French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[B2Z]

Luis Enrique and his boys at it again, rested 8 - 9  players that played against Manchester City in the champions League, went behind in the half, reintroduced 5 of those starters and scored 3 goals to win 3 - 1 full time, Dembele even missed a penalty but that wasn't a problem. Enrique has built a squad that is being used for different competitions, that's a strategy and I admire that from him. It takes a great coach to have this kind of squad, add more stars and still try to satisfy these players by giving them game times. Real Madrid once had a team like this, Barcelona once had a team like this, Bayern Munich I think too once had a team like this and Manchester City, under Pep once had a team like this, the difference is that they didn't last more than a season because players were not properly utilised so they wanted to leave. Look at Enrique, using his team properly and people are complaining, lol.

I think PSG never really thinks about their Ligue 1 title. They started the match with a bench XI, although they started the match after conceding a goal in the beginning, but if we look at their performance after 70 minutes, then in one word, it must be said that it is extraordinary. After 70 minutes, they came back to the match brilliantly and scored a goal to equalize the team and then scored two more goals in a row to ensure the team's victory.

Luis Enrique has completely changed the PSG team since he took charge of PSG. Before, PSG was the most expensive team and then PSG meant buying big stars, but Luis Enrique has come out of that idea. He has proven that the performance of one or two players cannot determine the victory or defeat of a team, but team performance can make any difficult situation easier.

The PSG team, which has won two Champions Leagues in a row, is also the favorite in all types of tournaments this season.

[Davidloki]

Monaco unexpectedly lost the match. If they had been able to draw the match, they would have had another chance to stay at the top of the table. But after losing the match against Lorient, they are now in fourth place in the points table, with PSG at the top.

Lyon are at the top of the table with goal difference, and PSG remain at 2nd position. It was only a matter of time until PSG took back the lead, there was no panic whatsoever on whether they would win the league title this season. Monaco lost surprisingly but that was never impossible, PSG are back to their winning ways and we should see a different result in the incoming games too.


The French league also referred to as "farmer's league" is one of the easiest league to play and PSG are clearly the most dominant team there, and one of the most dominant in the whole of Europe too.

PSG is a team that always gives great performances, many of us think that they are not really interested in Ligue 1, but the result of the match speaks clearly.
True that they only committed themselves in the second half of the second half, but it is also true that if they had no interest they certainly would not have pushed to equalise and score two more goals.
In my opinion, it's the impression they're giving, that they're not interested, they're actually concentrating their forces in the Champions League, but that doesn't mean they're not doing well in the local Championship.
They started badly, but still have plenty of time to restore balance, but I have to say that these ups and downs in the league have given other teams room to gain points, I don't mind that at all.
A championship full of competition is increasingly followed and appreciated.
I didn't place a bet this time, I wasn't convinced by the result (to be honest).

[Female King]

Cheers to PSG's victory, even though they gave me quite a scare! 

Enrique seemed worried when he saw Strasbourg playing more aggressively in the first half. In the end, he added Hakimi, Mendes, Vitinha, Doue, and Dembele to win the match. If Enrique had made those substitutions at the wrong time, the match could have ended in a draw.

It is precisely because they have experienced manager like Enrique that they have been able to maintain consistent performance in both Champions League and Ligue 1. Due to dropping point in  first few match PSG had fallen significantly behind in points table. However following four consecutive win they are gradually attempting to regain their position. With 14 point from 7 match the team currently sit in second place. Should Monaco drop point in any of their upcoming game, PSG will have opportunity to reclaim top spot.

Lyon and Lille both started season strongly, leading many to believe they would challenge for  title and make path to championship much more difficult for PSG. But, their playing style seems not good to me. Although Monaco currently holds top spot, their recent performance have also been far from satisfactory.

The french ligue 1 is likely to be more competitive this season, although no team in ligue 1 can take away the title from psg, currently in the ligue 1 we have five teams line up with same points all have 14 points each, Lyon sitting first followed by psg, Paris FC, Lille and As Monaco. Among thses five team I see psg as the favorite to win the ligue 1 title. I believe psg as gain some form now as they have been on a winning streak, 4 consecutive win in their league and their 2-4 win against manchester city in the champions league, i think they will concertrate more in the champions league.

[kennycryptoitalia]

Enrique seems to be getting carried away and becoming too confident in the squad he has at his disposal. Having such a strong squad is certainly an advantage, but the way he expresses his opinions makes it seem as though he is looking down on Premier League teams. Beating a big club like City is certainly something to be proud of, but personally, I'd rather see him prove his point on the pitch than keep making comments that could eventually backfire on him.

