Almost halfway through the 2024-2025 season and while the curtain closed yesterday in Ligue 1 for this year 2024, the bookmakers are giving their verdict on the outcome of the French championship. And their analysis is clear: Paris Saint-Germain is heading straight towards a new coronation.
Lee PSG more favorite than ever, OM ahead of AS Monaco
After its show of strength against Monaco (4-2), the capital club, already leader with ten points in advance (but one game more on all the others with the exception of its Monegasque runner-up), is given ultra-favorite with a paltry average rating for him to retain his title at 1.05. A forecast which reflects as much the current domination of the Parisians as the difficulties of the pursuers to keep up.
Olympique de Marseille, despite its second place in the standings and its 30 points (but one match less, therefore), only collects a title rating of 15.00, testifying to the skepticism of operators as to its ability to maintain the leader under pressure. Which Paris SG dominated all its direct rivals in Ligue 1, during the first phase. AS Monaco, another co-runner-up of PSG, follows with odds of 20.00, while Lille completes the quartet of outsiders. Lyon and Lens, currently in the top 7, are relegated to the rank of very distant outsiders, despite their stated European ambitions.
ASSE, Angers SCO and MHSC for trio most in danger
The rest of the teams, from OGC Nice to AS Saint-Étienne, are given astronomical odds, signs that they are no longer really in the race for the title. For the Greens, located in the lowest areas, it is maintenance that is at stake, facing direct rivals Angers and Montpellier, on which the bookmakers agree, rather than Nantes or Le Havre which have the confidence of some operators, more than others.
