French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[martinom]

Dembele is a key and influential player for PSG. He was the cornerstone of psg resurgence last season, winning the UCL trophy. However, He has been plagued by injuries this season, which will impact psg performance against strong teams. Although psg is still the favorite to win the Ligue 1 title, If they aren't consistent, I think another team could break their dominance in the Title race.

Of course, there are many quality substitutes, but they aren't as good as dembele. I think PSG owners will look to bring in another great player when the winter transfer window opens. If they want to recruit a player ready to make a Significant contribution to the front line, I think PSG will sign Osimhen.

Dembele is a player like few others, he was the rebirth of PSG, as you say and you say very well, i think that Paris Saint-Germain should never deprive themselves of a player like that, it's so rare to find one like that, and when you find him, you shouldn't let him go, he's truly a great player.

Lyon finished this part of the league at the 7th position before the international break. They are dropping down more and more in the standings... At first they surprised probably most of us by a solid start. 

But now things are reversing which shouldn't still be surprising that much. Because they barely saved themselves from a relegation due to financial problems. They lost some important names meanwhile. Therefore it is difficult to expect consistency from them.

[Just Say]

At the top of the Ligue 1 table you will find PSG sitting pretty with 2 points above Marseille, the point gap is very close and that I will agree with very well but PSG still remains at the top up until this time, they have not been so awesome with their performance but they have at same time.not been awful orr terrible either so they still have a firm hope even while channeling most of their efforts to the champions league, they possibly know their way around the Ligue 1 enough not to bother or stress too much.

I hope Luis Enrique has plans for the Champions League and Ligue 1. It's not always possible for a team to focus on both leagues at the same time. We watched the first few matches of the league where they didn't seem too destructive, they seemed a bit tired. Maybe it was because of some other busy schedule or because of their consistent great performances. However, they are now top of Ligue 1 and are 2 points ahead of Marseille. Very soon, this gap will widen and PSG will return to consistency.

Well, can be reasonably considered the former Spanish club manager has plans for European competition and the new Ligue 1 event but their games never seem to be destructive. It has to be repeatedly brought up that despite being the defending champions, they were unable to defend well against Bayern Munich, despite this they continue to have ambiguous  performances in their own league. However, it has to be accepted that this team is plagued by injuries to their players, so they need to improve rather than rely on this excuse, they also created an unpleasant situation among the fans when they played against Olympique Lyonnais, because their clash there was like that of an underdeveloped team. You are right that their gap will increase very soon and PSG will return to consistency, even this team must be aware that the defeat of just one match is pushing them towards the bottom of the Champions League.

Osmane Dembele he is a real inspiration to any struggling player that is being looked down on, I can still remember his hard time at FC Barcelona he was mocked by his team mates and fans, but now he's the talk of the season with a well deserved balloon D'or win kudos to his courageous ambition, I really think Paris Saint Germain should get another player like him in the January transfer window so they can stay up strong in the UEFA Champions League if they are to defend the title because I'm quite certain they will win the French ligue 1 title no doubt.

I am yet to find a player that can possibly replace him in the French Ligue 1, he is exceptional and very brilliant with his performances, he is an asset to PSG and I believe they would love to get a second Dembele but I have not seen one yet, but it is very Important they gwt someone this January that can always stand in his place if the need be because it is going to be a really crucial one for the team if he is absent for any reason.

The truth is, Luchito's display of football was something out of this world, It's a shame that the referee ruined the game by giving a red card to the Bayern star it spoiled the whole spectacle, It's a shame about the referees' performance in the UCL and in the local leagues. It really makes you want to vomit to see so much corruption from that body of judges However, Bayern has already shown that they are very good , and watch out, they can win this UCL.

I think there are referees who should seriously stay home to avoid causing damage and this was exactly the case.
It's clear that not all referees are like this but this one, like the one in question, causes irreparable damage to teams and matches.

[banana33]

PSG will win the league easily, that part is guaranteed. They do not have to care about this league at al, the way they are playing and how big they are that means they are going to win once again. A lille type of situation will not happen anytime soon I am sure of it.

