French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Pi-network314159]

if Paris Saint-Germain struggled to find victory it seems that there is a real revolution, but last year it went like this too and they put themselves in a very difficult situation but then they won all the available competitions currently it is a team that is the same as last year and can win again.

No, this absolutely different from last season. I know things get bad for them mid season but they were able to overturned them and win everything winnable last season. No one expected them to have hitch free season from the beginning to the end but how they get started should be a thing of concern. Last season, they were on top of the table after match day 4th with 12 points which means they won every match from the first 4 matches played unlike this season. They are presently 7th on the table with 5 points after playing 4 match this season. That's pretty a bad start compared to last season.

This season is different from last season and I'm glad some people took note of this incident, they were not this disappointing last season. As you stated, they were in control in the early matches before they fell later on and picked up again to win the league. They are not scoring goals the way they used to score before, few goals scored in a match, they will later concede those goals, they have only recorded one win in the league. What if this season is a season League One gets to pdofuce a new champion, PSG might lose the league this season. This season, I have seen posts of people laying claims that PSG is more focused on the champions league as they were last season but their form has reduced a lot, they want to equal Real Madrid record of 2016/2017/2018

Lets just say that psg are currently struggling in the ligue 1 to win games, they would have just played draw if not that they earlier scored, psg is a team that dominated the game of football last season by also winning the champions league trophy but they have started inconsistently this season, they need to wake up before it gets too late on them, they can still fix things now since the season is not old but new, although am not worried about them in their domestic league i don't see any contenders there were they will face some challenges is in the champions league, i still doubt if they can win again the third time in a row.

This result doesn't reflect on what transpired between them and Slovan Bratislava in the UEFA champions league where they won 6:1, what changed, when the came to their domestic league, 4 matches played, they lost 1, draw 2 and win 1, even as most persons will say that, they should not be judge this early, there form is not getting any better, how'll a team like PSG continue to play this badly in almost all their matches this season, we are no longer talking about last season, because that season is gone and the merited the two important competitions they won, the fans and the management what's to watch them replicate what they did last season, and there recent form can't make that happen.

[Creeper0]

I am judging Paris Saint-Germain with their previous performance in the previous seasons, it is not a joy for the teams at the top right now to see that Paris Saint-Germain are not doing well currently, the season is just starting and the problem is who end the season with a very excellent performance, because any team that can be able to maintain their consistency towards the end of the league always have high chances of winning, Paris Saint-Germain have enough player that can make them to secure more victory ahead.

Even Brest will know that their match is going to be tough one, because of Paris Saint-Germain previous match in Champions League, it was absolutely sensational, I even expect them to score more goals in this match against Brest but unfortunately Brest hold them very well, this is a fantastic move for PSG so let's see how their next match will be.

PSG got their first win of the season, to be honest, the win was not easy at all. I think this season is going to be different, last season Lens tried to compete with PSG, but failed. The other teams are fighting great this season, I'm not saying that it seems like it's because of PSG's bad performance. Rather, other teams are improving.

However, it's not enough to perform well at the beginning of the season, winning a few matches and winning the title is not the same thing. So to win the title, you have to perform consistently throughout the season, very few teams in Ligue 1 have that ability. That's why PSG can win the title very easily.

PSG has achieved their first win of the season, but it was not easy for them actually you can notice it took them three matches to secure this single victory. It is quite surprising to us that this team has performed very poorly in their domestic league but was able to win their first match in the UEFA Champions League by a huge margin of 6-1, primarily proving that they are more focused on the Champions League since they have already been champions for two consecutive seasons.

It is correct that last season Lens was competing with PSG for the title as they were just 6 points behind, but this season other teams in the French league are also performing excellently, yet if they want to win the title, they need to perform consistently throughout the season because it seems if PSG starts performing excellently, they will be ahead of other clubs in the race for the title.

Lens was the only team that showed some quality last season, in the beginning of the season, I saw Monaco trying to have some good start but failed along the line and it was only Lens that was seriously chasing PSG in the title race, but fatigue affected them and stopped them even though they tried to qualify to the Champions League by finishing second. This season, I can see Monaco is serious again with other team, they have gang up against PSG, they are trying by all means to stop PSG from winning the League1 title which if they are serious they can achieve because they are not in good form this season. I hope Monaco can keep this performance up so that they can win the league or any other team apart from PSG may win it.

