French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Callido]

Even if PSG end up being the winners of the league, it will still not be as easy for them as it used to be. That is what we need to be seeing in Ligue 1 because they are becoming too dominant in the league. This pressure and competition in the domestic league will make PSG more focused, because they will not like to see themselves losing the championship of the league.

10 games played out of 34 games in a season. Logically, we are judging too fast and PSG are not performing well while the rest competitors are in their best striking performance in competition for the title. PSG couldn't win Lorient and ended in a draw that shows some difficulty at the moment. Before the season gets past half way, the table will become more stable to judge, PSG are not at their best in the domestic league like other teams, by the time they are ready to pull up, the point differences will be wide.

I am not worried that PSG isn't taking their domestic match seriously. I believe that when they're ready to start winning their matches, they'll definitely be consistent till the end of the season. Maybe, Enrique Luis is trying something different to keep the players free from overworking themselves. Who knows if we might see a different club win the title this season.

PSG let me down, I was hoping until the last minute that they would score a second goal, but the match ended in a draw. But to my surprise, Marseille also couldn't beat Angers, conceding a second goal in the 96th minute. Monaco took advantage of this and moved within one point of PSG. Even though PSG is losing points, no one can take advantage of it, and they still remain the leaders, I think PSG won't let anyone overtake them. Tomorrow they play Nice, then Bayern, maybe they'll play half-heartedly against Nice, because the Bayern match will be a priority.

It was a quite unusual round indeed! The most interesting thing in PSG's game was that none of Dembélé and Doué even had a shot attempt. I wonder why...    Marseille also missed a big chance to take the lead from them.

However I think it won't be the same tomorrow. I expect PSG to beat Nice and Marseille to do the same to Auxerre. It gives us a total odds of 2.16 if we bet on their wins in a 2-leg multi. It seems quite nice to me.

Lorient 1 Vs PSG 1 FT
PSG form of late has really dropped and I don't think anyone would have imagined this to happen to them before now. They still top the league table but ot as uch as they usually do. Lens and Marseille has has a better form in their last 5 games which has helped them in accumulation of enough points to tail the champions. PSG has a range of injury list which is affecting them but even at that it's not really affecting them, Kudos to the coach for managing his team well that they are still active in the various competitions they're in.

League One teams are not serious, and with the way they are playing this season, no one will believe in them again because people will think it is a fixing match. If someone told me that Lorient can stop PSG from taking the three points, I would not believe because PSG has beat many teams that are stronger than Lorient this season. PSG is not serious this season, and it looks like they are only serious about winning the Champions League this season because that is the only competition.

Many teams that we expected to win their games, including PSG and Maseile, did not win, leaving the league open for any team to perform well and finish at the top of the league. I know that PSG is the best team in the world and are still the favourites to win the league this season, but they must be careful, if not, they will end up without winning any major trophy this season.

Lol, PSG will still win the league at the end and that's the fact about it. Lorient got a point from the game out of their own hard work, remember that some of PSG's first team players are out injured, leaving the coach to use the bench and trying out new strategies on these new players. We all know that if it were to be their main team, that game in most cases would have been done and dusted in the first 45 minutes. Others teams in the league are just almost equal to each other that why they almost beat themselves apart from PSG that's in another league of their own in that league.

PSG becomes vulnerable and weak in Ligue One and we know this is not good for them. There are quite good numbers of returning players to Paris Saint-Germain and also having to see some coming back and also sustaining another injury which will keep them on the sideline for months, directly talking about Doué. This is not good for the young lad because there's more games to play for the club, anyways we wish him quick recovery.

When the team does well we always praise the coach, i think it's right that if it doesn't do well we blame him.
It's also true that they play a lot, so they'll be tired.
It's always his fault, it means he didn't manage the turnover well.
When you are a coach you have to foresee this too

It was really a disappointing ending from PSG, too many bets was lost on that day, an over 1.5 from PSG which was supposed to happen didn't, PSG started first squad players, also their substitute were also strong to have contributed to their victory. PSG will win Nice tomorrow, if possible start the full team during the first half, score as much goals before making substitutions in the second half so the players can rest for the Champions League game against Bayern.

Yes at the start of this season, the competition looks more interesting, with five teams having the chance to top the standings in just one match if PSG loses. And there's a chance PSG place could eventually be taken by one of those five teams. Just wait, as PSG performance has been inconsistent so far, but ultimately the results are clear enough that PSG will be the eventual winner at the end of the season, I'm sure of that.

Even if PSG end up being the winners of the league, it will still not be as easy for them as it used to be. That is what we need to be seeing in Ligue 1 because they are becoming too dominant in the league. This pressure and competition in the domestic league will make PSG more focused, because they will not like to see themselves losing the championship of the league.

I don't think there's a chance for any other team other than Paris Saint-Germain to do well this year. They can get close and give the boys a bit of trouble, but i don't think there's even the slightest chance. They're too strong, but anything can happen

In the match Strasbourg vs Auxerre team, Strasbourg team scored 3 goals while Auxerre team could not score any goals. The players of Auxerre team could not perform well in this match due to which Auxerre team could not score any goals. Strasbourg team player J. Panichelli scored the 1st goal in the 46th minute. S. Nanasi scored the 2nd goal in the 55th minute and V. Barco scored the 3rd goal in the 60th minute to win the match.