Perhaps it's pretty obvious why Lorient were not the favorites. Monaco have had better results than the home side this season, so naturally, many bettors would choose Monaco to win, which could affect the odds. And your suspicion turned out to be right, as Lorient won. But, I'd call it a lucky win for the home side because they got the chance to score from the penalty spot.

BTW, if you had bet on Lorient to win that match, you might have made a big profit. 

Enrique is a great coach, he clearly knows what he is doing and i wouldn't question his choices, he commands a group full of very strong players who are prepared and managing them is not easy, which is why a leader like him knows very well how to manage the team and i think that for now he is managing the team so as not to make them get too tired.

[Oluwa-btc]

What a slow start for the League 1 gaints, but they have literally found a way back to the top of the league standing. This is always how they have done in the past and I've come to see that, a slow start do not define anyone.

Paris FC under Liam Rosenior leaves me stunned, thus is what we call consistency. They was close to sharing points for that game but they ended up securing three points as they also sit amongst the top four club in League 1. I'm not boggled by Liam Rosenior and whatever he is doing, he also did just the ame thing with Strasbourg. They could make it to the European spots by next season. Liam Rosenior indeed the guy carrying the plans of the management.

[Roseline492]

I don't like people who brag, not at all. Even though his team looks like the world best team for now, winning the champions league twice in a row and is going for the third one, and for the fact that there league games aren't any of challenges for them to win shouldn't be a reason why he should begin to proclaim that he can always beat English teams at pleasure and anytime.

I think people are mistaken what the coach said to be Bragging, I don't actually see it that way because already if you watch PSG against any premier League clubs it has mostly been a victory for PSG because of how strong they are so definitely if you are in his position I don't  think you would have said something different but unfortunately just like always the social media will rewrite and create a different view from what the coach meant, so actually I can't remember when he even brag about any trophy even when he won the champions League twice he didn't brag so I don't think he was bragging.

Look at where PSG is now in the table. In fact, no matter how they start, the main thing here is consistency. Monaco started very well, they were at the top of the table by winning matches in a row, but look, in the lapse of time they have moved to the fifth position at the moment, while PSG was outside the top 5, but at the moment they are now in the top 2 position. Although the 5 teams in the top 5 have the same points, PSG has calmly handled the situation, and now they have started to return to winning ways. There is no doubt that PSG will not go to the top, just as they went from outside the top 5 to 2 in just 2 matches, they will also go to the top now. And if we talk about the next match of Ligue 1, PSG will now play against Olympique Lyonnais who are currently at the top, that is, this is an opportunity to go to the top, hopefully PSG will easily beat Olympique Lyonnais and go to the top, but even if they lose this match, I will not say that this is PSG's weakness, rather I will say that PSG deliberately did not give importance to this match.

At the beginning PSG was not playing well and that was why they were not winning at the beginning, a lot of people were saying that maybe this will be a different season for PSG in the French League, at that time I was not convinced with the teams that are holding the top because I was still having confidence for PSG to make a very good u-turn and now they did. Lyon should be preparing to live the top, because right now i don't think that goal difference cannot be used against PSG, just as you said in a short time PSG will take over.

The French league also referred to as "farmer's league" is one of the easiest league to play and PSG are clearly the most dominant team there, and one of the most dominant in the whole of Europe too.

This is normally the reason why I don't respect the league so much because there's no a lot of competition, i consider it as PSG League because none of the teams can match their space

What is there is that Sevilla are not in good form, and if we look at their results in the last few matches, someone will definitely know that Sevilla would really find it hard to challenge Real Madrid in yesterday's match. Again, Real Madrid were the hosts of the game, so I expected them to win the match yesterday, despite knowing that they have been struggling to win matches these days.What I did not expect was for them to score many goals. I was expecting them to win the match by something like 2-0. I did not think they would have so many opportunities to score up to four goals.

Still, the result they got against Sevilla did not convince me that Real Madrid have improved significantly. I just see it as an opportunity they had against a weak team. I will know whether Madrid have improved when they play against Barcelona. Their performance against Barcelona is what will determine their current form.

[Silence Scream]

Friends, there is a very interesting league table in France’s Ligue 1. Looking at the statistics from Sofascore, five teams are currently tied on 14 points. Monaco, who were leading, have suddenly dropped to fifth place. Lyon are in first, and PSG are in second. The probability of Paris Saint-Germain winning the league again is now much higher than it was before. They had a poor start to the season, but they have managed to close the gap that is how you prove you are a big club. After dropping points in several consecutive matches, Paris Saint-Germain is now one of five teams in Ligue 1 sitting on 14 points.

