Topic: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) - page 2. (Read 136691 times)

Before start of the event no one was sure as we will have these both sides into last four of this event as both were not good enough but now as we are having few days left for their next game against each other, so prediction is not easy but as we have results in group stages things are clearly giving some edge to PSG which won their home game and then have draw in Germany Borussia Dortmund is doing good job in this season even they are having not good performance in Bundesliga where they are having fifth spot and this is good chance for them to have win and try to take next seasons ticket as well, but this could be challenging.

Luis Enrique is having his first season and his performance is much better even they are not having any star player which was their trademark for the years, but his strategy is working, and now their fans are also having positive mindset for their win in this mega soccer event in this year or in next which is good change.

This is a brave step taken by Luis Enrique because they no longer have a high priority in continuing the League One match because they are almost guaranteed to win the title, but now PSG is focusing on the Champions League semifinal match against Dortmund.

I think Luis Enrique has his own strategy so he doesn't rest some of his main players for more important matches and so far nothing detrimental has happened to them.
Kylian Mbappe is still as usual, he really is a potential player who has everything so he can always put out his best performance if he gets strong support from his teammates.

The match was a draw for the two teams for a very reasonable reason because both teams were able to give their best in the match. But what was more unique in that match was the home team, Marseille, because that team had to play with ten players in the second half and was able to survive until the match was over. This means that Nice really couldn't take advantage of this opportunity to get a win so they had to be satisfied with the draw and keep them in the top five positions in the current standings.

Kylian Mbappe never stops scoring goals and in last night's match against Lorient he also contributed through the brace he scored. It feels like PSG's steps to immediately securing the Ligue One title are getting closer and they only need a few more matches to close the season with the title. Luis Enrique also does not save his players' energy and they will remain consistent if the chemistry on the field continues to be maintained.

This is very important for the next match and therefore Luis Enrique's decision not to rest several of his key players is very correct. On the other hand. Lorient, who suffered a crushing 1-4 defeat, also have to be patient considering they are still stuck in the relegation zone and they have to fight to get points in the remaining matches. Of course they want to start a new journey next season and this season I don't expect Lorient to experience a continuous drastic decline.

PSG qualified for the semifinals because they were lucky when they faced Barcelona in the second leg without me explaining, everyone already knows what happened in that match, if it wasn't for the luck factor PSG might not have been able to qualify for the semifinals, just look at their home match against Barcelona. , PSG played badly even though they have a pretty good attack line but PSG still had difficulty breaking through Barcelona's defense so PSG was quite lucky in the second leg because Barcelona experienced weakness at the back which was caused by their defender getting a red card so even though PSG's chances were not completely 0 to win the title The Champions League does not rule out the possibility that Real Madrid will remain the favorite club for most people to win the Champions League title.

PSG indeed has a very strong ambition to win its first Champions League title, therefore perhaps PSG will make the best use of its time to beat its opponents in the semifinals, PSG only has 3 more matches to go through in the Champions League, even though it looks small, that's where the difficulty lies. will make the competition interesting and of course it will be very tense, I favor Real Madrid to win the title but actually I also don't mind if PSG is able to make a difference this season in the Champions League.

Maybe if Faris Moumbagna had not received a yellow card for the second time the result of the match could have been different with Marseille who got three points, because Nice was helped enough by their opponent only playing with 10 players so that they were 1-2 down, Nice could have scored a goal to equalize.
This draw is actually quite unfortunate for Marseille because they are still far from the European competition zone. It is possible for Marseille to be able to play in the Champions League by becoming European League champions but this is much more difficult, so it is quite unfortunate that Marseille will probably not compete in Europe for next season.
Marseille experienced improvement but experienced a decline again, Could it be that playing in the European league makes it difficult for them to maintain their performance in Ligue 1? because five matches only produced two points is a bad thing for Marseille, it is difficult for Marseille to catch Nice in the standings.

In today's match in French Soccer League, Marseille vs Nice two teams came to the field to play. Performances of both teams were equal for which neither of the two teams could win today's match. Marseille 2 team scored 2 goals and Nice team also scored 2 goals for which the match was a draw.  Nice team player T. Moffi scored the first goal in the first 13 minutes of the game. However, Marseille team player scored 1 goal in 31 minutes to equalize the match and then scored another goal in 56 minutes to lead Nice team. After halftime, Nice team player M.  .Bard scored the 2nd goal in the 72nd minute to draw the match.

Monaco had a really big opportunity to get past Brest in the standings and they took it.  First they beat Brest away and they won their missing game yesterday as well. It was a really tough game against Lille though but still Monaco managed to win by 1-0. The gap with Brest has reached 5 points now while there are only 4 weeks left.

I assume Monaco would maintain the second position until the end. I see the toughest game as the one against Lyon away which is in three days. Maybe Nantes might also make difficulties for Monaco as they are trying to stay away from the relegation zone. From now on Brest also had better focus on securing a ticket for the Champions League more.

