Yes, Luis managed a very good Barcelona side that have been built over time and they won him the treble. Well, I think him being at PSG, he’ll do no less than he did while at Barcelona but is the club ready to invest or are they leaving it all at the mercy of the coach to get the titles in. No business flourishes without proper investment

The team seems to be built all around Kylian and when Kylian is underperforming in a match, the team generally tends to underperform. Now you can imagine what holds when Kylian leaves by Summer, with this kind of performance, I think they’ll even struggle in their league which they’re known to win yearly, last season they almost lost it to Lens, there's a possibility that they could either lose it to Nice or Monaco this season.

No that's not fully correct as PSG could also be eliminated from the Champions League if they only get a draw against Dortmund. Newcastle has an advantage because they won their home game against PSG and tied the last game against them. This means if Newcastle can win their game they would have 8 points and PSG would have 8 points as well if they can not win the game and get a draw only. But Newcastle got 4 points out of the two games against PSG, which means Newcastle would finish second and PSG would be third and only qualify them for the next round in the Europa League. If they want to play it safe, PSG has to win the game.

Strasbourg once against, was bottling the game. The team was playing like it was being so clueless. Strasbourg didn't even know where must be going on. It was a total red flag for strasbourg as this team is slowly moving down even faster than before.
I can't even believe that how strabourg will be able to winning the game. Im very bad to see how strabourg was losing against reims. The club is now dropping to the bottom of standing now.
Strasbourg may be entering the relegation zone in upcoming weeks. The club is performing so badly. It was always facing the loss. I can't even imagine if strassbroug will be going back again to the lower league.
Strasbourgh needs to find a solution as soon as possible. The club needs to try to implement something new.

Lyon could surprise Lens. If some players cannot play in the Lens squad, the balance of the game will be disturbed. Lens does play quite stable and consistently. and a challenge for Lens if they have to play without some of their main players. I hope it doesn't create such a big gap.
Thankfully Lyon didn't have a good enough performance. even their performance last season was much better than this time. Lens is certainly more favorite in this match, and indeed they have enough chances to win. I just hope it's not a draw that happens.


getting a win at Dortmund's home ground is also quite difficult. their priority is to maintain a draw by scoring as many goals as possible. At least they still have a goal lead if they are forced to draw. but if PSG loses, then it will be a disaster for PSG who will be eliminated in the Champions League group phase. I hope they have better luck.

I doubt with Luis Henrique capacities for winning UEFA Champion League tittle this season looking for how difficult qualify from group stage and last match is very important to see result success or not PSG to next round. PSG difficult how to be compete teams for winning UCL tittle on every season, Luis Henrique still not give promising performance for PSG in Champion League until matchday 5 not qualify yet and have waiting last match against Dortmund.
Not relate comparison PSG performance in champion league with Manchester City or Real Madrid who 100% winning record in group stage and success qualify to next easily without waiting until last match.

In domestic league, PSG will face promotion team Le Havre have not really bad performance for first season appearance in Ligue 1, they have success get 1 point from AS Monaco and Nantes last week although they have played with 10 players. PSG must balance their performance between domestic league and champion league with each effort thing, in domestic league they must with left many points as possible by winning all matches and in Champion League should win last match if want keep existing in 16 round.

There are a few scenarios for PSG how to get into the next round of the Champions League, but the most straightforward of them all is to win the match against Borussia Dortmund. If it was not a home game for Dortmund, I would say that PSG has big chances to win the game. But in this case Dortmund has enough power to score at home and I would usually say this game is more likely to end with a draw. But that makes it dangerous for PSG as Newcastle could win their game and then take PSG's place in the round of 16.

Lens vs Lyon

I know Lens has just got humiliated by Arsenal in champion league with scores 6-0 and their chances to qualified to round of 16 also looks very slim but if in Ligue 1 Lens performance was quite stable that in the last 8 matches in Ligue 1 Lens still unbeatable with several times to win with big scores and for Lyon i know they had just gets their first winning this season from Rennes but i don't think they can repeat that result while against Lens today especially Lens performance was quite stable compared to them

About squad update between these teams Lens will losing Facundo Medina because of injured and Elye Wahi who got suspension and for Lyon there was no big problem for this team because almost all of Lyon main players will be available today including their striker Alexandre Lacazette and people are know because Lyon is a relegation candidate seems they will be very difficult to bounce back so my prediction is Lens will be able to overcomes Lyon today and probably with narrow scores and Lens has good odds @1.71 this is good odds to bet

Yeah lucky you, your prediction was right and congratulation. Reim was winning against strasbourg. Strasbourgh might not able to score a single goal if it was not being awared with penalty by the referee. Reims was not dominating the game but it always have accurate attack against strasbourg.
I don't know what's wrong with strasbourg. This team has been performing so well at the early season but its performance has been drastically decreasing a lot. I hope strasbourg will able to sort it out.

Strasbourg can't always lose three points or it's going to the relegation zone soon. Strasbourgh was only a few steps away to the relegation zone. This club may be relegated if strasbourg will not able to sort out all of problems owned by the club.
Reims is going to face nice soon and im doubting reims will able to win against nice. Nice may be very difficult to beat reims. The match can end with the draw as the final result.

Im placing for nice to win the game against lens. I don't really care with the total score as my main aim to see nice win the game against reims.

Luis Enrique has one last chance to keep PSG playing in the Champions League, for now their focus is only on getting through the group stage. even though it is not impossible, talking about PSG winning the UCL trophy doesn't seem like the right moment this season, however I still believe that sooner or later, with their abundant financial strength, they can build a squad that will be able to win this title in the future.

