Ligue 1, Saturday, 01/25/2025 at 9:05 PM
Could we do without this season 2024/25? In the French Ligue 1, Paris St. Germain currently has no problems keeping the competition at bay. Of course, the bookmakers have no choice but to quote the clear favorite odds every time.
This is also the case on Saturday, when a club from the north-east of France is the guest team. Since Paris is clearly in the lead, I now have to provide you with enough facts to prove that betting on BTS would make sense here.
You can only beat yourself! A few months ago, Paris St. Germain started the first season without Kylian Mbappe, which naturally caused concern for some fans. But it seems clear that the team is still strong enough to win the Ligue 1 without the superstar.
The question of who the favorite to win the championship is does not even have to be asked before the start of a season in France. Speaking of choice, before I plunge further into the analysis, something comes to mind regarding the word “choice”.
In Germany, there is a bit of chaos in political terms at the moment, so new elections have been called. The big day is February 23rd! Of course, we betting fans have also taken a close look at this event.
You can read our prediction as many times as you like until you know who you want to vote for. In Paris, at least among football fans, there will probably be less interest in this Sunday, as their own team is more important.
14 wins and four draws, 48 goals scored and 16 conceded, nine points ahead of Marseille in second place, PSG are holding all the aces and looking as strong as ever.
So we have to look hard for problems if we want to find any. The defending champions returned from the winter break with a 2-1 win over St. Etienne, followed that up with a 2-1 win over Lens (winning goal in minute 86).
So twice in a row the victory was very close, and in the last four games they have conceded goals. Five clean sheets? Although PSG have the best defense, this value could be a bit better.
Paris has conceded exactly one goal ten times. It’s a good thing that Interwetten has a lucrative free bet on offer for you. This bookmaker has a very suitable bet.
If Reims scores on Saturday, the odds jump to 2.50. How will the team cope with what happened to PSG in the Champions League last Wednesday? The eagerly awaited match against Manchester City was on the program.
The French champions were already 2-0 down, but then launched an incredible comeback to win 4-2! 90 minutes that took an enormous amount of energy, but which could also give a boost to the league.
Reims are one of the favorite opponents, because only two of the last 19 games have been lost. But: at the same time, four of the last five have only had one point to offer! 0-0, 1-1, 2-2, the draws were quite different.
PSG, of course, want to avoid a third consecutive home draw. Our bookmakers are very optimistic, as they see the home side as clear favorites with odds of 1.20 to 11.0.
Reims are in the lower mid-table, 13th, and five wins from 18 games doesn’t exactly sound like a strong opponent for Paris. The White and Reds have not won in seven games, and have only won one of the last 11 games.
It’s hard to believe that before this crisis, they had picked up points six times in a row and given their fans four wins. At least the streak of suddenly not scoring anymore is over.
The last three matches only yielded one point, but after three goalless games in a row, the four goals were an improvement. In any case, the team has only failed to score away from home on two occasions.
In half of all away games, Reims have already scored before half-time. It may be a somewhat risky bet, but if you want to place it, Betano offers odds of 3.10.
Paris St. Germain is about to play at home – that makes the bet pretty obvious! Only the Parisians are unbeaten in Ligue 1, so it’s up to them to decide how much they are superior to their opponents.
Reims have been struggling for a few months now. On the other hand, I saw that there have only been two away games without a goal – and Paris do concede goals quite regularly, usually just one.
Since the league leaders were in the Champions League during the week, I assume that they may be a little tired. And that’s why I decided on the following bet:
Paris and Reims score!
