PSG look set to once again dominate Ligue 1 in France, if their recent Trophee des Champions victory over Lyon is anything to go by. Goals from Javier Pastore, Lucas Moura, Hatem Ben Arfa and Layvin Kurzawa helped the reigning champions on their way to a 4-1 win, in what was Unai Emery’s first competitive victory as manager having taken over from Laurent Blanc during the summer. The Paris based side have once again invested heavily on their playing squad, and they kick things off against Bastia this Friday looking to pick up where they left off from last season.

PSG only lost twice in Ligue 1 last time around, scoring 102 goals to win the title by a record margin of 31 points over second place Lyon. The arrivals of Ben Arfa, Grzegorz Krychowiakand Thomas Meunier will all help to bring fresh impetus into the team, with PSG once again the overwhelming favourites this season, as seen at https://bookies.com. So can anyone realistically challenge the French giants and stop them winning a record fifth consecutive Ligue 1 title? With bookmakers failing to hold much confidence, backing the likes of Lyon, Monaco or Marseille with a free bet found at Bookies.com could well be your best option.

Lyon manager Bruno Genesio’s first priority is to resolve the future of star striker Alexandre Lacazette, with Arsenal reportedly one of a number of teams looking to prize the Frenchman away from the Parc Olympique Lyonnais. Despite the huge points difference between themselves and PSG from last season, Lyon will be quietly confident of running them closer this time around, with the arrivals of Nicolas Nkoulou, Emmanuel Mammana and Maciej Rybus helping to add stability to a defence that struggled at times last year. Although Bookies.com show Lyon as outsiders for the title, Genesio’s men may well be the team to watch.

Elsewhere, both Monaco and Marseille have added significantly to their squads, as they look to improve upon respective finished of third and thirteenth from last season. Despite having been ruled out by injury, the return of Radamel Falcao to Monaco is sure to give them a massive boost, while Marseille welcome back Florian Thauvin from an unsuccessful spell in England with Newcastle united, as they look to once again return to the top of the French game.
