French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[m4r1o]

The Ligue 1 landscape hasn't changed, with PSG dominating the Ligue 1 title, so it's understandable that many still doubt other teams' potential for the Ligue 1 title. I'm also still quite confident that PSG will be crowned Ligue 1 champions this season, but in other competitions like the Champions League, I'm starting to doubt that PSG will be able to repeat the same feat as last season. Lens' achievements are certainly worthy of praise, as they have put up such fierce resistance to all the other teams in Ligue 1 this season.

In fact, i also think that this is a championship that will never change, maybe for some reason one year can turn into something that changes and some other team could win but it is a unique and rare event and this thing leaves me a bit stunned, PSG once again demonstrates its competence on the pitch.

Lens' achievements are commendable, even though they ultimately failed to compete until the end of the season because their squad depth wasn't much better than PSG's. In fact, we've seen a much bigger decline in performance for PSG as their performance this season hasn't been much better than last. However, when it comes to competing for the title, I'm still quite confident that PSG has a much greater chance than the other teams in first to third place.

Awesome achievement of Lens this season has teams without full star players such as PSG but success dominance in Ligue 1 by leading top position standings for several week, currently dropped to 2nd place but still giving pressure for PSG behind 2 points remaining and has chance back to first standings if can beat PSG at few weeks 29. Great advantage for Lens because will face PSG at home match and its chance if get consistent performance for several matches later and not loss points yet for both teams will be the final match for winning Ligue 1.

I don't blame with Lens opportunity for winning Ligue 1 tittle although PSG is most dominance team and having full top talent players but two points gap can't guarantee yet PSG will back to back winning the Ligue 1 tittle again.

PSG will still focus on defending the League 1 title because I think it is the most realistic because it is difficult for them to defend the Champions League title but this season Lens continues to surprise, many people doubted Lens but every week they continue to prove themselves so I also think that this season's League 1 will be very fierce even PSG's percentage will decrease to win the title, not as predicted from the start that they would easily defend the League 1 title.

I don't think Lens poses such a threat to PSG's chances of winning the Ligue 1 title. Their performance has been excellent, but they still have to face PSG and other big Ligue 1 teams, which means their chances of securing three points against those teams are not very high. Unlike PSG, which has a deeper squad, they are more confident in their ability to consistently win upcoming matches, making it harder for Lens to catch up to their position, even though the points gap isn't that significant.

While it's true that defending UCL would be very difficult, it is not going to require extra attention. Ligue 1 will be theirs and while Lens is doing a fine job, it is not really that difficult and we could see them have the title without trying too much.

Yes Lens are good, and yes PSG had to win many games in a row to keep at the first place but that doesn't mean Lens will continue to do this. Plus PSG doesn't even work that hard to win these games, they get the wins even when they are not playing at their full force. This is why I honestly expect them to have a good result one way or another in most cases and we should be seeing them do a great job and could definitely get UCL focus they have instead of the league.

If the gap between PSG and Lens does not increase before the 30th round of matches, then I see a big threat for PSG. Lens' big weapon this season is consistency and that consistency has continued against teams other than PSG. Since PSG have to play Champions League matches and will have a busy time towards the end of the season, consistency will be somewhat difficult for PSG. Although PSG is a strong team, the situation can go against them at any time.

Lens has shown everyone that they are absolutely a magnificent team but unfortunately the gap against PSG is still huge and i think this makes everything difficult, PSG is a stellar team that can do whatever it wants, and decide the fate of any other team, they know this and i hope that one day they can do well.

PSG can afford to do whatever they want at the moment, they can also go and relax a bit and concentrate more on the championship, now that they have qualified for the Champions League (it was obvious that they would do it) i am convinced that they will distance themselves even more from the lens, i am more than convinced of it.

Yes, I think PSG under Enrique knows how to keep their players from getting tired due to a busy schedule. If PSG is back at the top of the league after taking over from Lens, it will indirectly boost their confidence and they won't let any more points drop. We can see this in their impressive victory over Marseille. Many observers considered it a tight match but PSG showed they are still very strong in Ligue 1. Moreover, PSG will also face Monaco in the UCL play-offs. I don't mean to underestimate Monaco, but the frequent meetings between these two teams will make it easier for PSG to defeat Monaco easily.

Lens target this season is certainly to qualify for next season's UCL. Being in second place so far and keeping the pressure on PSG is an extraordinary achievement. And yes, it's also possible they want to play consistently while hoping PSG loses points although this is difficult, but in football nothing is impossible. But basically Lens has performed extraordinarily this season even though they were unable to break PSG dominance in League One.

Paris Saint-Germain has certainly understood that it can do much more than this and i think they have saved themselves in this period, obviously this is all a tactic that Enrique has adopted to spend all the energy he will need to win the most important matches which are now in the final part of the championship.

However, PSG should not underestimate Lens as they have improved this season particularly in their spirit and commitment to consistently performing in every match. Make no mistake teams with limited squads can sometimes surprise when they possess high morale and confidence especially when they have no burden on their shoulders. Their goal this season isn't the Ligue 1 trophy, but rather participation in next season's UCL.

