French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Silence Scream]

Paris Saint German have won the league for five consecutive seasons which is remarkable for the club, adding 2 Champions league trophies to the chart too, so I understand when people still believe that it's just a phase that will pass and we should be seeing a different result soon.

Monaco is the only team to secure 9 points in the first three consecutive games, it's not really what we expected but its still too early to make conclusions. Paris Saint German still remain the biggest in the league, there is enough time for them to prove that to the world.

This is not the first time that PSG have been in such a situation. They have not always topped the French League from the beginning until the win it. Last season Lens was on top of the table for some time until they began to drop points. The difference between other French club with PSG is that they have more money to spend. As the league progresses, there will be injuries and other uncertainties. When a club doesn't have sufficient players to cover for these lapses, their performance will begin to drop. This was the case for Lens next season. I will take discipline, luck, and fewer injuries for Monaco to continue topping the league till the end of the season.

Indeed, Monaco needs to find consistency and maintain the top spot if they want to win the title. They must capitalize on the points Paris Saint-Germain dropped early in the season. They have arguably enjoyed their most advantageous start to a league campaign in years; not only have they been winning, but Paris Saint-Germain has failed to secure a victory in their first three matches. Given that Paris Saint-Germain usually dominates the French league, things could play out differently for Monaco this year, and they may well have a strong chance.

Despite winning all three of their matches, Monaco still leaves me with some doubts due to their low goal output; they have managed to score only five goals across those three victories. This inability to score could make things difficult for them down the line. Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, got off to a very poor start to the season, yet they possess players with the quality to turn the situation around. Only three matches have been played so far, with more than thirty still to come. For Paris Saint-Germain, every upcoming match represents a step closer to the championship. The players need to pull themselves together and return to the form of a championship-winning team, just like last season.

I see this current league standings as a joke because the season is yet to start. Consistency is a big issue in the french league. After Lens failed to win the league last season, I just started wondering why the league always end the same way. I can say that at least, Monaco looks more serious among the teams on top of the league currently. Paris FC will still crash down, not for injuries, but in open plays. If Monaco plays very well this season, they can finish second or win the league. But no body should get comfortable with the current PSG weakness now. They will get back stronger and still fine themselves to the top. I hope Monaco is ready for the season, it's not about giving fans false hope now.

I also think it’s not very wise to draw long-term conclusions based on how things look in the first few weeks of the season. Especially in Ligue 1, a team’s form over just a few weeks can be very misleading.
Monaco’s performance may look promising, but it would be a mistake to view PSG’s stumble over the past few weeks as a permanent loss of strength. Considering the quality of their roster and their ability to bounce back during the season, PSG remains the natural favorite.
If Monaco truly wants to contend for the title, they must establish their own consistency rather than waiting for PSG to falter.

Monaco's greatest strength right now is their winning streak. If they maintain this form having already triumphed in a tough match against Paris Saint-Germain they could head into the halfway point of the season as league leaders, provided they avoid any surprise defeats along the way. Lens and Paris Saint-Germain, who were in the title race last year, have lagged behind in terms of performance this season. Monaco’s away victory over Paris Saint-Germain was an excellent result for the club; I am certain that even Monaco fans did not expect this win. While a draw might have been the primary goal for such a difficult away fixture, Monaco managed to secure all three points. Now, they must remain focused as they approach the season's halfway mark if they are to contend for the championship.

By match day 25 PSG would have clinched the league.  This PSG current performance is not a new thing.  That's also how they started dropping in the Champions league, then when it gets to January of next year, that's when we will now see a completely different PSG. These Ligue 1 teams cant keep up winning consistently because they don't have a good squad depth. We saw how Lens was going band for band with PSG in the title race, until their players starts getting tired. For any team to win this title over PSG, they will need to make sure they win many games. For now, there's no team in the Ligue 1 that can dethrone PSG. Teams like Monaco, Marseille, Lille are not capable of doing that. European matches will also have an effect on these teams with weak squad depth. PSG can literally win multiple league games with second 11.

I believe that the best way to evaluate Paris Saint-Germain's season is to watch the team during the Champions League competition, because in the league they can always make the difference again, while the record they could beat in the Champions League cannot easily be repeated over time and therefore they will certainly have to change their attitude and win matches.

