52 Points : Speed Camera

By beating St-Etienne, the Gym passed the 50 points mark after the 24th game of L1. Before the journey to Rennes, the Red and Blacks have already got 52 points in the bag. Not only does this number allow the Gym to remain in contact with Paris and Monaco, if we put it into perspective, this season is beginning to become a bit of an ode to speed.

HIGH POINTS TALLY

In the last ten seasons, the Aiglons have only passed their current points tally on 3 occasions (at the end of the season). Last year, when 63 points would be accumulated during a fantastic season (finished in 4th place). During the 2012/13 season, also finishing in 4th place, and then in 2007/08, when the Gym finished in 8th place.


In comparison with the points tally at this stage in their previous seasons, this year’s Niçois are currently in a better position. After 24 games, Lucien Favre’s squad have 16 points more than last year’s side had at this stage, 13 more than in 2012/13 and 15 more than 2007/08.

Not forgetting that since the promotion of the club to the top-flight, the Gym after the final match of the season have passed the current 52 points accumulated by the current squad on 5 occasions.
