French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[qurbanshah02]

Yes, Dembele, Doue, and several other players have returned, so hopefully they can play much better with these key players in all matches, especially in the French Ligue 1, where they are being overtaken by Marseille.

PSG is great, but Leverkusen is poor this season. Their transfer strategy has ruined them in Europe. The problem is that this match is being held in Germany. Indeed, PSG is very dominant, the other problem is Roberth Adrich's red card in the 33rd minute. This became an issue and created weaknesses, we can even see that the goals PSG scored came after the red card. I won't comment further, but PSG was perfect in the UCL today. This shows that PSG really needs Dembele and Doue; Enrique must be able to get these two players fit so that PSG can continue to achieve maximum results in the League or Europe.

Not only in the UCL, but even in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen's domestic league, its performance has declined significantly. So it's understandable that Leverkusen lost so far to PSG. However, PSG truly capitalized on every opportunity, resulting in a resounding 7-2 victory.

Finally, PSG now tops the UEFA Champions League table at the current round, with 9 points, level with several clubs below them, followed by Bayern Munich, Inter, Arsenal, and Real Madrid, all with 9 points.

Leverkusen has weakened itself. What is the lack in their team that has not been filled up yet, due to which their team is not seeing the success that we hope they will achieve in every match. In this match, we actually defeated Leverkusen because Leverkusen is already defeating every team, so PSG is a strong and good team anyway, due to which they defeated Leverkusen by a very large margin. If PSG gets defeated, it will be interesting in the league because if they are successful in all matches, it is difficult for any team to defeat them. If at some point Bayern Munich and PSG meet, I hope that PSG will weaken that position which will come in favor of Bayern Munich.

This shows that PSG really needs Dembele and Doue; Enrique must be able to get these two players fit so that PSG can continue to achieve maximum results in the League or Europe.

But was there really anyone who expected Leverkusen to win, I certainly didn't, PSG is currently the best team in Europe, if not the best, it was easy for them to win, now I'm not saying that there will certainly be problems but they are destined to win the next matches especially with a team of this level

It was not at all fair to think that because Leverkusen was a very weak team at the time which is why imagining their victory was a stain on PSG strength and their title success. Yes PSG is a strong and well performing team, which is why I consider them a very good and struggling team. PSG has scored 7 goals in this match which were scored by their capable and goal score players in every match. Leverkusen could only score 2 goals in comparison to them, which was in line with their strength and performance. If Leverkusen focus on other team compared to strong teams, they can be much better which will be the basis for their win. The power and dominance that PSG has gain over Leverkusen in this match will increase their strength and hard work even more.

However, before entering the Champions League match against Leverkusen, PSG had conceded three goals in a Ligue 1 match. It goes without saying that PSG is giving the Champions League the most importance this season. So far, they have performed excellently in the Champions League matches, especially our performance against Leverkusen has to be praised. Great understanding has been observed among the team's players, although Leverkusen's defense lineup was weak, still seven goals were scored, but nothing less. PSG is currently at the top of the points table with a hundred percent victory in three group stage matches and they will definitely try to maintain this position.

[M47AK16]

Yes, we all didn't expect Strasbourg to put up such a fierce fight against PSG. I think Strasbourg's strategy was quite good across all areas, and the players were very consistent in maintaining their respective roles. Strasbourg did indeed appear solid with a tight formation and high discipline, especially in midfield and defense which succeeded in limiting PSG attacks. I think Strasbourg's mistake was in the last goal, their defenders were unable to close down S. Mayulu's movement and finally scored a goal.

The key was discipline, as the intensity of the game was very high, and the six goals scored in the match represented a style of play that was almost impossible for their respective coaches to analyze. Strasbourg even managed to keep up with PSG, and their midfield players made a difference, making the match even more exciting. The mistake in the third goal wasn't entirely the defender's fault, as I saw the movement start from the middle, which the Strasbourg players couldn't stop.

When the best team in the world ends up playing hard and not giving up, even when they are leading, that means they are going to do a fine job without a doubt. We shouldn't really expect them to be this much hungry for a win, because they already won UCL once, and did treble last year, so it was not easy to expect them to feel this much passion when playing, many would have given up because they already reached their goal.