Like it was really surprising, after watching them demolished a team in the UEFA Champions League, then came back to the French Ligue 1 to still perform this awful is still what baffles me, I know they has secured the three points, but truth be told their performance was not really pleasant, it was not up to expectations, I keep wondering if those guys are really serious this season, because I don't understand what they are doing, and the worst part of it is after all this awful performance, you will see them lifting the league title at the end of the season.

Unfortunately, it happens that there are problems, which perhaps we don't even know about, which affect the performance and performance of the team.
We only see the result without knowing the dramas and problems that perhaps break the mechanism behind it. Furthermore, in my opinion it is still too early to draw conclusions or establish some sort of trend.

[bastisisca]

We can't really say what exactly their problem is with their poor performance in the league side, though we can assume the season is just getting started and we can't certainly judge their start now but what happens at the end of the season and what position they will be closing the season with. Personall I love PSG, but seeing that they keep dominating Lique 1 regularly almost makes the league not look interesting as it used to be when Monaco, Lyon, Marseille, and Lille were all competing massively with PSG.

I'm also happy with how the French championship is going, in this way being more open it's also more fun than the usual Paris Saint-Germain who win everything.
I know i will make the Paris Saint-Germain fans unhappy but I'm happy like this, the more i play, the more competition makes the championship better than in previous years.

[banana33]

However, seeing such a quick goal, there were many goals expected in the match, after Ferran Torres' goal in the 5th minute, PSG did not see any more goals in the whole match. PSG maintained the attack throughout the match, but at the same time Brestois also tried a good counterattack to equalize the score somehow, but there were no more goals in the whole match. A 1-0 win from a strong team like PSG is actually a bit disappointing, especially since they scored a goal early on, so I expected a lot of goals in the match. Anyway, PSG finally won a match in Ligue 1, I hope they will now continue their winning streak in Ligue 1, because they are currently in 7th position, they now need to earn many more points and move forward to reach the top position.

Seeing Paris Saint-Germain so low honestly makes a huge impression, but also consider other teams who were at the top last season and are now at 4 points and i is talking about Lens. This is another team that is disappointing me greatly this season.
I didn't expect it to hurt so bad in the first few days.

This is what I noticed about PSG, they are more focused on UCL just like last season, they want to make it 3 in a row. Then when it comes to league matches, they start playing like they are new in Ligue 1. I don't know if PSG is underperforming because other teams have improved or their main aim is not winning the league this season?, but it's certain that PSG will surely come back, and when they do so, they will be very unstoppable as usual.

Lens isn't surprising, what surprised me more was how solid they were last season. But I expected that mid-table teams like that wouldn't be able to sustain a high level of performance season after season, since they often sell their best players. As for PSG, I don't know perhaps after a few successful seasons, they started thinking too highly of themselves and are now paying the price for it. We'll see if Enrique can pull the team out of this crisis.э, or maybe it's just a case of the players being out of form and needing to get back to their best.

I suspect PSG is playing a few trick on their fans. I mean check out their opening game in the Champions League the have the highest goals in the tournament already followed by Bayern. Maybe the Ligue 1 is about to face the drama we all glamour for. Unlike other season this very season is having a different turn maybe we might be a task the club has given to themselves to come from the middle table and take the title when everyone has lost hope in them igniting new excitement in the league.

PSG is still very much in the race. They only don't want to waste their energy on the local league when they have a difficult task ahead in champions League. PSG has tasted the champions League and wouldn't want to stop winning it anytime soon. So they're putting in everything possible to stay in the champions league. More so, they're just 5 points behind the top of the table and it's equivalent to only two wins to get to the top should Lille and Monaco lose two games more.

This team is not to be written off at any point in time because they're always focused and towards the end of the season, when they've analysed the number of games left to win the league, you see them coming back like they were never weak. Back in the years of no champions League for them, they've always kept a hood streak in the league, but now they've seen they can be able to win the champions league, so the goal is changed and the focus divided.