Theoretically, I think Enrique can become the most serious title challenger with Madrid, City and Bayern. but for now, just getting through the challenges of the group phase, they are already having trouble, as if all the attributes they have are not working optimally, and look mediocre.

Mbappe is one of the backbones of the club, many hope he can be the difference in every match, in the match against Dortmund the french star should be able to show his strengths. It would be difficult to say if PSG failed to qualify for the round of 16, maybe I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Your prediction was almost correct, but Strasbourg managed to score a goal through the penalty spot in the 88th minute which made the score end at 2-1. I expected the result to be like this and indeed Strasbourg would not be able to score more than 1 goal as I said at the start. Reims locked in their win from the first half but I think they should have scored one more goal while they still had a long time in the second half. However, their defense has remained consistent until now, making it quite impossible for other teams to score many goals against them. A good result and Reims will be more comfortable in 5th place and continue to move away from Lens.

@len01 the problem is that Ligue 1 has little competition which makes the player’s kinda lazy and when they come to champions league they’re unable to match their opponents intensity which is why they’re struggling to win that competition. Furthermore if they really wish to win the champions league then they should get their player’s to work harder and build a champions mentality and unless they do that I doubt they’ll win the champions league.

in league 1 currently I only see competitive competition in first place and runner up but the other teams have not shown strong competition in league 1 because they are busy with other competition schedules and for PSG who have the ambition to win the title in the UCL this will only be impossible because PSG is always less ready to compete with big, more experienced teams and I often say that PSG is too early to compete with Real Madrid or Man City at this time so maybe the opportunity to win the UCL title will only be something that cannot be obtained and an option that is not possible It best to just focus on the League 1 title.

The UEFA Champions League is the ultimate target for most of these elite teams in Europe, they don't care about any other thing except grabbing three points, exactly how everything ought to play through. Luis Enrique have an important tasks to fulfilled and winning becomes a priority for such a man placed in his position. Everything matters and no one is coming to give up other than achieving their goals mapped out for this season. Paris Saint-Germain have all it takes to win the UEFA Champions League and also winning the Ligue One which have turn out to be a regular trophy for them.

Yes okay,  I can understand why winning League 1 only is still important and can be considered a good result for PSG. But that is going to mean PSG is not improving.  I am sorry to say but winning the League One title only is not improving for PSG. They will have to show good performance in the Champions League competition to prove that they are actually improving. Or they could also face better competition in the league. But let's be honest, the competition is not suddenly going to improve in the Ligue 1.  So if they actually want to show improvement, they will have to perform well in the Champions League competition.

Predicting this match is not hard to say Reims is going to keep this result and even show better performance in the rest of the game while they are leading with a 2-0 result, I think is going to win easily.
Reims had a good performance recently in the games we saw from this team but in the last five meets we saw from Strasbourg they never won a game.

Reims is currently winning in the first half of the game but both team are equal on possessions more like a balanced game except with the number of goals where a slight imbalance Could be found but then I think by the indications so far If remis slacks Strasbourg will most definitely get an
equalize

Reims is playing from home so they happen to be at more advantage than Strasbourg but then is not a guarantee they will win because their opponent is aswell striving to get three points to step up the table aswell, currently, Strasbourg is at the thirteenth position with fourteen points currently the first half just ended with Reims leading by two goals already so most likely thy have the chance to win this match if they are good enough to protect their goals till the match ends.

Reims success scored first by Richardson in 10', and now they are leading 1-0, indeed it seems like Reims is better than Starsbourg. And tonight Reims will no have any difficulty to securing three points, as you said they must also be able to stay away from Lens who are currently threatening Reims position in the standings. I think in the second half the home team can also add another score, and maybe ended with score 2-0.

When you have a player like Mbappe on your team and all other teams have bad situations in hiring superstar players even if hiring a player like Mbappe is a dream for them you can have a much higher chance of winning the title in the league and imagine a coach like Enrique is working in this team. I think the chance for PSG to win the title is a hundred percent.

We agree, victory in the Matchday 6 match at Signal Iduna Park, Borussia Dortmund's headquarters means everything for PSG. Likewise with the PSG coach, Luis Enrique. will be a high stakes battle for his reputation. at least, according to my personal version. At the very least, PSG must qualify for the round of 16. after that, if they lost against another strong team it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Now, let's try to trace PSG's match ahead of the meeting against Dortmund. where, PSG will host Nantes. This match should not be a big problem for Luis Enrique and his squad. unless Enrique doesn't want to take risks and tries to rotate some of his second tier players. so that the main squad that will compete in the group phase will appear in prime condition.

On the contrary, before Dortmund hosted PSG. they will play 3 quite tough matches, namely, against Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Leipzig. after that, Dortmund will welcome their opposing team at Signal Iduna Park. With these 3 crucial matches, at least Edin Terzic's squad will be quite depleted in their domestic league matches.
Now, we refer to the odds offered by bookmakers. For the time being, PSG is superior with odds @1.86, while Dortmund is @3.90.  Well, actually I don't want to speculate at this time. however, I just want to say that Paris Sain-Germain has a high probability of winning this match. after all, if Dotmund loses, they will still qualify for the next round.

To be honest, I've already placed a bet here and I'm betting on Reims winning. There is no doubt in favoring Reims because they are still better than Strasbourg. The only thing that makes them quite strong is their defense and Strasbourg will probably have difficulty scoring more than 1 goal in this match. I believe Reims will not concede many goals and even if they fall behind first, of course they will still be able to make a comeback at the end. Well, Reims must win because Lens are starting to overtake them in the standings and they must do that in this match against Strasbourg.
