A Ligue 1 With a Clear Dominator

The 2025-26 Ligue 1 season is about to kick off and, as in recent years, Paris Saint-Germain start as the overwhelming favorite to take the crown. However, the bookmakers’ figures are more than conclusive: only a true miracle would stop the Parisian side from claiming their Xth consecutive title. The numbers don’t lie and show an almost absolute dominance that forces their rivals to dream of a once-in-a-lifetime upset.

PSG, an Overwhelming Favorite

With a staggering 76% chance of lifting the trophy, PSG begin the campaign with a huge advantage over their chasers. The team, which continues to strengthen its squad with star players and competes in a league practically tailor-made for them, knows that any slip-up would be considered a major shock. Staying consistent and avoiding injuries will be the keys for the Parisians to confirm the predictions.

Monaco and Marseille, Distant Alternatives

Far behind are AS Monaco, with just a 7% chance according to the odds. The Principality side would need a flawless campaign and multiple PSG stumbles to dream of the top.

In third place are Olympique de Marseille, who with 6% still hold onto the hope of breaking into the title race. Their biggest challenge will be consistency, especially against mid- and lower-table opponents, where they have dropped crucial points in past seasons.

Lille and Lyon Seeking an Upset

Lille (4%) and Olympique Lyon (3%) complete the top five candidates, though their chances pale in comparison to the Parisian giant. For both, a realistic target could be securing a place in European competitions, while never completely ruling out the possibility of delivering a major shock.

The Final Word Will Be on the Pitch

The odds are clear: PSG are the team to beat, and only a miracle would prevent their coronation. However, Ligue 1 has seen surprises before, and this season Monaco, Marseille, Lille, and Lyon will try to defy logic and write a new chapter in the league’s history.
