According to Opta, the site for detailed statistics concerning the major European championships, Nîmes is almost doomed to go down while Nantes is the favorite to get 18th place!
The OptaJean site excels in statistics concerning the five major European leagues (Liga, Premier League, Ligue1, etc.). And according to its predictive model, we know a little more about the chances of maintaining the teams in the fight at the end of the season. If the title race promises to be crazy to the end, that to save its place in the elite will be just as much. Dijon is no longer concerned since already certain of being relegated, there is still hope for Nîmes and Nantes.
A calendar unfavorable to Nîmes
The Crocs, 19th, also only have a 9% chance of avoiding direct relegation at the end of the season and a 0.5% chance of saving themselves directly. The calendar risks in addition to complicating the task: the Nîmes will move to Metz before receiving Lyon and finishing in Rennes, in Brittany, its L1 championship. The situation is a little different for the Canaries since they will face Bordeaux, Dijon and Montpellier. Following the two consecutive victories acquired on the grounds of Strasbourg and Brest, FC Nantes is in pole position to get this 18th coveted place in the barrage with a 55.6% chance!