But no, PSG looked like they are hungry for more and they are playing like they are going to end up with a much better result, which is why I think they have a huge chance of winning UCL again if they keep playing like this. It shouldn't really be that much of a big deal, it could be something that will not take that long and could win many.

The match was pretty crazy, PSG completely crushed Bayer Leverkusen with great embarrassment, scoring 7 goals against Leverkusen, who could only manage two in return. This is truly embarrassing. After losing Xabi, Leverkusen simply couldn't match the strength they once had, especially after being dismantled by Ten Hag. Leverkusen's golden era needs a coach with the same capabilities as Xabi Alonso—or even better—to break Bayern Munich's dominance. In the Champions League, they won't be able to progress further.

In Ligue 1, PSG doesn't seem to be giving it their all and is focusing more on the Champions League to defend their title. Currently, PSG is at the top of the table without a loss, but the league has only played three matches in this round, with five more to go to confirm their position.

Obviously, for PSG, priority has been shifted to the champions league and it is so clear and obvious. But they still do not seem to have completely neglected the Ligue 1 in as much as their performance has not been really impressive through the Ligue 1 recently, but they are still at the top position on the table and so they may later still redirect focus completely if it turns out that the champions league later goes south with them and they had got to crash out at a stage.

[banana33]

Dembele, Benzema, Rodri, they all played so hard and put so much to win these that after they won, they became injured, and one even before. I have to say it's clear that we are going to see more and more winners, unlike before where they just had the same two guys.

Dembele has one thing ahead of him, he is young and he is not seriously injured neither, so when he comes back, he could be the first player to stay great. I do not remember any player who was still great after winning for a long time now. 2021 was Messi due to World cup, he has been at MLS and doing alright there but it's MLS, so he is semi-retired in my eye, then it was Benzema, who just went to Saudi league for the money and semi-retired too, and then it was Messi again, which we all know not that great, then Rodri, who got injured and didn't come back great. So Dembele is the only player who can actually improve after winning it.

Players are cars, if you always drive a car at most two things can happen; either you melt the engine or you cause an accident.
If stressed for a long time, sooner or later the body gives way and causes injuries.
Dembele will certainly be able to recover, he has not suffered a serious injury and age has an important factor in his rapid recovery, old age is for everyone.

PSG are currently giving more importance to the big matches, especially the Champions League. They are not ignoring or neglecting Ligue 1 either, but we should not forget that each league has its own temperament. You can be the top team in one league, but you can be the opposite in another league. Although Ligue 1 is not difficult for PSG, we see PSG dominating Ligue 1 most of the time. Marseille are performing well to challenge PSG this season and are challenging them. I am interested to see which team can win this challenge in the end.

Leverkusen has weakened itself. What is the lack in their team that has not been filled up yet, due to which their team is not seeing the success that we hope they will achieve in every match. In this match, we actually defeated Leverkusen because Leverkusen is already defeating every team, so PSG is a strong and good team anyway, due to which they defeated Leverkusen by a very large margin. If PSG gets defeated, it will be interesting in the league because if they are successful in all matches, it is difficult for any team to defeat them.

Yes, Bayer Leverkusen have weakened themselves, because they are now a frustrated team, everyone will be scolding this team if they see their performance against PSG in the new season's Champions League. Even so, it is true that the match between them was very exciting, with only the PSG football club players putting in a top-class performance, We even saw Vitinha perform brilliantly in PSG's 7-2 win over Leverkusen and it's truly commendable that he was able to showcase the full range of his skills as a top-class player.

If at some point Bayern Munich and PSG meet, I hope that PSG will weaken that position which will come in favor of Bayern Munich.

The match between PSG and Bayern Munich is coming up, so there will definitely be a heated and crazy atmosphere in that match, we have already seen the performance of German league club Bayer Leverkusen against this team but they were not able to play in an organized way there but it is expected that Bayern will probably give PSG a tough time and no team will be able to take complete control in this match.

