French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Mayor of ogba]

I believe Luis Enrique knows that Ousmane Dembele is prone to injury, and if he gives Ousmane Dembele less playing time, it will limit how Ousmane Dembele sustains injury, but he's not adopting the method because Ousmane Dembele is an important player to him, and since Ousmane Dembele is the best player of PSG, he's playing Ousmane Dembele often so that he can win personal awards.

As an important player Luis Enrique already understands the risks but if he doesn't play much how can PSG continue to perform well without his presence unless in January PSG recruits a player who has almost the same potential as Dembele then Luis Enrique can rotate so as to reduce the risk of Dembele's injury, but actually that also doesn't guarantee that the player will be injury free if he is careless and doesn't pay attention to the opponent he can also get injured because of bad luck no one knows it all depends on fate and his caution in playing football.

Dembele needs to stay injury-free. A long-term injury would prevent him from competing in the World Cup at the end of the year. I'm sure missing the World Cup would be very upsetting for him. Therefore, he'll need to play with more restraint. It's unfortunate that a player who achieved so much success with Paris Saint-Germain and won one of the most prestigious awards last year has been injured this year.

It will be difficult for Ousmane Dembele to stay injury free because he's prone to injury. If Ousmane Dembele missed the World Cup because of injury, he will surely be upset because no player will be happy to miss playing in the World Cup for his country when he knows he made it to the World Cup.

By the way, based on the latest information, Dembele will likely recover quickly and be able to rejoin the team in time for the Champions League match against Tottenham, that's expected.

Before the UCL match, Enrique likely won't push Dembele too hard against Le Havre. This is one of the best ways to ensure Dembele is fully prepared for the UCL.

Nice vs Marseille

Marseille is currently second on the table after PSG while the home team they're playing against is nineth on the table with minus one goal. Despite Marseille being the visiting team today, I have no much doubt in their victory considering the performance of both teams but it's also possible Nice might turn things around.

So what is your take on this match?

The first half is underway, with Marseille leading  2 goals. Marseille might have a better chance of winning this match, with a relatively narrow margin. Nice doesn't seem to be having much trouble against Marseille, and their resistance could result in a draw if Marseille makes defensive mistakes in the second half. If Marseille wants to take all 3 points from this match, De Zerbi will need to employ a different strategy in the second half to further strengthen their defense.

Dembele frequent injuries have also become a problem for PSG, as since arriving from Barcelona, ​​he has become a key player and has often helped the team achieve victory. Luis Enrique must pay more attention to his condition to prevent his injury from recurring, especially since his career history is very often in the treatment room. Giving Dembele a rest in less important matches is the right solution to maintain his fitness, especially since PSG schedule is still very busy.

From the beginning, he was a glass leg where he got injured quite often and for this season it means he has 3 injuries in 12 weeks of Ligue 1 rolling.

But indeed when he was on the field even though he had glass legs but he always gave his best and even always became an important part of PSG's current success even his achievements last season where he got the Ballon d'Or became proof for Dembele.
Some news on social media at this time seems quite interesting where it is rumored that Dembele is recovering quickly and of course this is a very good wind for PSG because after all they do need players in a schedule that is quite busy now.
But on the one hand it could be that this should also be a special notice for Enrique considering Dembele's vulnerability so he at least needs to be careful and not force it before his condition is completely recovered.

Paul Pogba is finally returning to football. After receiving a 4 year ban for doping, which was later reduced to 1.5 years, Pogba terminated his contract with Juventus and signed with Monaco. He has been included in Monaco's squad for this weekend's match against Rennes.
Monaco, which has lost its last 2 matches is hoping for a win and is eagerly awaiting Pogba's return. If Pogba plays as well as he used to, it will be a fantastic transfer for Monaco.

[FanEagle]

at least they can truly make a full recovery now. International breaks, frankly, are a time of great concern for the players. Because, there will definitely be top players injured due to international team matches. There are already many top players, even key players from top clubs, who have suffered injuries due to this international break. So, on the one hand, you're right; they can rest during that international break.

