Ligue 1 Betting Tips
We have settled on the best three Ligue 1 picks for in the Round 8 of 2022/23 season. Take a look below.
Sunday, 18th September 2022
Marseille vs Rennes
Marseille to score first
Marseille’s 2022/23 Ligue 1 season looks promising. They are hot on the heels of table toppers PSG because both teams have 19 points, together with Lorient in 3rd place. A home game for Marseille this weekend is their chance to go top of the table but that would take scoring more goals to get the massive three points. Reims is not an easy opponent given their strong defence that has leaked only 7 goals from 7 games. However, Marseille’s defence is even stronger because the hosts have conceded just 4 goals. We think Marseille will hit the target first.
Sunday 18th September 2022
Brest vs Ajaccio
Under 2.5 goals
The clash between Brest and Ajaccio brings two struggling Ligue 1 outfits against each other. These teams suffer from shambolic defending and so is their attacking that has failed to yield something good. The performances of these teams have left fans distraught and despair is the order of the day. Ajaccio has scored only 3 goals while Brest has 8 goals from 7 Ligue 1 games. PSG leads the score charts with 28 goals, goal disparities that show how Brest and Ajaccio badly needs attackers. We predict a low scoring outcome of under 2.5 goals.
Sunday 18th September 2022
Lyon vs PSG
PSG to win @3/5
Lyon would have been a tough opposition to PSG in this clash. However, things seemed to have taken a turn for the worse for Les Gones ahead of the international break. The hosts suffered back to back defeats against Lorient and Monaco in the last two games. And having a bad history of only 4 wins against 15 wins for PSG in this matchup, defeating runaway PSG would take more than turning up to play. There has only been one draw in this clash from the last 20 duels. PSG should easily win this game.

Ligue Top Goalscorer Tips
Mbappe cruised to the top goalscorer award in Ligue 1 last season, netting 28 goals, 1 more than the previous season. Monaco's Ben Yedder finished in 2nd place with 25 goals while Martin Terrier of Rennes had 21 goals alongside Moussa Dembele of Lyon. Neymar scored 13 goals while Messi didn't impress much with only 6 goals after a sensational switch to the French Capital.

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 2022/2023 Ligue 1 will begin on the 5th of August 2022 and is due to end in May 2023.
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 2023, 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 in 219/2022 season and it will be interesting to see how they perform after falling out of glory in 2021/22 season. We can't wait to see what happens in the future and if our predictions come true, we will be really pleased with the 2022/23 Ligue 1 campaign.
