Bonjour! Comment vas-tu? Online Vegas betting sites such as Bovada are once again an excellent soccer source for Vegas online betting sites for the early portion of the top French soccer league. Here at VegasBetting, we look at a couple of betting options for futures and more. The trends are becoming somewhat clear, even a few matches into the season. Below we have French Ligue 1 Future Bets and, of course, our table.
The first problem with the premier French soccer league is that it has been dominated by PSG for quite an expanse of time. For French Ligue 1 Future Bets, this presents a real dilemma. That makes wagering difficult. Look at the math, and it is almost cringe-worthy. Even most books are skittish here, to be honest. Now, one question is, how is that so? Again, we are just into weekend four of a long season.
For those wondering, Lens has gotten off to an excellent start at 3-0-1 (ten points, +5 goal differential). Marseilles also has not lost as of press time but does have a draw on the season. A team like PSG can easily score 4-5 goals a game. It is early, but PSG finished 15 points clear of the competition last year. They only scored 90 goals in 38 contests for an average of less than 2.4 per game.
So, there is a problem in the sense that PSG has loftier aspirations. This is the team of the decade in the French Ligue 1. However, issues often mushroom regarding the team when it comes to international play. Several well-documented failures in the UEFA Champions League have the team usually happy to take refuge in the top-tier French soccer scene where they are the big fish.
Yes, French League 1 Future Bets examines this and asks. Can any team slow down PSG, so they do not run away with the league again?
PSG Is So Relentless
PSG, as we said, just seems to take its frustrations out on the top French league. Bluntly, this is the late 1990’s-early 2000’s New York Yankees of the Ligue 1. They are a talented squad that generates chances at will, possesses great goal scorers, and timely defence/goaltending. Do not expect to keep averaging 4-5 goals a game. However, few doubt that this season they could break the 100-goal barrier. PSG is so relentless.
How relentless, one may ask? The last time PSG scored triple digits was the 2018-19 season, when they tallied 105 goals and allowed just 35. Crazy enough, they are on a pace to score well over 150 goals. Again, that will not happen, but the firepower is obvious. The interesting part is even again AS Monaco, looked to be a threat to score a bunch of goals. Not all the chances went in, but their offence clicks at a pace.
Expect a coach to say the right things about an opposition to not anger them. That is just the facts of life err “Coaching 101”. PSG has started on something special. Again, the question is whether they can sustain this rate against the better tier of opposition. The feeling may be no, but could they average close to three goals a game? That answer may just be yes.
Teams like Monaco, Lyon, and Marseille are going to play against PSG with more urgency. It had to sting when these three teams saw their odds lengthen quite after just four weeks. PSG is the French Ligue 1 Future Bets pick, as they should manage to win their 11th top-tier title.
2022-23 French League 1 Future Bets makes one think a little. So,Lyon has some title hopes, but those have lengthened a bit only because other teams have played more often lately. That said, Lyon has scored six goals while yielding just two. If there is any team that may have a shot against PSG, it may just be Lyon. However, this is a team with multiple concerns when it comes to players, signings, and transfer window issues.
Now, there is still a good deal of truth here. Lyon can play a more defensive style which can bottle up teams like PSG. Can they do it consistently enough and then play that way over a long season like this? That is the problem. Their number may honestly lengthen further significantly if Lucas Paqueta bolts for West Ham of the English Premier League. When players demand greener pastures, that becomes a heightened worry.
For the 2022-23 French League 1 Future Bets, the +1600 number is a bit of an uneasy bet. They have enough offence and timely defence to hold off most lower-tiered clubs. The question becomes can they hold off teams like Marseilles and Monaco? They could be worth a look, especially if things move into a bit better of an odds position.
What about the top goal scorer in the French League 1 Future Bets? There are some extra wagers to consider.
Once more, the tendency is to look at Mbappe at -163. He gets a ton of chances from the midfield play of PSG alone. As good as Neymar and Mesi are, can their clubs get them the ball enough in positions to score?
The contention for French Ligue 1 bets is to take Mbappe here. The offence is just so prolific compared to the rest of the league.