PSG still able to managed their winning streak at Ligue 1 because yesterday they can win with big scores from Lorient 4-1 and Mbappe and Dembele can scores 2 goals each on that match and actually this result is predictable because Lorient performance was very poor this season even they almost be relegated to Ligue 2 and currently PSG can collect 69 points from 30 matches and mathematically PSG only required 3 points again to lock first place and became an the champion of this season

For other match Monaco can successfully to overcomes tough team Lille with narrow score and according to the statistics i can see Monaco was playing with slightly under pressure but they playing more effective compared to Lille and can win this match and Monaco was confident they can finish at 2nd place under PSG and Monaco has 5 points above to Brest but i am quite sure Monaco can able to reach their target

And for Marseille unfortunately they still unable to gets the winning results in Ligue 1 because yesterday Marseille have to satisfied to playing draw from Nice and this result too makes Marseille position still remains at 8th place and for Nice i think they performing poorly because Nice was unable to beat Marseille which yesterday Marseille have to playing with 10 players and this result is make Nice was failed to cut their points gap with Lille and Nice position on League Table is not safe because they only have 2 points above to Lens and if Nice still unable to bounce back in the next several matches then possibly Lens will taking over their position

Of course, things like this really need to be done by clubs that have more difficult competitions such as matches in the UCL, currently PSG is prioritizing the UCL because PSG has enough advantages in terms of points in League 1 and to keep its players performing at full strength. PSG must rotate when they have a match in the first league, at least to prevent players from getting injured which will make PSG experience difficulties when facing Borussia Dortmund.

However, in last night's match PSG played with their mainstay players such as Goncalo Ramos and Mbappè. I think PSG will continue to rotate players like when facing Lyon, statistically Lyon is better than Lorient but I don't know if PSG actually took quite a high risk using Mbappe in this match, I even thought Lorient wouldn't be able to beat PSG even if Mbappe wasn't in it, without Mbappe PSG should have been able to win easily.

Currently there is no burden for PSG to play in the league, so Enrique should indeed start to guard and avoid his main players from injury now, the victory against Lorient yesterday further solidified PSG's position at the top of the table and actually PSG could celebrate their championship this season if Monaco lost other match against Lille, but unfortunately Monaco's victory forced PSG to celebrate their title next week when facing le Havre on the condition that PSG must win and although the difference in points with Monaco remain 11 points, but Monaco can no longer catch up with the points with only 3 games left.

At the moment Enrique should focus more attention on the Champions League and Mbappe, Dembele, Donnarumma and also Vitinha should be avoided by Enrique to play in Ligue 1 if indeed they want to win the Champions League this season, the players I mentioned are PSG's main players and honestly they have a big influence so far in every PSG game,  so if they suffer an injury then it will certainly only harm PSG and of course make PSG will find it difficult in the Champions League later.

Even if Mbappe is in PSG, PSG's chances of winning the Champions League are very high, but it cannot be said. Only Mbappe we have seen before the best star in the world played for PSG but still they could not fulfill their dreams of winning the Champions League title. With all the rumors about Mbappe leaving the club, it can be said that Mbappe could join Real Madrid in the next transfer window. If Mbappe joins Real Madrid as soon as the next transfer window opens, then Mbappe will have the opportunity to play in the next round of the Champions League for Real Madrid, and if Mbappe has the opportunity to play in the Champions League for Real Madrid, his dream of winning the Champions League title will be fulfilled. 

No player is permanent at any club. Cristiano Ronaldo played for Real Madrid for a long time and he was definitely one of the best stars at that time but still Real Madrid could not keep him permanently. Similarly, Mbappé may leave PSG, but even if PSG does not get players like Mbappe, they may try to recruit good quality players to their club.

sorry about the misunderstanding. I thought you were only comparing Mbappe with other players in domestic competitions but it turns out that overall in all competitions such as the UCL.
I admit that if you compare Mbappe with other players as you mentioned before to compare in the UCL competition, Mbappe is still the top scorer at the moment because the team he is playing for is currently able to qualify for the next round and is certain to continue to score even more.
and indeed for this season Mbappe looks more dominant than other top players because there was a very clear goal before he left PSG and I once said that there was a big possibility before leaving PSG, Mbappe would give the best gift throughout the season trying to get the UCL title in this season.

of the 3 matches, only 1 gave a disappointing result in the Monaco vs Lille match and previously I also said that this would be an interesting match and initially I thought both teams would score equally because both teams didn't want to lose points when they had to defend each other current position and Monaco performed very well yesterday, being able to get 1 score and maintain this result without conceding and this victory strengthens Monaco to be in the runner up position.

and for the Marseille vs Nice match Marseille could actually have won this match but after Moumbagna committed a foul and left the field, Marseille performance became a little bad and Nice was able to score 1 additional score to get a draw in this match.
just imagine what if Marseille could appear with 11 players, they could definitely get a winning score in yesterday's match.

Lorient vs PSG, without any explanation PSG will still win looking at the line up that Enrique used in yesterday's match, all the main players appeared in the right formation such as Mbappe, Dembele and Goncalo Ramos in the right attack line but unfortunately Goncalo Ramos is rumored to be Replacing Mbappe, he couldn't score a single score in this match.