The part they are worried about is UCL, because we have known them for a while, and they have been good, that part is true, but they failed to win the UCL for so long and now that they won it, there is no guarantee they can repeat it. Do they have to? Well they don't, they already got it, but failing to win for another 10+ years means they are overspending for just a league title they could win with half the money. Which means, the yare spending this much more than all other French teams to get UCL, and while maybe not this season, they have to repeat sometime soon.

He will certainly win it, but that shouldn't lull them, too much security could play nasty surprises and change the tide.

No one is unbeatable, everyone can give in sooner or later, the threshold of attention and concentration must never waver, you must always stay on top of things.
Will they be able to keep up with all the competitions where they are participating?

[Faazs]

Honesly i think that Paris Saint-Germain is concentrating on other matches that they consider more important and this is evident but this does not mean that the matches can be lost, they will return from the international break with a much higher level, I am very sure of it.

Currently, four key players PSG rely on are injured, and it's unknown when two of them will return to the team. The other two will be back in the game soon. However, if Dembele and Mendes aren't able to return anytime soon, it will certainly make it a bit difficult for PSG to find replacements. While replacements are available, the quality is clearly different, making it more difficult for PSG to win when they return to the Champions League. As for Ligue 1, I think PSG is still capable of handling every team and achieving consistent wins.

If they want to recruit a player ready to make a Significant contribution to the front line, I think PSG will sign Osimhen.

Osihmen would definitely be a very good signing for psg, but he is currently still at galatasaray and could be bought with a handsome offer I guess, that could greatly affect their attacking strength positively, I see them winning the league still these season but I doubt if they could do the double with the champions league as injuries hunt their top players and that could affect their consistency though their game play is still top notch, if players likely return from injuries in time that could boost their chances but for now, i don't see dem winning it.

PSG has had a rather modest start to the season, with a win rate of just 66.6% so far. This is a far cry from last season's stats, where PSG won 76% of their points (but then again, there were games where PSG seemed completely unmotivated). It is noteworthy that Marseille now have an even better goal difference. It's naive to hope that the "intrigue" will last long (bookmakers estimate PSG's odds at around 1.14), but it's still much better than in the Bundesliga.

The competition in the French league is easier than in the German league. There's almost no team that could rival Paris Saint-Germain. If we were to name a few, we'd say Marseille, Monaco, and Lyon. However, many teams in the Bundesliga pose a threat to Bayern Munich. Therefore, perhaps there's a difference between the two leagues. It's true that Paris Saint-Germain hasn't started the French league well, but they have such a good squad that they even have a chance of winning every match they play until the end of the year. This possibility seems realistic because they have such a good squad. However, their Champions League ambitions mean that they have to field a substitute squad in some matches in the French league, which could lead to negative results for them.

Honestly, I don't see any differences between the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 in terms of title competition. Bayern have no rivals. Dortmund? They're a clown team that kills bettors. The rest are even worse. Miracles like Leverkusen happen once every 50 years, even in the Premier League, Leicester won the title. And if you look at the reality, in both the Bundesliga and Ligue 1, the favorites have only missed out on one title each over the past 10 years. This doesn't look like competition at all.

The referees do what they can and not all of them are consistent with their performances. Luchito's was something that led to something that can be considered a mistake. It's clear that just as players make mistakes, referees also make mistakes and there's nothing wrong with that.

It will be difficult to get a player with the quality of Dembele. It's not a matter of money, but related to the possibility of a deal to secure a starting spot in the squad, which might be requested by the player being brought in. Because if Dembele doesn't have fitness issues, he will always be the first choice. 
What PSG might do is get a player whose quality is perhaps slightly below Dembele, or look for a younger player to develop at PSG.

But now things are reversing which shouldn't still be surprising that much. Because they barely saved themselves from a relegation due to financial problems. They lost some important names meanwhile. Therefore it is difficult to expect consistency from them.

Due to the inconsistent reasons of other teams, PSG always dominated Ligue 1. Initially, Lyon performed very well, but after going through several matches, they often lost points and fell to 7th place before the international break. Now they will have a hard time competing with PSG because they have a 7 point gap.

Marseille and Lens are currently closest to PSG, but I'm not convinced they'll consistently perform well. Entering the second half of the season, the points gap will likely widen, and PSG will ultimately win the title again.