Today, they will face Slovan one of the weakest teams in the Champions League in a match that shouldn't be too difficult. I expect this to be an easy game for Paris Saint-Germain; after all, they have played tougher matches in the French league. This could well turn out to be the highest-scoring game of the opening week of the Champions League. It might be a bit early to say, but given the quality of the Paris Saint-Germain squad, I expect them to put on a strong performance at home one that helps fans forget their poor results in the French league.

[Hvdv]

Three matches have been played in the French league, and despite their legendary squad, Paris Saint-Germain has failed to secure a win. Moreover, they were defeated by Monaco on their home turf. With this victory, Monaco solidified its position at the top of the table, achieving a significant feat by winning all three of its matches. Paris Saint-Germain now needs to prioritize Ligue 1 and field its best players, losing the league title would be considered an embarrassment for the club.

[bastisisca]

So far, PSG has gone four consecutive matches without a win. They still haven't felt victory in three weeks of Ligue 1 and one more in the French Super Cup final. I also believe there are many gamblers who have lost due to what PSG is going through right now.

But when it comes to trophy competition, I have no doubt PSG can end the season with a trophy even though they started the season poorly. For me, this kind of thing is already common with PSG. They start getting consistent and serious around December/January. Just look at last season Lens was at the top only until December, then Lens lost their consistency and PSG eventually managed to overtake them.

I mean, PSG usually gets on fire when they reach mid season. You can see this in the last two seasons, cases exactly like this one. And once they start winning, they don’t stop and eventually win 2 Champions Leagues. So even if PSG starts the season badly, even in the first 3 league matches they haven’t managed to win, don’t ever underestimate PSG because they can bounce back and become an unbeatable team.

Paris Saint-Germain is certainly the team that bettors are hating the most at the moment because they are not bringing home the results. It's strange to see such a strong team start so badly. However, it's already been four games since he managed to bring home a victory and you can see the effort he puts into even managing to draw.

[banana33]

Paris Saint Germain Will start winning and the other teams will impress you with their failure later.
Three rounds are nothing and less than 15 - 20 goals difference, I will remain unsure about PSG losing the title.

At the moment it is still too early to say that Paris Saint-Germain has thrown away their season by doing so, but it is also true that Paris Saint-Germain have lost twelve points so far, which in the long run is not a small number and could have an impact, especially because we need to see the progress of the other teams, if there will be a team that will increase the level more than any other.

[martinom]

Should we be bother about Paris Saint Germain performance this season? It's too early and we both know the pattern of the club after all this years been managed by Luis Enrique. Les Parisiens always starts slow and in the mid season, they fasten up their seatbelt because they know it's going to be a long ride I'm confident PSG will win the Ligue One title this season because they have always won it without any doubt and what makes you think this year will be any different?

PSG are defending champion for both their domestic league and also the UEFEA Champions League, they have a big fight ahead to defend these titles and Luis Enrique is busy cooking and ranging his static force because he knows his oppositions will not take it lightly with him.

I don't think Paris Saint-Germain will have a terrible season. The start is certainly not the best and is unconvincing, but knowing that they can take home the title of the third consecutive Champions League, i think it is a more than valid motivation to do better. And i expect performance improvement in the short term.

[giorgione]

Yes, it was a bad start from PSG this season. I'm not sure what caused it, but PSG can still fix it as the season goes on. PSG are the most dominant team in Ligue 1 so far and they are the 2nd consecutive Champions League title winners in the last 2 seasons. They have great players and an experienced coach, so better performances will come in the next games.

I agree that PSG usually perform well and consistently with victories, but this season is different. After all, it is the best condition for other teams if they want to lead the table for longer, but it is not easy for them to stay consistent. If PSG fail to defend the title this season, then of course it is a blessing for other teams, because PSG has won it in many consecutive seasons.

However, they are twelve points lost in the final tally of points accumulated during the season and they are points that you don't expect to be lost in this way by a team like Paris Saint-Germain. He certainly still has time to change the fate of his season, but he must start changing his attitude soon.

[cande86]

Aubameyang, Mason Greenwood, and even Ethan Nwaneri all left Marseille, and now their performance looks like this. These players performed well last season and help them qualify for Europe, now nothing to show for. Marseille was just focused on selling players instead of signing, forgetting that they are playing Europa league this season.

I didn't watch the game, but from the score line, I can say that their defence is weak. To be honest, I don't see Marseille going anywhere this season if they don't make the right signings in the January window. The squad looks very weak compared to last season.

I believe that Marseille deliberately decided to cash in on the sale of many of their players, but remaining so short, given their qualification for the Europa League, is a risk they decided to take. It will probably tend to strengthen its staff during the winter transfer window.

