French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Just Say]

Paris Saint-Germain is aware that the challenge this year is very high and certainly not like last year, this is clear, when there are problems of this kind they must understand these things well and see if they can take advantage of the possibility of having more time by giving up one championship at the expense of another.

Certainly you are correct Paris Saint-Germain are already aware that the challenges are high this season but we see them stumbling all of a sudden besides at this stage, their main focus is the upcoming UCL round of sixteen match against Chelsea on Thursday. Even you can observe that Lens' 3-0 win over Metz yesterday has put more pressure on PSG, so it is no doubt that they will now have to worry about home and UCL. If we analyze the statistics of the last matches of these two teams, then it seems Chelsea will be ahead in the statistics because they defeated the French club in the Club World Cup final, so the first leg of the Champions League Super Sixteen has provided an opportunity for PSG to take revenge, and i hope they will play this match with foresight.

Chelsea game PSG has will decide a lot about the league as well. Not only this one, which would be a normal game, and they could be tired and that could lead to them not be able to play their best players and need to rest some of them. Because if the game is close, like a tie, or even if Chelsea wins it, which would be shocking, then PSG will rest their players on the weekend and create issues for the league game.

On top of that we could see the second game possibly go as much as overtime, and on that 120 minutes they would be tired once more, putting yet another league game at risk. None of this could happen, they could easily get a win in the next 2 league games with 2 UCL games and just be fine, but the risk is there.

Lens once again dropping the difference to one point is a great achievement for them. They are "almost" there, let's see if they will be able to actually do it or not but I think it's clear that they are doing a fine job.

I understand it is not that easy to handle all of this obviously, because they are not doing enough to win the league so far if you ask me, anytime they have a chance, they lost a game, they could have been leaders not just a point but a lot more points and instead they are behind.

RC Lens football team won the match easily against FC Metz football team because that team did 3 goals in this match and opponent team could not do any goal in this match. FC Metz team stats was not good in this match and shots of that team were 5 in this match and 0 shot was on target and possession percentage of that team was 48 percent in this match and their passes were only 451 in this match and opponent team tried to be dominant in this match in which they became successful and players of RC Lens football team did back to back 3 goals in this match and shots of RC Lens football team are 23 in this match and 7 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was great in this match which was 52 percent in this match.

PSG have the best chance to challenge in their league and win against Lens, than neglecting their domestic league to compete for the Champions League. PSG should give the best performance in the Champions league, but what i'm seeing it won't take them even close to the semi final, other clubs i see are more superior than them, going past Chelsea is already a demanding request that they might not succeed.

I completely agree; the risk of fatigue always exists when a team is competing in several competitions simultaneously. Important matches like PSG vs. Chelsea can be very physically demanding, especially if they are close or go to extra time. In these situations, it's common for the coach to rest some players during the league, which can ultimately influence the results.

I don't see how competing for the champions league would be easy because the pressure in the champions league is higher than the Ligue 1 and again they only have Lens to worry about but for the champions league they have more than 1 club to worry about so winning the UCL is not going to happen, they can't win it. If Lens lose their next game and PSG win it will reduce the pressure for PSG and we should know that both titles are important for the Ligue 1 champions (PSG).
I seriously agree with you, other clubs look more stronger than they are and getting pass Chelsea is never going to be an easy one because the Blues will make sure of repeating what they did in the World Club Cup finals and PSG should see this game as a revenge. We shouldn't write Chelsea off this game because they always find a crazy way of getting a win no matter if their opponent is the favorite, PSG need to be careful.

So should we blame some of the poor performance of PSG in the domestic league on fatigue? This is why we always talk about tactical approach and strategies in many cases, a coach with a well planned strategy knowing how much pressure they are getting resulting from fixtures, will always know and fi d a way around the games to keep his team at an advantage.
