Ligue 1

The 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season has struck a fine balance between attack and defence. With 632 goals in 229 matches — an average of 2.76 per game — the competition has delivered plenty of drama without sacrificing tactical discipline.

Title Race. There is almost nothing between the top two. Paris Saint Germain sit on 57 points, with Lens just 1 point behind. Every matchday could bring a change at the summit.

Form & Momentum. Monaco are the form team of the moment, collecting 15 points from their last five matches. That blistering run puts them at the top of the form table, with Rennes (12pts) the next best.

Goals & Stars. M. Greenwood leads the scoring charts with 15 goals for Marseille, but J. Panichelli (14) is close behind in what promises to be a tight race for the Golden Boot.

Season Comparison. Paris Saint Germain led the standings at this stage last season and hold top spot again, suggesting their consistency is no fluke. Lens have made the biggest climb, rising 6 places from 8th to 2nd.
