Ligue 1 outright winner odds and prediction: Monaco 9/1 to maintain title charge

Perennial French champions Paris Saint-Germain returned to winning ways in Ligue 1 at the weekend and they remain the overwhelming favourites for the title.

The Parisian’s 3-1 victory over Rennes coupled with Marseille’s stumble at Strasbourg has strengthened the bookies’ belief that the league leaders are going to take some stopping in their pursuit of a fourth straight French crown. Let's take a look at the latest outright winner odds.

Best Ligue 1 outright winner odds

PSG – 2/9

After being held to a 1-1 draw by Reims on matchday five, PSG rebounded with a 3-1 win over Rennes at the weekend. It was a real statement victory from Luis Enrique’s side who now look to be firmly back on track at the top of the table The bookies would appear to be of that view as well, with the French heavyweights now just 2/9 favourites in the Ligue 1 outright winner odds.

PSG now turn their attention to Champions League matters with a mouthwatering clash against Arsenal at the Emirates on Tuesday night.

Monaco – 9/1

Monaco moved into second place in Ligue 1 over the weekend following a last-gasp 2-1 win over Montpellier. The Red and Whites have won five of their six league matches this season and have tasted defeat just twice across their last 22 French top-flight outings. Adi Hutter’s side also showed that they are the real deal by claiming the scalp of Barcelona on matchday one in this season’s Champions League.

The Principality club now 9/1 second-favourites behind PSG in the Ligue 1 outright winner odds and 7/4 in the without PSG betting.

Marseille – 12/1

Marseille tasted defeat for the first time this season in a 1-0 loss at Strasbourg on Sunday night. Consequently, Roberto de Zerbi’s side have drifted out to 12/1 shots for a first French title since 2010.

However, the Phocaeans face two of the three teams currently housed in the bottom-three over the next two rounds of action, and collecting maximum points would keep them on the coattails of PSG ahead of Le Classique at the end of October. Thus, now could be the time for bettors to snap up the 12/1 on offer.

Lens – 40/1

Having started the season with back-to-back wins, Lens were being touted as potential dark horses in this season's Ligue 1 title race under the guidance of the highly-rated Will Still. However, a run of four straight draws has seen the Blood and Gold drift out to 40/1 shots in the Ligue 1 outright winner odds betting.

After participating in last season’s Champions League for the first time in over two decades, Lens’ priority this term will be to try and pilot their way back to Europe’s premier club competition. They are currently priced up at 13/8 for a top-four finish but they make little appeal at those odds given their knack for sharing the spoils thus far.

Who will win Ligue 1? Here’s our prediction

Paris Saint-Germain are expected to power their way to another Ligue 1 title but they are simply unbackable at the odds on offer.

While Marseille slumped to defeat for the first time this season on Sunday, they still represent excellent value for a top-three finish at even-money. Roberto de Zerbi’s side remain a work in progress but the early signs have been promising. They should go from strength to strength as the season goes on and having no continental commitments to contend with makes them the prime candidate to place third or higher at evens.
