French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Princess Leah]

~~

Even if their favorite and best players are dropped, I still do not see them losing that game at home tomorrow. The newly promoted Le Mans will rather be suffocated. They're no match to PSG and being one of the worse sides in French league one, they will most definitely struggle.

Why do you think players like Lucas Digne and the other attacking was signed up? They was literally brought in as replacement for games like this to handle rotation and also avoiding fatigue. They're more focused on the Champions League fixtures against Manchester City which they intend to win as defending champions showing strength when it matters.

Most of those important players just got back from the international duties and would need to rested ahead of the important champions league games, it’s not like their league game isn't important but can't risk the fitness of their best players to win a league game they should easily win without featuring them.

 So i think giving them few days to rest after running from the international break is a good option, moreover it's an opportunity for other substitute players to be used since the team they're playing against is not a tough. Why are people undermining PSG, is it because of the few games they lost earlier?

[Zoomic]

It has gotten to the point where Paris Saint-Germain doesn't mind losing their league games. Don't be surprised if PSG lose or draw against Le Mans at their home stadium tonight.

Paris Saint-Germain has decided to drop Dembele and Mendes ahead of their match against Manchester City in the Champions League. The purpose is to have a fully fit Mendes and Dembele that night. This means both players will not be training with the team until tomorrow or next tomorrow.

Who told you that Paris Saint Germaine doesn't mind losing the French Ligue 1? Remember they struggled in their opening league games of last season but still ended up winning it. They know they have all it takes to return to top spot, I think they'll return to top spot.

Even without Ousmane Dembele, I think they'll still win their game tomorrow against Le Mans. Some of their star players will not be starting tomorrow after their involvement in the just concluded international break.

Such a poor start for PSG was really difficult to predict, but that's football, anything can happen. I think Enrique understands the importance of every single win now, and I have almost no doubt that PSG will win their next Ligue 1 game. The problem is that the odds on their win are only 1.08, so obviously there is no point in betting at such odds. Considering PSG's motivation, I can't really think of a good bet for this match. I think the best option here is to watch the game and hope PSG concede first, because then the odds on a PSG win should become much more attractive.

This is their game to win, after seeing the odd I concluded that PSG are taking the 3pt after all they are playing in front of their fans so is a sure win. Something about the league 1 is how poor the other teams are, waiting for PSG to lose like 3 to 4 games then the winners of the Ligue 1 title will still be PSG. This is why I believe PSG are the champions already. Clubs like Lyon need to step up their game even Marseille too are suppose to be the ones to give PSG a run for their money but as it stands is a one man horse race. If I'm betting on PSG in this game is go for goals selection like over 3.5 goals because it must happen since they haven't been at their best in the last 5 games this is a chance to start adding up points, no more draw or losing. PSG is a big example of start poor and finish well.

The real bookies actually love it when you bet on high goals just because you rely on hope. The other team is coming to PSG home to do one very clear thing, which is to padlock their entire backyard and refuse to give PSG any space to breathe.  If PSG do not bring that spark of their A game into that pitch, then Le Mans will shock them with a heavy defensive display in the whole match, so praying for them to concede first so you can bet on them to do a comeback is just playing with fire.

This is PSG we are talking about and yes that is true about the bookie but I give you assurance that PSG will absolve the pressure and take it back to them in a different form and like we all know they already lost so many point before going for the break, not being on top of the table is something PSG are not use to so I see them take the rest of the season to another level, no much dropping of point to any weaker team especially and as well making the league much comfortable for themselves to have a free passage to win the title. It must surely happen for PSG to always do what they always do every season unless one team steps up and stop them but for now their next opponent Le Mans have to sit back and enjoy the trashing because there will be no mercy in this game. Enrique has already planned how it will be and the players are all coming with a different energy.

[Alex077]

PSG need the three points to fight for the league. They are currently 6th in the table, with 8 points from the last 5 games. Monaco is becoming more interesting to watch this season, they look like a promising team to compete with PSG this season.

Winning every match is crucial for PSG right now. Moreover after match against Le Mans, PSG is set to face Premier League giant Manchester City. That is why I am certain Luis Enrique will field his second string squad for this match.

It is all but certain that key player like Mendes and Dembele will be left out of squad. same time, we likely won't see Torres in squad either. Enrique will not want to take any risk with key player ahead of the Champions League match. PSG players will make no attempt to play overly aggressively.

