After a summer in France dominated by an encapsulating Paris Olympics, it is time for Ligue 1 to take centre stage.
With 10 titles in the last 12 years, Paris Saint-Germain once again head into the 2024-25 as favourities to finish up on top again even without former talisman Kylian Mbappe.
The likes of Marseille and Monaco will be desperate for that to change but may have to settle for fighting out for the remaining two Champions League spots.
Lille, Lyon and Lens will also fancy themselves as in the hunt for Europe’s top table, while the likes of Angers, Auxerre and Le Havre look set for a battle against the drop.
Read on as we give you a rundown of the runners and riders for the crucial spots in France’s top division.
All odds were correct at the time of writing on 12 August and were available on bet365.
Ligue 1 winners
Paris Saint-Germain (3/10)
PSG have been France’s dominant team ever since their Qatari takeover in 2011 and are working at a completely different level in terms of resources compared to their Ligue 1 rivals.
Last season, they won the league with a nine-point cushion ahead of second and lost only twice. This summer they have added promising midfielder Joao Neves to their ranks, as well as defender Willian Pacho and goalkeeper Matvey Savonov.
The Parisians of course need to work out what they will look like without Real Madrid-bound Mbappe but Luis Enrique still has more than enough quality to secure another title.
