Can PSG again win the Ligue 1 title? They have been crowned champions in 10 of the last 12 seasons. 2023-24 saw them win the title by a comfortable nine points, losing only two games all season and simply bludgeoning teams into submission as the top-scoring team in the league.
The 2024-25 season sees 18 clubs in Ligue 1. The 18 clubs will all face each other home and away. That means they will all play 34 league matches this season to determine the final standings.
The top three clubs all automatically qualify for the 2024-25 Champions League group stages with the fourth-placed club going into the qualifying rounds. In previous seasons, Fifth and sixth go into the Europa League and seventh to the Europa Conference League respectively. The bottom two clubs are automatically relegated and the side finishing 16th goes into a play-off with a Ligue 2 team.
It's going to be another exciting season with clubs such as Lens, Marseille, Lyon, Rennes, Lille and Monaco all determined to dethrone PSG. Our team of betting experts will be supplying you with free in-depth previews throughout the season, so don't miss them.

Once more in 2024-25, it looks hard to look beyond PSG as the Ligue 1 champions. They have become the dominant force in recent seasons, only failing to win the division twice in the last 12 seasons. That is a remarkable record by any standards and it does mean that it is hard to think that anyone else is capable of winning Ligue 1 in 2024-25. They were beaten just twice last season with Monaco, the team to get the closest to them albeit nine points adrift of the champions.
Our 2024-25 Ligue 1 prediction - PSG continue their domination of the division!
