How to Bet on Ligue 1 Matches

While Ligue 1 has established itself as one of Europe’s “Big Five,” it has been unfairly labeled as a “farmers’ league” by some. It’s an unfair accusation, because three of the world’s best players play in the division, and many more have accomplished great things before moving on.

Ligue 1 has 20 teams competing for the title of champion. A season consists of 38 matches played between mid-August and the following May, allowing each club to play each other club twice: once at home and once away. However, the current system will be phased out after this season, with the league being reduced to 18 teams the following season.

The French Ligue 1, also known as Le Championnat, was founded in September 1932 under the name National before being renamed Division 1 shortly after the first season. The Division 1 was renamed Division 1 in 2002. Ligue 1 began with 20 teams in 1932 and continues to this day, including Marseille, Rennes, Montpellier, Nice, Metz, and Nimes, all of which were founding clubs and are still active in the current Ligue 1 season.

Since its inception until this season, a total of 73 clubs have competed in Ligue 1. Paris Saint-Germain is the only club that has never been relegated by points. They were administratively relegated in 1972, but returned to Ligue 1 in 1974, where they have remained ever since. PSG dominated the division in the 2010s, thanks to heavy investment from the Qatari state. Their superstar-laden squads have frequently been far superior to their rivals, with PSG winning seven of the last nine Ligue 1 titles.

PSG’s current dominance is reminiscent of Lyon’s dynastic period at the turn of the millennium. They won seven titles in a row between 2002 and 2008, but have yet to win a domestic title since.

We thought it might be useful for all fans of online Ligue 1 wagers to spend a few minutes discussing the strategic factors to consider when betting on Ligue 1. To begin with, the French league is very physical, but it lacks tactical depth. On the other hand, there is no shortage of goal scorers, so it is not uncommon to see results with a high number of goals.

Finally, choose Ligue 1 if you enjoy betting on the number of goals or the over/under, and you can use our information to help you!

It’s also worth noting that PSG is heavily favored in almost every game, including big ones against Marseille and Lyon. Study the calendar and understand the rounds immediately following Champions League matches, as these are when they are most likely to field a tired and broken squad.
