Ligue 1 Predictions

Waiting for European success

French clubs haven’t had much success on the international scene and as a result, the league only has two guaranteed slots for the Champions League. The third team in the competition has to battle through qualification rounds whereas the fourth has a secured spot for the UEFA Europa League. The last time a French club managed to enjoy European glory was in 1993 when Marseille defeated Milan by the score of 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League final.

One big talent factory

Ligue 1 is known for producing great talent. Unfortunately for French football, they tend to not stick around for too long and Ligue 1 has long been recognised as a productive farming ground for youngsters that go on to become some of the most prominent footballers in the world.

The best players are often sold to clubs from the bigger leagues, and today the only exception of that practice appears to be PSG. The Paris based club, backed by Qatar owners, has arguably made the league less interesting to watch as the trophy holder seems to be decided before the first game is even played. However, there is still betting value to be found in betting on Ligue 1.

Home teams in advantage

Betting on the favourites to win in front of the home fans with a few goals margin has shown to be a lucrative opportunity. Ligue 1 football tips have given great results in recent years, despite it being undeservedly looked at the inferior competition to the most prominent European leagues.
