French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[henmark]

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

You have to remember, being "successful" is relative. How so? Well if a team like Lens finishes second place, that is a successful year. But if a team like PSG loses at the cup, and doesn't even reach top 24 on group stages of UCL and still manages to win the league? You would see the manager getting fired. So that means every team has a different approach, and different success understanding with what they have.

PSG being first place is not just successful one, there are others who can do that. Monaco and Marseille spend a ton of money so they should be spending a lot of money for a reason, which is being in the top four easily, top three if possible. If they can do that, that's success, if not then it is not, but no need to win the league, they are aware of that.

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.

Now Luis Enrique's main target is to do well in the champions league platform. PSG's opponents in the champions league are very strong. And for this reason , PSG has to give full effort in the Champions league matches. And this is why psg  is taking ligue 1 matches lightly  at the moment.

Since PSG is still at the top of the table , I am not too worried  about them. PSG is still ahead in the title race. Perhaps if psg  loses the top spot in the table, then Luis enrique will take Ligue 1 matches seriously. But I am sure psg will win the Ligue 1 title. It is unlikely that teams like Monaco and Marseille will keep their  performance stable in the entire match. We will gradually  see the deterioration of the  performance of the teams and they will fall behind.

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.

This is no more ordinary, like Paris Saint Germain is actually not playing to my expectations, the question here is can they actually win the French ligue 1 title? Because with what I'm seeing it won't be that easy for them as no team is ready to be left behind, and I'd love it more seeing another different team winning the league this season, so by next season they will show more seriousness, or should I say they focus more on the champions League like they'd love to defend it as it will be very much interesting to see.

Paris Saint-Germain is still at the top of the French league table despite dropping points. Of course, we all expected them to win every match, just like Bayern Munich, but Paris Saint-Germain has suffered a surprising drop in points. They're currently only one point adrift of second place. Furthermore, if Marseille hadn't dropped points in a few league matches, Marseille, not Paris Saint-Germain, would be leading the table right now. We're currently witnessing a very exciting race for the top spot in France, and it feels like a dream come true. We all expected Paris Saint-Germain to lead the league on its own, but for now, things are very competitive.

In Ligue 1, they believe that despite some poor performances, Paris Saint-Germain always has a chance to return to the top of the table. That's why the coach is more focused on every match in the Champions League. And we can see in PSG's last five matches in Ligue 1, where they have only managed two wins and three draws, for a total of nine points. However, it's unfortunate that other teams trying to dislodge Paris Saint-Germain's dominance have also seen their performance decline.

And regarding PSG's Champions League match, it's clear that in the fourth round, they face a tough opponent, as they host the Bundesliga giants at the Park des Princesses Stadium. With PSG playing at home, Luis Enrique's team is slightly favored to send Bayern Munich home empty-handed.

I was surprised when PSG and Marseille drew their last match in Ligue 1 a few days ago, even though they both played against weak teams. But after I read news about how referees in the Turkish Super League are involving themselves in gambling, it made me to believe that some of the referees in Ligue 1 are also involving themselves in gambling, which I believe is influencing some of the unexpected results we have seen this season.

[red4slash]

Now with the draw that occurred, Lyon can take advantage of the situation to be able to catch up with the points owned by PSG which will make the competition a little more pronounced in Ligue 1 although maybe for the final result it will always be guessed who the champion is.
In terms of performance on the field PSG is also not bad but they are always missed which makes the results not what they expected.

I think that this kind of championship is one-way and therefore PSG will win and win again and it seems like they will never stop, they have the strongest team in the league and this makes everything easier, with money the whole show ends and the only chance to see it is in the championship league

We can't deny this in Ligue 1 as when PSG's resources are so vastly different from those of other clubs it's natural for the competition to be onesided. In this case if we want healthy competition we can only hope that PSG won't be at their best preventing them from achieving the full points they've achieved in recent matches.

However, last week I felt a bit disappointed for Lyon They had the opportunity to gain momentum and equal PSG's points tally but they failed to capitalize on it. So, even though PSG have had a few less than ideal games (draws) they remain at the top and the points gap remains.

[bitgolden]

With the way it is right now, there are six teams all within one game distance. Lens is at sixth place and has 19 points, whereas PSG is at the lead and has 21 points. Meaning if PSG loses the next game and Lens wins the next game then Lens would be higher than PSG, it's very close as we can see.

However, we also all know that won't happen, we are not going to see PSG be that bad and while it is close right now, it is going to be a lot bigger gap soon enough, we just need time from them. I know this is sad and can't be done differently, but we should be able to see some changes one way or another. I get that it is going to be a tough period for all of us, but it can be done in a good way hopefully. We just need to wait and see how it will change, it's that simple.

Before being coached by Luis Enrique, PSG was also always dominant in the French league. And Enrique has won every trophy that PSG has competed for, from the French league title and the French Cup, to the most coveted trophy for PSG last season, the Champions League. So this season, PSG has no main target because they have already won all the titles.

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.

