French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[ginsan]

Looks like PSG finally has a real challenger for the title this season. Marseille are playing attacking football, and I really like this team. I think I might actually become a fan of this club. Yesterday they smashed Nice away 5–1. Aubameyang and Greenwood combined for 3 goals and 2 assists. It seems like this duo is going to make Marseille fans happy many more times this season with their scoring form

Marseille is indeed a challenger every season, the previous season also Marseille was in the runner-up standings to second place, and this time the difference is not so far away, unlike before which was very difficult to chase, this time they have hopes of taking the winner of the league 1 seat.

But it seems that PSG will also not remain silent, they have very good players, their depth is far from what Marseille can beat, but if PSG loses its consistency it can be a good opportunity for Marseille, sometimes PSG also has a messy match.

Marseille is overshadowed by the win, I would probably agree very much if Marseille won because PSG has dominated for too long, it is not good for the League.

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.

Olympique de Marseille football team performance was at top because doing 5 goals against Nice football team is not an easy work but they did it And we saw performance of Greenwood which was at top rank because he did 2 goals and made match one sided. Nice football team could do only 1 goal in this match and that was second last goal of the match And match was almost end .
 Aubameyang was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 11 minutes of the match and after that we saw more goal and second goal was match bender to one end .Opponent team performance was very weak in this match and stats of that team was also very bad in this match as their passes were less in this match.

Marseille is what we have been waiting to see in Ligue 1, and from all indications, that is what will happen this season, as they are now on fire. If you look at their performance in their game yesterday, you will believe that, because they are presently top of the table. If it was before that game, no one would have expected Marseille to score 5 goals, because Nice are also good. Even though it’s not enough, I was not expecting 5 goals.

Although now, Marseille and Lens are giving PSG a hard time in the league, which I hope continues. If the show happens, I don’t think PSG will have enough strength to fight in the Champions League anymore, which might leave them this season with nothing. To be honest, I want to see a new champion in Ligue 1 this season.

Well, this is the advantage of getting your ass kicked and abandoning all hope in the Champions League!
You can concentrate on a second-tier League and score in one match more goals against Nice than in 4 games in the Champiosn League!

Btw, it's Nice!!!
The one playing in the Europa League, with zero points, 4 defeats, oh wait... almost as bad as Marseille! 
Quite refreshing, every time I get angry at Serie A and call it a joke it's good to remember there is Ligue 1!
And with the memory of Marseille beating PSG it's even funnier!

Lol...
Let me translate this on fire for you in the last 5 matches
Marseille beats Nice 9th
Marseille beats Brest 15th
Marseille beats Auxerre 18th (last)
Marseille draws with Angers 13th
Marseille loses to Lens 2nd

Stops being some sort of "fire", isn't it?

This injury situation PSG has ended up giving them some headache at the league for sure, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up seeing them do worse, we should be expecting the situation to change with time and shouldn't be worried at all.

We are going to get a lot better results over time I am sure but PSG needs to realize these injuries are hurting them a lot and shouldn't rush players back. Like Dembele was barely getting back and they tried and he is injured again, let them stay at bench for a long time so that they can relax and rest a bit before they can play again. We are going to see this change with time and going to end up with a lot better result with time, just need to take a step back and rest them.

[redhack]

Rennes secured a crushing victory against Monaco. Undoubtedly Zakaria's red card contributed to the widening gap. I suppose the only bright spot for Monaco was Pogba's return to the pitch. Pogba entered the game in the 85th minute. We didn't see much but he will get more playing time going forward.
Monaco has lost 3 consecutive matches and will face PSG next week. What a fixture for them! The losing streak could extend to 4 matches. They are truly in a major crisis. At least they will aim to win the Pafos match midweek to boost morale in the Champions League.

[Abbatty]

3 games were played in the league today, most of the matches will be played tomorrow. Strassborg suffered a defeat away from, it was a very interesting game though I lost my gamble as I predicted Strassborg to win at least a half in this game. It was a game that had just one goal scored in it.

Monaco also suffered a huge defeat away from home, they lost to Rennes 4-1 which is pretty much unexpected, maybe the red card in this card played a huge part on the number of goals involved. Finally Paul Pogba make his return to football, not In the way he wanted but at least it feels good to play again.

PSG are currently playing and are already winning in the first half, it a match every one expect them to win, well I feel we will still have more goals in this game.

Leaving Dembele on the bench for too long actually has a negative impact on the club, and as far as I can remember, Dembele has improved and could at least feature for a few minutes to train and fully recover.
Perhaps Dembele doesn't need to play in Ligue 1 matches, and I think PSG is still very strong against other clubs, but in the Champions League, he needs to appear at least in the second half to help score in the final minutes without exerting too much energy

[FanEagle]

People thinking PSG worries about the league have not watched them play. You can have dembele missing the whole season and they will still be the best, there won't be anything to worry about at all.

Because they are that much better. We are going to see them do a wonderful job and we are not going to end up with a lot better result. We should be considering the situation and not really wondering how PSG could win the league or not, because for me it is clear that they are going to win again. Don't get me wrong Marseille built a good team but that doesn't mean that we are going to see a great team, it is going to be quite good for them on the long term but not looking like it is going to be such a big deal at all.

It is not a policy to feature injured players that are not fully recovered in a match despite how challenging the fixture, the best they can do before the week of the match is to apply every possible ways for the player to heal quickly, strong to play without having troubles, allowing an injured player to feature in a match will lead to even more injury that will take him longer time to recover.

PSG will be playing Tottenham in the Champions League, it is a match they can manage even without Dembele, there are good players that will cover for him. Already they are winning Le Harve 2:0 and it is another 3 points for them.

