Actually Clermont Foot still has bigger chance for staying in Ligue 1 next season behind on the bottom position standings awhile, but Ligue 1 have regulation with two bottom standings teams will relegated to Ligue 2 and has opportunity as the third bottom standings has second chance trough playoff relegation. Clermont Foot remaining six points left from Lorient and Ligue 1 has 8 matches left.
But Clermont have to face many difficult teams on their matches left for upcoming match against PSG, then has Lens, AS Monaco and Lyon will be most difficult team for defeating. Get more time to recovery with international break out I think Clermont has opportunity get one points against PSG with inconsistency performance in domestic league currently.
If you look at Clermont Foot's remaining matches, it seems that they will have difficulty getting out of the relegation zone because they have had several tough matches and of course they will lose points in these matches. This season, Clermont Foot experienced a significant decline in performance compared to last season, even though if you look at this club, last season they were actually able to make a surprise by finishing in eighth place.
This season they are at the bottom of the standings because they failed to compete with other teams. In week 26, they could be said to be the club with the worst performance and the team most threatened with relegation. So far they are bottom with 20 points. Thus, they have to fight hard to win the remaining matches and hope that the team above them loses, but looking at the remaining matches, Clermont Foot has a small chance of escaping the relegation zone.