Strasbourg Alsace  football team played very well in the last match as they did 3 goals in that match and that match was one sided because opponent team could not do any goal in this match and we saw one dominant team in this match which was Strasbourg Alsace . Panichelli was a person who did first goal in this match and he did this goal at 46 minutes of the match when it was requirement of the match.Nanasi was a person who did second goal of the match and he did this goal at 55 minutes of the match and he made match for the team and we saw excellent effort by players and they did back to back goals in this match. Barco was a person who did last goal of the match and he did this goal at 60 minutes of the match.

It's not belief; it's the reality in Ligue 1 because PSG always wins the Ligue 1 title after some poor performance at some point in a season. After PSG managed to earn nine points in their last five matches, they are still at the top of the league table, which is to tell you that no matter how PSG perform in Ligue 1, they remain the favorite to win the title.

[Adbitco]

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.

It's funny though that you're making this a point of discussion when you within yourself already knows the outcome in the French league even before the season kicks off. It's not even something I have to worry my head around because PSG can go on and lose the next 5 games in a row and they will still be favourites to win the league. 38 matches is whole lot and we know that PSG has no competition once their players are back few weeks from now. Just before February qst, check the table again and see for yourself if you will only be seeing one point gap, lol.

This is true because even though PSG's performances were a bit disappointing at the start of the season, they ultimately emerged as title contenders. PSG's strength is unmatched by any other club, and that's a major problem in this league. Entering the second half of the season, the performance of several challengers has actually declined, allowing PSG to regain their dominance. Although some results haven't gone smoothly for PSG, they are still the favorites in the title race, and I doubt any other team can take the trophy from PSG.

Maybe PSG doesn't want to take any extra tension with the Ligue 1 competition at the moment and they want to focus their full attention on the Champions League. I like their strategy because they don't need to give too much importance to the French League because if they can perform their normal way, they will win the title, but the challenge for them is always to win the Champions League title, although last season we saw PSG win the Champions League title for the first time under Luis Enrique. Maybe they will try their best to retain this title next season and will fight with all their might this season. Initially, I thought Liverpool was strong in the Champions League, but they haven't been doing well recently, but in terms of doing well in the Champions League, PSG and Real Madrid are the names that come first.

Ligue 1 games week 11 PSG facing Nice and if losses three points again will drop from top standings if Monaco, Marseille and Strasbourg win this games week match. Indeed still lead the top standings PSG just left few points only from Monaco and Marseille just getting draw against Nice or loss three points automatically PSG loss first standings position. PSG performance not balance yet in Champion League easily defeating top team such as Barcelona, Leverkusen and Atalanta but when playing at Ligue 1 easily holding draw by mediocre team, its decision from Luis Henrique focus for Champion League match than domestic league?
If loss points every match in domestic league and rival teams such as Monaco or Marseille have stable performance not sure yet PSG will dominance Ligue 1 for this season. PSG not underestimate with domestic league and must playing full team for every domestic league match although this middle week have Champion League match against Bayern Munich but don't make huge rotation against Nice today at Ligue 1 match.

[Velvet78]

What do you think about Lyon against Brest tomorrow night? After getting an unexpected draw against Paris FC, do you expect them to get a win? 

Honestly their odds look really attracting which is 2.28!    Brest are simply horrible this season. And they haven't been able to get a win for 4 weeks in the league. I think they won't get points here either.

Don't be amazed that PSG is losing and drawing games; a single club wouldn't dominate a league forever. Last season they had a smooth ride but now Monaco, Marseille and Strasbourg are giving them a hot chase.

These teams might be doing well now but how long would it last. If they are consistent enough, PSG might end up losing their title. These teams have one thing in common, they are all playing in a European competition, so they might have thesame schedule. But PSG still have better chances as they have more quality players.

And Enrique has won every trophy that PSG has competed for, from the French league title and the French Cup, to the most coveted trophy for PSG last season, the Champions League. So this season, PSG has no main target because they have already won all the titles.

Although PSG won every title last season, this season they will still strive for a treble like last season. Because when PSG can once again be the best in the Champions League and Ligue 1, the team will be judged completely differently by all other teams and by their own fans. Currently, PSG still leads Ligue 1 and still has the potential to advance further in the Champions League, so they still have the same target as before, as it is also part of a dream they will never forget.

Last season was one of the best moments for PSG as they were won all the titles they needed to win following their outstanding performance this season is still very new they are doing well in the league but not as expected they will still need to do more if they want to defend and retain all the three titles they won last season, the league championship and cup cwn still be achieved by the team if they keep dominating other teams but they have a bigger battle in the champions League cause other teams are looking very stronger this season so their targets is the same they should work towards winning it all.

The season has not even moved to the middle and you all think PSG has already started to play below your expectations! Oh just wow, how you guys think the other teams in the league ain't there to win games and lift the trophy. Being a defending champion is no small task, especially a double championship title in two different competitive leagues. Now unlike other seasons PSG have to battle to defend their UCL title and the league1 and this has to be strategically done. For me, PSG are doing great on both sides and I can only wait till the middle of the season to start evaluating if they are meeting expectations or not.