[Ahli38]

Ligue 1's ninth round will be held in the near future. Several teams will compete for full points while others will try to maintain their top positions. Marseille seems to be more dominant in Ligue 1 than in the Champions League. Meanwhile PSG seems more focused on the Champions League so they appear to be divided in their focus on Ligue 1. However PSG still has a great chance to top the Ligue 1 standings. And Strasbourg is also a strong candidate to compete with PSG or even Marseille.

What are your predictions for the ninth round? Do you have any predictions or even expectations? Will there be any surprises or will the top 3 teams continue to dominate?

Yeah of course there is no situation like PSG don't care about the Ligue 1. Recently they faced important injuries especially in the attacking line. Dembélé, Doué and Kvaratskhelia were all injured.

But now it looks like they are all back! Dembélé seems like he really missed to play a lot. He scored only 3 minutes after entering the Leverkusen game. From now on, I expect them to lose much less number of points in the Ligue 1.

[Shineup]

Yes, Dembele, Doue, and several other players have returned, so hopefully they can play much better with these key players in all matches, especially in the French Ligue 1, where they are being overtaken by Marseille.

Let's wait and see how it goes else I'd say sometimes it's not really about missing players but a team dropping form but now the doue is back let's see how it goes, because this was exactly same way Lillie used in winning the league few years past and I'm seeing such to happen again, because we will be saying Paris Saint Germain will bounce back and Marseille will refuse to lose and by so doing the league is moving, but I doubt if that can actually happen Paris Saint Germain got the league on their pam and I don't think anyone can come close mostly now they're one of the best in the world, I just think Marseille will happen to finish the league as runner up.

PSG will try and return to winning ways in the ligue 1 after a disappointing match last weekend against Strasbourg. Winning away with a huge amount in the champions League should be a good moral boaster and win at Brest. Brest is an average team and should not be a too strong opponent to PSG dropping points early to the start of the season like this is not a too good one for a team like PSG.

It could have ruined Leverkusen in the whole season. And I mean what happens AFTER a humiliation like this. Aleix Garcia felt so bad that he apologized to fans and regretted changing shirts with Dembele. When your players are that psychologically devastated, you have a problem that can not be solved by tactics. And that goal difference? It is a DEATH SENTENCE in this new Champions League format. They're 30th out of 36 teams

The system of Leverkusen under Alonso was brilliant a few months ago. It is all gone wrong now since Hjulmand retained the fun bits and abandoned the effort. The three goals PSG had in six minutes before the break? Leverkusen's defenders were everywhere, but the wing-backs were being pushed up like they're still playing under Alonso, and nobody's covering the space behind them. Barcola and Kvaratskhelia simply ran into acres of space. It's amateur hour

As for PSG, everyone is celebrating, but I am actually worried about them. Zabarnyi cost 63m and sent himself off in 36 minutes, conceding two penalties. That is your big defensive signing losing his head in a vital game. A backline that weak like that cannot win knockout Champions League matches. They will soon play a match where they will control, make opportunities, and get one goal and everyone will ask what happened. That is variance correcting itself

My forecast: Leverkusen will not even reach the play-offs unless they totally change their defensive set up. And PSG? When the luck goes bad they will go back

[Fara Chan]

Let's wait and see how it goes else I'd say sometimes it's not really about missing players but a team dropping form but now the doue is back let's see how it goes, because this was exactly same way Lillie used in winning the league few years past and I'm seeing such to happen again, because we will be saying Paris Saint Germain will bounce back and Marseille will refuse to lose and by so doing the league is moving, but I doubt if that can actually happen Paris Saint Germain got the league on their pam and I don't think anyone can come close mostly now they're one of the best in the world, I just think Marseille will happen to finish the league as runner up.

Almost every season, it's like that, with PSG ultimately winning Ligue 1 and another team finishing second, as you said for Marseille. I just hope Ligue 1 can be more competitive in terms of competing for Champions League spots, so it doesn't become boring to follow. I also don't think Marseille is a serious obstacle to the Ligue 1 title race this season, even though they currently sit atop the table with a one-point lead over PSG. This weekend, Marseille will travel to Lens, a tough opponent for Marseille, so the match could be a close one as both teams battle for the top spot in the standings.

