French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Adiljutt156]

PAG shows their superiority as they trash bayern leverkusen 2-7 in the champions league, I think even in the league now PSG will be back to where we know them to be. The 3 front men are back and it show in today’s match how important they are for Luis Enrique. Dembele good his first champions league appearance this season after battling from injury and the current  Ballon D’Or holder did it in style. He scored today and so did Doure and Kvaratskhelia.

I don’t expect they to be out of the league table for long, they are back, I can see it from how they move the ball from defense to attack. It good to see Dembele finally back.

We saw less matches in which we saw that kind of more goals as we saw 9 goals in this match and two players did 2,2 goals in this match and 5 players did 1,1 goal in this match and gave support to their team . García was a player of Bayer 04 Leverkusen football team and he did his first goal at 38 minutes of the match and that goal was at penalty and after that we saw goals by opponent team and opponent team looked in full strength. Doué was also person who did 2 goals in this match And he did goal at 41 minutes of the match and after few minutes he did goal again at 48 minutes and gave support to his team.Paris Saint-Germain football team was ahead in this match in everything because their players fitness is at top and they performed brilliant in this match.

Paris FC and Nantes will be playing in France today. Considering both teams are battling for mid-table, I think Paris FC could be close to three points. Nantes, once one of the best teams in the league a few years ago, now looks like a team just trying to climb the table, far from their former form. They'll face a tough away game tonight to get all three points. We'll see how they do, but I expect a draw.

[Cossyblack]

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.

PSG is only showing much concerned to UEFA matches than the Ligue 1 because the ultimate challenge lies in the UEFA than the already conquer lique 1. PSG knows winning the Lique 1 wouldn't be a problem to them but in the case of the UEFA champions League is a different scenario entirely. There are teams playing excellently well in the UEFA that are a bigger threats & obstacles to PSG victory in the UEFA. This is the more reason PSG is putting more efforts in winning their games in the UEFA to catch-up competing with the stronger teams that may likely dethroned them of their crown as defending champions.

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.

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.

Since Marseille is doing well in the local league competition, PSG will have to be a little more focused in Ligue 1. If PSG is more indifferent, it will be seen that they are doing well in the Champions League but their results are coming badly in the local league. Marseille and PSG have played a total of 8 matches in the local league where they are at the top of the points table with one point more than PSG but Marseille and I do not like this. In the previous season, we saw that PSG held the top position of the table from the beginning of the season, but this season we are seeing something opposite. Despite being at the bottom of the points table, PSG has a high chance of winning the local league title but I want them to win the league title by a large margin.

Funny enough, you are talking on behalf of Marseille without them knowing. If I may ask, when did Marseille tell you that they don’t want to see themselves leading the table? Everyone wants to be champions, so Marseille will also like to be the champions of Ligue 1, even if it’s for a season, which is what will make the league more competitive. But the way you are saying that you want to see PSG leading with a large margin means you don’t want to see Ligue 1 as a competitive league, but a league dominated by PSG. Which brings us to another question. Are you a PSG fan? Because it shows that you want their success by all means.

[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.

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.

I think Marseille toping the league is just kind of formality, we all know they can't win the league not now that Paris Saint Germain is on fire yes Paris Saint Germain might have one or two challenges but I'm quite certain they will definitely bounce back and when they do they ain't holding back till the league is ended and they will lift the French ligue 1 title like they have always do, but on the other hand I'd love it if Marseille should lift that title at least to make a difference once more after Lillie in few seasons past, but I doubt if Marseille can do that actually.

They have so much work to do if they must defend the champions league title and I guess they know that already, the efforts PSG is putting in the champions league obviously shows their commitment to it than they would with the Ligue 1 which they have won severally and become  so experienced in it that they know what to do at anytime to come back and reclaim the title as the top contender of the title always. Their champions league opponents is way more tougher than that which they have got in their Ligue 1 so it is typical of them to channel more efforts in that direction.

If I had made a single bet by this game, my choice would have been Paris FC win @1.61. 

They look quite decent in home games so far. They lost only once which was against Strasbourg. It is natural though as the opponent was one of the toughest in the league.

Nantes don't have an away win yet this season. They struggled to score in those games too.

Only that PSG seem to be slowing down a little with the ligue 1 seeing that they are much bent on achieving much with he champions league, the champions league seem to be taking more priority from PSG of which most definitely, when once they return some priority back to the Ligue 1, it will take a maximum of two weeks and Marseille will be displaced, the most they will be able to do is that they will  be at the top four till the season ends.

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.

PSG is topping the list after 3 rounds and interestingly Inter and Arsenal which are following PSG did not receive a single goal yet!
Now let's talk about Logic. Marseille won against PSG in Ligue 1. PSG faced what supposed to be a better team than Marseille opponent in UEFA Champions League. At the end Marseille lost their match and PSG slapped badly Bayer Leverkusen.
The problem is that Marseille scored first, seemed to perform better at the beginning. I suppose the red card and playing one player down affected them a lot..

