Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
Besides PSG, Lyon has been playing consistently so far, with three wins in three matches, all with nine points. The only difference is the number of goals scored. The most interesting was their last match against Marseille; this was no easy feat for either side. However, Lyon had a higher advantage due to Marseille's red card in the 29th minute. Unfortunately, Lyon couldn't capitalize on their numerous chances to score. Luckily, it was like getting a bonus, an OG goal was scored by Lyon in the 87th minute, by Marseille player Leonardo Balerdi.

It has always been like this, the likes of Lyon, Marseille and Lille are always consistent during the first half of the season winning most of their games but towards the end of the season you will see them decline drastically there by giving PSG the chance to clinch the title, am not really surprised about how they are doing at the moment because at the end of the day it is PSG that will win the titles as usual, this is probably the reason why the french ligue 1 is not as competitive as the premiership or any other elite league in Europe.google/french-ligue1
League 1 is not as competitive as the other leagues because they don't have teams that can compete against PSG, PSG has always been the best team in the league by winning the title every season even without having a good season in the Champions League, seeing Lyon winning their first three games did not surprise me because they will later be fighting for too four before the season ends, they were able to defeat Marseille in their last match and they did a good job.
I think the reason PSG is the only team that wins the title every season is because they have more money than other teams in the league. I have never seen other teams sign any best players in their team, which leads me to believe that League 1 is similar to La Liga in that small teams cannot sign and register big players due to their salary cap.
