With two days to go until the penultimate home game of the season (Nice – Nantes, on Saturday at 8pm), Les Aiglons currently sit in 7th place with 52 points. Just two points behind their tally from the 2017-18 season.

The objective of Week 36 of Ligue 1? Beat the 54 points that were picked up last season.

A win over Les Canaris (11th, 46 points) would allow Patrick Vieira’s side to climb to 55 points, with two games left to play in the league. 

A total that the Red and Blacks have achieved on just six occasions since their promotion to the top flight.