There is no doubt that PSG is heavy favorite for this match. They have 99% chance of winning this home game. However we know that football is always unpredictable. Therefore it would not be wise to take high risk on PSG victory. At the same time, betting on PSG win wouldn't yield significant return. odds are very low. It is best to avoid betting on this match.

[Agbamoni]

PSG top priority is to win Champions League this season, PSG want to become the second club in the history of football to win three Champions League in a row, Real Madrid is the only club that has done it before, and PSG want to do the same, PSG sign Ferran Torres and some players to play the league games, and Dembele and some key players are the ones who will play the Champions League, that is what they did last season and people are saying that Dembele deserves another Ballon Dior.

Well, this is actually the truth. With or without Dembele and Mendes, PSG will win their league. These players have to be fully fit for the Champions League because Manchester City is a tough fixture.

Most of those important players just got back from the international duties and would need to be rested ahead of the important champions league games, it’s not like their league game isn't important but can't risk the fitness of their best players to win a league game they should easily win without featuring them.

It has nothing to do with the international duties. They were not the only players who went for international duties. The others are back and ready to play for their club. Apparently, Dembele didn't get enough minutes in the international break. he is always substituted in the second half or brought in to have a small minute in the second half if he didn't start for Zidane.

There are always times like this in football when it will seem like nothing is going on well with the team, they will play all they can but luck won't just be on their site and this is exactly what's happening to PSG at the moment. All the players know this and they are working towards turning things around. Would they be able to get a victory in this game, that is what we don't know for now, but we'll wait to see how things unfold or how the game will end after 90 minutes of play.

One thing I know for sure is that this is French league one, and no matter how things look bad for PSG now, they will still have a way of turning things around and securing victory in their games, and might still end up winning the league like they always do. This is why the Premier league is different from the other leagues, because in the EPL, it demands that you kick-off the season with points and winning all your games, if you fall behind, you will definitely not be able to lift the trophy because other teams will overtake you.

Given that the odds for a draw between Paris Saint-Germain and Le Mans are over 10.00, I'm planning to bet on a draw. 🙋

Yes, of course, the probability of such a match outcome is very low... However, the potential reward is very high! As the saying goes, "no risk, no champagne." Considering this is the French football league, this proverb is more relevant than ever. If you're going to risk, risk big. Personally, I don't want to bet on an outcome with odds of 1.08 - 1.13. In my opinion, that makes no sense.

The renowned writer, trader, and philosopher Nassim Taleb believed that finding "black swans" is the most promising strategy in gambling.  I don't believe Le Mans can beat Paris Saint-Germain, but a draw is much more likely...

I think Paris Saint-Germain will conserve their energy before the decisive match against Manchester City. Le Mans' coach, for his part, will do everything possible to organize a strong defense and deny Paris Saint-Germain a single chance to score. The likelihood of a draw, in my opinion, is high enough to warrant a risky bet.⚽

A poor start doesn't mean that's going to be a poor end. PSG is the king of this league and Enrique Luis knows how to play his card very well. He has more important matches in the Champions League that he needs to attend to. Later, he will motivate his team to start winning their matches in Ligue 1 and if they start, no club can stop them.

Even though, PSG is third on the table, they're just two points behind and that can be closed back in just one game.

We saw almost the same picture from PSG last season. They have some problems at the moment, they are trying hard but there are some problems, such as wasting attacking opportunities, new players in the team, injury problems. PSG is among these problems and if they can overcome these problems, then we can see something good from them. It takes some time, if we get some time, then we will definitely see PSG do something good. They have performed well in the last two matches and they have won.

Apparently, Dembele didn't get enough minutes in the international break. he is always substituted in the second half or brought in to have a small minute in the second half if he didn't start for Zidane.

Ofcourse it's also part of the reason they were rested although you're free to disagree since everyone has their opinion but Dembélé and Nuno Mendez were granted extra rest period due to the international break, and it doesn’t matter whether he was used as a starter or not, he featured the whole four matches and it's the manager's idea to rest them cause of that.

 If the manager says he'll rest some particular players others who share same fate but weren't given equal treatment might feel bad but they have no choice, the manager has his reasons moreover they have a tough Champions league game ahead.

Sure, if any key player get injured, it will affect their performance in the Champions League. If you check their previous games, PSG field their best players in the games, yet they struggled to win the games. After what I saw from their performance in last five games, I have lower expectations from them this season, they lack the same quality as last season. Even though Luis Enrique field his second tier players, they should be able to beat Le Mans with plenty goals.

