<p>Having already <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/soccer/tips-predictions-soccer/ligue-1-betting-predictions-odds">previewed the title race and outright winner</a> for the upcoming season, France’s Ligue 1 domestic campaign kicked off last weekend.</p> <p>The current defending champions, PSG, started with a victory, with Vitinha scoring the lone goal in the second half in a 1-0 win over Nantes. Marseille fell to Rennes (1-0) while Monaco started their campaign with a 3-1 victory over Le Harve, with Eric Dier and Maghnes Akliouche among the scorers.</p> <p>All eyes will be on PSG to see if they can continue to dominate the league standings, having won everything French soccer had to offer last year. Or will this be a year in which Marseille or Monaco can mount a challenge?</p> <h2>Ligue 1 2025/26 Matchweek 2 Betting Preview</h2> <p>After an interesting set of results in the opening weekend of Ligue 1 action, bettors can look forward to another set of fixtures that could potentially provide betting opportunities…</p> <ul> <li>PSG vs Angers (Saturday, 04:45 AEST)</li> <li>Marseille vs Paris FC (Sunday, 01:00 AEST)</li> <li>Nice vs Auxerre (Sunday, 03:00 AEST)</li> <li>Lyon vs Metz (Sunday, 05:05 AEST)</li> <li>Lorient vs Rennes (Sunday, 23:00 AEST)</li> <li>Strasbourg vs Nantes (Monday, 01:15 AEST)</li> <li>Toulouse vs Brest (Monday, 01:15 AEST)</li> <li>Le Harve vs Lens (Monday, 01:15 AEST)</li> <li>LOSC Lille vs Monaco (Monday, 04:45 AEST)</li> </ul> <h2>Ligue 1 2025/26 Matchweek 2 Betting Predictions</h2> <p>As part of our commitment to providing the best soccer tips, Sportsbet continues to offer the top <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/france/french-ligue-1">Ligue 1 2025/26 betting odds</a> around. You can explore many diverse markets and find plenty of opportunities to find value.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/france/french-ligue-1/paris-st-g-v-angers-9527993">PSG vs Angers</a> game has the hosts heavy favourites, but there might be value in looking at the ‘Goals’ market. In particular, the ‘Under 2.5 goals’ market. While Luis Enrique’s side possesses firepower, Angers have a strong record of avoiding heavy defeats. They have played seven straight games that have gone under 2.5 goals and haven’t lost by more than one goal in their last seven contests.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/france/french-ligue-1/marseille-v-paris-fc-9528041">Marseille vs Paris FC</a> game can present betting value in terms of goals scored. Backing the ‘No’ outcome in the ‘Both Teams to Score’ market looks a good value bet. Both teams failed to score in their openers, but we’d expect the hosts to score in this one. Paris lost to Angers last week and conceded 17 shots on goal; Marseille had 24 against Rennes despite a 1-0 defeat. A ‘2-0 Marseille win’ looks good value.</p> <p>Our final pick for this week’s Ligue 1 schedule involves <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/france/french-ligue-1/lyon-v-metz-9528046">Lyon vs Metz</a>. Lyon have the attack to break down a newly promoted Metz, but Metz are well-organized defensively. Still, the latter may struggle to score, making the ‘Lyon win to nil’ market attractive. They won 1-0 last time out, and the same again wouldn’t be a surprise.</p>