[pawel7777]

PSG had a horrible start to the season, with only 2 points after the first 3 rounds. I was considering making a long-term prediction bet on them not winning this season, but luckily I didn't follow through with making that bet.
It looks like the first 3 games were just a hiccup and not a sign of any serious problems. PSG are back to performing at the highest level. After defeating Strasbourg 3-1 in an away game, they are now on a 4 league wins streak and now have the same number of points as the leader, Olympique Lyon.

PSG are scheduled to play Barcelona at home tomorrow, but I'm not sure if the game is going to go ahead as planned given the riots in France and a curfew imposed in some parts of Paris. If it's not postponed, it could be one of the best games in the whole league phase of the Champions League.

That's what sets PSG apart from the other teams in the French league. Even though they start the season badly they can bounce back and stay consistent whereas other teams even if they start off well can't remain consistent in every match. Take Monaco, for example many people thought they would be strong contenders, but by the seventh week they had already dropped to 5th place in the standings while PSG slowly climbed back to 2nd place and might take the top spot in the coming weeks.

It's the same as last season when Lens stayed at the top for a while, but eventually PSG slowly overtook them and ended up winning. Going further in the UCL over the past two seasons, the same thing happened they started the UCL badly but still managed to win. So, it can be concluded that PSG is a team with a squad and coach who can learn from mistakes.

Real Madrid won a match that was a given for me, if they want to finish first and win this year they absolutely must win and in large numbers against these teams and that's what they did perfectly, now we need to see if they will have the same performances against the strong teams, which i sincerely doubt.

PSG may not think much of League One as they are the most experienced team in this competition as evidenced by the fact that they were on the brink of defeat against Strasbourg but they took control of the match from the 70th minute onwards and won the match. So far in this new season I can see that five teams have achieved 14 points but Olympique Lyonnais are now at the top of the points table in terms of goal difference.

It is undoubtedly true that PSG are now back in great form as they have won four matches in a row in the French league as well as managed to win by a wide margin against PL club Man City So we can say this with confidence they will be most focused on the Champions League and today they face another experienced Spanish side in the UEFA Champions League match so it is conceivable that they will field their best XI against Barcelona because this team has become unstoppable this season.

Last season Lens were competing with PSG for quite a long time, but I think they lacked the squad depth to keep up with PSG towards the end of the season. Monaco have fallen off much earlier this time. Just a few rounds ago, they had a significant points advantage, but now they’re level on points with PSG. And it’s clear that PSG could easily become the outright leaders of Ligue 1 within the next few rounds.

Luis Enrique has earned the right to smile, he can't be categorized as being arrogant because, like it or not he has a very good record against english teams. Since he came in as the manager of PSG he has faced the english teams almost 18 times and he has won close to 12 of them convincingly, that can't be just mere luck but good coaching style and a very formidable formation. Also coupled with the fact that he did it in grand style by winning back to back UCL. So bragging or not it doesn't matter. He has earned the full right and it is allowed in football to brag. Beside he was stating facts.

You're guys are right, France league1 more competitive thos season and i so much like it that way and i wish those teams at the league table will continue with their very form they're right now. PSG has remained the only big clubs in France league1 winning their league back to back and other clubs seem not to be serious in wining the league, since PSG has remained the only club in France league winning all their trophies for some seasons now the league is not fun again to watch their  match. Now that they're getting to the top now i knew very well that they'll still put all their efforts in winning the league again this season, i i would prefer if other teams among the teams that has been mentioned here emerges as France champions this season.

I can see that, but should we call that as competition or just incompetence from other teams in the league?

PSG has not been that good since the beginning of the season, they lost some matches and drew somes, but these teams above couldn’t take the opportunity to maintain the points gap, they were not consistent until PSG trap their opportunities to get back to the top.
I am pissed with how Monaco failed to maintain their initial form, they lost their last match to gave up their performance when they had the chance to maintain the lead in the League1 table. I will continue to refer this as  farmers league because even if PAG is not good, they will win the league.

We all know PSG are struggling to win games this season and they're not even ranking first on their Ligue One table. Les Parisiens manager, Luis Enrique is trying to see how he would be able to rotate his squad and he did that in the past two seasons where it has helped them. I don't know how PSG do it but at the end of the game, they will always be one step ahead of their opposition and that's why they're the best team in the world.

Let's not condem or undermine Ligue One because it's competitive, PSG have humbled every EPL sides they've face this season and last season, Luis Enrique even made joking comments about the English sides about defeating them with ease.
