The battle for survival in Ligue 1 has reached its climax as three teams - Nantes, Clermont and Ajaccio - fight tooth and nail to avoid relegation. With just five rounds remaining, the pressure is on these teams to secure their place in France's top flight.
Nantes, who currently sit in the bottom three, will be looking to bounce back from a poor run of form that has seen them win just one game in their last seven. The team will need to turn things around quickly if they want to avoid the drop.
Clermont, meanwhile, have also had a tough few weeks, losing two of their last three games and dropping down the table. They will be hoping that a win or draw in their final four matches will see them secure their place in the league.
Ajaccio, on the other hand, have been performing well this season, sitting comfortably in mid-table. However, they will not want to take anything for granted as they face a tough task of securing their place in the league.
With only five rounds left, the intensity of the battle for survival is set to reach new heights. These teams will need to put in all-out efforts if they want to avoid relegation and ensure their places in France's top flight.
