French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Alonso_]

If PSG just considers this finals to be done and easy, and act way too confident then there is a huge chance that they will end up with a loss, because Arsenal will make them pay. So PSG needs to go out there, act as if they are going to face the toughest team in the world and then do as good as they possibly could, otherwise it will not be a good result for them at all, it will end very badly for them.

PSG must be very careful and must not make wrong choices because this year Arsenal is really determined to go all the way and win the Champions League too, after all they have always been one of the favorites from the beginning, this is just the right ending for a team that has been one of the strongest so far.

Paris-Saint-German doesn’t have to be careful with Arsenal, because I know and understand how they play there game, they will be very prepared in this game to beat Arsenal, they shouldn’t underestimate Arsenal capabilities when it comes to set pieces, because Arsenal would definitely want to hurt Paris-Saint-German through their set pieces and most especially corner kicks, Paris-Saint-German should be prepared to defend Arsenal’s set pieces because that is their strength, Arsenal isn’t going to score so many goals because they don’t have a very good attacking team, they’re only good in defense, which is why they’ve been winning only on 1 nil in so many games now, so I think PSG is going to beat Arsenal comfortably.

Even a 1-0 win would secure them the championship, so they need to stop Arsenal. The French are very strong attackingly. Kvara and Dembele create great danger, but Dembele won't be playing in the final. A huge responsibility falls on Kvara. He has to shoulder all of Paris Saint-Germain's attacking duties.

I'm sure PSG have great respect for Arsenal and will prepare very well for this match.

The situation is different now because, after securing the Premier League trophy, Arsenal are much more motivated to win the Champions League. PSG are certainly not easy opponents, but they will certainly be under immense pressure from Arsenal, given Arteta's team's eagerness to win the Champions League. Luis Enrique must be wary of this possibility, especially if Dembele is unable to play, as all the attacking responsibility will fall entirely on Kvara.

There is no certainty yet regarding Dembele's role or absence, as some reports I've read suggest he could play for PSG in the final due to his injury being less serious. Any win is important in this match because I predict there won't be many goals scored in this match.

It's not hard to predict that the match between these two teams will be very good. However, I think the Premier League champions are slightly less likely to win the Champions League. I think Paris Saint-Germain are more likely to win this trophy. The French squad is very good, and they compensate for their absences very well. Plus, they will have more rest than Arsenal.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The defense is something I disagree with. Yes it is clear that Arsenal does not have great attacking and that means that it will be very tough for Arsenal to score on PSG, but that doesn't mean that Arsenal also has bad defense. Just for a mere moment think of it like this, if arsenal has bad offense and bad defense then how the hell did they reached first place in premier league and finals at UCL? Of course they wouldn't, and mainly that is because they have an incredible defense compared to other teams.

Seeing how things are going, right now I don't think the result would surprise me much. Arsenal are already Premier League champions, it's not just anything, it's a big deal, it means a lot. I could say that with the boost in morale Arsenal have, they are capable of winning anything right now. They have everything they need to just concentrate on the Champions League final. They've gotten out of that pressure, and now I think the manager has a very good amount of time to prepare wonderfully for that final.

This game between PSG and Arsenal is never going to be easy and anyone seeing any of the team as small is not being real. The two sides are defensive and strategic always. If you consider the fact that Arsenal is the team with the lowest number of goals conceded this season in this tournament you would understand how their defence could look like. Again, defence wise, PSG is tough on it and can change their game play depending on the game they play. When they need to score, the relax defense a bit.

Okay, the test of this two team's defense was proven during the last final clash between the two of them, they played the entire game defensively with only one goal scored. This season's final could take a new turn because Arsenal now understands that who scores first could lock defence so I think there would be more goals in this season's final than last season. PSG can trick any team with a defence that looks open and lure their players out. This would give Ousman Dembele the opportunity to find the back of the net thereby giving PSG the lead and if this happens, the game will be over. This game will be both revengeful and dominating for the two teams.

Arsenal have no other commitments, the determination that led them to victory in the Championship will now accompany them to this final, which moreover is the only thing they need to focus on at the moment.
It will be an epic battle, Arsenal were one of the favourites right at the start of the season, but in the end PSG gained more confidence.

Arsenal and PSG are not under pressure in their own league. PSG are Ligue 1 champions and Arsenal are Premier League champions. And now the only target of both clubs is to secure the Champions League title.

I agree with you. Arsenal's performance in the first round was amazing. But their performance in the knockout round was a bit slow. I have not seen Arsenal dominate and win any match. On the other hand, PSG's performance in the first round was weak. But PSG played very well in the knockout round matches. Especially they defeated teams like Munich, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Blocking the defense against Paris Saint-Germain doesn't seem like a good strategy to me, they can try but do they really want to play this way against them? sorry but i are really skeptical about this way of playing against Paris Saint-Germain.

I can't wait to see this match and i believe that there is also the possibility for Arsenal to play it on equal terms, certainly imposing themselves on the match will be the most important thing, basically whoever scores first has the most chance of winning, even if Arsenal is really very strong they are facing a hungry PSG who will not give discounts to anyone.

