Actions continue in one of the most popular leagues in European soccer in recent years, Ligue 1, and contrary to what we all expected, at the beginning of the season, we are witnessing a very nice battle for first place in the table between PSG, Lens, and Marseille.
Another of the most popular teams in France, Lyon wants to return to the limelight in one season and is in fourth place in the table, 3 points behind first place.
LOSC, Nice, and Monaco have not been able to start the season and, if they do not radically change their approach to the game and find the formula that will lead them to victory, it will be very difficult for them to fight even for the places in European international competitions.
Finally, at the bottom of the general classification table, we have Racing, Angers, and Ajaccio, being the only teams that at the beginning of the season still do not know what a victory is.
Now is the time for the teams to try to get as many points as possible to avoid PSG taking flight and escaping in the first place, so they can be worthy contenders and fight to stay at the top of the standings.
Here is a preview of the best matches we can enjoy on this Ligue 1 matchday 6.

The match that will kick off this sixth matchday of Ligue 1 will be the one between Marseille and Auxerre next Saturday, September 03, 2022, at the Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps, home of Auxerre at 11:00 am ET.

On the other hand, we have Auxerre, another team that has also had a good start to the season and even more so in their situation, in which no one was betting on them being far from the relegation zone.

The most interesting and exciting match that we can enjoy on this matchday 6 of Ligue 1 will undoubtedly be the one that PSG and Nantes will play next Saturday, September 03, 2022, at the Stade de la Beaujoire – Louis Fonteneau, home of Nantes.
In the last 20 matches between Nantes and PSG, there is an almost total dominance of the Parisians, who have achieved 17 victories, while Nantes has only managed 3 of them.
PSG continues to demonstrate its spectacular level of play in each passing day of Ligue 1. And it is no secret that it is very likely that they will repeat the French league championship, but the main objective for them this season is to fight for the Champions League and this start of the season is very promising.
With the most lethal offensive trident in soccer right now, Messi, Neymar, and Mbappé, Paris Saint Germain has managed to score 21 goals in only 5 games played and, thanks to that, they have achieved 4 wins and 1 draw, to position themselves at the top of the standings.
PSG comes into this match after crushing Toulouse with a 3-0 scoreline.
–
On their side, Nantes lacks the attacking power that PSG has in abundance. That is what they have shown at the beginning of the season, where they have only 1 win and 1 loss, but 3 matches have ended with draws.
In the statistics, we can see that in 5 matches played, Nantes has scored only 6 goals, while they have conceded 5 and, in a match like this, against a team like PSG, these statistics are not favorable at all.
That is why for this match our selection is a PSG victory with a score of 4-0.
Nantes vs. PSG Betting Pick: PSG
Ligue 1 Matchday 6 – Preview – Nice vs. Monaco – Info
When: Sunday, September 04 at 02:45 pm ET
Moneyline odds: Nice +177 / Monaco +149 (Source: MyBookie.ag)

Another interesting match that we will have in this sixth round of Ligue 1 will be between Nice and Monaco, two teams that have not had a dream start to the season, but are called to be protagonists in this championship. This match will be played this Sunday, September 04, 2022, at the Allianz Riviera, home of Nice.
This match has a very important ingredient, both teams have had a very complicated start to their campaign. They have not been able to score many points and need a string of victories, as soon as possible, to start climbing positions in the overall standings.
Nice comes into this match after taking a breath of fresh air on matchday 5, where they managed to get their first win of the season against LOSC, with a score of 2-1. The most important thing about this victory is that they did it as visitors.
Nice has to work a lot on its offense, as it is one of the teams with the fewest goals scored at the beginning of the season with a total of 4.
–
For its part, Monaco has not been able to have a good start to the season either, despite getting a win in the first match played and a draw visiting the super team PSG.
Monaco comes into matchday 6 after suffering a terrible defeat in their last game against Troyes, with a crushing score of 2-4. In this match, Troyes harassed Monaco’s defense during the 90 minutes.
For this game, we expect a very tight and complicated duel, which is why our selection is a draw in the final result, with a score of 0-0.
