French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Smartvirus]

I can only agree with Luis Enrique. When you play at certain levels you can only give your best in the time required of you. Because playing with such high performance you have to be able to physically handle it.
And those who are not capable actually become a burden to the cause of the club and the team.
But actually PSG i enough strong to destroy many teams.

Is that really the case here, they aren’t having the urge or urgency to win or perhaps they are missing Dembele on the pitch.

The team seems to be struggling so much at the moment and aren’t playing anything that makes them look like champions. I wouldn’t bet nothing on this PSG team at the moment.

Monaco defeated Marseille today by 2:0. It was a resounding defeat by the looks of it as Marseille was terrible down to the final whistle, they could make good of the ball.

Fans should give this PSG team a break, they are humans and they can’t keep producing good results all the time. Playing so much games last season and almost all their players were called up to the World Cup without rest. Most of these players went far in the World Cup with their countries and now the season is already started and we all are expecting them to continue playing in same fashion we have been used to seeing them. At some point the players will show signs of fatigue and that’s exactly what’s happening to this team. The good results will start coming soon but for now the players are tired and it’s showing in their performances so far. As gamblers either we take advantage of this their bad form and cash out big at their detriment or we avoid PSG totally for now.

Don't judge that's quickly Psg is a team which win 2 UCL in a row which is dream of most of the team. At club level wining UCL 2 time in a row is a big achievement and most of the team are dreaming this achievement. It's just a start of season and lucho added some new player in the squad and their adoption need some time and tactically lucho trying new tactics so maybe that's will be the reason but I think we need to give some time to psg they recover soon they are team which have passionate players which are hungry to win trophies and they mentally strong team if you watch last 2 season of psg they are average at the start of the season and then they start has main mission.

[SOKO-DEKE]

PSG has played two games matches now with securing three points from any of the games, their first match was 2-2 draw playing away match with rennes also played another 2-2 draw yesterday with Lillie. Is this how they want to start the league because i done understand what could their problem because they have sharp attackers, and the worst of it is they'll be the first people to concede a goal yesterday they where lucky the referee added more time if not they would lost three points yesterday they where lucky to scored 90+ 1 and 90+ 5. One thing for sure is i didn't see clubs in France league that's capable to compete with them for now, even with their performance not to secure any three yet they'll still come back to their winning ways.

It is surprising seeing PSG drawing that match in a row. It was something I never expected, and this is making me think otherwise because maybe some of these PSG players are exhausted, and that is what is leading to this kind of performance.But in their next two matches, if PSG are not able to get the full three points, it’s possible that this is not the kind of form we are expecting from PSG to see this season. Because if they continue losing points for some time, they may never get the chance of winning the title unless the other teams are also losing.

For now, I expected them to start gathering many points by winning matches continuously because when the other competitions start, with these kinds of results, things may get worse again. They have a lot of matches to play, and they may decide to divide their focus and possibly even not start their key players in some important matches.Even last season, that was what PSG were doing, and that was what made Lens points so close to them.

I don't have any doubts about PSG's history, I follow them and they reached a great peak 2 seasons ago. They have worked really hard in the past few seasons to achieve that. With unlimited funds, they try to make PSG full of star players. Football and statistical history can change drastically, but they can also stay consistent. The start of the season can sometimes be a bit tough for some clubs, and maybe PSG is experiencing that problem. 

The season is still very long, anything can happen, and it might even surprise us. But in football, we can analyze players’ statistics, which can help us predict the future, although sometimes it’s wrong, but it won't be too far off. Considering the current situation, my prediction is that PSG will still be a top team winning the Ligue 1 title. As for Europe, I don't dare to have high expectations because the strength in Europe is much more balanced.

Truly, I never expected Paris Saint German to loose their match against Lille, but nevertheless giving conclusion about Paris Saint German would be too quick because I know the French league one is still beginning, and sometimes a team may not perform well at the initial time, but with time, they will still take their stand. Paris Saint German has mostly lifted the French league one title, and have also lifted major trophies just of recent, and I believe it is still the same squard that is still present in the team, with this present squard of Paris Saint German, it is believed they will still be  the French league one defending champions this very season.

Give them a break you say? What more break would they want to start performing? Haven’t the team got enough club depth for proper player rotations, introduction and reintroduction to start performing.

Speaking of the World Cup, France, England, Argentina and Spain all participated in that World Cup. I don’t see any nation listed here that don’t have players and a good number of them playing in some of the top leagues in Europe that are performing at the break of the season like we have it.

Bayern Munich is doing just fine in the Bundesliga, the same goes for Arsenal in the EPL, Barcelona and Real Madrid in the laliga, Inter Milan in the Serie A and more of the teams we have expectations on are doing just fine.

I suppose PSG would start performing at some point and probably take the league like they often do but at this time, is okay to say they are not cutting it for anyone and costing gamblers money too.

Did you actually check the result of the PSG vs Lille match? PSG did not lose; the match ended in a draw.

it is believed they will still be  the French league one defending champions this very season.

What if, in the end, another team like Lens ends up at the top of the table and wins the title?