Manchester City is in form right now. This is one of the difficult opponents PSG will face this season, I don’t know how they are going to survive playing away against Manchester City. Manchester City is no longer the same team they beat last two seasons with a comeback. Luis Enrique may play Dembele and Mendes for few minutes today.

PSG is expected to beat le mans despite any internal problems that they may be having in the team. PSG needs to win the match at any cost because those three points they will get if they win will move them up from where they are to the third position at the top of the table.  So, I'm counting on them seriously not to throw away this opportunity but to walk away with all three points. Le mans is not a team that should worry PSG, so they better win this game so that they can close the gap with Monaco on the table. I believe PSG won't disappoint in this match, they better don't because many people are counting on them to beat le mans.

The 3 points they might get in this match are not guaranteed to put them in 3rd place, there are still many matches to be played on matchday #6, especially for Paris FC, Lille & Rennes. Like most others, I'm also convinced that Paris Saint-Germain will win this match, it would be strange for them to draw, given that their opponent is a weak & promoted team.

FYI, Nuno Mendes & Ousmane Dembele will not be playing. Even with those 2 key players missing, facing Le Mans shouldn't pose a problem for Paris Saint-Germain.

[karabiber]

Monaco is the favorite against Toulouse, but I don’t think Toulouse will be completely ineffective. Monaco is a team that picks up the pace at home, creates numerical advantages in attack with multiple players, and keeps the opposing defense constantly on the move. Toulouse is a team that can break quickly when it finds open space and poses a particular threat on the counterattack. I expect Monaco to score, but the gaps they leave in defense could allow Toulouse to get back into the game. For this reason, I’m expecting a match where both teams score, but Monaco comes out on top.

PSG are not starting their strongest lineup, so I'm not very confident about them winning this match. Although PSG's second string is much stronger than Le Mans, we shouldn't overlook the fact that the away team are fielding their first team, which could give them a chance to hold PSG to a draw.

I'm going to try a bet builder combining BTTS with double chance (draw or Le Mans) at odds of 6.10.

The game has started, and I also don’t expect Monaco to lose this match either because Lille has already overtaken them to top the League 1 table with the same 13 points with Monaco but they have the same goal difference, the reason why Lille is above Monaco is because they scored more goals I think.

But this match will make the difference; Monaco will put more effort in this match because they are the best team that can compete with PSG in this title challenge; they will be the team we can rely on to end PSG’s domination in the League1 because it is more or less like farmers league since only PSG has been winning it for long.

The two favourites of Ligue 1, PSG and Monaco, are playing at the same time. If Monaco loses and PSG wins the match, then PSG will have a chance to reduce the gap. But I don't think that is going to happen at the moment. Toulouse are a relatively weak team for whom it will be very difficult to get points against Monaco. I think Monaco will win at home, we have not seen any goals in 25 minutes of the game yet.

On the other hand, PSG is fighting against Le Mans, in this match PSG should get an easy win. PSG looks very aggressive and they are leading 1-0 in the first 30 minutes of the match. Maybe they will finish the match with a win. After these two matches, we will be sure about the top of the points table.

PSG is already leading by a goal and the first half is almost over, if they keep up with this tempo in the second half i am sure they will bang in more goals because the match will be more open. Lucas Beraldo did what he was paid to do on the penalty spot and that actually broke Le Man's plans because it looks like they had the strategy of just sitting back to absorb the pressure and defend in group. Now Le Man will be forced to chase the game. and PSG will definitely exploit them on a fast counter.

If PSG secures this win then it will be their third winning for the season after having 2 draws and I loss and a total of 6 matches played. I was expecting the first half to have many goals from. PSG as they play at home but overall they recorded 3 shots on target in the first half. Monaco on the other hand are extending their lead aggressively as they are leading 2-0.

Le Man's just have to try harder not to concede more goals in the second half but from the look of things the match might just be a single goal victory.

You Don't expect PSG to use their full strength to come up against a team like Le Mans while playing at home. If not of PSG slow start to the season nobody could have been talking about whether PSG is using their full strength or not to start a game. PSG is gradually finding themselves back because there was so many improvement in the performance of PSG today. 3:1 is not a bad result but it could have ended up 5:1 because, PSG missed two penalities towards the end of the game. My happiness is in the way PSG played they have gradually found their form back which is a good thing.
