Who will win Ligue 1 2020/21? Betting Predictions & odds
Will PSG draw level with ASSE after titles?
In Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain is without a doubt the flagship of the league. The star ensemble from the French capital has won the championship seven times in the last eight seasons and has thus shortened the gap to record champions “ASSE”. If the Ligue 1 championship 2020/21 is also won, PSG will draw level with Saint-Etienne after championship titles.
Surprisingly, Paris Saint-Germain made a false start this season and suffered defeats on the first two matchdays. At the latest after the runaway victory over Angers, the star ensemble has reported back.
There is nothing to be shaken about PSG’s role as favourites in this year’s French title race – if the march through the capital city footballers can be called a race. The best bookmakers see PSG as the big Ligue 1 champions 2020/21 favourites and only offer betting odds of 1.10 for a title win.

At the beginning of the season, PSG still had to struggle with some personnel concerns. In addition to injuries-related failures, various service providers had to go into quarantine. Thus, for coach Thomas Tuchel, the options in the squad were somewhat limited in the first two games of the season, so that many players from the second guard appeared.
Because of a false start at PSG
At the start of the season, the lack of harmony in the game of the Parisians was noticeable. After all, the first game of the season against promoted RC Lens was lost 0-1. In the subsequent home game against Olympique Marseille, the French classic, the next defeat followed promptly – even though most of the stars were used at PSG.
Since then, Thomas Tuchel’s team has been back on a winning streak and has now clearly shortened the gap to the top. In its current form, it will only be a matter of time before PSG greets from the top of the table. In the last few seasons, the capital’s football team dominated at will.
No competition in the league
There is currently no team in Ligue 1 that can compete with the star ensemble from Paris. The home defeat against Marseille was just one of the few dropouts that PSG also has in the course of the Ligue 1 season. In 2020/21 the Parisians will for the first time have the chance to draw level with the record champions “ASSE” after titles.
Accordingly, the national competition this season is quite important for the capital city club. If PSG Ligue 1 becomes champions 2020/21, odds of only 1.10 will be paid out for the tip.
The outsiders in the Ligue 1 2020/21 title race
At the moment there are no serious opponents in the title race. That assessment is already made clear by the current Ligue 1 champions odds of the league competitors. There are betting odds of 26.00 for Lille, currently level on points with leaders Rennes. Teams like Marseille and Lyon were even odds worse as potential title candidates.
Lille OSC
The mastiffs from Lille got off to a promising start to the season with four wins and two draws and are currently sharing the championship lead with Stade Rennes. If you take a look at the squad around coach Christophe Galtier, it would not be surprising if Lille settled on the starting places for the premier class.
It remains to be seen whether a title race for the Great Danes will come into question. Often the necessary consistency is missing over the season. It is therefore not surprising that, with regard to Lille as Ligue 1 champions 2020/21, odds above the 20.00 mark are offered for potential bets. The Great Danes celebrated their last championship in the 2010/11 season.
Stade Rennes
The red-blacks from Rennes are currently at the top of the table and are building on the strong 2019/20 season. The team around the successful coach Julien Stephan will be represented in the premier class this season – for the first time in the club’s history. The league competitors already felt that Stade Rennes should not be called a flash in the pan during the season.
The squad was upgraded for the season on the international stage. If Rennes is spared from personnel worries in the course of the season, a placement among the top three teams can be expected again. If even the sensational title coup is successful, the championship tip in Ligue 1 will be rewarded with odds of around 34.00.
Olympique Lyon
Olympique Lyon hardly knew how to convince at national level last season. With a seventh place in the table, “OL” missed the right to start the international competition for the first time since the 1996/97 season. However, serious departures were avoided in the summer. Accordingly, Lyon starts the new season with a promising squad.
If you consider how strong “OL” presented itself in last year’s Champions League, the Gones should still be expected despite the mixed start to the season. A title win will not be possible for the team around coach Rudi Garcia.
Olympique Marseille
Olympique Marseille prevailed against PSG in the French classic at the start of the season, but haven’t really been convincing since. In addition, it remains to be seen how Olympique Marseille will deal with the burden from CL, Coupe de France, Coupe de la Ligue and Ligue 1. For a title win by “l’OM”, prices above the 50.00 mark are currently in store.

Betting base prediction for Ligue 1 champions 2020/21
PSG are the big favourites again this Ligue 1 season and will probably crown themselves Ligue 1 champion for the fourth time in a row. This means that the capital city footballers can draw level with teams like Marseille (10) and Saint-Etienne (10) after titles. After a mixed start to the season, PSG finally got back on track and should, as expected, take the lead in the table in the next few weeks.
It remains to be seen how long league competitors like Lille or Stade Rennes can challenge the star ensemble from Paris. In recent years, PSG’s alleged title rivals have given in over the course of the season, which is why a similar scenario should not be ruled out.
Key facts – Ligue 1 champions 2020/21
PSG won the Ligue 1 championship three times in a row.
PSG can draw level with record champions Saint-Etienne (10) with the next championship after titles.
In the last eight seasons, the reign of the Paris star ensemble was interrupted only once.
For PSG as Ligue 1 champions, only low quotes are available for betting. However, there is almost no alternative to a prediction, if you consider how the star ensemble has presented itself at the national level in recent years. It will probably only be a matter of time before PSG bags the championship mathematically.
