Another Ligue 1 Procession for PSG This Season?
Despite losing to Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup final, Paris Saint-Germain can still lay claim to being the best team in the world. PSG were the kings of Europe last season, beating Inter Milan 5-0 in a one-sided UEFA Champions League final. Previously to this, they knocked out Liverpool and Arsenal, with Luis Enrique’s side producing a brand of football that had never been seen before.
PSG went deep in the summer’s Club World Cup although they are still expected to be streets ahead of the competition in Ligue 1 next term. Les Parisiens finished nineteen points clear of second-placed Marseille last season, racking up eighty-four points from their thirty-four games. They were able to score 92 goals and it would be a huge surprise if they weren’t champions again.
According to the French Ligue 1 outright winner odds with the best betting sites, PSG have a 89% chance of retaining their crown. They have an outstanding front line which includes last season’s top scorer Ousmane Dembele. The forward is trading as the odds-on favourite to win the Ballon d’Or and is flanked by superstars like Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola.
This team appears to be perfect in every position. Gianluigi Donnarumma is clearly among the best goalkeepers in the world and plays in front of a back line that consists of Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho and Nuno Mendes. The full-backs are astonishing when it comes to coming forward and joining the attack.
There have been a few incomings over the summer, with Renato Sanches and Gabriel Moscardo expected to be squad players in the coming season. However, the first XI will largely remain the same and that includes Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves who are all outstanding midfielders for this impressive team.
It's hard to see anyone getting close and it could be worth looking at the Betting Without PSG market if you’re in search of a value price. Monaco are regarded as the main contenders with the leading football bookies, with the team finishing third last season in the overall standings. They only managed to win eighteen matches, although Adi Hutter’s side should be able to rack up more points this time around.
Eric Dier and Paul Pogba have both arrived at the club, with the latter previously regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world. Ansu Fati is on loan from Barcelona, with Chrislain Matsuma expected to feature prominently after coming back from a loan spell in Germany.
Marseille have also been very busy in the transfer market although the likes of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Neal Maupay and Facuno Medina are not the sort of players that would get anywhere near the Paris Saint-Germain first team. They do have a sharp shooter in the form of Mason Greenwood who can certainly deliver goals.
Lille and Nice are the other sides who could be in contention for an UEFA Champions League spot. Both sides racked up sixty points apiece last season, with the team having an identical record in terms of wins, draws and defeats.