Completely reluctant they're not, but they need to do more than whatever they're doing. They had some players missing chances they should have converted. He is not trying anything new, some players like Dembele who barely returned from injury are completely not in a good form, so they're not performing like they did last season. Ousman Dembele the ballon d'Or winner should be typical example. Lorient the last opponents were also stubborn as hell and the mow block formation they played also added up to their frustration. Underdogs like Lorient loves it when they share points with top sides this way.

I still don't think another team will win the Ligue 1 title this season, although PSG are starting to appear to be pushing their players less to win every game. Because other teams' ability to win titles in Ligue 1 is still quite low, PSG can certainly match any team in Ligue 1, even though the current points gap is still quite close to some of the top teams. Furthermore, PSG must remain more focused on the Champions League to avoid being eliminated immediately after entering the round of 16.

This match has happened because of the performance and hard work of both of them. If we look at the performance of both of them, there is a big difference between the two because Strasbourg is stronger than Auexrre at the moment, due to which they have also managed to score 3 goals. If Auexrre's players had tried, they could have drawn the match in any way. Their effort was quite good and the players who have succeeded in scoring goals, if they continue to play like this with their team, they will soon become a developed and strong team. Auexrre has always played badly in every previous match, if they had tried, they could have succeeded, but they have been seen playing weakly in this match.

There are competitors for the France league title. PSG not been in a favorite stand when it comes to the Ligue One games. Their entire focus is divided already and we're not seeing the best performance of Paris Saint-Germain in domestic league games. We ought to see how PSG will skyrocket to the top because that's how they can defeat hurdles on their path.

Luis Enrique is present to accomplish more titles with PSG. He's not retiring or leaving his managerial role anytime soon, there's more time for Luis Enrique to build the club and make them become formidable because that's what he's simply good at.

PSG failed to beat Lorient, but in fact their pursuers also failed, as they had a chance to at least temporarily take first place. And the bookmakers are valuing these setbacks for their pursuers as more significant than PSG's. I distinctly remember that in the previous rounds, PSG's title odds were 1.19, but now the picture looks like this:

Paris Saint-Germain FC - 1.14

Olympique de Marseille - 10.00

AS Monaco FC - 17.00

So PSG has increased its chances. And by the way, I can say that even +14% over eight months still looks very profitable compared to traditional financial instruments.

I just read this, perhaps a little late. Paris Saint-Germain forward Désiré Doué will be out for at least a few weeks after tearing a muscle in his right thigh. This occurred during PSG's match against Lorient. This situation is certainly detrimental to PSG, as they don't have many attacking options as good as Doué. They will play in the Champions League group stage on Tuesday. PSG will face Bayern Munich in the fourth round. Doué is a player who has shown remarkable improvement; last season he was one of the key players in PSG's three-trophy win. Enrique has a big challenge to overcome this problem.

There is no doubt about PSG winning the league as usual but we must admit that they messed up big time in that match with Lorient. It was a match they ought to win or at least score over 2.5 which is what many of us bet on the game. If I tell you how much I lost because of that match, you will be surprised, every other thing worked including Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Bayern Munic to win and some to produce over 2.5 goals but it was only PSG that failed to win or produce over 2.5 which made me lost all my bets. I'm contemplating avoiding them completely because their inconsistency is becoming unbearable.

I don't know why you guys have so much confidence in PSG winning the French Ligue 1 this season. As you can see in the table, the top 6 teams are still very much in the race for the title because PSG just have a point gap against Monaco who is second in the league table and just 2 points gaps with the teams in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th positions respectively so i wonder where the strong feelings that PSG will win the league is coming from. I knew that the match between Lorient and PSG will cut many bets because since Lorient was rocking the bottom in the 16th position, it was believed that PSG will win them without struggles but sad enough they played draw.

[snipie]

I don't know why you guys have so much confidence in PSG winning the French Ligue 1 this season.

Because of facts and history.
History telling that Paris Saint-Germain is always winning the Ligue 1 unless another team pop up from the beginning and start winning in mass. History tells us too that PSG opponents are losing points against weaker teams frequently.
Facts, well, nothing changed this year at least until now. Marseille lose points after winning against PSG. Lille and the others aren't no better. Monaco is the second, not for that long tho.

Their focus is not only on Ligue 1, but also on other competitions, so they have to divide their focus and player rotation carefully so as not to get tired amidst the busy match schedule. That's why in yesterday's match against Lorient they performed less than optimally, even though they dominated the match. However, at the end of the season I am sure that they will increase the gap with other teams to get the Ligue 1 trophy.

True PSG has others competitions like the champions League in mind. PSG knows that they are going to win the ligue 1 eventually PSG biggest challenge is trying to replicate what they were able to do last season by winning the champions League again this season. So there should be no cause for alarm over the performance of PSG on the league. As far as am concerned PSG is doing well both at home and in Europe you don't expect PSG to win all their games in a season, this season there is much improvement from the other teams in the league.
