French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[xzone]

-.-

Even though they are playing without several key player, possibility of paris losing at Parc des Princes is slim. The team has continued their winning streak for 7 consecutive match, which include incredible victories against two big shot like City and Barca.

Lyon isn't a match for PSG after seeing how impressive PSG played at their home ground. Even if Enrique might rotate some players, I still think they can win the match and take the top of the table. As for Lyon, it's starting to show that they're not very consistent, and the European league matches might affect their fitness. Given these circumstances, I think PSG have a clear advantage going into this game.

PSG is a very big team, and I don't think they'll lose this match. With the home advantage, I'm sure PSG will score 2-3 goals and win. Lyon is also a good team, but I don't think they have much chance of catching up.
PSG has started playing the way they should in recent weeks and has regained their quality. They need to avoid making mistakes; they will do whatever it takes and win this match

[Roseline492]

Paris Saint Germain has got lots of injured players, and all are key players, the like of Dembélé, Méndez, Hakimi, Doue, and lot more, so I fear if they can pull off this one, and their next game is against Lyon which are in the same title race as Paris Saint Germain this season, so even Lyon will definitely take advantage of those injured players to play them,

Yes the injured players is quite much in the club and you have even skipped some but however among all this players I think Hakimi is likely to be featured in the match because his injury is not quite serious like Dembele, even Desire Doue could also play the match but however between all there injuries the ones that would affect PSG the most is the Khvicha Kvaratskhelia injury and Dembele because this two forward are irreplaceable in their squad but meanwhile even if Lyon is on the first position doesn't actually make them to be extremely strong the way we are thinking because any squad PSG use should be enough to give them victory.

You're right, PSG has become the talk of the day especially their performance in Europe competitions. Back then they've been struggling to win champions league now they've won even make it twice in a row. From the look of things they're eager of winning champions league this season again,  if we look at theri performance in Europe you'll see how serious they're. Even in France league1 they're getting to the top right now just one goal difference and i believe they'll win their next match.

It’s definitely a great opportunity to bet on a Lens victory in the upcoming match. In their last two head-to-head meetings Lens has shown itself to be the better team than Paris FC by having secured victories in both matches. And their victory in the Round 22 match last season has made me even more confident that Lens has a strong chance of defeating Paris FC especially considering that they suffered a crushing 5-0 loss without scoring a single goal in return. So I personally believe that this upcoming match will result in a victory for Lens as their home-field advantage will put even more pressure on Paris FC. The available odds are very attractive for betting on this match. What are your thoughts about this prediction?

PSG is seriously giving their fans and non fans topic to discuss. They have climbed to second place in the Ligue 1 and dominant team in the Champions League. Their last game against Barcelona sends a serious message to every other team in the CL. Monaco whom I thought were ready for a competition this season has already dropped to 5th. I doubt of OL will stand at that top position after match day 8.

This is going to be a very big opportunity for PSG to take the top from Lyon, assuming it is not even an home match I will be a little bit doubting their Victory, but right now I am so much confidence PSG will not misuse this opportunity. Paris Saint-Germain were battling at the beginning but I consider that are something that was planned, despite their performances in their league, they were doing very well in the Champions League, which shows that they are in a very good position to win this French League because they know that they are the most strongest team in the league. PSG have shown that they are back to take their rightful position.

This PSG team are strong in Europe because most times, all they do is to rest their players for about one to two weeks when they have champions league game coming. This has made them become so solid when they face big teams in Europe and I've seen that their coach wants to retain the tittle again by all means, and if Luiz Enrique keeps using this method, believe me, PSG will keep on winning the champions league untill they are tired or u till another team start using this their tactics.

Most persons have not really talked about this their pattern because maybe they are all focused on their different leagues, but I have studied them and have taken time to analyze that it is what they do when ever they are to play the champions league. They know their league is not as hard as other leagues, because that kind of team cannot happy in the premier league or even Lalliga, that a big team will rest all their players because they are playing a champions league game the next week, and they won't get beaten by that team they are to play in the league that week. This is the secret why PSG keep winning big teams when they meet in the champions league .

Since the match is at PSG's home ground, I don't have much doubt about their victory. If it was an away match, there would have been some doubt about PSG's victory, because Luis Enrique has already lost his top soldiers. Even if he doesn't rest important players from the first squad in the upcoming match, the team's situation could get worse. So against Lyon, Luis Enrique might field his second-string squad to fight. As a result, I think it's natural to have doubts about the match. But in the home match, that doubt is contributing to taking the opposite position.

As of early September, PSG was 13th position in the league without a win, and most football fans were already saying that PSG won't dominate the league this season. Now PSG is currently 2nd with just a goal difference away from topping the league. I said it countless times that this isn't the first time I have seen PSG come from behind to win the league, it was just time they needed.

PSG has been outstanding in the UCL this season, they beat two top teams (Man city and Barcelona), and are looking unstoppable now. There's no doubt that PSG are favourites to win the UCL this season, because I don't see any other team that can stop them.

[Cossyblack]

In my opinion, Lyon is a team that is growing strongly, I see quality in their way of playing and I also see that they can assert themselves like Lens who are a little subdued at the moment (but not by much)
This in my opinion makes the French championship much more entertaining than in the past where only PSG dominated.

