by Marseille away from home.

Indeed, judging from their H2H record, PSG has a much higher chance of winning than LOSC. Moreover, they just won big against top La Liga club Barcelona, ​​which is incredibly prestigious. And this time, they shouldn't lose the points, considering their position has been overtaken by Marseille, while Marseille also won in their last match.

Yes, Marseille just won against Metz with a score of 0-3, even though Marseille didn't give their opponents a chance to attack.

Paris Saint Germain was not with their complete squad so I only see the match as a bonus match for Marseille because if Paris Saint Germain was with full squad there's no way they could have lost the game, so far as the French ligue 1 is concern Paris Saint Germain is still the lion that rules that league and there's nothing a team can do about it, Marseille was just fortunate to have meet them at that point,  we will wait and see what happens next in their second meeting, then we shall see if truly Marseille is as strong as you may think.

Marseille won't be able to outperform PSG because Marseille's strength is still below PSG's. Furthermore, a loss in the league won't affect PSG's chances of winning Ligue 1 this season, as they just thrashed a top team at home in the Champions League, leaving their fans deeply disappointed. So, for Marseille, this is a very normal situation, as the PSG coach knows when to field a full squad and when to save some of their players for much more important matches. Because this season's schedule still looks busy and some teams are competing in more than one league, of course they have to maintain the stamina and fitness of their own players.

My problem with some of these teams that we all see as possible contenders for the title or challengers to some how battle PSG for the title is that on paper we see them as a serious team to give PSG a hard time but on the pitch after the kick off you'd see them playing like they're afraid of the champions, how they approach the game is a problem.
PSG  have been up to speed and Marseille beating them by a goal to nil will make them more desperate to get back to the number 1 position on the log, Lille won't be much of a problem but the issue PSG are having is the injury crisis they are facing, their important players are not going to be in action again and I just hope they get another win today without those guys that are out due to injury.

Lille club is taking Paris Saint-Germain in the Decathlon Arean-Stade Pierre Meuroy Stadium which if Paris Saint-Germain is not able to win today match with Lille club the Paris Saint-Germain will remain second in there League table, which Marseille club will be topping the League with goals scored different but with my own point of view, I'm seeing Paris Saint-Germain will definitely dominate to match by winning Lille club in the Decathlon Arean-Stade Pierre Meuroy Stadium, and it is normal for you to be able to win a particular game, the clubs side need to work or putting in there best while playing the match to be able to be victorious over there openent. So for Paris Saint-Germain to win today they needs to putting in there best to be able to win because the both teams are coming out with equal players.

Well, at least it happened, and Marseille overtook PSG in the table, leading them on goal difference, until PSG played their match against Lille. Of course, Marseille's victory over PSG played a significant role in this, too. I think no one doubts that PSG is stronger now, and I'm sure they can beat Lille today, even a draw would be enough for them. I have no doubt that PSG will be able to play consistently throughout the season, because they have very good bench depth. I think Marseille's situation is getting worse, and I expect they will drop points more often.

For the time being Marseille is currently at the top of the standings, as PSG has yet to play their matchday seven match, and both teams are currently level on points. At least this is a glimmer of hope for Marseille, as if they can play consistently, their chances of competing with PSG are still quite strong. Everyone might say it's impossible for other teams to compete with PSG for the title, as this team is far superior and stronger, making it difficult for other teams in Ligue 1 to break PSG's dominance. Rotation is indeed very necessary because PSG also has a Champions League match schedule that must be well prepared for. So, with this rotation, the players can be more fit.

When PSG defends that well, it is nearly impossible to beat them. Their offense is already great, even with missing players they are still great and there is no doubt about that part. But when you have a defense that stops elite level players like Yamal and what not, then you are getting a great result no matter what.

PSG became a great defending team after the first goal, and that allowed them to attack easier and they got some great results from it. I get that it may not be that crazy, but at the end of the day it is not going to be easy for anyone to defend that well against Barcelona, so what PSG did was an insane defensive achievement. Which allowed them to be better on offense where they lacked many players.

Yes, when you say that you are a complete team, with an incisive and sharp attack and a very strong defense that can neutralize talents like Yamal, how do you play with them, this is the strength of PSG compared to Chelsea, PSG as a team is very complete

Lyon vs Toulouse

Lyon confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Dominik Greif (GK), Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Clinton Mata, Moussa Niakhate, Nicolas Tagliafico, Tyler Morton, Tanner Tessmann, Adam Karabec, Corentin Tolisso, Malick Fofana, Martin Satriano.

Toulouse confirmed lineup (3-4-3): Guillaume Restes (GK), Rasmus Nicolaisen, Mark McKenzie, Charlie Cresswell, Djibril Sidibe, Mario Sauer, Cristian Casseres Jr., Warren Kamanzi, Aron Doennum, Frank Magri, Yann Gboho.

Lyon's performance this season is so amazing compared to what they have played last season. I don't see Toulouse as a difficult opponent for Lyon because for the past 18 encounters they haven't lost to Toulouse, they are able to secured 15 victories and three draw, this is an achievement for Lyon for making this long unbeaten record. So with their current performance I will just go straight and add three point to their existing point because I'm definitely sure that it will enter, especially now that they are The Host and again the opponent are not ready to end this unbeaten record anytime soon.

For me, this is one of those fixtures where Lyon don’t even have to overthink things because it's possibly going to be a win for them. Currently, they are playing with purpose and a game like this is exactly where they should stamp their authority.

Toulouse might try to be competitive but when one team has been getting the better of you for years, it’s really going to be hard to walk in with real belief. Seriously, Lyon have more maturity and structure in their play now, and I don’t see them giving away points any time some in the league.

It wasn't the lack of complete squad that gave Marseille win over PSG rather I think the match was difficult for PSG because that night they were full of expectation as the award night is going on in France and the team wasn't lucky enough in the game that's why they couldn't come back in the game after Marseille scored in the first half of the game. PSG didn't use their full squad against Barcelona in the champions League yet they still won in the game if it's about the complete squad they shouldn't have won the game cause Barcelona is a better team when compared to Marseille.

PSG lost against Marseille and they are now in second position in the points table. PSG is in second position in the points table with 15 points after winning 5 matches out of 6 matches, while Marseille is in first position in the points table with 15 points after winning 5 matches and losing 2 matches out of 7 matches. However, PSG should have won against Marseille. If PSG could have won against Marseille, then PSG would have had many more points than Marseille and later they could have relaxed a lot in Ligue 1 and planned for the Champions League matches. Although Marseille's position is temporary, PSG will soon secure the top position in the points table again.

Although Marseille's position is temporary, PSG will soon secure the top position in the points table again.

Marseille played good against PSG and deserved to pick the first spot but right now it is Lyon which is temporarily holding the first position in the ranking since they are leading with one goal against Toulouse in this first half.
PSG used to have some distances from the other teams, generally 10 points difference by the tenth round but this season seems to be more challenging for them with Lyon and Marseille close to them.

Loosing against Marseille for me is not really a big deal for PSG because they are winning other games which will give them more chances to win the league for this season.  The point difference is such that is not much and PSG can always quickly cover up for it and get back to the top of the league and possibly win the title again this season.

Based on the expectations of many fans the loss meant a lot for PSG because they dropped 3 points which should have given them more edge over the rivals in the league but since they were able to defeat Barcelona in the champions League it shows that they were not really affected because of that loss but they should be able to get back to winning ways when they play against Lille from away other wise they will be affected in the league table.