Meanwhile, PSG has the burden of continuing to dominate. So, if they underestimate every match in Ligue 1 it's possible they could end up like Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga when Leverkusen won the trophy, or like Leicester City who won the EPL trophy. Therefore, Enrique must motivate his players to avoid underestimating opponents which can cost them points in crucial matches. PSG currently hold a two-point lead over Lens. If Lens can overtake PSG once again Lens' morale will continue to rise. So, I believe there are always miracles in football.

With 13 matches remaining in the French league, Paris Saint-Germain are 2 points ahead of Lens. They are undoubtedly the strongest contenders for the championship. I don't think anyone can deny that, because while a win and a points difference should have already been established in the French league, Lens are perhaps experiencing the best period in the club's history. Paris Saint-Germain will play Monaco in a Champions League match, a team they already know from France. Therefore, I don't think they will have too much difficulty and will win. However, I think they will rest some key players in their next match against Rennes.

Their injured players are back so I believe that things would get more better lately, you saw what Dembele did in their previous match, there's always a special kind of confidence they have when he's playing, it was very obvious in their previous match. They'll channel this current energy to the Champions League and i believe they'll better in that tournament, as for their domestic league they'll win it this season, I'm convinced too.

PSG is gradually getting back to form and this could be seen in the way that PSG scored goals this past weekend.With their injured players coming back to the PSG starting lineup I hope PSG will continue to dominate ligue as they has been doing since. PSG should continue to maintain this type of form if they have to win the league because there is more competition this season compared to other seasons where there were no oppositions from other teams.


This season teams are trying to be more serious and intentional about winning the league so PSG has to raise their game standard but beyond the league title, PSG has to do well when it comes to the champions League. As the defending champions of the champions League PSG should get there hands on deck to sure that they make it to st least the finals of the champions League title.

The reason why PSG is struggling in the beginning of the league is because of injury, injuries make PSG look like a team that can not compete in any major competitions, they look so bad in some of their games from the beginning of the season and it is because of the injuries they have, at some time all PSG attackers were injured and they have to manage their young players and with the help of those young players they are still doing well in both leagues and champions league.

PSG is back to the same PSG we used to know last season, PSG performance against Marseille shows that they are back and we all know how dangerous the team is when they have all their squad completely, PSG is about to do what they did last season to win trophies, they started playing well in the second half of the season and won Champions League and League one title.

This is interesting I like it because the other teams are starting to challenge PSG. It's obvious that PSG is dominant, no matter how badly they might be playing at any given moment They have control and are in the lead, but I've seen their performance in the Champions League and it hasn't been easy for them. They've had to fight until the very end to qualify,  so it means the other teams are tough and playing very good football.

Increased competition in the league is good for the fans because we see better matches and the teams' performance improves with each game. PSG is improving its form and this will make things difficult for its rivals. They have a quality squad and the team's playing strength is gradually increasing.

The fact that other teams are truly competing with PSG shows us again that competition is necessary in football. It's also important to remember that PSG's real test will be in the Champions League.

I was even disappointed watching that game against Marseille because, from the early weeks of this season, I thought Marseille would emerge as the winner of this season’s title. But unfortunately, they have just been a disappointment. Although PSG are something else in the league, as they are the main dominant team, just as you mentioned, we would like to see a new winner. But Lens, that we all had hope in, are now left behind with a 2 points interval, and there is no sign that PSG will draw or lose any game anytime soon. So, if care is not taken, they will still end up as the winner of the league this season.

It is actually interesting how far PSG has gone in the champions league and now we can begin to see them as that top side that we supposed them to be, at this point, even if eventually they do not get to the finals or they do not win the Champions League title, we can say they have not done bad for them selves really, and now as it concerns the championship, let is see if there will be some really good differences in their productivity than it was before.

Actually, in France, with Paris Saint-Germain in the running, I think believing Marseille will win the championship is an overly optimistic prediction. Because with Paris Saint-Germain around, the team that will win the league in France is Paris Saint-Germain. The other teams will only try to prevent them from winning. Lens has been the surprise team this year and they are still in the championship race. Marseille had knocked them off the top spot, and this week they conceded 5 goals to Paris Saint-Germain. As a result, Lens lost the lead. Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, regained the lead and hasn't relinquished it yet.

Yeah, I know PSG are the main dominant team in the league, and seeing another team win the championship while they are still in the league would be a big miracle. But anything can happen. However, I don’t think I should even expect a team like Marseille to overcome PSG. We all saw how they conceded five goals. The painful part is that they were not able to even score one goal on the pitch. So, that made me believe PSG are not that easy to defeat in Ligue 1.

The standings will change again and Lens will move away from PSG or rather PSG will widen the score gap more than now to have more security and be even more relaxed, having several competitions under their belt is certainly a problem for them, being so busy is not always a positive thing.

[banana33]

PSG solved the issues that comes with inconsistency, now they have almost every injured player back and ready,  this is that time of the season when they go on to do more than 8 wins in a row and win the league one competition with 10 points ahead already. I love the demolishing of Marseille, there's no better way to crush an inconsistent opponent. Result of that game might have also see the manager De zebri being sacked. He couldn't even take a full season. Finally, what I will love to see is PSG winning the Champions League competition again.

In my opinion PSG can definitely do much more than this, what they are doing is definitely a 10% test of their current possibilities, the players are really strong and even if they are injured they always play excellent games and above all they win and this is a fact seeing as they are now first.
