Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
We expected psg to win by a big margin against Nantes. But PSG did not manage to score any single goals in the first half. Although their players made several strong attacks, PSG failed to break Nantes' defense in the first half. We did not see any strong attacks from Nantes. Their target is to play defensively and draw the match goalless. However, I am sure that Luis Enrique will definitely change his match strategy in the second half. PSG will increase their attack speed. PSG players will try their best to secure 3 points from the first match of the season.
I had a bet on this game, I actually did take PSG for a first half result hoping that, it would be an easy outcome for them but nope, after looking at the lineups with most of its first team players kept as substitute, I knew the game was going to come by some difficult start. Nantes surely didn’t make it easy for them and were able to coordinates their attacks good. They pushed forward with several counters but, weren’t able to make anyone count. The center back defense line for PSG was really weak, they need to look into that.
Luis Enrique’s second half substitute made all the difference in this game, bringing on the big names and the goal was given, the press was on and they managed to secure their 3 points.