Paris Saint-Germain now needs to prioritize Ligue 1 and field its best players, losing the league title would be considered an embarrassment for the club.

I don't think it will be an embarrassment because for how many seasons now? that they have been dominating the league which was the reason why their league was also addressed as a farmer league. Even though Paris Saint-Germain will eventually take the Lead, I am so much confidence that there will definitely face a lot of challenges this time, many teams have wake up and also setup perform very well at the beginning but the question that is bothering me is that, can they maintain this consistency to the end? The problem is that Paris Saint-Germain has enough cash that is why they are able to maintain their consistency for a very long time.

Paris saint-germain's result for the three consecutive matches it's not something that I am bothered for, because this is just the beginning if you can let's see how the performance will be when we reach the middle of the season.

[m4r1o]

I was surprised to see Paris saint Germain in the position they are now in the Ligue 1 table that's unseen of them, they have 2 draws with a lose and no single win in their records i really think this is unbelievable.

Monaco got a big win on Friday night against Paris saint Germain at home initially i thought Paris saint Germain was going to win after Marquinhos score for Paris saint Germain in the first half, but As Monaco did a remarkable comeback in the second half to secure a 1-2 win against the french giants Paris saint Germain, but despite the poor start we can't still write them off as they are still the favorite team to win the Ligue 1 title again.

It's almost shocking to see the situation in the Ligue 1 rankings, because seeing Paris Saint-Germain so low is actually something more unique than rare.
It's true that it's the beginning of the season and that everyone can start off on the wrong foot, but everyone wonders: will things change or will he continue with this superficial attitude?

It is expected that fans will be surprised with what has been going on, in the ligue1, specifically on the side of PSG, there's this expectation from the fans that they were going to start brightly, and they didn't, of course there are still much time for improvement, there are just 3 matches played overall, PSG is known for their dominance in the ligue1, the are the defending champions, maybe there are much to this season that we are yet to be revealed, however, I will say that I'm not good with their performance but let's give it  time and watch how things will play out before January.

But I’m very sure Enrique will evaluate the team as a whole and even losing points in the first 3 matches of the season will become fuel for a comeback. It’s the same as two seasons ago when they started the season poorly in the UCL but managed to bounce back and win the trophy.

So, with the depth of the squad PSG has and having a fairly experienced coach, I believe PSG can still catch up on their points in Ligue 1. Losing 7 points isn’t a big deal for PSG especially since the league is still very long, and Enrique still has time to make improvements to bounce back and get back on the winning track.

Let us be honest to ourselves here because there are teams that is struggling to win three consecutive times with a low scoring like Monaco and they could win three consecutively, so even within the Monaco players they are aware of their low scoring and i think that the manager is very excited with the club of grabbing three points in each of the matches and on the process he will still cautious his players to improve more with their scoring skills and it is a most that Monaco will definitely improve with their scoring skills since the season is just starting and if you should watch Monaco results, you will see that scoring five goals in three matches, is not a bad result totally.

The reason why we are still doubting if Monaco can continue with winning streak is because there were times in the past when they had awesome performance but they suddenly dropped points. The only thing they can do is to win many matches now that most of their players are available to play, no much injury concern. Monaco is now 7 points above PSG, that's a whole lot for a team that is determined to win the title.

PSG has the best players but their performance this season is not impressive and if they continue to lose points it will cause them to lose the French title earlier enough. They need to return to form because their fans are not happy that they've gone 3 matches without a win. Bradley Barcola is the only big player they sold, it shouldn't cause them problems because the squad is well guided with talented players.

There's a really interesting situation here; who would have thought PSG would drop points in so many matches? It's truly remarkable that a team that has dominated this league for years has had such a bad start to the season; they're in a truly terrible situation right now.

All the points they've earned have come from last-minute goals. Their opponents aren't the strongest teams in the league either; we'd expect them to beat them easily.
I think this will change in the coming weeks; I don't think they'll continue playing like this

I was most surprised by the way PSG played. They were lucky to avoid defeat in the first two matches, but that luck was not working in the last match. The draw in the first two matches was even more disappointing than the defeat in the last match, the team that had dominated the whole season was being dominated by another team and PSG somehow managed to score two goals in the last minute to equalize. I am also hopeful, like you, that the results will change very soon. Their change may start with the Champions League match. Tonight they may taste their first win of the season with a win against Slovan Bratislava, even though it is a Champions League match.
