Can anyone stop Paris Saint-Germain in the 2026-27 Ligue 1 season? On the face of it, probably not.
Luis Enrique’s all-conquering side looks close to unstoppable these days, with world-class players in every position.
From Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes to Vitinha, Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz, as well as Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, halting PSG appears close to impossible on the face of it.

For the 2026-27 campaign, Nantes and Metz have been replaced in the 18-team cast by ES Troyes AC and Le Mans, who each achieved promotion from Ligue 2 in 2025-26.

What are the best outright betting tips for the 2026/27 Ligue 1 season?
To finish in the top three – AS Monaco @ 2.60
Marseille are priced at 2.00 in this market, but the loss of Mason Greenwood could have a significant impact on Les Olympiens in 2026-27. So even though Monaco finished as low as seventh last season, it may be worth looking at them instead. Filipe Luis is the team’s new head coach, having previously guided Flamengo to a Copa Libertadores and Brazilian title double in 2025. The former Atletico Madrid left-back will look to work wonders with the now-permanently signed Ansu Fati (11 goals in 25 Ligue 1 appearances in 2025-26) and top striker Folarin Balogun, who really caught the eye for USA at World Cup 2026. Luis’ Monaco are, as of yet, an unknown entity, but there is serious potential there – potential that we are backing.
To finish in the top three – Lille @ 3.00
Lille have been pretty consistent in Ligue 1 across recent seasons. After finishing fourth and fifth in 2023-24 and 2024-25 respectively, Les Douges secured the French top flight’s bronze medal last term. Like Monaco, Lille are now under new management in the form of Davide Ancelotti, the son of legendary coach Carlo. And then there is the likelihood of star teenage midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi moving on this summer, which would be a big blow. But Lille’s recent strong finishes and Davide’s significant coaching experience – having been assistant at AC Milan, Napoli, Everton and Real Madrid – could see them take a spot on the Ligue 1 podium once again.