By the way, based on the latest information, Dembele will likely recover quickly and be able to rejoin the team in time for the Champions League match against Tottenham, that's expected.

It is of course great to hear him coming back, however this pushing yourself to limit and get injured thing is getting more common. Rodri and Dembele both got injured after winning Ballon D'or for example, they push themselves to limit, for club and national team, and eventually they get so tired that they get injured.

This is why I highly doubt that they are going to be that great, we should be looking into this as something that is doing not so great at all. Dembele coming back is obviously awesome, but will he stay healthy? That is the question, if I am not wrong he played a game this season, meaning he started injured, got better, got injured again and that should be the risky part, if he stays healthy then great news, but if he is coming back, only to be injured a few games later, that is a huge problem.

[PokerBetting]

Currently, four top PSG players are suffering from serious injuries. All four are key players for PSG. Doué and Dembele have just recovered from injuries and are likely to be injured again. Hakimi also suffered an ankle sprain and will likely be back i

Good and bad news for PSG after several main players getting injury, but bad news looking for injury getting by Désiré Doué and Achraf Hakimi have absent around two months later and not playing for PSG until 7 to 9 matches. Actually several weeks later is busy schedule matches for PSG must playing at Champion League and play well at domestic league to make gap many points from AS Monaco or Marseille.

But have good news with Nuno Mendes and Dembele injury, due international break both of them have many time for recovering and possibility will return back at Champion league match next middle week against Tottenham Hotspur, in domestic league against Le Havre I don't think difficult for Luis Henrique get three points indeed make several rotation giving rest for main players after playing for international break match.

Yes, at least they can truly make a full recovery now. International breaks, frankly, are a time of great concern for the players. Because, there will definitely be top players injured due to international team matches. There are already many top players, even key players from top clubs, who have suffered injuries due to this international break. So, on the one hand, you're right; they can rest during that international break.

By the way, based on the latest information, Dembele will likely recover quickly and be able to rejoin the team in time for the Champions League match against Tottenham, that's expected.

If Dembele recovers but immediately starts as a starter and plays full time, the risk of his injury recurring is very high, and since he hasn't trained, he certainly won't be in tune with his team right away. I think coming in as a substitute in a big match like the Champions League is already a good thing rather than risking his injury getting worse. Certainly, since he just recovered, his performance and physical condition are not the same as before the injury because he hasn't trained for a long time. And against Tottenham Hotspur, the match will surely be tight and require prime physical condition; otherwise, the potential for injury again exists.

Before a footballer can be certified to start a game the medical group of the team must have checked him properly and confirmed that he is fully fit to start.
Why most times injured players don't go full 90min is that they could be match rusty or may not have the stamina yet for that but getting same injury is not the priority reason for bringing them out of the game.

[Agbam]

For a player like Ousmane Dembele who plays a free role and is mostly found on either flanks, it would be relatively unproductive for any coach to teach him how to protect himself on the pitch because he's mostly facing defenders who consider him a threat and would always pose a threat to him in return due to his pacey style, but substituting him in matches that are already won or reserving him on matches that do not really seem important would help a lot in curbing his injury problems.

Dembele is one of the most important players in PSG's squad. Since he is in the center of attack, Dembele naturally faces bad attacks from the opponent's defenders. Besides, his fitness is not good. We have seen that Dembele used to face a lot of injuries in La Liga too. So this is nothing new. Luis Enrique should now not keep Dembele in the starting XI in less important matches. This is the only way to reduce the tendency of injuries. Otherwise, Dembele will face more injuries since his fitness is not good.

Dembele frequent injuries have also become a problem for PSG, as since arriving from Barcelona, ​​he has become a key player and has often helped the team achieve victory. Luis Enrique must pay more attention to his condition to prevent his injury from recurring, especially since his career history is very often in the treatment room. Giving Dembele a rest in less important matches is the right solution to maintain his fitness, especially since PSG schedule is still very busy.

