After 25 L1 matches, Racing has a 15-point lead over Nantes, a barrage-runner, 19 over Nîmes and 22 over Dijon, which occupy the last two places in the championship. Obtaining maintenance is therefore only a matter of days or weeks, if there was a bad series.
Success will allow Lensois to reach the 40 point mark. A level that has enabled many teams in recent seasons to maintain this: Small focus on the situation at the bottom of the table for 10 seasons, without taking into account the last one which was stopped because of the health crisis.
Over the last 10 seasons at 38 days, the maintenance is played on average at 40 points
During the last 3 seasons, the last team maintained in L1 has never reached the 40 point mark: in 2018-2019 Monaco 17th concluded the championship with 36 points. Lille had accumulated 38 the previous season. Caen, 37 during the 2016 2017 financial year.
3 teams needed more than 40 points to obtain their maintenance over this same period: 40 in 2016 and 42 in 2015 for Toulouse, 42 also for Nice in 2014.
The most contested season at the bottom of the table, since 2009, remains that during the period 2010 2011, Nice needed 46 points to keep his place among the elite.