The league is only 4 games gone and this team is 5 points behind mid table teams on top. I know that seasons change, but there's still no strong contender to challenge PSG. If Lens could not sustain the lead last season after leading for many weeks. The strength of a team is known when the season has gone far and injuries start happening. That's when each team will test their bench and if your bench can't sustain you, you drop out easily.

The earlier we realize Paris Saint Germain is not in good form this season the better for us, at first I was thinking maybe it's just a pretence, but after a few games played I have just come to realize they are not in good form actually, let's keep their performance in the UEFA champions league aside, the fact is those people they played against are below average compare to them, had it been it's any of Europe top five average team trust me Paris Saint Germain cold loss the game, if care is not taking this season they might go trophyless.

[giorgione]

Exactly the scoreline will tell you that psg struggled in wining the match, Just imagine if they didn't scored that early goal maybe they would played another draw yesterday, and I'm still wondering how a club like psg played 3 straight matches without securing 3 points. We can't even say they hoped in wining champions league because is too early for that even their first champions match this season was against a small club which is slovan bratislava, with their recent performance right now if they meet any of the top clubs in Champions I'm not sure if they'll be able to win any match. I could remembered when Manchester United focused only on winning Europea league 2 seasons ago, they finished 16th position in Premier league table, I understand that the season is just starting if they want to win trophy this season let them start performance well now before is late for them.

At this rate i think the Paris Saint-Germain players, fans and manager need to reconsider their arrogant claims about winning a third Champions League in a row.
If they already suck so badly in the French league, which is easy, let's say it loudly. How do they plan to play well in the Champions League?

[cande86]

I wish it continue like this.

Paris Saint-Germain is starting to get tired in my opinion, simply that. He really gave a lot and won the second Champions League in a row, it's normal that after the World Cup the players are tired, let's give them time to recover a little and you'll see that he will return to his old self, strong and also fun to watch.

Does this even make any sense? How can they be tired of winning trophies, if they're tired then what are we going to talk about Bayern Munich who has dominated the Bundesliga for more than 20 years. PSG is not finding it easy in the French Ligue because almost all the teams they've played with doesn't want to make it easy for them because they all want to end PSG's dominance in the league which is a good one. Did you see how those teams put in extra energy to frustrate PSG, it's not like they are not trying their best but we should understand the way things are happening to them.

In other hand, PSG might even prefer a third straight Champions League title to another French title. PSG still holds a high chances of winning the Champions league because from the score they got in their first match, it was obvious that their energy will be used more in the UCL games than the French ligue.

It’s not a case of PSG getting tired after winning all those trophies. They have made drastic changes to the squad by including high-profile new talents like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ferran Torres, and João Neves. It will naturally take some match time for them to achieve perfect sync and coordination. Since it is too early in the season, the manager is experimenting heavily with the lineup.

[Salahmu]

This season, I can see Monaco is serious again with other team, they have gang up against PSG, they are trying by all means to stop PSG from winning the League1 title which if they are serious they can achieve because they are not in good form this season.

Unfortunately Lens actually surprises me because the opportunity they were so determined to have last season have presented for them as PSG the only club who could not allowed them to win has not gotten over what is disturbing the team, so perhaps if Lens hadn't lost form, this would have been them leading the first position currently on the table, but however even if PSG will soon recovered I don't think Lens would also do the same because PSG situation is different and they're not missing anything but only just for there coach to become a strategic coach again for them to rise.

However, it's not enough to perform well at the beginning of the season, winning a few matches and winning the title is not the same thing. So to win the title, you have to perform consistently throughout the season, very few teams in Ligue 1 have that ability. That's why PSG can win the title very easily.

That's the question, whether they are capable of maintaining their consistency. Because even though at the start of this season the top 3 teams in the standings were performing well, no one can guarantee that they can keep up this performance. Meanwhile, PSG has the squad and the depth to compete consistently throughout the season. Even though they were quite unlucky to start the season with a poor performance, we're talking about a team that has won Ligue 1 consecutively and the Champions League --- they definitely have a way to turn things around. It just takes some time until they can perform well again.