[dollyamo]

I've just watched highlights of Olympique Lyon Vs PSG and the game looked quite intense.
PSG had a massive advantage in ball possession (71%), but when it came to scoring opportunities, it was pretty much even. I think a spilt of points would be a fair result, but PSG managed to shift the result in their favour by scoring a 90+5 minute winner.

Both Marseille and Lens with easy wins, meaning both are still only 2 points behind PSG.

This is the beauty of football, until the last second on the pitch matches can change, results can be overturned in a very short time.
Unexpected events are those that change the perspective of vision even among bettors. Paradoxically, I was losing my bet and instead I realize with great enthusiasm that I had won it.

[Smack That Ace]

I would say that Dembele has been reborn with the help of Luis rnrique. He was a complete failure with Barcelona. He failed to play well in his first season with psg. Dembele  was able to score only 3 goals. But in the last season, Dembele was in the best form of his career.
He scored 21 goals and 7 assists in 29 matches in Ligue 1. He  also performed brilliantly on the Champions League platform. Dembele scored 8 goals and  6 assists. We have never seen such a wonderful  performance from Dembele in the past.

But now things are reversing which shouldn't still be surprising that much. Because they barely saved themselves from a relegation due to financial problems. They lost some important names meanwhile. Therefore it is difficult to expect consistency from them.

They can still improve if their coach can give them more training that will make the players to start  understanding each other in the field, because that few time they spend with their country players have changed some things that will make their performance to drop little in Lyon. Lyon have a good coach despite this situation occur to make Lyon to drop down below 7th position.

I have confidence that they will still display what will make them to rise above 4th position, because their coach is capable to revive the players to improve, but we all know that PSG will still repeat what happened last season to lift this trophy.

[m4r1o]

I feel sorry for them because these are players who hugely participated for them last season. Dembele,  Doue, Mandes and Hakimi. Didn't just score goals, they are effective ball carriers who have helped support the tactics of Paris Saint Germain manager. I do think the available players can win the next three games they will be playing but the game against Tottenham in the champions league competition is the most important of them all. Do you all recall how they went hard on themselves during the super cup finals at the start of this season. Thomas Franks will be looking forward for a revenge

We must accept things as they are, the decisions made and the missed opportunities.
Certainly excellent players, in fact PSG is still one of the feared teams both outside and inside the league at the moment.
But poor choices could negatively impact performance, and everything done so far could vanish.

As a matter of fact, Dembele still remains the most important player in the PSG squad, his presence in the pitch makes a huge difference and he always strives to give his all whenever he features for the team, the only problem that I believe Dembele has had to deal with is his frequent injuries but in terms of performance Dembele has no match in the PSG squad, he was very instrumental in PSG's triumph in the UCL last season and continues to do same for the capital club this season as well.

But now things are reversing which shouldn't still be surprising that much. Because they barely saved themselves from a relegation due to financial problems. They lost some important names meanwhile. Therefore it is difficult to expect consistency from them.

There are many teams that are in top form right now, I see there are small names that should not be in the top standings such as Lens, Strasbourg & Lille. Given the current situation, I don't think 7th place is bad (at least for now), but if Lyon continues to show inconsistency, we can't expect much from them. Last season, they finished 6th & I wouldn't be surprised if they finished even worse this season. Let's just see how it ends.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Although PSG previously dominated Ligue 1, their style of play has changed dramatically since Luis Enrique took over. The success of winning the UCL trophy proves that PSG's abilities have improved rapidly since Enrique took over. Although this season's competition looks more competitive compared to the previous season, PSG is still too powerful for other teams. In the UCL they were just defeated by Bayern Munich, but that doesn't mean their chances are closed, as the defending champions they will try to give their rivals a competition to defend the title.

There's no doubt about that, and it's also certain they'll win Ligue 1 again this season However, as you say, Bayern beat them, but that doesn't change anything because Luis Enrique is analyzing every mistake and will know how to correct it in due time This is all a learning process, The good thing about PSG is that every time they lose, they seem to come out with more Technique and more grit.

Dembele had a truly magnificent year last year. However, he hasn't achieved what he wanted yet this year. After winning Europe's top performance award last year, I expected better this year. While there's been a slight dip in his form, he remains one of Paris Saint-Germain's strongest players. His absence is greatly felt by Paris Saint-Germain. If he can overcome his injury problems, I believe he's one of the best players in the French league.
