French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Republikcoin.com]

I also lost my money.
I believe a lot in PSG and i think they are a great team and can do very well, but i expect more from them if they want to follow the path they followed last year. They started off really badly and if they continue, i am afraid they won't go very far.

If you're already doubting PSG this season in Ligue 1, then which other team would you favor in this season's competition? Because so far, I haven't seen any team comparable to PSG, even though even winning by a large margin at home against Paris FC still looks difficult for PSG. Nevertheless, PSG's Ligue 1 campaign is clearly still going well, although there is a difference in their current performance compared to last season, when they managed to win three trophies in one full season.

The match between Paris Saint-Germain and Paris FC is currently 0-0 after 25 minutes. PSG is playing worse than I expected. I would have expected them to score by now, but they haven't had any positive impact on the game. It's also worth noting that the squad on the field is their best possible. The manager's decision not to rotate players shows that he wants to advance to the next round. However, there has been no goal yet. I hope Paris Saint-Germain doesn't make an early exit from the cup and progresses as far as possible. They are playing effectively in both the Champions League and the French league, and I think they will advance in the cup without any problems.

A break and a stop are clearly there, it doesn't have to be always because otherwise it becomes serial and losing will become a habit. i believe that it is a period of a bit of weakness for PSG, as we know, all teams have a cycle and this thing is certainly changing.

PSG are appearing sick by the day and there performance is not how it was and has declined from what is was last season. PSG might likely not be capable of winning three trophies like last season but I am certain that they wouldn't be end trophyless. PSG performance in the ligue 1 doesn't seems like they would drop points further even though last season they were better and  they can still take the top place from Lens.

Paris Saint-Germain football team lost the match against Paris FC football team because that team could not do any goal in this match. Paris FC football team performance was good in this match and that was the reason they easily won this match. Ikoné was a person who did one and only goal of this match and he did this goal at 74 minutes of the match when it was need of the team . The shots of that team were less in this match which were only 4 and 2 shots were on target. The possession percentage of that team was 32 percent in this match and they tried to defend well in this match in which they became successful. The passes of both teams were zero which is not good for both teams.

Paris Saint-Germain lost because they didn't play well, Paris FC used their chance and form to get the result.
But does this make me reflect on the progress of PSG, which could give us surprises in UCL?
Did he play this way for strategy? Or did the performance really drop?

Paris Saint Germain is out of the Coupe de Franch after they lost to Paris on a score of 0:1. The bookies gave PSG about 1.17 odds to win Paris but they could not win which is to let us know that no matter the small odds given to any team, they can still lose. Anyways, i bet on Paris to win immediately they scored but the odd was lowered from 17 to about 2.55 odds. PSG might likely not go home with a trophy this season because even in the French league Lens is at the top while PSG is in the second position. Though they are still active in the Champions League so they might perform better over there.

He probably won't come home with a trophy but he will come back with a lesson, they underestimated their opponents and have diminished their commitment and performance this season.
PSG is a very respectable team and playing this way is not like them, even the bookies took the winnings for granted and yet they amazed.

Every defeat is a lesson to be learned.

I was really surprised that Paris FC won this derby, this is football but I think no one expected them to win this match but they did win even though PSG completely dominated the game and are playing at home. Paris FC’s defense deserves an applaud because even though PSG had the possession they were not able to net a single goal and they have knocked out the defending champions PSG from the French Cup.

I think Paris FC were very lucky last night to win that game but they also tried a lot and it’s kinda humiliating for PSG to be knocked out in this derby.

It was not just luck that they won PSG, Paris FC really put in the work and their efforts were rewarded with the great victory. No one expected it, even bookies gave them about 17 odds or higher I think. This season Domestic Cups have witnessed some upsets like the one in the FA Cup where the defending champions Crystal Palace were defeated by a sixth tier club, that is the biggest upset in the history of the competition.
PSG have been experiencing some dip form (poor) performances, so a lot of things are not working in their favor but the league is still in their reach.

I mean PSG didn't have problems with creating goal chances before anything else. They had too many goal attempts you know. However Paris FC goalkeeper Nkambadio must have shown one of his best performances! 

7 saves 4 of which were against shots inside the box. Vitinha was the best performer of his team I think but they got eliminated in the Coupe de France in last 32 already. Things are getting worse on their side recently as this means one less trophy automatically.

I am seeing a kind of crisis in Paris Saint-Germain, it's going backwards.
As with Liverpool, i can't quite understand the dynamics and therefore the reason.

On paper, they're a strong team, like Liverpool. But in practice, this team isn't working as it should.

You're overestimating the importance of the French Cup. Yes, they won it last year, but before that, when Messi was on the team, PSG, I believe, twice finished in the last 16 (as well as in the Champions League, by the way). Look at PSG's Champions League schedule this year (the toughest of all the teams) and how they've fared. PSG are actually showing excellent results. The cup defeat is unpleasant, but not critical. After all, they can't win the treble every season

PSG was just unlucky not to score any goal till they conceded against their opponent if not they played well and had good statistics. They had 8 corners but none was converted to goal, the ball possession was 70:30, and they had 7 shots on target so for them not to score after this good statistics meant that they actually ran out of luck and Paris became the lucky team even when they only had 2 shots on target but they scored a goal.

