French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Wake Up]

Paris Saint-Germain struggled in the French league this year, so I think they will make transfers next season. If manager Luis Enrique stays, I believe he has a very good idea of ​​the areas where the team is lacking. This year has been an important one for him in this sense. The Paris Saint-Germain team is currently working on which players to transfer and where. It's not hard to predict that the French team will bring in better players next year to win the Champions League again. They even struggled in the French league this year.

This will happen every season if a worthy contender is created. I don't give importance to new signings based on the performance of the French league, but PSG will definitely reorganize the team at the end of the season. The start of the season was great for them, but their end was not as great as the start, especially in the middle of the season. Their performance in the Champions League is also not great now, they are looking tired now. PSG need to add some more star players to the team so that the whole team doesn't get tired too soon.

Paris Saint-Germain's quality is actually top-notch. Even their young players are very good. I don't understand why they need more players. They already have a lot of players and are having successful matches with them. However, I think there needs to be some change. Some players will leave the team, some players will come. Overall, their team looks very good right now. We all know they will win Ligue 1.

Paris Saint-Germain is the first with only 4 points difference between them and Lens. Since there are 10 matches to be played in the league, then we can assume that everything is possible. We already saw PSG missing easy games. The difference here is Lens poor performance during the last two rounds. They missed 5 points and allowed PSG to jump in front of them. Obviously Lyon and Marseille are out of the competition for the title so it is all about how good Lens will be during the remaining matches. I believe PSG will miss few points in the upcoming games.

We can see it, unlike last season when PSG was very dominant in the league. Now they are facing competitors. Although PSG is still at the top of the standings, they cannot be complacent with their current performance. 
It is true, this season we can only observe Lens's efforts to compete with PSG. Next season, Lens might not be able to perform as well as they are currently. Because next season, surely PSG and other teams will also strengthen their squads.

There will be years when PSG isn't that great, or there will be years where others are great, and that's normal and nothing to worry about for them. PSG isn't going to crash and burn if they ever lose the league, it happens sometimes in every league and the important thing is consistency.

Let's assume for a moment that Lens becomes the champions this year, who do you think will be in worse situation next year, PSG or Lens? Even with a title, Lens would be doing worse next year. This is why not winning the title isn't the end of the world for PSG, they will bounce back very quickly just like how it happened with Lille, because Lille is doing worse and yet PSG is still fighting for a title.

This season PSG is indeed having a tougher season than usual both in the Champions League and in League 1. Usually in League 1 PSG has been ahead of many other teams when entering the end of the season but until now PSG can still be chased by the teams below it, especially Lens who put pressure on PSG when PSG lost points Lens took over because the difference in points was only thin, and if PSG this season can't win at least the League 1 title, I think PSG needs to overhaul large players because it is unacceptable after dominating League 1 for a long time.

This week's games regarding the title competition:

- PSG - Monaco

- Lens - Metz

Monaco haven't been losing for 6 games in the league. They won 4 of them. They are recovering recently and I see a potential in them to make things difficult for this PSG. They already beat them home and fought back hard in the Champions League as well.

Lens should easily be able to beat Metz. Their point losses during the last 2 weeks cost them so much. They need to start winning to keep up at least and this is a good opportunity.

PSG is undoubtedly in for a tough match. Monaco are in seventh place in the  points table but they have been performing quite well. They have been undefeated for a long time. On the other hand, PSG have been able to continue their  winning streak but their performance is not as strong as last season.
PSG have faced monaco  3 times this season. PSG have won only one match. PSG lost to Monaco in ligue 1 at  monaco's home.

On the other hand, metz is not a strong opponent for lens. Metz is in the last position in the table. The team is in the last position in the points table. Lens are a bit off form  but they will be able to win this match by a  big margin.

PSG success eliminating Monaco in the playoff round of Champion League match by winning first leg match and playing draw at second leg matches, upcoming next match will face Monaco again and PSG on confidence performance has chance to defeat Monaco again. Although current standings drop outside the top fourth standings, AS Monaco have good performance by winning last three matches in a row at Ligue 1 defeating Nantes, Lens and last week winning from Angers.

Lens should win against Mentz after losing three points last week and currently has 4 points left with PSG, if want to make Ligue 1 keep competitive until the last matchday Lens should return to top performance again and winning all matches left in domestic league.

[MAAManda]

In 4 days, we'll see Paris Saint-Germain - AS Monaco match, this is their fourth meeting this season, the first in the league & the other 2 during the UCL play-off. Even though AS Monaco has played poorly this season in Ligue 1, the meeting between the two teams is still the most anticipated meeting for Ligue 1 fans.

According to bookies, Paris Saint-Germain is the favorite because they have consistent performance in the league + they will be playing at home. I think @1,3 is a good odds, can get $30 from $100 bet, no doubt Paris Saint-Germain will win this match to strengthen their position in the standings. Well, in relation to RC Lens current condition.

[Just Say]

The PSG vs Monaco round 25 match will be complicated because Monaco knows how to compete very complexly, as we saw in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League play-offs. In my opinion Paris Saint-Germain reached the Champions League Super Sixteen through extremely difficult tests, and they had to endure the obstacles of Monaco in those matches. Indeed, it seems to me that Monaco are desperate for revenge, they failed to reach the next round of the UCL despite drawing the second leg of the play-off,So it is safe to say that they will want to give their all in the domestic league match and try to grab full points against Paris Saint-Germain and it's true Monaco are in seventh place but they will show offensive power in this game.

That is true the fact that PSG really did a good job on UCL to get further. And with them playing against Monaco again, they will have the upper hand without a doubt, they are just looking strong these days.

Maybe that's the tactic of how Enrique teams work? Like they do not start off amazing but they finish the best and basically a reverse-arsenal type of situation, lol. They are on a roll here and I do not think that Lens has what it takes to reach to them at all anymore at all.

