French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[alankasman]

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.

Sometimes the depth of their squads is slightly different in terms of quality making saving a team from defeat very difficult especially if the player in question rarely gets playing time. When an injured player suffers an injury there is no one comparable in quality or mentality to replace the player who has always been trusted by the coach.

The defeat that PSG received in the Coupe de France match is a form of their weakness in recent weeks because as you mentioned earlier in the Ligue 1 competition there are only two teams that can beat them and this time they are the third team that managed to beat PSG because almost every season they dominate Ligue 1 like no other team can win Ligue 1 even though there are teams that can beat them such as Marseille, Monaco but to win they are still from the PSG team and this season PSG must be wary of the team that is currently above them in the Ligue 1 title, namely Lens even though they are one point apart but the competition will be even fiercer in the hunt for the champion this season.

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. 

I don't see anything strange, Paris Saint-Germain despite being a very respectable team and who in terms of sporting preparation are really high, they played poorly and lost.

Paris FC took advantage of the opportunity and played better, football is also this, that then PSG is not playing like last season this is now there for all to see.

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.

PSG are the sole dominant force in Ligue 1, we all know that, but we all have to face reality: their performance is not as good as in the previous season. Any lost game now in Ligue 1 will be an opportunity for Lens to move ahead of them with more points. Although they have a match against Lille tomorrow, let’s see how it will end. Even I have already lost hope in PSG winning the Ligue 1 trophy this season, but I know they might still end up winning it, we don’t know yet. For now, I don’t have hope in them winning that trophy this season.

The loss PSG suffered is nay have some effect on their psychology because it is very likely they too did not expect it. Winning that trophy would have most definitely added to their confidence and even strength, it would have made them believe  they can come back and dominate the Ligue 1 once again and have a chance to win that title this season as supposed of them.

PSG was the strongest last season and now 2-3 teams are playing well against them and this is actually better than last season because there is an atmosphere of interest and strength at the moment and last season PSG succeeded like a strong team now it is difficult for them and this is the strength and interest of this league. PSG needs 1 point they will go to first position and at that time they will have a strong chance again. They are not strong against PSG but they play well and strong enough for lower teams so this match will be played well and strong enough and this is important to strengthen PSG and also for the opposing team.

Winning that trophy would have most definitely added to their confidence and even strength, it would have made them believe  they can come back and dominate the Ligue 1 once again and have a chance to win that title this season as supposed of them.

I think after this defeat PSG will not experience a decline, but rather a rise in motivation, so the idea of ​​betting on the game against Lille looks attractive. An additional factor that speaks in favor of this is that Lille is not a team from the second half of the standings, but a team near the top, which could be an additional irritant for PSG.
In short, PSG's chance to repeat the treble has been lost, but the whole season is still ahead and the main titles are still at stake.

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.

He didn't deserve to win, statistically maybe he could have won, but on the pitch Paris FC did better and rightly won.
From the way you comment, everyone expected PSG to win, think who placed the bet on Paris FC to win made a good profit

I know a couple who went crazy and won.

Obed Nkambadio played a crucial role for Paris FC & was the hero of the match. If you watch the highlights of this match, you will realize that Paris Saint-Germain should have won this match, but because the young goalkeeper was too enthusiastic, Paris Saint-Germain squad couldn't score a single goal for them. Paris Saint-Germain fate is the same as Real Madrid, the only difference is Paris Saint-Germain is doing their best, while Real Madrid, they're playing like losers.

[bitgolden]

Losing to Paris FC is of course humiliating for a team as big as PSG, and if they went with some youth team and bench players then I would say that makes sense but the reality is that they are not doing that, it is not really that easy to make it that clear, they played with most of their starting players. This is why I think it's clear that we are seeing something that is changing for the good and not going to end up with any issues on the long run neither. We have to perform no matter who you are facing as a big team.

[bastisisca]

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.

I don't know, it has dropped a lot in performance so much that i personally gave it a negative outlook
I hate to say it honestly, but i don't see any progress. Instead, i see things getting worse for our Paris Saint-Germain.
Maybe they can recover but if it continues like this they will end up like Xabi Alonso

[m4r1o]

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.

Anyone in their place would aim to obtain as many trophies as possible, but few teams in the world in terms of performance manage to obtain several trophies in the same season, usually aiming to obtain the closest one. Unfortunately, managing a team leads to making choices, especially for unforeseen events, injuries, and everything that comes with them.

