European champions Paris Saint-Germain have just geared up for the start of the defence of their Ligue 1 title by edging out Tottenham Hotspur in Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup final.
Unsurprisingly, the French heavyweights remain the bookmakers' overwhelming favourites to retain their crown. Let's take a look at the latest outright winner odds.
Best Ligue 1 outright winner odds
PSG – 1/9
Even with the transfer drama involving Gianluigi Donnarumma and failing to convince against Spurs, it would come as a surprise if anyone is writing PSG off in terms of winning another French top-flight crown.
With minimal changes having been made to the squad, punters may be best served betting on an unbeaten campaign, rather than taking the short betting odds that are on offer here.
Monaco –12/1
After last season's third-placed finish, Monaco have seemingly invested wisely with the additions of Eric Dier and Ansu Fati, as well as Paul Pogba, on the back of the World Cup winner making his return from a ban handed to him courtesy of testing positive for a banned substance.
Monaco would need to put together one of their greatest campaigns of all time to push PSG, yet do not be surprised to see them eventually finish as runners-up.
Best Monaco odds to win Ligue 1 without PSG: 10/11
Marseille – 14/1
Roberto De Zerbi has made some major alterations to his Marseille squad to close the 19-point gap to PSG from 2024-25.
Although the business conducted in the transfer market is unlikely to lead to Marseille becoming champions this season, they will back themselves to finish runners-up if Mason Greenwood can enjoy another free-scoring campaign.
Best Marseille odds to win Ligue 1 without PSG: 6/5
Lille – 20/1
Jonathan David has headlined a list of several notable departures at Lille this summer, and trying to earn Champions League qualification will surely be their priority for the season.
Attracting legendary forward Olivier Giroud is a big coup for the club, yet finishing in the top four may be a struggle for Lille in 2025-26.
Best Lille odds to win Ligue 1 without PSG: 13/8
Who will win Ligue 1? Here’s our prediction
We can only back PSG. The 1/9 feels like a complete banker if you are willing to make a sizeable bet, but there is more value in backing the likes of Monaco and Marseille to finish in the top three at either 10/11 or Evens respectively.
