Ligue 1 outright winner odds and prediction: 2/1 Nice not down and out

Champions-elect Paris Saint-Germain took another step towards winning yet another Ligue 1 title following the latest round of action. 

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 – 1/1000

It would be fair to say that it now looks like only a matter of time before PSG are confirmed as champions. The Parisians made it 20 wins from 25 matches in the French top- flight this season by romping to a 4-1 success away at Rennes on Saturday.

That latest victory means Luis Enrique’s team have yet to taste defeat in the French top-flight this term. Thus, it’s easy to see why the Ligue 1 title race is a foregone conclusion as far as the bookmakers are concerned, especially given the form of free-scoring Ousmane Dembele. 

The capital club will now turn their attention towards their Champions League last-16 tie second leg with Liverpool this midweek.

Marseille – 500/1

Marseille are now as big as 500/1 in their pursuit of a first Ligue 1 title for 15 years. Roberto de Zerbi’s side are just about holding on to second place after losing 1-0 at home to Lens on Saturday.

The second-placed Phocaeans remain three points ahead of Nice but they are just five in front of both Monaco and Lille . With a trip to PSG to come this weekend, Marseille could be staring down the barrel at a third defeat in their last four  league matches.

Nice – 4500/1

Nice saw their six-game unbeaten run come to an end in Ligue 1 at the weekend when losing 2-0 at home to Lyon on Sunday night. Franck Haise’s side had flown under the radar to move up to third place in the table before suffering what was just their first Ligue 1 defeat at home this season.

However, Nice are just three points behind a Marseille side that they could move level on points with next weekend if results go their way.

Monaco –4500/1

Monaco are now a massive 4500/1 for the title after losing two of their last five league games. The Red and Whites remain fourth in the table after conceding a last-gasp equaliser at Toulouse on Friday night.

However, Adi Hutter’s side are still very much in contention for a top three finish, as only five points separates them from second placed Marseille. A home game with rivals Nice later this month could prove pivotal to their hopes for a top three berth.

Who will win Ligue 1? Here’s our prediction

It’s looking increasingly likely that Paris Saint-Germain will win another Ligue 1 title but they are simply unbackable at the odds on offer. 

Instead, look to Nice to finish inside the top three at a tempting 2/1. Franck Haise’s team have lost just three of their last 21 league games, triumphing in 11 of those contests. Still only three points behind a Marseille side that continues to blow hot and cold, Nice represent a slice of value to place inside the top three.