PSG are also struggling to maintain their position at the top of the standings, currently only 2 points ahead of Marseille and Lens. The next match will be very easy for PSG to win because Le Havre is not a difficult team to beat. Luis Enrique must direct his players to win the first half to make it easier for him to rotate the team in the second half so that the players are not too tired when facing Tottenham in the Champions League.

Oussmane Dembele we all know him too well, always going to the hospital, he’s an injury prone player and a good attacker and playmaker but his light was always diminished while he was at Barcelona.

He came to Paris St Germain and became a key player and gave an outstanding performance to earn him the prestigious Ballon D’or and after that it seems he’s back to Status quo.

This is his natural state, the Universe aligned for him last season and he gave us his best, I’m not sure we might see that explosive Dembele again even if he recovers. The Dembele we saw feels like a one Season wonder to me.

[Roseline492]

Keeping Dembele in less important matches should be the arrangement between the coach and the player untill he gets back to his normal fitness he is an important player to his team due to his role and if they keep using him in all their games they may not always have him in their importance matches the PSG coach should do everything possible to reserve his best player for the champions League games if he still want his team to go far in the competition if not Dembele's injury will affect the team and make them to lose matches that should be to their advantage if he was available for the game.

A player cannot even risk that when the healing is not complete yet because if you are suffering on injury and you use it to play you could be causing another problem to other place of your body through the injury, uncertified player fitness from injury should be kept as an injury player till he received a full recovery. Dembele can't be kept to perform only on  the weak match, his resuming will be on all the important match, even Saka came back after sometime away from football but when he regain, he started from important match so that's how good players are not neglected because of anything.

[$weetne$$]

I think that's the height of underestimation. This game may be a blessing to risk takers because how on earth will they give Lyon 2 odd? Well, it still does not guarantee anything success in the game. Auxurre has won only two games so far this season. Will they be able to make it three?

Let's talk about this game tonight. Ogc Nice and Marseille of which Marseille are the visitors. So far, Marseille is 8 points above Nice but there's something peculiar about Nice and Marseille games, Nice is their nightmare. Being in their home, will they add to their wins over Marseille? Nice have won 2 out of their last 4 meetings with one draw. I will still give it up for Marseille for a goal win margin.

I said it before this game started and now Marseille is already leading by 5 goals and Nice is got one 1 goal already, Nice is  at home and yet they could not make use of their advantage, Marseille has got so much dominance in this game that their win is almost very certain in this game.

I just hope that what happened to Rodri after winning the ballon d'Or last season should not happen to Ousmane Dembele because since he won the ballon d'Or, his performance has really dropped and now he is facing injury just same way it happened to Rodri though his injury isn't that serious, but he deserves a complete recovery before he can be fit to feature in matches so i don't think that PSG will gamble his healing process by playing him in minor games because they know how important he is to the team and they won't allow anything that will worsen the situation and send him to a long injury. His injury is supposed to heal properly before he can be available to play

[LGD2Business]

Marseille are on the rise, they scored 5 goals away at Nice. Aubameyang, Greenwood, Weah and Paixao scored the goals. They secured their 3rd consecutive victory. Marseille has risen to the top of the table, albeit with a game in hand. It's nice to finally see a leader other than PSG. Marseille is the only team this season that has beaten PSG. Hopefully, they keep it up and maybe chase the title until the final weeks. PSG's squad is the best in the league by a wide margin no doubt, but at least if there were a few teams that could challenge them, it would make for a more exciting league to watch.

[Slow death]

I didn't watch that game.



But I confess I'm very surprised by the number of goals Olympique scored; they scored 5 goals in the first half alone. Olympique managed to score 2 goals. I followed the game on Google because I was too lazy to watch it live, but when Olympique scored 2 goals in the first half, I thought they would relax in the second half and the game would end with only 2 goals.

After the first half, I stopped watching the game for a few minutes, and when I returned, Olympique had already scored 4 goals. I wondered what was happening to Nice, but I didn't watch the game anyway. In any case, this victory puts PSG under pressure because the PSG coach has developed the bad habit of disregarding Ligue 1 when they have Champions League games.

