The Ligue 1 season is coming to a close, and with it comes the final round of the season's relegation play-offs. This year, two teams from the Ligue 1 relegated from the league will be battling for a spot in the next tier of European football.
First up, we have Lorient and Lille. Both clubs were relegated last season due to poor performances on the pitch, but they both bounced back this time around. Lorient went on a run of form that saw them finish the season with six wins and one draw, while Lille also had a strong run of form that saw them win five out of their seven games. Despite having a similar level of talent, however, Lille was able to avoid relegation thanks to a strong home record, which allowed them to clinch second place in the table.
Next up, we have Nantes and Clermont. Both clubs were relegated due to poor results on the field, but they both managed to bounce back this time around. Nantes finished the season with four wins and one draw, while Clermont also had a strong run of form that saw them win six out of their eight games. Despite having a similar level of talent, Nantes was able to avoid relegation thanks to a strong away record, which allowed them to clinch fourth place in the table.
Finally, we have Ajaccio and Angers. Both clubs were relegated due to poor performances on the pitch, but they both managed to avoid relegation this time around. Ajaccio finished the season with three wins and one draw, while Angers also had a strong run of form that saw them win five out of their seven games. Despite having a similar level of talent, Ajaccio was able to avoid relegation thanks to a strong home record, which allowed them to clinch third place in the table.
Overall, the Ligue 1 season has been a mixed bag for many teams, as each team has faced its fair share of challenges on the pitch. However, there are still some bright spots for some of the teams, and it remains to be seen who will emerge as champions of the Ligue 1 this season.