I admit that PSG have always dominated Ligue 1, but they have not made many changes to their squad. I just think that if some of PSG’s key players suffer long term injuries, their dominance could be broken by another club.

I thought all hope was lost for Paris Saint-Germain when Lille went 2-0 up, but Paris Saint-Germain staged a magnificent comeback. PSG scored two goals after the 90th minute and secured a draw. Even a single point is not bad for them, because a defeat in the league would be considered a failure for them, and despite two poor matches so far, they managed to get two draws in the final minutes. Unexpected points losses for the reigning Champions League and French Ligue 1 champions.

Despite the fact it's still few games playing, the truth is Paris Saint Germain has been terrible in their last matches, and it's not really funny, but one way or the other I think I'm liking it that way, because the league is becoming more boring seeing a one team show every single season, I only wish these underdogs teams will stand up to them to compete with them this season, I will so much love it, at least let any other teams lift that trophy aside Paris Saint Germain, and for Monaco a big congratulations to them, it's a well deserved win to them.

Paris Saint Germain didn't start the championship very well, i don't think I've ever seen this team play so badly. Of course we are still at the beginning of the championship but it is a small alarm.

It will be difficult for another team to win the French league. But never say never, Monaco achieved a good victory.

It would be wrong to say never, of course, but Paris Saint-Germain are almost guaranteed to win the French League title. It's been like this every year. The last time they won was years ago with Lille. I would be really surprised if Paris Saint-Germain didn't win the title this year, because their dropping so many points in the league after winning the Champions League twice in a row surprised me. I expect them to win the title this year, just like in previous years.

[bastisisca]

As for Europe, I don't dare to have high expectations because the strength in Europe is much more balanced.

Paris Saint-Germain is a complete team, with a coach who knows what he is doing and who has led to the victory of two consecutive Champions Leagues. It is certainly a source of pride for him and one that few have managed to match. So i wouldn't stop too long to judge Paris Saint-Germain because they started the championship badly, because at any moment they could win again.

It really happens very often that a team starts the championship badly, perhaps because they have to find their form again, perhaps because they want to try a different style of play, but then, once they get going, they never stop. And teams like Paris Saint-Germain are the perfect example of teams that once they start winning they never stop.

It would certainly be nice and it would certainly create an important satire, because Paris Saint-Germain has a team that is worth much more than all the others and the fact that with a similar team they couldn't win the championship would be funny. However, as we know, no matter how much a team wins, sooner or later the moment will come when it will have to lose.

Yes. PSG started the season unusually; in their first two matches, they didn't manage to get perfect results and even almost dropped points against Rennes and Lille, but luckily they scored late goals. Of course, as the defending champions of Ligue 1 and the UCL, starting the season like this is quite disappointing, even though it's still early. But the first two matches usually affect the next ones, especially if Enrique doesn't make improvements soon, because in the next game PSG will also face a tough opponent, Monaco.

It's exciting for us to look forward to the match against Monaco especially since they can be considered one of the clubs that can compete in Ligue 1 this season. If Monaco manages to snatch points at PSG home, it would definitely hurt PSG's confidence and morale, as they would lose points in the first three matches. Honestly, I hope Monaco can take some points at PSG so that the Ligue 1 competition becomes more interesting and isn't always dominated by PSG every season.

[banana33]

As gamblers either we take advantage of this their bad form and cash out big at their detriment or we avoid PSG totally for now.

I would say that from the end of the World Cup to the beginning of the season, however, some time has passed and i believe that the players have had the opportunity to rest and regain their strength. The thing i don't really understand is how such a strong team even drew their last match in the championship, risking losing it. It's only going by luck, but sooner or later that ends.

[cande86]

I also found it very strange that Paris Saint-Germain also drew the last match and in a lucky way, i would say, because they didn't deserve it. But luck runs out sooner or later. So either Paris Saint-Germain returns to playing its classic dominant football or they will lose points which could be fundamental towards the end of the season.

I suppose PSG would start performing at some point and probably take the league like they often do but at this time, is okay to say they are not cutting it for anyone and costing gamblers money too.

Paris Saint-Germain, apart from that, has players who have rested and even those who made it far in the World Cup have had time to recover. And in any case it is not an excuse, because Paris Saint-Germain should have a squad large enough to be able to win even without always fielding only the starters. So i don't see many excuses for Parisians to use.

[giorgione]

Don't judge that's quickly Psg is a team which win 2 UCL in a row which is dream of most of the team. At club level wining UCL 2 time in a row is a big achievement and most of the team are dreaming this achievement. It's just a start of season and lucho added some new player in the squad and their adoption need some time and tactically lucho trying new tactics so maybe that's will be the reason but I think we need to give some time to psg they recover soon they are team which have passionate players which are hungry to win trophies and they mentally strong team if you watch last 2 season of psg they are average at the start of the season and then they start has main mission.

I don't think anyone dares to judge Paris Saint-Germain. He certainly hasn't shown that he has started the championship well, given the countless draws and the fact that he can no longer win. But we know perfectly well that it is a team that can be reborn at any moment and win both the championship and the Champions League.
So he's already done it twice, he can do it a third time too.
