Home to world-renowned megastars such as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, France’s Ligue 1 is one of the most exciting soccer leagues to bet on. In truth, that’s precisely why we created this Ligue 1 betting guide.
If you want to learn how to bet on Ligue 1 – or you want to brush up on your skills – you have certainly come to the right place. Below, we discuss all the best Ligue 1 betting options and explain how the season works.
How to Bet on Ligue 1
What better way to kick-start this guide to betting on Ligue 1 than by going over all the popular markets? It is worth noting that the following options comprise multiple markets, so be sure to explore every opportunity.
Ligue 1 Match Betting
Match betting is undoubtedly the most popular Ligue 1 betting option. Of course, you can wager on the winner of a game, but there are many different markets when it comes to match betting, including goal totals, team totals, both teams to score, correct score and handicaps.
Ligue 1 Futures Betting
If you’re a patient gambler and fancy making some long-term wagers, outright betting is the option for you. Also known as futures, outright give you the chance to predict the eventual winner of the Ligue 1 total or awards such as the Golden Boot.
Live Ligue 1 Betting
Some of the best soccer sportsbooks allow you to place live bets on Ligue 1 matches. For example, a betting site may give you the chance to wager on the next goalscorer, the next player to receive a card or the next team to win a corner.
Ligue 1 Props Betting
Prop bets are wagers that are unrelated to the final score or outcome of a game. Instead, props enable you to bet on occurrences or non-occurrences. For example, you might find a Ligue 1 prop that gives you the chance to predict the total number of passes made by a player in a match.
How the Ligue 1 Season Works
Typically, the Ligue 1 season begins in August and finishes in May. From the start of the 2023-24 campaign, the league will scale down from 20 teams to 18 teams, while a relegation playoff will be introduced.
However, no playoff system is used to determine the champion. At the end of the season, once each team has played 34 games, the team with the most points at the top of the table will be awarded the trophy.
Soccer Transfers Betting Guide
There are also European places up for grabs, with teams ranked between first and sixth qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League.
Paris Saint-Germain won eight titles in 10 years between 2012-13 and 2021-22. Meanwhile, Monaco (2016-17) and Lille (2020-21) were the only clubs to prevent PSG from securing the silverware during that period.