Enrique isn't a first-finger and knows what he's doing in my opinion.

Last season, when PSG achieved many things but didn't make many big signings, I already predicted that this season would be a disaster because it became clear in the Club World Cup games that PSG players get very exhausted from playing so many matches, and the PSG coach doesn't have a B team made up of highly skilled players to rotate them in competitions and thus always achieve good results in all competitions without harming the players' health. I hope this defeat serves as a lesson for PSG to go to the market and make more signings.

PSG is not to be trusted anymore if they can lose to Paris FC it means that they can equally lose to other teams because losing a game go a long to either motivate a team or demotivated them into winning more or losing. Against Lille in the league PSG will do everything possible to win to avoid causing more problems to the team cause any more losses in the league and Lens wins to add to their points it becomes a problem for PSG to win the league because the champions League is going to be hard for them looking at the performance of Arsenal, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. PSG is not winning the treble again they have a little chance of winning the league if they are not careful they may even end up losing it all.

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.

Nobody expected it because honestly this thing is completely unexpected but i am definitely happy because Paris FC deserves it, it's the redemption of those who have never won against the big ones against the small ones who usually manage to win, clearly they have to stay on top and concentrate

I can't say this wasn't luck, because we saw Paris Saint-Germain's attack create numerous chances, but they couldn't score. Meanwhile, Paris FC only had a few chances, and those could have been goals.
Perhaps here, Paris Saint-Germain was unlucky, as every attack they made proved fruitless. No one predicted Paris FC would win, but they proved themselves with this narrow victory. It seems Paris Saint-Germain needs to start taking their domestic competition seriously, as they are starting to falter, though not that badly.

Paris Saint-Germain's attacks were not very strong, so their attacks failed repeatedly. I was very surprised that even with a defensive plan, Paris FC was able to win against Paris Saint-Germain, the strongest club in France. Especially when Paris Saint-Germain is known as an attacking team. This was beyond my expectations, I thought Paris Saint-Germain would win the match easily, but the truth was completely the opposite.

Paris Saint-Germain football team will have to learn from that situation because they could win in this match which they should try to win this match. The overall performance of that team was good in this match but they should try to do more goals in this match which was requirement of the team And they could not build pressure in this match and opponent team did 1 goal in this match.  Ikoné was a person who got opportunity and he used his mind and did goal at 74 minutes. But Paris football team stats was not good in this match and shots of that team were only 4 and 2 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was only 32 percent in this match and fouls of that team were more in number and these were 9 in this match.

[Minor Miner]

Paris FC took advantage of the opportunity and played better, football is also this, that then PSG is not playing like last season this is now there for all to see.

PSG's luck was extremely bad. We saw PSG's dominance throughout the match. PSG players made a lot of attacks. They had 68% ball possession and a total of 21 shots. psg made 8 on target shots. Even  then they couldn't score  a single goal. It must be admitted that paris defense and goalkeeper performed incredibly well. I would like  to give the credit for Paris' victory to their goalkeeper Nkambadio . He made  8 saves in this match. PSG lost to a  weak team like paris despite giving their full effort.

I think that the Paris Saint-Germain team should learn from this situation because even though this team is strong on paper, sometimes we see them losing against weaker teams. Similarly, they lost 1-0 to Paris FC in a match in the French Cup. To be honest, we could not have imagined that they would lose this match, in this match of the 32nd round of the French Cup, I was confident that the most attacking club in the French Soccer League would be able to win but they were not able to attack there successfully, as a result you may have already noticed that they did not gain any points from that game.

[Merit.s]

PSG are the sole dominant force in Ligue 1, we all know that, but we all have to face reality: their performance is not as good as in the previous season. Any lost game now in Ligue 1 will be an opportunity for Lens to move ahead of them with more points. Although they have a match against Lille tomorrow, let’s see how it will end. Even I have already lost hope in PSG winning the Ligue 1 trophy this season, but I know they might still end up winning it, we don’t know yet. For now, I don’t have hope in them winning that trophy this season.

Nothing is impossible but if Ken's did not lose any of their matches for PSG to overtake them, PSG will not be able to defend the title this season. Seeing a different club win Ligue 1 this season isn't a bad thing because I did not expect it so soon.

However, it's not yet over until it's over. You cannot rule out PSG from the title race because Lens is only four points ahead of them and drawing two matches can balance the difference in the point gap between Lens and PSG.
