France Ligue 1 2023/24 outright predictions
Marseille to win Ligue 1 (without PSG) at 9/4
The Parisians have splashed the cash on the likes of Manuel Ugarte from Sporting and Lucas Hernandez from Milan with Benfica’s Goncalo Ramos expected to finalise a move this week.
Quotes of long odds-on make little appeal and the market without the defending champions is more competitive.
Marseille have been installed as favourites to win the league without PSG and that seems more than fair.
Last season’s runners-up Lens have lost key men Lois Openda and Seko Fofana while Lille and Monaco have significant ground to make up after finishing fifth and sixth respectively last season.
Rennes could lose Jeremy Doku on top of Lesley Ugochukwu and with question marks about their rivals, it’s not hard to make the case for Marseille.
OM lost four of their last five games last season, exaggerating the 11-point gap between them and Lens in second.
Experienced Spanish manager Marcelino has come in, along with a plethora of exciting signings including Iliman Ndiaye, Ismaila Sarr and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang making the switch from English football.
Ruslan Malinovskyi could be an inspired purchase in a creative role and his new side look the likeliest challengers to PSG’s dominance.
Strasbourg to finish in the top 6 at 7/1
In the race for a top-six spot, there could be a surprise package in the shape of Strasbourg.
The consortium that owns Chelsea took the club over this summer and have already spent heavily, bringing in exciting youngsters Abakar Sylla and Emanuel Emegha.
The Blue and Whites are likely to serve as a development site for Chelsea’s young talents, so expect a few eye-catching loan signings as the transfer window develops, which could help them progress rapidly.
Despite finishing 15th last season, Strasbourg could be on the up and look a big price for a top-six finish.
Alexandre Lacazette to be top goalscorer eachway at 10/1
Alexandre Lacazette came within two goals of claiming the top goalscorer award on his return to Ligue 1 last season but he’s worth another punt in the eachway market this term.
Kylian Mbappe’s future remains in major doubt and, should he depart or be frozen out of the squad, Lacazette could well claim the prize outright.
Even if Mbappe continues his domination, the Lyon forward still holds plenty of appeal. He scored 27 goals in 35 appearances last term and won this award for Lyon back in 2014/15.
He scored 27 goals that campaign, too, and has an impressive record of 104 Ligue 1 goals in his last four seasons in France. Should Mbappe leave, 10/1 odds could begin to look incredibly good value for the Frenchman.
