While PSG have dominated domestically in France’s top flight over the past few years, they have yet to replicate their success on the European stage and this year must face that challenge without Kylian Mbappe, who left for Real Madrid.
It’s not all about the free-spending Qatari-owned team though, with Ligue 1 recognised as being one of the best leagues for developing young talent. The likes of Monaco, Lille and Lyon are all building exciting squads in different ways, while Brest surprised many by finishing third last term to claim a Champions League spot. Auxerre are among the promoted teams, while Marseille will be looking for improvement after a difficult campaign last time out.
The hosts lost 3-0 away at Rennes in their campaign opener and their poor form continued in their first home game of the season against Monaco last week as they fell to a 2-0 loss. They are one of just three teams yet to open their goalscoring account in Ligue 1 this season.
The visitors were held to a 1-1 draw by Montpellier in their campaign opener. They improved upon that performance in their first home game of the season last week, registering a 3-1 triumph over Rennes.
Andrey Santos scored in the first half and Emanuel Emegha doubled their lead in the 48th minute. An own goal from Christopher Wooh helped them restore their two-goal lead after Ludovic Blas equalized for Rennes.
Les Gones have been in poor touch in the league, suffering losses in their first two games of the season, and have failed to score in these meetings as well. They have scored at least once in each of their home meetings against the visitors in the 21st century and will look to open their goalscoring account for the season here.
There are no fresh absentees for head coach Pierre Sage as Nicolas Tagliafico remains sidelined with an injury while Orel Mangala is close to securing a loan move to Everton and is not an option for this match.
Les Bleu et Blanc have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their league campaign conceding one goal in both games. They have won just one of their away meetings in Ligue 1 against the hosts since 1979, which is a cause for concern.
It’s time for the third gameweek in Ligue 1 2024-25. Olympique Lyonnais will be hosting RC Strasbourg with an aim of securing the first points in this edition of the league. Lyon faced Rennes and AS Monaco in the first two games, failing to score in either and losing both. Thus, it has not been a satisfactory start for them.
RC Strasbourg, however, have had a good start to their campaign. They shocked Rennes in the last game while sharing spoils with Montpellier in the campaign opener. This game will be a different test for Liam Rosenior’s men, as Lyon at home are marked as the favourites.
The hosts will be desperate for a win in this fixture, having lost their first two and losing six vital points in the early stages. Visitors Strasbourg will look to shock the hosts by capitalizing on Les Gones’s poor form in the league.
The 21-year-old centre-back played a key role in the back line in the past two Ligue 1 games. He started in both and made apt tackles, good blocks and interceptions to assure RC Strasbourg four points in two matches.
He was used as a defensive midfielder in both games. A similar role is expected in this one too. He needs to maintain his form and also cater for the forwards with sudden assists as he did in the campaign opener.
After last season's abysmal start that saw Lyon take just three points from their first nine games, the worst opening to a campaign in their history, the Kids would have been hoping for a much better start to the 2024-25 term.
Lyon actually had reason to be optimistic heading into the new campaign after they enjoyed a remarkable recovery in the second half of the season under Pierre Sage, who took over at the end of November and led the team from the foot of the table to an impressive sixth-placed finish.
Sage lost just six of the 22 Ligue 1 fixtures he oversaw in 2023-24 and rounded out the season by taking 37 points from a possible 45, leaving them in incredible form to end the campaign.
Combined with spending over £100 million on transfers in the summer window, Lyon would have fancied their chances of having a strong start to the season, but they once again find themselves without a point after two matches.
They kickstarted the campaign with a dismal 3-0 defeat to Rennes, followed by a 2-0 loss to AS Monaco at home, leaving them in 17th and one of just four teams yet to record a point.
Sage will be aiming to avoid a repeat of that disastrous start to last season, aiming to record their first win as soon as possible, but Strasbourg will serve another stern test for Lyon.
Strasbourg are yet to lose in Ligue 1, drawing 1-1 with Montpellier in their opening fixture and beating Rennes 3-1 at home in their most recent outing.
New boss Liam Rosenior, who replaced Patrick Vieira in the summer, will be thrilled with his team's strong start to the season, particularly after Strasbourg's poor finish to the previous campaign and their disappointing pre-season. The Blue-and-Whites won just one of their final five Ligue 1 fixtures in 2023-24, losing the remaining four, and failed to record a single victory in their seven pre-season outings. Rosenior will be tasked with continuing that positive momentum this year, aiming to climb back up the standings after two underwhelming years of fighting against relegation for Strasbourg.
