Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
I can assume that they will be relegated from League 1 and the transformation will not happen. They are worse than their competitors in literally everything (only Lorient conceded more goals, but scored much more).
As for the upcoming games, I think in the game with PSG their chances are quite real - PSG has already secured the title and now they have decisive games in the Champions League, they just don’t care about Ligue 1 now.
If we think about it carefully, this could happen and considering that they are not able to compete with other teams, it is very likely that they will not be able to improve their existing results. Their performance always weakens in every match and when they can't grasp this well then the results will just slip away. For Lorient, maybe they still have great enthusiasm to be able to do their best and have proven that they can escape from the red zone, but indeed if they have difficulty winning again then they might go down again.As for the upcoming games, I think in the game with PSG their chances are quite real - PSG has already secured the title and now they have decisive games in the Champions League, they just don’t care about Ligue 1 now.
PSG could think like that but still both are very important for PSG and I think Ligue 1 is the main thing they can get before finally working in the Champions League. Indeed, so far they have no problems in Ligue 1, they just need to win a few more times before ending their title this season.
There are 8 rounds until the end of the tournament and PSG's advantage is 12 points. Even if we are very bold and assume that Brest will score 100% of points in the remaining games, then PSG only needs to score 50% to retain the title. I think that they will cope with this task even with the second team.
I think that now in PSG everyone is thinking only about the Champions League and nothing else, since this time they found themselves on the easy path and the path to the final is open.
By the way, yesterday I saw information somewhere that the top 10 highest paid players in Ligue 1 are all from PSG
