Monaco leads the 2026-27 Ligue 1 table after five matchdays on 13 points, followed by unbeaten Lyon and Paris FC on 11 points each, with Lille and Rennes a point further back. PSG sits sixth on eight points after a sluggish start that included a narrow win in Le Classique over struggling Marseille, who sit near the bottom after five straight defeats. Strong home and away results from the top sides, combined with solid goal differences and recent victories against mid-table opponents, shape early trader views on long-term qualification paths. The upcoming post-international-break fixtures and any roster adjustments during the winter window will test whether these early frontrunners maintain momentum through the winter and spring schedule.