There are times when a top club isn't in optimal form when facing a club lower down the pecking order. The only goal scored in the match that gave Marseille the win was a goal scored by PSG player Marquinhos in the very early stages, in the 5th minute. This certainly dampened their spirits at first. However, they eventually recovered and began to play at their best.

However, PSG were indeed without several key players, particularly up front. However, I'm sure the defeat gave them more motivation and a winning spirit, making it PSG's only loss.

The difference is only one point, PSG can easily take over the top spot in the standings from Marseille. Naturally, many parties hope that a team can break PSG dominance, thereby making Ligue 1 more competitive. However, that is not an easy job, and Marseille needs a lot of luck to do it. I think PSG will soon reclaim the top spot in the standings and hold their position until the end of the season. If we talk about priorities, PSG certainly prioritizes winning the Champions League trophy while trying to retain the Ligue 1 trophy. PSG performance will improve again once all their key players are available.

Despite playing at home, Paris FC still lost to the visiting team Nantes. It can be said that Paris FC is still far behind its city rival PSG. Paris FC was only promoted to Ligue 1 this season. Although the owner is a wealthy French conglomerate, Paris FC's player spending is still standard and not as extravagant as PSG, which pursues top and expensive players.

The match has ended, and Nantes was lucky enough to score two goals in the first half, which they defended in the second half to beat Paris 1-2 at full time to secure an important three points against Paris. Nantes used to be a tough team in French Ligue 1, and sometimes PSG find it difficult to beat Nantes, but I don't know what happened to Nantes, and they started struggling in French Ligue 1.

This week's opening match is quite interesting about Nantes and Paris, Paris is a new challenger but the style of play is quite good only the attack line they lack sharpness, if they can make the attackers better maybe they have a chance to win more, Nantes opened the early goal in the first 2 minutes of the game, must have made a tremendous surprise because Paris players were not fully prepared for such a fast attack.

In general, a team has developments and declines, changing strategies and trying something new for a much better match effectiveness, I see Nantes has a chance if they continue to find a powerful strategy to survive in league 1, and can return to the top flight, at least in the top 10 at the end of the season.

[pawel7777]

I'm not going to lie, it's refreshing to see a team other than PSG to lead the table. Marseille is on 5 long winning streak (league games only) and they surely deserve the 1st spot.
Tonight Marseille is taking on Lens (currently 4th) in an away game. Winning against Lens won't be an easy task and we may very well see PSG reclaiming their leadership.
The odds for that game are spread almost evenly, with Marseille being a very slight favourite:
Lens: x2.70
Draw: x3.50
Marseille: x2.50

I'm tempted with a double chance bet on Marseille, as this season they tend to do well against demanding opponents in the league, although their recent loss to Sporing in the Champions League can be a bit concerning.

Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain is a match that Paris Saint-Germain should be victorious but with my experience as i watch Paris Saint-Germain since the beginning of season that Paris Saint-Germain has been putting more effort to always be victorious in the Europe Champion league tournament then winning in the French soccer league but since the champion league is scheduled till next month, I'm vividly watching today match with Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain if Brest will hold Paris Saint-Germain to a draw match, but Paris Saint-Germain is in a better place to win the game today over 1.5 or more.

Paris did came back to the Ligue 1 with such an amazing energy, I even taught they would draw this game of which they were actually close to doing that, only  that  they were not tough enough at some point, Nantes still remains an average team with their most recent performances, I doubt if PSG will have to struggle against them if they meet again, and the reason or cause of their supposed set backs is currently not really known, to me though but I hope they get better again.

PSG has already had two draws in its last matches in Ligue 1. I don't expect Brest to be able to hold PSG to a draw in the upcoming match. PSG is definitely more favored. However, looking at the current situation, Ligue 1 becomes more interesting if several clubs manage to compete with PSG, even though they may not maintain it until the end of the season. Marseille must remain consistent to be able to compete with PSG for the Ligue 1 trophy this season.

Brest vs PSG match is going to be played in Brest's home ground in a while. Both teams have lost points in the last two matches and drawn both matches. Ligue 1 is not going as expected for PSG, we do not see their dominance in Ligue 1. Marseille has become a big obstacle in PSG's way, if Marseille can maintain their performance, then the fight will not be easy for PSG.

However, PSG seems to be the favorite to win against Brest. Even the results of the last two matches are not satisfactory at all, so it goes without saying that they will be desperate to win this match. Brest will also have a similar attitude, but this attitude may not be as effective against PSG.

I can't guarantee Paris Saint-Germain will win by 1.5 goals, but one thing is for sure, they will win this match & take home 3 points. That point is my concern, because if we look at the Ligue 1 standings, Paris Saint-Germain is currently 1 point behind Marseille & for that, Paris Saint-Germain really needs to win the match to maintain their distance & stay in the Ligue 1 title race well. It's not bad to bet on Paris Saint-Germain to win regardless of the odds, as it's really easy money.
