French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[BlackBaron]

Even though the champions League has been unpredictable for a while, I can easily predict this result of this fixture involving PSG and Liverpool. Liverpool has not be on their best of forms and will be in a disadvantaged position going to France. I don't see how Liverpool will cope with the pressure that PSG will be unleashing in the Liverpool Defense. PSG should show why they are the champions of Europe and take this game beyond Liverpool.

Seeing Liverpool's recent performance, we certainly think Paris Saint-Germain can beat them. Paris Saint-Germain's performance is indeed better than their opponents this time. But can't Liverpool pull off a surprise? Of course they can.

Liverpool aren't bad, but their performances are often inconsistent, which is ultimately their problem. Paris Saint-Germain shouldn't underestimate Liverpool; instead, they must capitalize on their inconsistency.

After the international break can we trust PSG tonight as they take on Toulouse? Whenever the club football resume after the break we hardly see the big teams coming back and start doing what they have been doing before they went for the break. With the pressure Lens are putting to get back ontopnof the table it doesn't seem like they are ready to back out from this fight for dominance this season. PSG are big but they are not in any form of getting tonight's game and the game at hand to extend the league point, can they even get a win again a stubborn and increase the point gap?

Although previously Toulouse equalized in the 27th minute, PSG was finally able to surpass it again in the 33rd minute, now the score stands at 2-1 victory for PSG, and you are right that when it switches to the domestic league again there is a lack of readiness like the previous matches and we can see that, it's just that PSG and Toulouse are quite different so yes it is still quite likely to be won by PSG.

PSG look stronger right now and have the advantage, especially playing at home. Their current form is better, so it is normal to expect them to win. But at the same time, Liverpool is still a big team and can surprise anyone on a good day. Their main problem is inconsistency, you don’t always know which version of them will show up. So PSG are favorites, but they shouldn’t relax too much because Liverpool can still pull off something unexpected. I mean it is called the Champions League for a reason.

[Just Say]

they are lucky there is no doubt about this and i don't doubt their abilities, but Liverpool are not a second division team that cannot afford not to win, they must at least try and i am convinced they will try, so it doesn't seem to me that they are certainly 100% underdogs but i would say more, if we are talking about percentages a 60-40.

Liverpool are doing well, no doubt about that, but I have the feeling that PSG will definitely win this game. They are the ones playing at home, so it will be easier for them to achieve the win. We all know that Liverpool will fight for it, but I want us to still remember what happened in the same Champions League the previous season. We all saw how Liverpool performed, but what ended up happening in the round of 16? They got knocked out. So, in some cases, we have to accept the truth and wait to see what will happen.

In the knockout match between Liverpool and PSG, Liverpool will try to gain an advantage in the first leg in England. We all know PSG have the advantage; they are the team most likely to advance. Nevertheless, they have to be careful against Liverpool. Liverpool is no ordinary team. Liverpool is a team capable of pulling off a big surprise. They can punish PSG.

The first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final between Liverpool and PSG will not be held in England, you should take note of this because we can see that the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between these two teams will be held in France. By the way, the same field where PSG is playing against Toulouse today will be the same field where they will play against Liverpool in the upcoming match. However, on this field, it seems to me that even though PSG is a capable team, they have to overcome many difficult obstacles but, it is true that Ousmane Dembele scored a spectacular goal from outside the box against Toulouse today, which everyone probably noticed, so my believe PSG can rely a little more on this player in the quarter-finals against Liverpool.

Dembele's fantastic performance has put Paris Saint-Germain ahead, and the first half will likely end that way. Toulouse should have defended after equalizing, but they failed. Paris Saint-Germain scored their second goal five minutes later, keeping the score level for five minutes. Now, we will see a more effective Paris Saint-Germain in the second half, and they will probably win the match comfortably. In fact, I think it was a surprise that Paris Saint-Germain even conceded a goal.

That's the temporary result we can expect from the bookies, choosing Liverpool to win gets big odds of almost @4,00. Paris Saint-Germain has the advantage of playing at home & also they have consistent form in Ligue 1. The two teams met in the same competition last year & it ended with Paris Saint-Germain winning over Liverpool after a penalty shootout. Well, Paris Saint-Germain has all the advantages in the upcoming match, there's no doubt that they will end the match with disappointing result.

Liverpool couldn't pull surprise performance against Brighton, Tottenham and against Wolves in the Premier League, i doubt if they can surprise  us against PSG in the Champions League competition. PSG are stronger and better than Liverpool, i'm not going for the surprise, the most favorite team to win is PSG and that is the safest option to place a bet on.

PSG players know that they can't fumble with this game, because currently they are leading the table with 4 points over lens. This is the first time since Lille won the league that we are seeing another contender. But PSG will surely win the league again and again till other clubs start to invest properly. Lens don't have the kind of squad depth in which PSG has , so  PSG can win 5-6 games in a row unlike Lens. I would love if Lens could actually win the league at least, it will make league1 look competitive. Currently the game is still playing 2-1 so I still expect PSG to score one or more goals to win the game.

PSG is an outstanding team in the French League we all know that but your comparison of saying that PSG can go 5-6 games win in a row why Lens can't, it's a lie. For the records, lens once went 8 straight winning streak before Marseille broke than run. PSG against Toulouse is a match that we already know that PSG will win them but am just wondering why PSG defense continues to be porous more often when they are playing at home. PSG can still fumble before the end of the season but if Lens were to be a team that has a resilient mentality they would have succeeded to win the French Ligue1 title.