[bitgolden]

Arsenal will of course have a lot to work towards, it is not going tot be easy and we should be considering this as something that will not be simple at all.

We need to arrange something that will take a while for them to actually end up with a big deal, and we need to arrange something that will take a while for them to reach this level.

I understand it may not be something easy, because Arsenal is weaker team on paper, and PSG looks better, but PSG has to be careful. If they underestimate Arsenal even for a short while, Arsenal will make them pay very badly.

[bastisisca]

Paris-Saint-German doesn?t have to be careful with Arsenal, because I know and understand how they play there game, they will be very prepared in this game to beat Arsenal, they shouldn?t underestimate Arsenal capabilities when it comes to set pieces, because Arsenal would definitely want to hurt Paris-Saint-German through their set pieces and most especially corner kicks, Paris-Saint-German should be prepared to defend Arsenal?s set pieces because that is their strength, Arsenal isn?t going to score so many goals because they don?t have a very good attacking team, they?re only good in defense, which is why they?ve been winning only on 1 nil in so many games now, so I think PSG is going to beat Arsenal comfortably.

in my opinion Paris Saint-Germain, at the hands of their talented coach, knows how to face Arsenal.
I see them as professionals who know and know what to do
but Arsenal are a team that puts their heart and soul into it and is very hungry
the outcome is not at all obvious.

PSG was similar last season. They had a poor start even having to advance through the play offs, but by the round of 16, their performance had improved and they secured their first Champions League title. This season has had a similar journey having to advance through the play-offs and through the knockout stages facing tough opponents to reach the final. Meanwhile, Arsenal got off to a good start, but in the knockout stages they played cautiously making it difficult for them to score. Interestingly, Arsenal are undefeated so far proving their solid defense.

So, the final will be an exciting match, especially with both teams having the same goal of winning their respective domestic leagues. It's interesting to watch, especially if PSG manages to secure back-to-back trophies or Arsenal wins their first Champions League trophy.

Kvara and Dembele create great danger, but Dembele won't be playing in the final. A huge responsibility falls on Kvara. He has to shoulder all of Paris Saint-Germain's attacking duties.

I'm sure PSG have great respect for Arsenal and will prepare very well for this match.

Dembele has a small injury and can still recover before the champions league final I believe he will be back and will play in the champions league finals but if he won’t PSG still has a lot of players that will take over and replace Dembele but I still believe that he will be back and play the final.
I believe that Arsenal will win this final against PSG. I know it will not be an easy one for them, but they have all takes to do it, now they have own their league title they will carry more confidence to that match, I just wish Arsenal to win the final since they have not won the champions league since their existence.

Arsenal have a great attack and they have to exploit it, they cannot and must not fall back on defence, it would be a very serious mistake for them, having the chance to play for it is for few especially in a final with so much to lose, they absolutely must exploit it, and they have to do it quickly, from the first minutes.

[Egii Nna]

It's not hard to predict that the match between these two teams will be very good. However, I think the Premier League champions are slightly less likely to win the Champions League. I think Paris Saint-Germain are more likely to win this trophy. The French squad is very good, and they compensate for their absences very well. Plus, they will have more rest than Arsenal.

I also have the same thoughts, that the French squad are more likely to win the premier league champions, but in other case this is the final, and sometimes times final comes with it own miracle. PSG might look strong, but at the end we will say Arsenal winning the trophy. Mind you this same PSG lost to Chelsea in the club World Cup final. So, I still have some doubts now on choosing a favorite to win the Champions League final, but time will tell, as I will wait and see how the game will later turn out for them.

that's right, Arsenal are now playing everything in a competition where there is now only one left to win, the possibility is there and they will do everything to bring it home, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, because now they can only concentrate there and bring it home, the players will be able to prepare it in the best possible way

I think they have very skilled squad as well on which base they always managed to perform good. But here's the competition is very tough as both teams are strong and they both will not allow each other to overshadow easily. But Arsenal is very dedicated and determines from the very first day of the season and they really put a lot if efforts to make their win possible this time. So I think it's quite difficult to predict about the exact winner and the competition is going to be very hard and everyone has their own way of thinking. Because Arsenal is very close to their desired position and they are also too good in defense line so they will not things easily to let it go. They will be very focused and concerned to have this match by their side with all their possible struggles.

[Velvet78]

Dembélé has won the Player of the Season award in the Ligue 1. What a big surprise...    While PSG are this much dominant, it is the most normal thing to see a player of them winning such an award.

He was actually able to play in only 22 league games in the whole season. And moreover, he didn't even play properly in the half of it. Like for around 30 minutes or so.

I would have expected a regular PSG player to be given that award as a result.

It is not just the talent that made this team better, but also the manager, in fact it is obedience that we could consider as well. Manager had a style of game in his mind, which required the whole team to play together, and that required a lot of running and a lot of sacrifice, and even a striker going back on defense to help if needed, and even defender going out to score or be a pass option if needed. This requires an insane level of stamina, but they had a deep squad and also ability to rotate very well, so nobody got that much of a big injury, they all missed time, but short bursts.
