Ligue 1 Betting Tips
We have settled on the best three Ligue 1 picks for in the Round 9 of 2022/23 season. Take a look below.
Saturday, 1st October 2022
Strasbourg vs Rennes
Rennes to score first
Rennes should score the first goal in this clash with Strasbourg. The visitors have scored 14 goals in 8 games. Moreover, Rennes has conceded 8 goals so far or loosely, an average of 1 goal leaked per game. On the flip-side, Strasbourg has scored just 6 goals in 8 games, which is less than a goal average. The hosts have conceded 9 goals. Now, comparing these stats and the also looking at the recent form of the two teams, the visitors (Rennes) are our pick to hit the back of the net first. Rennes has two wins and two draws in the last four Ligue 1 games while Strasbourg has three draws and one loss in as many games.
Saturday 1st October 2022
PSG vs Nice
PSG Over 2.5 goals
PSG hosts Nice after the international break. Bet on PSG to score 3 or more goals against Nice on Saturday 1st October 2022 at Parc des Princes. The Parisians haven’t lost a game yet in the 2022/23 Ligue 1 season after 7 wins and 1 draw. They have the best defensive record so far after leaking only 4 matches in 8 games. Most importantly, PSG has scored 26 goals, which averages 3.25 goals per match. Nice is 13th and facing table toppers PSG comes with the challenge of playing away from home. Nice has not been impressive offensively after scoring only three goals in their last five games, failed to score in three matches during that period and lost thrice. PSG on the other hand scored 9 goals in the last five and kept four clean sheets in their last four Ligue 1 games.
Sunday 2nd October 2022
Lorient vs Lille
BTTS
Lorient and Lille will clash on the second day of October 2022. For odds 1.61 on Bet365, bet on both teams to score on matchday in this clash. Lorient won all their last four Ligue 1 games and will resume the season at home from the international break. They scored 10 goals in the four matches, averaging 2.5 goals. On the other hand, Lille didn’t do very well in the last four because they won twice and lost the other two. However, Lille scored in all the games, a total of 7 goals. The visitors have also dominated this clash previously, so it is safe to bet on them to score on Sunday.

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.