PSG will still do well in the Champions League games just as they did last season just that they may not reach the finals not to talk of winning it.
Their performance didn't drop, they're just having some difficult time which is also reflecting in their domestic league which is the French Ligue 1.

PSG are still the favourites to win the Ligue One. They have one of the best coaches in the world and a number of good players. However, they have not faced this kind of competition in recent times. They have always been on top of the table from the beginning of the season to the end. But things are changing this season, they have been knocked out of the French Cup and are currently behind Lens with one point. If Lens remain consistent, the race for the title will be fierce and interesting.

Somehow I guess they were aiming for a trio but now they have lost one of the trophies and currently they other two are not sure yet, they do not seem to have any clarity on either of the two, so I agree ti the fact that from this game he definitely would have learnt a lesson, Enrique will see the need to employ better so he can get the team the best.

It was quite shocking that PSG lost to Paris FC at Parc des Princes despite all those attacking organizations and dominance. Coupe de France is already finished for them as a result.

We have said it so many times... PSG aren't as impressive as last season. They continue proving it regularly. I don't think they will be able to win the Champions League twice in a row either.

In case of losing the Ligue 1 miraculously too then probably they would sack Luis Enrique. 

[martinom]

I didn't watch the match, but I checked the lineup. PSG had their full squad on the field. It's surprising they lost to Paris.
PSG isn't doing well this year. Lens might win Ligue 1 this year.
I don't think they'll have any success in the Champions League either. I don't think the team has the same success atmosphere as last year.
They didn't lose the match intentionally, but they were eliminated from the cup in the end.

I don't see anything surprising, Paris FC noticed that Paris Saint-Germain didn't push or create pressure, they were shrewd and played much better, a super deserved victory.
It is not certain that Paris Saint-Germain is not successful in UCL, the performance decline is physiological and does not last as long for Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG performance in the ligue 1 doesn't seems like they would drop points further even though last season they were better and  they can still take the top place from Lens.

Injuries affected the performance of PSG and  at some point they weren't playing with their first team which made them to lose some matches which they were supposed to win but right now there is a big difference between your form this season and last season which could see them but winning different trophies like last season. They are still pushing for the league despite being 1 point below Lens but they have what it takes to overtake them but in the other competition they will not find it easy because other teams are looking more than them in good performance.

No one expected PSG to be defeated by Paris FC and eliminated so early from the Coupe de France. By all accounts, PSG should have had the better chance of winning the match, but despite having so many chances, they seemed stuck and unable to score.

Even though they are currently focused on Ligue 1 and the Champions League, the defeat against a team like Paris FC was still surprising and they should not have been eliminated so quickly.

I think we can say that Paris Saint-Germain was eliminated in the early stages. It was a fantastic fight and a great victory for Paris FC. Winning against Paris Saint-Germain isn't something every team can achieve. After all, we're talking about last year's champions. Paris Saint-Germain might suffer a morale blow after being eliminated from the French Cup. However, considering their match schedule will be lighter, perhaps their elimination is actually better for them.

This was clearly unexpected and I personally didn't think PSG would lose to Paris FC because PSG should have won that match. This defeat provides a bit of a morale boost for PSG, as they've now lost their chance and been eliminated from the Coupe de France. The pressure could even be even greater in Ligue 1 as Lens has managed to maintain their top spot so far. We hope this kind of situation continues to happen, making Ligue 1 much more competitive, not just in other cups and making the league much more exciting than last season.

We are putting these teams on a place that is so high up that they of course end up failing eventually. This team won treble just last year, won everything they could, and yet because they failed it this season, just on one of them, we are now thinking they are doing badly.

Reality is simple, if we can't expect them to lose at times, we can't really call those people fans, because your team can't always win and if you are this bad as soon as you lose, imagine what the fans of other teams are feeling. What can a fan of Strasbourg can do? They lose all the time. It's a reality that we have to learn to love our teams even when they lose, no matter how big they are. This team did all they could, and now they are back to being normal.

They are still pushing for the league despite being 1 point below Lens but they have what it takes to overtake them but in the other competition they will not find it easy because other teams are looking more than them in good performance.

Injuries are a major problem for every team, but the depth of their squad should be enough to save PSG from defeat, especially against much weaker opponents, as they lost in the Coupe de France. This highlights PSG's weakness as we've previously seen it very difficult for other teams to beat them. However, so far PSG have suffered defeats against Marseille, Monaco and most recently Paris FC. In Ligue 1 they're struggling to catch up with Lens and while they still have a chance, it's not impossible for PSG to lose again in their next match.

Injuries have unfortunately negatively affected performances, but PSG are still not last year's team.
They have hopes for the championship considering they are in second place just 1 point behind the Lens, clearly it will be a battle between the two of them, i don't see any other rivals to mention.
