Franse Lique 1 2012-2013

Vrijdag 10 augustus trapt regerend landskampioen Montpellier het seizoen af. Zij ontvangen Toulouse die vorig seizoen op de 8e plek eindigden. Door de grote aankopen van PSG zal Montpellier het zwaar krijgen om de titel te verdedigen. De verwachting zal hoog liggen bij PSG die voor 100 miljoen investeerde tot dus ver op de transfermarkt. Het moet echter nog blijken of deze spelers van formaat, samen ook een team vormen.

Verder zullen Lyon en Lille ook weer kans maken op de titel, maar hun kansen lijken minder groot. Dit seizoen zullen er regelmatig voorbeschouwingen worden gemaakt door mij die ik in dit topic ook zal promoten.