[macson]

I am not sure about the pressure on PSG. It is good for the competitiveness of the league, but I am almost certain that PSG will beat Le Havre today and return to the top. What surprises me even more is not only Marseille’s match yesterday but also how many goals they have managed to score after twelve rounds, only thirty three, while PSG have scored twenty four. I can't remember the last time someone was able to outperform them so much in this statistic after a third of the league matches. In any case it is good that PSG now have such a worthy opponent.

While there's no significant pressure on PSG, Marseille's recent scoring streak could pose a serious threat to their position. Marseille could continue to improve their goal scoring, making them even more confident and dangerous.

While PSG's overall stats and quality are superior, they can't afford to be complacent about Marseille's performance. They need to improve their goal scoring to maintain their position at the top of the table.

[Slow death]

Fortunately, the PSG coach took the game very seriously and they won, because most of the time when there's a Champions League game, the PSG coach has adopted a stance of disregarding Ligue 1 and focusing on the Champions League. But this time, since the second-placed team was very close to PSG, the coach had no choice but to play very seriously in the Ligue 1 game to win and maintain a considerable points lead. I hope he has learned that despite dominating Ligue 1, that's not always a guarantee of winning the title.

The coach knows what his team stands to lose if they don't take the game seriously to win since Marseille already won their game, the position between PSG and the second place team is still 2 points I don't know how the manager of PSG is going to use his players to make show they do not drop points in the league because of their tight schedule in the champions League, of they make any mistakes they could end up losing both the league title and finishing as the best team in the champions League competition they just need to find away to balance their performance.

Marseille is overshadowed by the win, I would probably agree very much if Marseille won because PSG has dominated for too long, it is not good for the League.

Following Marseille's resounding 5-1 victory over Nice, which temporarily moved Marseille up to first place, PSG finally returned to first place in Ligue 1 with a victory over Le Havre. PSG secured a convincing 3-0 victory, despite Le Havre's lack of resistance.

PSG dominated the match, recording 24 shots and 11 on target. Only three goals were scored in that match.

Luis Enrique once again successfully led PSG to take over the top of the table from Marseille, after defeating Le Havre 3-0. While the race for the Ligue 1 title this season appears to be a bit more competitive, I assume PSG will ultimately retain the trophy. Marseille will need a huge stroke of luck to break PSG dominance in Ligue 1.

Lens managed to beat Strasbourg at home. Lens are in better shape than last season and this victory saw them raise their points tally to 28. Strasbourg are a strong opponent, but Lens managed to beat them. The championship race in the league looks set to go down to the wire.
Rennes comfortably secured a victory against Monaco and moved above them in the standings. Despite taking a 1-0 lead in the first half, Rennes never let up the pressure and began to dominate the match after Monaco's Zakaria was shown a red card. Rennes defeated their opponents 4-1 and increased their points total to 21.
PSG, as expected, dominated the match against their opponents and secured the win. PSG took 31 shots throughout the match and could have scored more goals, but settled for a 3-0 victory. With this win, they increased their points to 30 and maintained the points gap.

Lens did pretty well in their game in front of Strasbourg. Even their single goal was scored before the red card taken by Strasbourg player. I agree that Lens passed their bad season last year and they are annoying PSG right now for the title.

Rennes comfortably secured a victory against Monaco and moved above them in the standings. Despite taking a 1-0 lead in the first half, Rennes never let up the pressure and began to dominate the match after Monaco's Zakaria was shown a red card. Rennes defeated their opponents 4-1 and increased their points total to 21.

Monaco lost its good shape in the beginning of the season and they are 8th for the moment with a humiliating defeat against Rennes which used to be behind them.

PSG, as expected, dominated the match against their opponents and secured the win. PSG took 31 shots throughout the match and could have scored more goals, but settled for a 3-0 victory. With this win, they increased their points to 30 and maintained the points gap.

PSG is still leading but Marseille and Lens are behind them with less than two points difference. PSG is facing a lot of intension in this season at the opposite of the previous ones.

[Just Say]

In yesterday's exciting match of the French Soccer League we all the fans witnessed that Stade Rennes crushed Monaco, it seemed to me that AS Monaco witnessed a huge earthquake in this match held at the Roazhon Park Stadium. However, this match saw the return of a player who had been out of football for a long time, so it is reasonable to say that it was a bright spot for AS Monaco that their player Paul Pogba stepped onto the field in the 85th minute of this match, but this player could not fully function as I noticed that despite his short playing time, he could not do anything good against Stade Rennes.

On the other hand, Monaco captain Switzerland footballer Zakaria received a red card in yesterday's tough game against Rennes for a reckless midfield challenge besides, it may have been observed by everyone that there were many other unresolved issues within them that led them to accept defeat to Rennes in this match.

It's good to see that the Ligue 1 is becoming competitive, maybe I'll begin to take their matches seriously cause I used to feel bored watching them since the Ligue have been dominated by one team (PSG) for years now, anyways I love that Marseille is giving them a serious challenge so they'll see reasons not to take chances with other teams else Marseille would take over their spot again.

 Luis Enrique is the best thing PSG owners did for the club, he knows how to manage his players and help them perform better. Well the challenge has gotten tougher and PSG won't have be focus more on the Champions League alone, Marseille being closer means they have to give serious attention to their league too or lose it to them.

You are right, I think it's time I also starts taking the French Ligue1 seriously. PSG was the reason the French Ligue1 was bored for me  but since it is becoming competitive due to Marseille incredible performance,the game is on. Marseille is giving PSG a tough competition for the title race. It's been Decades any team has rose up to challenge PSG for the French Ligue1 title. PSG must take the French Ligue1 very serious, Marseille is not showing any sign of letting their form down. PSG must chose between the UEFA champions League or the French Ligue1 before they lose both to rival's this season.
