Ligue 1 Betting Tips

Liverpool have looked a bit frantic and unpolished in their first two games under Andoni Iraola.

But that wasn't unexpected, and they're still putting the ball in the net despite not firing on all cylinders, drawing 2-2 at Newcastle and at home to Nottingham Forest.

Ipswich got hammered at Man Utd on Sunday, scoring first and last in a game they were otherwise dominated in and lost 5-2.

Man Utd managed 4.77 xG and won the shot count 33-9 at Old Trafford, it was a humbling for newly-promoted Ipswich and they'll do well to keep a lid on Liverpool.

Liverpool have generated 4.73 xG in their opening two and will be targeting a first win of the campaign in Suffolk.

After a stuttering start to the Ligue 1 season, PSG have had a week on the training ground in preparation for their first league home game.

Luis Enrique will have been looking to eradicate the issues that’ve seen them draw their opening two league games 2-2 (away to Rennes and Lille) after losing the Super Cup 1-0 to Lens.

Early pace-setters Monaco visit Paris after two wins from two, but they’ve hardly been the manner of victories that encourage belief they can challenge for the title (1-0 at Le Havre and 2-0 at home to Marseille).

The odds take into account PSG’s unconvincing start; as soon as they click into gear, they’ll be much shorter in their home games, and this could be the only opportunity this season for us to grab a slice of value on them winning in a home Ligue 1 match.

Both of PSG’s matches so far have finished 2-2. They’re no stranger to goals, with an average of 3.03 in league games last season and a hefty 71% of home matches seeing three or more match goals.

Monaco aware statistically the most entertaining team to watch in the league last season with an average of 3.35 goals per game, that rose to 3.41 on the road with 65% of their trips paying out for over 2.5 backers.

This fixture is excellent for goals too. The last three matches have finished 1-3, 2-2 and 2-3. Seven of the last 10 meetings have seen this selection land.

The young striker has had a flying start to the season. He bagged in both legs of their Conference League qualifier and was in red hot form as he scored both goals in a 2-0 win over Marseille last time out.

Brunner has averaged 2.65 shots on target per 90 in the league so far, with four shots on target to his name. He also had three in two matches in Europe, meaning he’s hit the target seven times in four games and at least once in each.

PSG have had a faltering start to their Ligue 1 title defence, drawing two games from two and conceding four goals in the process - Monaco will get chances.

Of course, with fancying Brunner to have a shot on target, I expect him to get plenty of shots away - which he has done to great effect already this season.

This looks to be a breakout campaign for the young German forward and as mentioned before, he's started in red hot form.

Brunner has averaged a huge 5.96 shots per 90 across his first two league matches. He had five against Marseille and four against Le Havre, as well as five and three in the Conference League matches against Gornik Zabzre.

The odds are good here on account of the opponent, but PSG have looked slack in defence and I've been impressed with Monaco's start to the campaign.

Camara has been absolutely brilliant to kick off the '26/27 campaign for Monaco. He's dynamic, he covers ground and he can play. He'll be the next big sale off the books if he carries on - something Monaco actually need rather desperately.

Camara has committed four fouls in his two Ligue 1 matches so far, with three coming against Le Havre and one against Marseille.

He'll be in the engine room against the likes of Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz, who are key to PSG's control of the game. He'll also see some of the wide players when they drift infield, likely Desire Doue - who has drawn six fouls across his opening two appearances in Ligue 1 this season.