Based on antecedents, Luis Enrique has always being a man of excellence who is always interested in improving his squad especially when there is a need to do so. Apparently, the PSG squad seems to be in need of replacements in certain positions and also some players that would serve as back up too in order to strengthen the squad and am convinced that the PSG coach is aware of this and would do the needful, if he stays beyond the end of this season because there are speculations that he might leave after this season.

With Monaco not even in the UEFA competitions, like not even conference league one, it does look like we are seeing a team that is not going to look that great for the time being. And for that reason we are going to see this be a bit different.

I get that it may not be easy for Monaco to defeat PSG, of course that game is going to be very tough for them but at the end of the day, they have to do better and should be doing a fine job because they need those points. If they straight up lose this game, which could very well happen and what is expected, that is not the end of the world and they can still do better later on, but if they do win then that is going to be great for them and give them a chance to chase up.

What are we looking at here? Paris Saint German have been one of the most competitive team in ligue One and also been a very promising club in the UEFEA Champions League. Don't forget in a hurry, they're defending UCL champion and we know what's expected from them.

PSG in a tight corner and we know how they're able to win games despite having to complain about the pattern of their oppositions..

Lens should easily be able to beat Metz. Their point losses during the last 2 weeks cost them so much. They need to start winning to keep up at least and this is a good opportunity. 

I see PSG having the three points at home against Monaco this weekend. I don't see Monaco as a threat to PSG concerning the title race. But already lens drop points again this past weekend letting PSG having more control on top of the league. PSG is having a four point lead on the table and I don't see Lens coming back to climb back to the French ligue 1 table again. Lens has been really impressive this season as they had been maintaining a top form, this is the type of competition that is needed in this league.



PSG has been ruling this league because,  there has not been any strong opposition coming from the rest of the teams playing in this league. This is not too good for the development of the league especially when it comes to European competition because, apart from PSG you can't point another team that has been consistent challenging for any of the European trophies in the past four to three seasons.

Monaco is a team that PSG cannot take lightly. On several occasions PSG has struggled when facing Monaco. In their last meeting in the fourteenth round of Ligue 1 Monaco defeated PSG. In the first leg of the Champions League playoffs PSG also struggled against Monaco even though they won by a margin of 1 goal. And in the second leg of the Champions League PSG also struggled against Monaco and even ended in a draw although PSG ultimately qualified on aggregate. So I personally believe Monaco could pose a threat to PSG in the upcoming 25th round of Ligue 1. I also noticed something interesting when both teams faced Rennes. A few weeks ago PSG was defeated by Rennes by margin of 2 goals. But a few weeks ago Monaco defeated Rennes by margin of four goals. What are your thoughts?

In Ligue 1, I agree that PSG's dominance is still very difficult for any team to break. Although Lens previously managed to keep up with PSG and reached the top of the standings, in the end we saw that Lens was not strong enough to defend. PSG may be the defending Champions League champions, but looking at their progress this season, it clearly doesn't show a promising opportunity to compete for the title. In the group stage, PSG struggled significantly because several matches didn't go well, forcing them to enter the play-offs to qualify for the next round. In my opinion, PSG's strength this season is not as consistent as last season and will make it difficult for them to compete in the Champions League.

There are Coupe de France matches ongoing these days. Strasbourg pushed Reims out of the cup just as most people were waiting to see.

Tonight there are 2 matches:

• Lorient - Nice

• Marseille - Toulouse

The first one is quite unpredictable even though Nice are near relegation area. Lorient are favoured. I don't feel like 90 minutes will be enough to decide the winner...

Marseille should be able to qualify for semi finals but I don't know why their odds are that high.

If I want to judge by Monacos performance so far, I will  pick PSG as my favourite for this game but then again PSG had been of slight inconsistency, so you may not want to bank on them all that but you can still have some trust for their performance even as it does not promise to be an easy one. PSG has a better chance here more than Monaco does.

Snip.

PSG just eliminated Monaco from the Champions League after winning 5-4 on aggregate, now they will meet again in the continuation of Ligue 1. Obviously, PSG will be the favorite team, besides dominating the H2H record, they will also act as the host. This time Monaco came to the Parc des Princes not to lose, they were also on a mission of revenge after their progress in the Champions League was just stopped by PSG. I think this match will be very exciting, both teams need a win for their respective goals. It would make sense to bet on a PSG win, but I don't think they'll have an easy time winning this match.

Monaco might want to use this match to revenge what PSG did to them in the Champions League. This is a big challenge to PSG because they need to win the game and secure three points for themselves. PSG has the quality to win Monaco again but no one knows if they can do it again. I wouldn't bet on this game because it can end up being a loss to me.

[Chilwell]

There will be years when PSG isn't that great, or there will be years where others are great, and that's normal and nothing to worry about for them. PSG isn't going to crash and burn if they ever lose the league, it happens sometimes in every league and the important thing is consistency.

Let's assume for a moment that Lens becomes the champions this year, who do you think will be in worse situation next year, PSG or Lens? Even with a title, Lens would be doing worse next year. This is why not winning the title isn't the end of the world for PSG, they will bounce back very quickly just like how it happened with Lille, because Lille is doing worse and yet PSG is still fighting for a title.

Do you know why Paris Saint-Germain continue to lead in this French League? I assure you if any team will have the same opportunity just like Paris Saint-Germain honestly the Paris Saint-Germain will suffer but right down they don't have any competitive that is why they are doing great every season. What other teams are lacking behind Paris Saint-Germain is money, they have the money that is why they do perform very well better than every team in the league, they are the only club in the French League that compete globally when it comes to having first class players, this is equally the reason why other teams cannot compete with Paris Saint-Germain.
