You are always going to be firmly in the driving seat if you ever do fancy placing any type of bets on Ligue 1, and with plenty of betting sites now offering a very wide spread of betting markets on the league it may be beneficial for you to consider placing a few bets and wagers that you wouldn’t normally place.

Top Goal Scorer

One type of bet that could be of interest to you is the top goal scorer wager, for that to be a winning bet you simply need to pick the player that you think is going to score the most goals, either over the entire season or in any one single Ligue 1 match.

To Win the Ligue 1 League

Any of the twenty teams that are in Ligue 1 do have a chance of becoming champions of the league, if they score enough points by winning more matches than any other team throughout the season.

However, many fans of teams in Ligue 1 tend to have a long term bet before the start of the season in regards to just which team they predict will win the Ligue title, the odds on this type of bet do fluctuate obviously as the season progresses, so one team that may be favourite to win the league at the start of the season may not necessarily be the favourite as the season is in full flow. The team that has an excellent track record in Ligue 1the last few seasons is of course Paris Saint-Germain. But surprisingly to many perhaps, it's Saint-Etienne that has won the league the most times.

To Be Relegated

If you do fancy having a good spread of different bets in live play for the duration of the season or for most of the Ligue 1 season then also consider playing a bet on just which team you think is going to be relegated.

Obviously no team in Ligue 1 wants to be relegated to Ligue 2 but there will be teams each year that are and as such placing a bet on which one you think will is going to give you an interest in the outcome of each match throughout the season.
