The battle for survival in the French Ligue 1 continues to heat up as teams jockey for position and fight for their lives in the relegation zone. Nantes and Clermont are both currently in this position, with only one point separating them from the drop zone.
Nantes, who have struggled all season, find themselves in a tight race for survival. The team has lost four of their last five games and will be hoping that they can bounce back against bottom-of-the-table Angers on Sunday. A win could see them move into a play-off spot, but a defeat would leave them even further behind.
Meanwhile, Clermont have also been struggling in recent weeks, losing three of their last four matches. They are currently in the bottom three and face a tough game at home to Montpellier on Saturday. If they lose again, they may well be facing a difficult battle to avoid relegation.
On the other hand, Ajaccio are in a much more positive position. After winning two consecutive games, they now sit just two points above the drop zone and are looking to continue their impressive form. Their next match is away to Rennes, who are currently in the top half of the table.
Overall, the Ligue 1 standings remain tightly packed and any slip-up by any of the teams in the relegation zone could lead to a dramatic change in the league table. With just six games remaining, every result will be crucial if teams want to secure their place in the top flight next season.
