France Ligue 1 2010-2011
New season of the French Ligue 1 will kick off this weekend with many teams hoping for the top spot or a place in next season of the Champions League.
The favorites remains Olympique Marseille, last edition winners with a comfortable lead over the following pack. The team has saw few changes in term of players and this could prove a great plus over their opponents.
One of the regular contenders for the top spot is Olympique Lyon, runners-up of the last season and missing the trophy for 2 years now which means the pressure is mounting among with determination to cut back on past mistakes.
With a disappointing season last year, Bordeaux managed only the 6th spot of the table proving to be far from the form they have showed in the 2008-2009 season when they where champions. This now start provides them with a great opportunity to prove themselves as a top contender and I see them through the first 3.
Auxerre, Lille and Montpelliers completed the top half last year and although Lille was expected to do so, Auxerre and Montpellier where the pleasant surprises.
