Ligue 1 predictions, odds and betting tips for 2025/26 as chasers look to dethrone dominant PSG image

It has been a fascinating start to 2025/26 Ligue 1 campaign with last season's treble winners Paris Saint-Germain currently in a title race for a rare change.

Olympique de Marseille  are just two points off Luis Enrique's men, as are Lens, and there is a little bit of hope that there might be some proper drama at the top end of the table this year. 

AllSportsPeople  brings you all the latest odds as part of our betting guide to Ligue 1.

Ligue 1 predictions 2025/26: Title winners

Marseille defeated PSG earlier in the season in what was a landmark win in Roberto De Zerbi's time in charge. 

However, they have since slipped back behind the defending champions despite Enrique's side not looking quite at their best yet. 

There have been some disappointing league results, notably a 1-1 draw with Lorient, while in Europe they were beaten at home by Bayern Munich before finally seeing off Spurs 5-3 in a thrilling game. 

Lens  are doing very well to keep the pace so far, with a gap back to Lille and Strasbourg

Here's the latest Ligue 1 title odds.