It's 70 minutes and PSG is still leading the game 2-1. PSG will try to win since Lens is very close to them it would be a bad a result for them if it ended in draw, but from the performance of PSG against Toulouse i still believe that PSG will add more goals to either make it 3-1 or 4-1. Toulouse isn't playing like team that would want to score any goal, Ousmane Dembele can make 3 goals from what am seeing before Ft.

[W Jr.]

The score remains unchanged, and Paris Saint-Germain maintains a 2-1 lead. Toulouse isn't a tough opponent, and I would have expected Paris Saint-Germain to play more comfortably. However, we see that they haven't given the opponent many chances. Perhaps the manager wanted to avoid overexerting the players, as they have a difficult match against Liverpool ahead of them in five days. They need to perform better in that game.

I am waiting for PSG to score one more goal to seal the win. The 2 goal is not enough for PSG to win; anything can happen in the last minute.
Toulouse almost had a chance to score at the moment of writing this post. I wont be happy if PSG loses to Toulouse, by now they should be leading with 3 goals.
Lucky for me, Toulouse is not making good use of their chances.

Toulouse had no chance against PSG who have come back yo original form even as most of their players featured for the international break it’s not a worry for PSG.  I had expected the match to be a high scoring performance or atleast maybe they won’t concede but Toulouse pushed back a bit and got a goal…. Good chances, they’re not so bad themselves but PSG is a dominant Predator in the French Lique un.
Now they just have to maintain their momentum and the league is over.

From what I noticed, Toulouse substitutions were focusing on consolidation of the attack line and building more opportunities but they are failing and falling on offside while Paris Saint-Germain coach was consolidating the defence line and midfield. PSG players are controlling the game, extra time started and here we go with Ramos scoring the third goal.
PSG 3 - 1 Toulouse. The game is (almost) over for Toulouse!

The second half can only score 1 goal for now and I think everything is finished with these last few minutes, a landslide victory got PGS, Dembele managed to get two goals, Dembele is the best bearer of victory, while Toulouse can no longer add points, instead they are left behind because PSG managed to dominate the match very well until the end of the second half.
 
I see that Lens is very difficult to return to the top of the table, because PSG will not give that opportunity again.

[Slow death]

so yes it is still quite likely to be won by PSG.

A great victory for PSG and the game is already over.



With 12 shots, 6 of which were on target, compared to only 4 shots from Toulouse, with only 1 on target, I would say that PSG performed very well in this game, mainly because they scored 3 goals, conceded only 1 goal, and had 74% possession compared to only 26% possession that Toulouse obtained. This time the PSG coach learned his lesson. In the past, something that happened this season, when PSG was close to a Champions League game, the PSG coach underestimated the Ligue 1 opponent by putting his less skilled players on the field.

And this led the team to lose points, but this time because PSG wasn't secure. With Lens very close to overtaking PSG, the PSG coach played seriously in today's game and won. Now, yes, they are 4 points ahead of Lens, and as a PSG fan, I'm happy because we are close to having another title.

If If PSG wins Ligue 1 this season, it will be the first time in PSG's history that they will win Ligue 1 five times in a row, but they will not surpass Lyon, who have already won Ligue 1 seven times in a row. So, if PSG wins Ligue 1 this season, it will be their fifth consecutive title, and they will need three more consecutive wins to break Lyon's record.

The second half can only score 1 goal for now and I think everything is finished with these last few minutes, a landslide victory got PGS, Dembele managed to get two goals, Dembele is the best bearer of victory, while Toulouse can no longer add points, instead they are left behind because PSG managed to dominate the match very well until the end of the second half.
 
I see that Lens is very difficult to return to the top of the table, because PSG will not give that opportunity again.

Against Toulouse, PSG seemed to be in full form, from the beginning PSG was dominating the match over the opponent. Especially Ousmane Dembele was unstoppable today. Based on his great performance, PSG won by a margin of 2 goals. There are only 7 matches left in the season and a gap of 4 points has been created between Lens and PSG. I don't think Lens will have to cross this gap to go back to the top. Even if Lens wins the match against PSG, PSG will be ahead, PSG may not lose points in 2 matches out of 7 matches. We will have to wait until the end of the season to see what will happen in the upcoming matches, the Champions League matches will also have an impact on PSG.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well I think the burden on the team to defend their title may be there but it may not be necessarily worrisome than having injury problems especially when it involves key players in the squad.

While winning Ligue 1 will always be very important to the team's fans, injuries are obviously another matter, much more delicate and requiring attention. In this respect, things can be more difficult when a team is expected to deliver titles and trophies, to win everything. Players get injured simply from playing so many games; their muscles need more rest, and sometimes that takes its toll.

It was surprising to see Toulouse get that quick equalizer, I never expected them to respond immediately but still PSG didn't play like they are hungry to cause damage to the Toulouse team, maybe they have their mind focused more on the game ahead, against Liverpool in the champions League, things we expected in this game didn't happen. For me I was expecting like 4 goals in this game for PSG, at least they won and it will make Lens to push hard in their next game while they expect PSG to lose their next game.

This is the time when you don't see PSG losing points against underdog teams because they understand what they stand to lose since the gap between them and Lens is just one point, they dominated in the game today and the result is evidence to show that those possession and attempts wasn't for nothing as they delivered so well and grab the 3 points to extend the gap to 4 point. Ousmane Dembele is an outstanding player for PSG they need to protect him so that he will not be injured cause they need him in the champions League since they are gradually coming to the end of the league. Lille will host Lens in a very crucial game for Lens from the look of things it's difficult for Lens to win which is going to give PSG more advantage since they have just 7 matches to play.
