Ligue 1 Betting Tips
We have settled on the best three Ligue 1 picks for in the Round 21 of 2021/22 season. Take a look below.
Friday, 14/01/2022
Prediction 1-Nice vs Nantes
Total Goals: Under 2.5 @ 18/25 (1.72)
This fixture will be a tough one for both teams. We are looking at teams that are having a great run of form and hope to continue that run heading into the final-half of the season. At second place, Nice is very much within UCL places. However, 36-point tie with third-places Marseille puts them under pressure to deliver. The fact that Marseille has a game in hand puts Nice even more under pressure. On the other hand, Nantes four consecutive clean sheets of 3W and 1D before this game means Nantes will be a difficult opponent. The visitors will fight to the last minute for points. Under 2.5 goals at full-time is our pick for this important match.
Saturday, 15/01/2022
Prediction 2-Saint-Etienne vs Lens
Both teams to score: Yes 18/25 @ (1.72)
Our second of Ligue 1 matchday predictions is the game between St. Etienne and Lens. We expect goals galore in this fixture, especially because both teams have shaky defences. Despite a 1-0 victory over Rennes in the first Ligue 1 game of 2022, Rennes had failed to keep a clean sheet in six consecutive Ligue 1 games and only managed two clean sheets in the last ten league games. On the flip-side, Nantes failed to keep a clean sheet in the last five Ligue 1 games, all of which were losses. The hosts had only one clean sheet in their last ten league outings. Both teams were on target in three of their last five encounters.
Sunday, 16/01/2022
Prediction 3- Monaco vs Clermont Foot
Match result: Monaco to win @ 1/2 (1.50)
Monaco faces Clermont Foot in the second Ligue 1 match of 2022. In the only five past meetings, Monaco won thrice, two of which were clean sheet victories, drew once and lost once to the promoted side. In the current season of 2022/22, Monaco has the fifth best home record of 5W, 3D and 3L. On the contrary, Clermont Foot is 17th out of 20 in away record after bagging only two wins in ten trips. The visitors also recorded 2 draws and lost six games in those trips.

Ligue 1's Title Contenders
Last season Lille ended PSG's domination of the Ligue 1 title by finishing 1pt above the French powerhouse. However, Lille lost their titler-winning manager to Nice and they have slipped down the pecking order in terms of the current odds for the 2021/22 title. PSG finished second but have added Lionel Messi to their roster this season, so surely nothing can stop them now. Monaco claimed third spot and Lyon came in fourth with Marseille 16pts behind them in sixth position.
Current Top Three in Ligue 1
- PSG – 40pts
- Rennes – 28pts
- Nice – 26pts

Ligue Top Goalscorer Tips
Mbappe cruised to the top goalscorer award in Ligue 1 last season, netting 27 goals. Monaco's Ben Yedder finished in 2nd place with 20 along with the now-departed Depay. Ajorque enjoyed a successful season in front of goal for Strasbourg, scoring 16-goals and Laborde of Montpellier, Volland of Monaco and Yilmaz of Lille also claimed 16 league goals. Amazingly, Neymar failed to reach double figures last season, scoring 9-goals and five of those were penalties, so he will be hoping to get a much better return now that Messi is once again his teammate.
Current Top Goalscorers in Ligue 1
David (Lille)-10 goals
Laborde (Rennes) – 9-goals
Amine(Nice) & Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco)-8 goals
Mbappe (PSG), Delort (Nice), Khazri (Saint-Etenne), Bayo (Clermont), Ludovic (Nantes) &Diallo (Strasbourg) – 7-goals

What is Ligue 1, and How Does It Work?
Ligue 1 is the top men's football league in France. People compare it to other European leagues, such as La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and the Premier League. The second tier is the Ligue 2 tournament, and teams who get promoted from it end up in Ligue 1. The teams who get relegated from Ligue 1, play in Ligue 2. The top twenty French teams compete for the title of Football Champion of France, and the league runs from August to May each season.
Each team participating in Ligue plays a total of thirty-eight matches in total, facing each team twice (home and away). The format of the league follows the same format other major European leagues follow, and the team who gets the most points during the Ligue 1 gets crowned champion. The 2021/2022 Ligue 1 will begin on the 13th of August 2021 and is due to end in May 2022.
Some of the top matchups include:
- PSG vs Marseille
- PSG vs Lyon
- Lyon vs Marseille
- St Etienne vs Lyon
Our Final Conclusion
Ligue 1 has a few teams that could win the title in 2022, but like other European leagues, a few clubs dominate over the rest of the division. The most likely winner is either Paris Saint-Germain, especially now that they have Lionel Messi on board. However, it's Lille that pipped PSG to the post last season and it will be interesting to see how they perform without Galtier at the helm. We can't wait to see what happens in the future and if our predictions come true, we will be really pleased with the 2021/22 Ligue 1 campaign.
