Transit time
But how is the Gym doing?
Although the Aiglons started the league slowly (1 point in 3 matches), since then, they are progressing at a rate of two points per match. With 23 points on the board, they find themselves in 7th place after about a third of the season. In order to evaluate Patrick Vieira’s side’s start to the campaign, here is a comparison with the numbers achieved by their predecessors.
Behind the Gym of 2016-17, which will forever remain an extraordinary effort (33 points after 13 games, 10 wins), Youcef Atal and his teammates have the highest number of victories (7), on a par with the team led by the duo of Hatem Ben Arfa and Valère Germain.
With the final sprint of the calendar year approaching, the Red and Blacks have 9 points more than their counterparts from last season at the same moment in time. In the last 10 seasons, the Gym of 2018-19 sit on the podium, with a one point deficit on the team from 2015-16, who ended the season with qualification for the Europa League.