Yeah, there are honestly, and their performance isn't bad either. despite that, i still have my doubts. PSG has been the dominant team for a long time, so it won't be easy for any team to end their many years of dominance like that especially with their current form. Lyon has to invest in players. They need to buy quality players to end psg many years of reign.  The last time that i check, they didn't have the quality of players that psg has in their team. So my personal prediction for that game is that PSG would win. Lyon is doing exceptionally good but they don't have the squad depth yet to defeat PSG at the Pac des prince.

When we talk about competition in the Ligue 1 let's forget about Monaco, Lille, Marseille, Lyon and the other clubs I forgot to mention, we should be expecting that competition to come from teams that we least expected to do the needful, PSG can lose 10 games and before march they are leading the table with a promising point so where's the competition? As far as I know, the Ligue 1 is for PSG, they own it and nothing can be done to chase them off that number 1 position. After winning Barcelona the message was clear and they lost some of their key players due to injury which means their opponent need to take advantage of the fact that their key players are unavailable but it doesn't stop them from being the dominant and aggressive team in the Ligue 1.

Paris Saint-Germain does what it wants in France, they are the best ever and they are not in the French championship but also on the international one, they are at a level that is too superior for everyone, it is a team that is aiming to win the championship but also its third Champions League in a row, and it seems to me that they are very inclined and determined to do so.

Personally, I had serious doubts about PSG in the early stage of the season when they were struggling through series of matches. I thought they will have to wait through the summer to be able to fix and turn things around in a positive direction but they found their chemistry back as quickly as possible, I guess that's why they are champions of Europe and Ligue 1. Champions always find a way regardless of the situation, they don't panic but just kepp working and the results will come.

[Jessie2121]

Marseille doesn't look like a competitive team this season, looking at the table they are nowhere to be found in the top 5 teams in Ligue 1, no motivation at all. They should be up there competing with the top 5 teams, Lyon, PSG, Lille, Paris and Monaco, like what is Paris doing up there? Marseille should be in any of that positions mentioned, if you play well you move 2 steps up but for Marseille they are struggling, instead dropping very fast, no way are they going to be relegated that we know but how can we mention them amongst the top 5 strong teams in Ligue 1 this season when they are 10th and soon to be dropped off the topic of discussion? Well, I expect a win from Marseille against Le Havre, this shouldn't be a problem for them since they are playing at home, who knows if the fans can help cheer them up to play something beautiful against a team that is 18th on the table, they are not match for Marseille, a 4nil or 4-1 win for them would do.

They are in great form right now however, I believe the Barcelona squad from 2008–2011 was better than this Paris Saint-Germain . You are right regarding Champions League titles, but in terms of dominating the game and imposing their will on opponents, that Barcelona team was far superior to the current Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain possesses the best squad in French history, and we know they will win Ligue 1 again this year. They have a very strong roster at the moment and are aiming to win the Champions League once more. With Enrique at the helm, Paris Saint-Germain has the capability to beat any team.

Can OL hold PSG to a draw in match week 8. This is one important match in the Ligue 1 that will decide who stays at the top of the table. PSG has become a big threat in European games and OL don't stand a chance in this game. If it's a draw at the end of the game OL retains their position else they relinquish it to PSG. It's going to be one match where both sides will protect their interests. If OL can they can use the number of injured players in PSG as their strength to get a draw or possible win.

Draw is likely possible in this game but I would bet on PSG to win this one. Although PSG performance in the league is not that reliable yet but Lyon is not better either. If Lyon managed to get a draw, it's a win for them because they're already at advantage due to goal difference. There's injuries crisis in PSG but they still have enough squad and of course they would be playing at home tomorrow which we normally believe has a role to play in every team performance. Things are taking a new look this season but PSG is usually a much better team than the rest of the Ligue 1 teams even without one or two of their key players.

Hmm, do you still have doubts about PSG's squad? Even their backup players are almost as good as their key players. If you ask me, I'd say Lyon won't be able to hold PSG to a draw, let alone beat them. It's pretty clear which team has what it takes to dominate the top of the table season after season. Even when several key players are injured, PSG can still rely on their substitutes to get the job done.

PSG will be hoping to win this one because they might use all their big players and won't be resting them, but one thing this Luiz Enrique keeps doing is to try and preserve his bet players for big games coming up. The other night, Kwaraveskelia and Dembele were taking off in the champions league night due to injury in them, so I won't be expecting them to future in this game, except they got a quick recovery because I don't know if they've recovered from their injury.

Lyon also is a good side, but they know this PSG team that they are very solid, so winning them will be a difficult task to perform. Every one will be hoping PSG wins this one, but it seems people in their league now knows how they play, and also know how to play them, this is football, and surprises are bound to happen, so anything can still happen in this game, regardless of who is the favourite

You seem to be forgetting that Lyon is the ones toping the league, and would likely maintain that pace in other to secure the league title, mostly now that most of Paris Saint Germain top players are not in for the game, so you can't just write Lyon off this game, to be based on how good Paris Saint Germain is, and the home advantage, I still consider the wining possibilities 50/50 unless one team will out perform the other, but for now it's still 50/50 game, or Lyon most likely to win the game, but let's just wait and see how it ends.
