The Ligue 1 relegation battle is heating up as five teams fight to survive the season. In this article, we will take a closer look at how Nantes, Clermont, and Ajaccio are fighting for their lives in the race against time.

Nantes have been one of the most consistent teams in Ligue 1 so far this season, but they have not managed to secure a place in Europe's top six. With just five rounds remaining in the season, Nantes face a tough challenge as they need to win all of their remaining games to stay in the top flight.

Clermont, on the other hand, has struggled to find form this season. They currently sit in eleventh place, eight points behind the relegation zone. However, if they manage to win any of their remaining games, they could still be safe for another season.

Ajaccio, meanwhile, are also in danger of being relegated. They are currently in 16th place, just two points above the drop zone. If they lose any of their remaining games, it could be curtains for them in Ligue 1.

All three teams are aware of the importance of securing a place in Europe's top six, and they are putting in extra effort to ensure that they finish the season strong. With only five rounds left to play, it looks like the relegation battle will remain tight until the very end.
