France Ligue 1 Predictions and Betting Tips

Ligue 1 is one of the major European club competitions in football, a league that has launched hundreds of stars. Despite Paris Saint-Germain and their deep pockets being the perennial favourites for the title, Ligue 1 has sprung plenty of surprises in recent years and some wonderful Cinderella stories.

Ligue 1 Fixtures – Week 15

This weekend, Ligue 1 is set to deliver an exciting round of matches as teams battle for crucial points in the league. The action kicks off on Friday, with Toulouse hosting Saint-Étienne at Stadium de Toulouse. Toulouse will be looking to build on their recent form and secure a vital win against a struggling Saint-Étienne side that is desperate to escape the relegation zone. With both teams eager for points, this match promises to be a closely contested affair.

Saturday’s fixtures feature several key encounters, including a derby match between Marseille and Lille. Marseille, aiming to solidify their position in the top four, will face a Lille team that has shown resilience this season and currently holds the 4th place in the league. The odds favour Marseille slightly, but Lille’s strong away performances could make this match unpredictable. 

Later in the day, Auxerre will take on RC Lens at 6 PM GMT, where Auxerre will look to capitalize on home advantage against a Lens side that has been inconsistent lately. 

The round wraps up on Sunday, with Paris Saint-Germain facing Lyon at 7:45 PM GMT in what promises to be the highlight of the weekend. PSG, currently leading the table, will be keen to maintain their dominance against a Lyon team that has struggled at the start but now holds a nine-game unbeaten streak.

Ligue 1 Tips by bettingexpert

French league will definitely drop in popularity because Mbappe left PSG but still, they are among the top 5 leagues in the world. That’s why there are many tipsters watching and analysing their games. We have experts in this field who are on a weekly basis sharing their tips with you for free.

You can also be one of the tipsters and share your skills by competing with them for some amazing prizes. The only goal is to make correct predictions. When posting your tip on the event, you can find some valuable information like the lineups, injuries, news, etc.

Ligue 1 Stats

To make your predictions and betting tips better, you should find statistics about the leagues and teams you would bet on. This will increase your chance of winning because some tipsters find patterns regarding goals, BTTS, 1×2, etc. Even if PSG is dominating the league, they almost lost the title to Lens which was behind by just 1 point.

France Ligue 1 Goal Stats

For French teams, you can’t expect a lot of goals on average which is the reason why 56% is over 2.5 goals. But, also take into consideration Ligue 1 predictions that for Angers and PSG it’s 68% and Monaco, Montpellier, Rennes and Troyes are at 63% for over 2.5 goals. Always look at these teams and the odds that will probably be lower because of these stats.

Ligue 1 0.5+ 1.5+ 2.5+ 3.5+ 4.5+ 5.5+ BTTS Team Didn’t Concede Team Didn’t Score
Total Goals 90′ 93.2% 78.2% 56.3% 29.2% 13.7% 6.1% 58.2% 24.3% 24.3%
Half-time Goals 73.9% 36.8% 14.7% 3.9% 0.8% 0.5% 20.3% 52.9% 52.9.%

First Half and Second Half Stats

Another thing you should take into notice for each prediction is the number of goals or advantages of home turf in the first half. French football isn’t popular because of the number of goals they score unless it’s PSG, instead, they are quite familiar for their draws in the first half. As a part of your tips, check the home advantage of certain teams and if they have the potential to score early.

One of the most interesting things is that in the second half, Paris SG isn’t performing well like Lens, Rennes, and Marseille. This is why stats matter for your betting tips, the goal difference for Lens was +19 but they had more draw games instead of losses like Paris SG.

The home advantage table is the same as the general performance in the second half where Lens and Rennes are going strong.

Ligue 1 Betting Tips and Match Previews

Compared to other top leagues, Ligue 1 predictions and betting tips usually involve fewer goals and more draws during the season. You should take this into notice before even doing the analysis and reading our match previews. We have football tips for other European leagues as well but more importantly, you can find previews for this week’s matches on our league page.

If you need more in-depth football tips with analytics from an expert point of view, our expert insights football tips are the right place. People who are doing the research are very experienced in the Ligue 1 as well as other top leagues like Bundesliga, Premier League, etc. Another great tip is to find the user with the best predictions and see what they are looking into when analysing the match.

Ligue 1 Past Winners

As far as trophies go, Paris Saint-Germain has been the dominant force in French football for the last 10 years among all teams. Something that we greatly considered within our Ligue 1 betting tips. Only two teams managed to take the title away from the Parisians in recent history: Lille and Monaco.

Season  Champion
2023-24 Paris Saint-Germain
2022-23 Paris Saint-Germain
2021-22 Paris Saint-Germain
2020-21 Lille
2019-20 Paris Saint-Germain

However, when we take a look at the overall ranking, things are much different. There are three sides with the most French title trophies – Olympique Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain, and Saint-Etienne. However, besides Paris Saint-Germain, none of the other two won anything of significance in recent history. Marseille was the only one to win a title in the modern era, which was all the way back in 2009-10. A great advantage of Ligue 1 predictions this season is that the odds will be higher on other teams compared to PSG.

Rank Club Winners
1. Paris Saint-Germain 12
2. Olympique Marseille, Saint-Etienne 10
3. Monaco, Nantes 8
3. Olympique Lyon 7
5. Bordeaux, Lille, Reims, Roubaix 6

Ligue 1 Player of the Year and Top Goalscorer

If any Ligue 1 predictions and betting tips were very clear in the past 4 years, it was that Mbappe will be the player of the year, but that might change this year.

Season Player of the Year Club
2023-24 Kylian Mbappe PSG
2022-23 Kylian Mbappe PSG
2021-22 Kylian Mbappe  PSG
2020-21 Kylian Mbappe  PSG
2018-19 Kylian Mbappe  PSG

Considering that Ligue 1 predictions and betting tips don’t always involve a lot of goals, some people think that should relate to the number of goals scored by a single player, but when you have Mbappe in the league, it’s clearly not the case. There were rumours that he won’t stay in France for so long, but those predictions are not correct for now.

Season Top Goalscorer Club Goals
2023-24 Kylian Mbappe PSG 27
2022-23 Kylian Mbappe PSG 29
2021-22 Kylian Mbappe  PSG 28
2020-21 Kylian Mbappe  PSG 27
2019-20 Kylian Mbappe
