Europe’s fifth national soccer contest, France’s Ligue 1 kicked off its 2019-20 year last August 9th, with the country’s best 20 teams signalling that which they’re capable of. Without Neymar, cast out from the band amidst rumours of transport discussions, PSG revealed that the Brazilian star won’t be sorely missed after Cavani, Mbapp?? along with Di Mar??a scored in a convincing 3-0 win over Nimes.
Meanwhile, the Lyon, that seem to be PSG’s main challengers, defeated Monaco within a remarkable away triumph with exactly the same score. Could, however, other top French sides stop these two? Read on to learn more about our stakes.
PSG would be the clear contenders to win their seventh cup. They finished last year a staggering 16 points before Lille. And although they decided not to spend lavishly during this summer’s transfer window, that remains open in France till September 2ndthey brought in gifted players to reinforce their squad such as Spanish duo Pablo Sarabia and Ander Herrera. Rounding off the roster, they signed Senegal global Idrissa Gueye and versatile 23-year-old shield Abdou Diallo in Borussia Dortmund.
This makes trainer Thomas Tuchel’s team seem much more consistent this year, from the deadly attack of Cavani, Mbapp?? along with Di Mar??a into a proficient midfield and solid defense. Regardless of the choice to separate Brazilian star Neymar, that will most likely be heading to either Real Madrid or, most likely, Barcelona, PSG, at only -1000, stay the undisputed favorites to take the name back into Parc des Princes.
Olympique Lyonnais, simply called Lyon, are willing to return to their glory early to mid-2000’s days, when they ruled French soccer and won seven back-to-back cups. The group are constant finishers on top of the table, also procured the third place this past year.
Looking at their new players, they appear to have chosen wisely, bringing in the likes of Danish center-back Joachim Andersen out of Sampdoria and past Lille players Thiago Mendes and Youssof Kon??.
In addition, coach Sylvinho’s side has a highly effective attack consisting of Dembel??, Depay along with Traor??. With PSG’s never-ending obsession with winning the Champions League, Lyon can manage an upset. Our bet is the 2019-20 Ligue 1 will be a two-way battle between both of these clubs, with Lyon standing at +1400 chances to lift their French .
The very first outsiders that come to mind are Lille, who have three names, their last one in 2010-11. Coach Christophe Galtier’s team finished second , and have invested significantly, after their 80-million-euro purchase of Nicolas P??p?? into Arsenal. To replace the striker, they also signed Turkish left-footed ability Yusuf Nazici, whose skills comprise quality shots and passes.
They also earned Nigerian forwards Victor Osimhen, that scored both goals in Lille’s 2-1 defeat of Nantes in their opening match of the tournament on August 10, in addition to Timothy Weah and Benjamin Andr??. Lille are priced at +3300 to move all the way this time around.
France’s classy league certainly is in no lack of talent. Therefore, other traditional squads should not be ruled out. These include teams like Marseille and Monaco, among others.
The first one might be the fourth favorite side to claim the cup in +4000. The 2nd most successful domestic team with 9 cups, Marseille’s season, however, didn’t start off well. Coach Andr?? Villas-Boas was brought in to strengthen their defensive capabilities, but they suffered a shocking 2-0 home loss to Reims in their first match of the contest around August 10.
With a limited budget as a result of financial fair play regulations, Marseille’s most important signing this season is striker Dar??o Benedetto, who having lots of speed and precision, is their principal expectation to score goals and bring them back to the top of soccer soccer.
Finishing our most important bets are Monaco and Saint-??tienne, equally priced all of the way out in +5000 to pull what would surely be a shocking conquer of the Ligue 1.
