Ligue 1 is in the top 5 best European leagues. Every year, 20 teams take part in the championship, two of which directly go to the group stage of the Champions League. To get into the main draw of the Champions League, the bronze medalist must overcome the qualification barrier.

In Ligue 1, the competition is quite high, which fuels the interest of the audience. The bookmakers do not deprive the matches of the French championship of their attention. New users, most often, register on the main sites. However, a bettor can use the mobile application, register, make a deposit and place bets from their smartphone.

PSG Golden Decade

The main problem of Ligue 1 is the same as in the Bundesliga: the lack of full-fledged competition in the fight for first place. Suffice it to say that over the past 10 years, PSG have become champions 8 times. On the face of the total dominance of the Parisians. Will things change this season? Let's take a look at the list of favorites determined by betting company analysts.

- PSG

- Marseilles

- Monaco

- Lille

- Lyon

PSG

Bosses of the Parisians are unlikely to agree with the statement that recent seasons have been successful for the team. Yes, the "red-blues" regularly win the domestic championship, but in the international arena they are not doing well. And this is despite the fact that the club has a good dozen world-class stars. Moreover, last season Lille managed to take the crown in the domestic arena as well. The main question is: will the team have enough strength to fight on several fronts? Performance in the championship and in the Champions League depends on this. The ratio for the gold medals of the championship is 1 to 2.30.

Marseilles

The current coach of Marseille Igor Tudor intends to return the team to its former glory and return it to the football Olympus. Marseille has won silver twice over the past three years, but has never been able to conquer the gold peak. The club did a good job this offseason. Marcel Chancel Mbemba, Mateo Guendouzi, Cengiz Under and Arkadiusz Milik moved to the Velodrome. Such an increase indicates the intention of the "Provencals" to take away the championship from PSG. But now Marseille is not having the most successful period: the team lost three matches in a row. Bookmakers estimate Marseille's chances for first place at odds of 1 to 11.

Monaco

The main problem of the Monegasques is their instability. The team in the 2016-2017 season became the champion, and then almost flew out of the top division. However, the club hopes that the "red-white" managed to leave the turbulence zone. The team spent the last two seasons without visible failures, finishing the championship in third place. Team bosses have successfully worked on the transfer market. Aurelien Tchouameni was sold for 80 million euros, the money was spent on the purchase of several promising players. And yet, the chances of the Monegasque championship look rather illusory: 1 to 15.

Lille

Unexpectedly for many, Lille became the champion of France in the 2020-2021 season. But according to the results of the next championship, the champion dropped to 10th place. The same problem as Monaco - instability. After 11 rounds of the current championship, "Dogi" is at the top of the standings, slightly behind the teams from the top three. In the off-season, Lille sold their leaders Sven Botman and Zeki Celik, the new performers have not justified the hopes placed on them. The coefficient for the championship of the "dogs" is 1 to 18.

Lyon

Last season, the "weavers" failed and in the summer they began to urgently strengthen in order to return to the fight for medals. Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso joined the team, Nicholas Tagliafico was bought from Ajax. However, despite the solid gain, Lyon, apparently, is not ready to fight for the championship title. Bookmakers estimate the chances of the "weavers" for the title quite low: 1 to 21.
