The majority of clubs in France have played eight league games so far, and we are already able to identify some favorable trends to follow. These have previously shown a profit for those following them from the start of the season, but will also continue to show a benefit if you start looking at them now. From teams who are involved in low scoring games, to clubs who you should be backing on both sides to score list, we have all the stats you need to help your French Ligue 1 betting.

Here are the teams to look out for in the French Ligue 1:

Caen
Caen has been very profitable to follow this season for those that have been backing under 2.5 goals in their games. They have played eight, and seven of their games have resulted in less than 2.5 goals. This is usually priced up just under even money, so would have resulted in a profit of around five points so far. They are the perfect team for this bet; they are both struggling to score and have an outstanding defense, so goals are hard to come by at both ends of the field.
I see no reason why Caen will not continue this trend over the coming weeks, they are set up to defend well, and look to be struggling to create enough opportunities.

Rennes
Rennes is the complete opposite of Caen, and so far, this season they have been very profitable to follow in both team to score market. In their eight games so far, they have been involved in six games where both teams have scored a goal. Their defensive record is poor, and they have conceded a goal in every game so far, but they do look dangerous when they are on the attack. Being priced up at around 4/5, that means if you had backed both teams to score in their eight games so far you would be about three points in profit.
With a weak defensive record and a decent looking attacking line-up, I expect to see Rennes continue to be profitable in this market over their next few games.

Monaco
Big teams are often priced accordingly, so they don’t offer much value, but Monaco looks to be an exception so far this season. If you had backed over 3.5 goals in all of their games so far, you would have had five winning bets out of eight. Being priced up at roughly 6/4, this means you would be in profit by over four points. The strength Monaco has in attack is making this happen, but they have also looked a little suspect in defense, which is helping at the moment. Usually, big clubs provide very little value, but Monaco seems to be an exception this season.

Some tipsters expect to see this continue and if Monaco continues to be priced up like this, then they will offer excellent value.

In Conclusion
Those are three teams to keep an eye on in the coming weeks in the French Ligue 1. By using the stats that have been highlighted, you can pick out what has been profitable so far, and what will be beneficial over the next few weeks. The selections to keep an eye on are:

Caen under 2.5 goals
Rennes both teams to score
Monaco over 3.5 goals