Considering that they are currently advantaged in terms of points in the league, I think it would be right for them to rotate in the French league. Imagine if Mbappe was injured? Something happens that reduces the chances of reaching the finals of the Champions League or even winning the championship. That's why I think resting Mbappe as a rotation would be a good option. Other important players like this also need to be rested.

Yes, because financial fair play is regulation and policy that can truly benefit all parties, from the players and each football team, they get eligibility or opportunities in truly fair trade.
Just imagine, if financial fair play didn't exist and everything could be done freely, then those lower middle class team who only had limited finances and were trying to build team would never be able to have good development.
Everything will be controlled by big and rich team, besides that, football can become place for mafia people who take advantage of everything in football to make personal profits.

Currently, there are several young players who appear to be being targeted by PSG with quite high selling prices, they are taking advantage of their financial strength to attract the interest of players and team so they want to sell.
But there is no clear certainty about who will actually become PSG players in the future, there is no official statement from PSG regarding the offer they have submitted.

Did anyone really believe that Lorient had a chance? There is great tension in the teams before the match against Paris SG because there is a big difference between the teams in the French league. Paris SG is a good team and they have serious economic power. They manage to recruit good players and add them to the team every year, but other teams cannot do this. France has an advantage similar to the one Bayern Munich has in Germany. This is why the excitement of the matches is lost, but there have been some other teams that have become champions despite this recently. For example, Lille. That's why the excitement continues to happen sometimes.

Although winning the Champions League is a big goal for any team, it is not easy to achieve it. PSG will face Germany's representative, Dortmund, and the match cannot be considered easy because Dortmund will definitely try to play better in order to qualify for the final. PSG is indeed quite the favorite to advance to the final, but they have to be careful because in the Champions League something can happen that is beyond prediction.

PSG will be much more focused on preparing for the Champions League match and maybe they will try to rotate players when facing the domestic league. This aims to ensure that the core players they have do not suffer injuries because if some players cannot be used it will make PSG a little troublesome to face Dortmund.

The inconsistent performance of Chelsea is one that is now a major worry for the fans because as a big club, this is not what the fans expect as the club hasn’t managed to have at least 5 straight good matches and this has now made the club be seen as a mediocre club. You can blame a lot for the bad performances from the inconsistent and worrisome defense line to the wrong tactics of the coach.

 ⁠You can say a lot is wrong with the club already and this is quite worrisome especially after the club’s new owners have spent quite a lot on the team to see that the performance tries to improve more than how it was last season. The club needs to bounce back to winning ways and one way to that is to immediately address the issues bothering or causing these challenges as the club is a big club and shouldn’t be in this state next season.

 ⁠Poch yes is one of the problems though he’s good with management of players as you can see how he’s improved the attitude of these young lads whilst on the pitch of play. I think the club still needs one coach who’s sound tactically to be able to manage these boys and give them the right tactics to use on the pitch of play.

 The club owners have spent alot and should be reaping their fruits of their investments but rather things are going sour, though to an extent they too are somehow the problem of the club for signing these young players to. Well it’s not too late as the board can address these challenges and bring the club back on the competitive radar across Europe.

Indeed. It's only the first and second leg of the UCL match to decide which club will continue to the final. And indeed, We'll see how Mbappe can get his teammates to be as optimal as possible in the semi-finals. At least, they also have to be optimal in their first game, because they will play against Dortmund away. What is certain is that Dortmund has more advantages than this. However, if PSG can win in this first leg, it will definitely bring even more benefits.

However, Dortmund and PSG were in the same group phase, where Dortmund was the leader of the group and PSG was in 2nd place. So, it certainly won't be easy for PSG to actually beat Dortmund. Because sometimes, Dortmund competes quite surprisingly, beyond the expectations.

The results of yesterday's games didn't bring any big surprises, but I confess that I didn't expect the PSG coach to use his best squad in yesterday's game. This clearly showed that for PSG management the number 1 priority is to win the league and the sooner they confirm that they are champions the better for PSG management, with yesterday's victory PSG only needs to win the next 2 games only, and seeing as PSG's next 2 opponents are not strong opponents, so I see that PSG will celebrate winning the title when they play against Toulouse who in the last 5 games had only 2 wins, 2 draws and one defeat. Toulouse is not fighting for the title, they are not fighting for a place in European competitions and they are not in danger of being relegated, they are very far from the relegation zone, that is why when Toulouse plays against PSG, they will play without lots of motivation

So I see a very easy victory for PSG in the game against Toulouse, this scenario would change if Toulouse lost in the next 2 games, in that case when they play against PSG, they will try hard to win because they won't want to be close to the relegation zone. Be that as it may, even if Toulouse played seriously, in the last few games Toulouse hasn't beaten PSG; This is actually kind of funny

PSG 2 - 0 Toulouse
Toulouse 1 - 1 PSG
PSG 2 - 1 Toulouse
Toulouse 1 - 3 PSG
PSG 4 - 0 Toulouse

with this history of defeats that toulouse have had whenever they play against psg, it is safe to say that if psg wins in the next game, then when psg plays against toulouse, they will win and will celebrate winning the title