We hope this season will be a little different, with Marseille able to provide a balanced match for PSG, even if they ultimately fail to win the title like in previous seasons. Currently, the standings are still quite close, and if Marseille can maintain their consistency, their chances could be much better, as there are still many matches to play, and consistency is needed for Marseille to stay on track. Marseille must maximize their potential against Lens this week to secure full points and maintain their chances of remaining at the top of the standings.

But was there really anyone who expected Leverkusen to win, I certainly didn't, PSG is currently the best team in Europe, if not the best, it was easy for them to win, now I'm not saying that there will certainly be problems but they are destined to win the next matches especially with a team of this level
I didn't expect them to win either, but I also didn't expect them to concede seven goals. Bayer Leverkusen were humiliated on their home turf. If Paris Saint-Germain scored so many goals with ten men, I can't imagine what would have happened with 11. Perhaps their ten-man status prevented Leverkusen from suffering a historic defeat. While this match, where they conceded seven goals, was historic, it could have been worse. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are the two teams that look to be the best in the Champions League this year.

Yes, i totally agree with you. PSG is one of the teams that can currently compete to reach the final or at least go all the way to the final. Of course, this is something everyone knows. i wasn't even considering Leverkusen, so yes, i also think there wasn't a real match.

[changaa]

But was there really anyone who expected Leverkusen to win, I certainly didn't, PSG is currently the best team in Europe, if not the best, it was easy for them to win, now I'm not saying that there will certainly be problems but they are destined to win the next matches especially with a team of this level
Ahah, everybody knows PSG is great but for Leverkusen, it has been very bad for the Germans club, they have been struggling a lot this season and that is why am not really surprised seeing them been trashed by PSG, I just hope they would do something about their present state by reforming the situation to enable the team get back to those moments when they were contenders in the domestic league title.

Let's say that a Leverkusen victory was unlikely (even if he scored two goals).
But i didn't expect a disastrous defeat, that is, they practically made a good impression first and foremost by letting them win.
Maybe they would have made a better impression, because that was a real humiliation.
Obviously i am sorry, he's losing, he's part of the game, but at least don't get 7 sandwiches.

[Luzin]

Leverkusen has weakened itself. What is the lack in their team that has not been filled up yet, due to which their team is not seeing the success that we hope they will achieve in every match. In this match, we actually defeated Leverkusen because Leverkusen is already defeating every team,

Management has made a big mistake; they did not choose the best coach and decisions at the beginning of the season. Today, their condition is still unstable, they do not have a strong foundation from the start of the season. So it seems they still need time; performing well requires time. Therefore, I think the current condition must continue to change. Continuous improvements are needed, so I think they still need to adapt, and that is not a short period of time. With that condition, PSG is very deserving of a win. Under Enrique, PSG has changed so much. PSG is similar to Barcelona.

[m4r1o]

We hope this season will be a little different, with Marseille able to provide a balanced match for PSG, even if they ultimately fail to win the title like in previous seasons. Currently, the standings are still quite close, and if Marseille can maintain their consistency, their chances could be much better, as there are still many matches to play, and consistency is needed for Marseille to stay on track. Marseille must maximize their potential against Lens this week to secure full points and maintain their chances of remaining at the top of the standings.

I don't think Marseille is strong enough to beat Paris Saint-Germain. They are clearly the strongest team both in the league and in Europe, so there's no hope for any potential rivals. I'd like Marseille to be strong enough to do it, but i don't think so.

Ofcourse PSG were the favorite to win the match, I'm even suprised that Bayern Leverkusen managed to score two goals, they would've been lucky if they were the winners of that match cause PSG'S performance was better and they merited the victory, I really expect PSG to keep  clean shit, didn't expect them to score many and concede two goals.

 The only German team that's strong this season is Bayern Munich as for Leverkusen I didn't rate them even before they were humiliated by PSG cause I know that Ten Hag had already messed up their season from the onset, they can only manage to attain top level in the Bundesliga not the Champions League.