Marseille has the players to be very competitive at the Ligue un but unfortunately they’ve not been as competitive as expected. Mason Greenwood really is something else Manchester United lost a gem on that one. Now they’re temporarily league leaders until after PSG plays their game. Honestly I don’t think it’s a lot of pressure for PSG and Luis Enrique even if they lose their next game which I’m sure they won’t, Marseille or any other club can’t win the league. OGC Nice were very disappointing today Conceding 5 at home, I wasn’t expecting that at all.

That's right, Marseille has taken back the top spot in the standings temporarily from PSG, and in my opinion, this makes the competition in Ligue 1 look more competitive this season. If PSG surprisingly suffers a defeat against Le Havre, then Marseille will remain safe at the top of the table. Many people hope Marseille can maintain their consistency until the end of the season, making the title race in Ligue 1 even more intense. On the other hand, I didn’t expect Nice to experience such a decline this season, they have lost three consecutive matches, and most recently were thrashed by Marseille with a score of 5–1.

Marseille have pulled back to the Ligue One title race and it's going to be really competitive for Paris Saint-Germain because they wouldn't let down their eagle, winning is compulsory and also for Marseille. Olympique Marseille heavy win today was as a result of amazing performance coming from the players. We talk about Mason Greenwood performance who's outstanding and was named MOTM after his goals that helped Marseille win Nice 5-1. This is the kind of players we're talking about and they're always rare in types and value. Mason Greenwood is currently the highest goal scorer on the France Ligue One table and he's keeping it tighten and his fittest is 100%.

I agree with you, Marseille did very well last night to get that victory against Nice, not 1 not 2 or 3 but 5 goals was scored by Marseille in that encounter, this is how I expect them to get the business done, go out their and be more dominant like PSG always do every season against every team in the Ligue 1. Honestly I sure hope they (Marseille) keep up with this winning mentality to help them get close to winning the title this season, at least the pressure will be on PSG, they hardly play under pressure but they will show that desperation to win to cover the point gap. I expect PSG to roast Le Havre just as Marseille did to Nice, it will be an easy one for the champions.

Greenwood's performance has improved significantly, and I see him as a dangerous striker for opponents. The big win in that match was also due to his brilliant performance. Marseille will have to be at their best if they want to compete for the title with PSG, because if they can't keep winning every game, PSG will once again dominate. Currently, Marseille has managed to occupy the first position in the standings, but I don't think it will last long because PSG will play their 13th match against Le Havre, so it won't be difficult for PSG to get full points in that match.

This is interesting to see Marseille top their Ligue 1 table currently, and this is what we really want to be witnessing on this side of the league, a situation like this that keeps fans and other football enthusiasts  wondering what's going to happen in the league table, and not a situation that has become a predictable event that the dominating club PSG will top the league table, and regardless of the match result, win, lose, or draw.

As an important player Luis Enrique already understands the risks but if he doesn't play much how can PSG continue to perform well without his presence unless in January PSG recruits a player who has almost the same potential as Dembele then Luis Enrique can rotate so as to reduce the risk of Dembele's injury, but actually that also doesn't guarantee that the player will be injury free if he is careless and doesn't pay attention to the opponent he can also get injured because of bad luck no one knows it all depends on fate and his caution in playing football.

Dembele needs to stay injury-free. A long-term injury would prevent him from competing in the World Cup at the end of the year. I'm sure missing the World Cup would be very upsetting for him. Therefore, he'll need to play with more restraint. It's unfortunate that a player who achieved so much success with Paris Saint-Germain and won one of the most prestigious awards last year has been injured this year.

How can Ousmane Dembele be free from injury if he is still used by the coach to strengthen PSG when he recovers later? If during this injury and is absent until an unknown time but PSG is still fine without him then the coach will not continue to use him to avoid further risks because the world cup is also very important for his country so maybe Luis Enrique will give in a little and put aside his ego to not always use Dembele, he is indeed a very important player so currently PSG is very devastated by the injury suffered by his that player.
