After an intense week full of matches in the European competitions, the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Conference League, the action is back in one of the most popular soccer leagues in the world, Ligue 1 with an immense PSG that continues to lead the standings, but, equal on 16 points with Marseille, who have also had a spectacular start to the season.
For now, there are no surprises at the top of the overall standings, with Lens, Lyon, and Lorient continuing their quest to fight for the top of the table and are the closest to the top.
The only team with a worrying start in this new Ligue 1 season is Nice, which has won only 1 game out of 6 played and, they are located very close to the relegation zone.
While at the bottom of the table, we have Stade Brest, Racing, Angers, and Ajaccio, the 4 teams that are currently occupying the relegation zone, remembering that this season will be 4 teams that will be relegated to the second division of French soccer.
Next, we will have a preview of the best matches that we are going to enjoy in this Ligue 1 matchday 7.

One of the most interesting matches of this Ligue 1 matchday 7 will undoubtedly be the one between Marseille vs LOSC next Saturday, September 10, 2022, at the Stade Velodrome, home of Marseille.
With a spectacular start to the season, Marseille is PSG’s main contender to fight for the Ligue 1 this season.
5 wins and 1 draw is Marseille’s record at the start of matchday 7, and the most outstanding aspect of the team from the Mediterranean coast play has been their defense, as they have allowed only 3 goals in the 6 matches played.
Marseille is coming from a very difficult weekday in their Champions League group stage match, where they lost against Tottenham with a score of 0-2 in their visit to London.

On the other hand, one of the teams that are always present in all the battles that are fought in Ligue 1 at the top of the standings is LOSC, which has had a somewhat complicated start to the season, but, thanks to the 10 points they have collected so far, they have managed to settle in sixth place in the table, just 6 points behind first place.
In contrast to Marseille, LOSC needs to reinforce its defensive system, as it is the team at the top of the table that has conceded the most goals in these first 6 matchdays, with a total of 13 goals.
LOSC comes into this match after a crushing away win against Montpellier, with a score of 3-1.
For this match, our winner’s chip is for Marseille, and we predict a final score of 3-1.
Marseille vs. LOSC Betting Pick: Marseille

Despite being one of the matches with the least parity in all senses, we are sure that we will have many emotions in this Stade Brest vs. Paris Saint Germain, which will be played next Saturday, September 10 at the Parc des Princes, home of PSG.
PSG is undefeated in Ligue 1 (5 wins and 1 draw). An excellent dynamic of good results allows them to lead the standings with the same points as Marseille, the only team that seems to be able to keep up with the Parisians. On the other hand, in the Champions League, they have just beaten Juventus (2-1) in their debut in the competition.
Thus, PSG will be looking for a new victory to confirm its good sensations and allow it to remain unbeaten in the competition, to continue to dream of their goal this season in Ligue 1, to obtain 100 points.
–
On the other hand, Brest arrives after 3 consecutive matches without a win in Ligue 1 (1 draw and 2 defeats). Bad results even if they come from a point at home against Strasbourg (1-1) in the last matchday.
In this case, they arrive with the need to get a positive result that will give them a chance to escape relegation, although it seems difficult for them to score away against PSG.
In short, we go with a match where PSG is the absolute favorite to win, as the current champion and unbeaten leader of the standings against a team that has failed to win in recent days and is in the relegation zone.
That is why our selection is a PSG victory with a score of 5-0.
Stade Brest vs. PSG Betting Pick: PSG
Ligue 1 Matchday 7 – Preview – Lyon vs. Monaco – Info
When: Sunday, September 11 at 02:45 pm ET

One of the most evenly matched games we will have in this matchday 7 of Ligue 1 will be the one between Lyon and Monaco on Sunday, September 11, 2022, at the Stade Louis II, home of Monaco.
In the last 5 matches played between these two teams, Monaco has won 2 times, while Lyon has won 3 times. The last match was a victory for Monaco, with a score of 2-0 last February.
Lyon started the season with spectacular confidence, winning 4 of the 5 matches they had played until the previous matchday when they were crushed by Lorient with a score of 1-3. Lyon is still very well-placed in the standings, in fourth place in the table, 3 points behind first place.
In this match against Lorient, Lyon had the ball for the whole 90 minutes, but they were unable to repel the chances created by the home team.
–
On the other hand, Monaco has had an irregular start to the season, they have failed to win several consecutive victories and that is why they are in tenth place in the standings, with a record of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats.
Monaco comes from suffering in a difficult match against Nice but managed to win with a score of 0-1. For this matchday, they will have already played their Europa League group stage match against Red Star.
In this game, we believe that it will be very difficult for both teams to hurt each other in the 90 minutes, which is why our prediction is a 1-1 draw on the scoreboard.
Lyon vs. Monaco Betting Pick: Draw
Ligue 1 Matchday 7 – Preview – Troyes vs. Lens – Info

The match that will kick off this new Ligue 1 matchday will be the one between Troyes and Lens, tomorrow Friday, September 09, 2022, at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, home of Lens at 03:00 pm ET.
The two teams have met 46 times throughout history. Lens is the team with the most wins in that time with 23 victories to their credit. Troyes have managed just 10 wins, while 13 matches have ended in draws.
Lens is one of the 3 teams that remain undefeated in these first 6 rounds of Ligue 1 and, that is why they are located in third place in the standings with 14 points, only 2 behind PSG and Marseille in the first place. Lens wants to return to being an important team in Ligue 1, and it seems that this season is the ideal one for them.
The last game played by Lens was a draw against Reims with a score of 1-1 on the road, now they must make their home status count to take an important victory that will allow them to remain at the top of the standings.
–
On the other hand, Troyes has managed to recover very well after a difficult start of the season, suffering 3 consecutive defeats and, they come to this match with a very good streak of 2 wins and 1 draw in the last 3 games played. Thanks to this, they have managed to climb to 11th place in the standings and are only 3 points away from sixth place.
Like Lens, Troyes comes into this matchday after a draw in their last match, with a score of 1-1.
In this match, our pick is a comfortable win for the home team, Lens and we predict a final score of 2-0.
Troyes vs. Lens Betting Pick: Lens
