As the season winds down, it's clear that the Ligue 1 relegation zone is a hotbed of drama. Nantes, Clermont, Ajaccio, and Angers all face off in this crucial area of the league, with the winner likely to secure their spot in the top flight for next season.
Nantes have been one of the standout teams in Ligue 1 this season, finishing third on goal difference behind Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon. However, they've struggled in the relegation zone, losing three of their last four games and finding themselves just two points above the bottom three.
Clermont, meanwhile, have had a much more mixed season, finishing sixth but still managing to avoid relegation. They'll be hoping to bounce back from their recent loss against Nice and give themselves a fighting chance of staying up.
Ajaccio have also had a tough few months, winning only one game in their last six and currently sitting in the bottom three. They'll be desperate to get back into the play-offs, while Angers, who finished fifth last season, will be looking to make the most of their final opportunity to stay in the top flight.
The battle for survival in the relegation zone is set to be intense, with each team vying for their place in the top flight. It's anyone's guess as to which team will emerge victorious, but one thing is certain - there's sure to be plenty of drama and excitement throughout the rest of the season.
