Next 5: Bordeaux (H), Reims (H), Marseille (A), Monaco (A), Nice (H)
19th – Nantes -24pts – LDDWL – Recent highlights – Team Profile
After an ill-advised dalliance with Raymond Domenech, the Canaries have experienced a mini-revival under Antoine Kombouare. Will it be too little too late?

18th – Nimes – 25pts – LDWWW – Recent highlights – Team Profile
The Crocodiles have gone off the boil after putting together a 3 game winning streak spearheaded by the flowing locks of Renaud Ripart. A tough run-in awaits.

17th – Lorient – 27 pts – DWLLD – Recent highlights – Team Profile

16th – St-Etienne – 30pts – LLDWW – Recent highlights – Team Profile
Les Verts are not safe after a very up and down season under Claude Puel. PSG could equal their record number of titles this year, so they will want to remain at the top table at least.
Next 5: Angers (A), Monaco (H), Nimes (A), Bordeaux (H), PSG (A)
15th – Bordeaux – 33pts – LLLDL – Recent highlights – Team Profile
Having failed to win in eight matches, the Girondins are on a dreadful run, but victory against the even worse Dijon should all but secure safety.
Next 5: Dijon (A), Montpellier (A), Strasbourg (H), St-Etienne (A), Monaco (H)
14th – Strasbourg – 33pts – WDDWL – Recent highlights – Team Profile
No cup run this year for Le Racing, but the prodigiously tall Ludovic Ajorque’s goals will make sure their heads remain above water for another season.
Next 5: Rennes (A), Lens (H), Bordeaux (A), PSG (H), Nimes (A)
13th – Brest – 34pts – WLLDW – Recent highlights – Team Profile
The Pirate Team are looking good for survival. With 50 goals leaked, it’s hardly been a tight ship at the back, but stopper Larsonneur has often bailed them out.
Next 5: Marseille (A), Angers (H), Lorient (A), Nimes (H), Lens (H)
12th – Reims – 34pts – WDDDL – Recent highlights – Team Profile
After flying out of the blocks, Boulaye Dia has not been able to rediscover his fizz. It’s not been champagne football from Reims, but they’ll be fine.
Next 5: Lyon (H), Dijon (A), Rennes (H), Nice (A), Metz (H)
11th – Nice – 35pts – WWLLL– Recent highlights – Team Profile
Back to back wins inspired by standout performer Amine Gouiri have put any relegation fears to bed, but it’s been a disappointing season for the south coast side.
Next 5: Lorient (A), Marseille (H), Nantes (A), Reims (H), Dijon (A)
10th – Rennes – 38pts – LLLLL – Recent highlights – Team Profile
It’s not been a happy new year for Rennes, going from title outsiders to the fringes of Europe. Julien Stephan has just been replaced in the dugout by Bruno Genesio.
Next 5: Strasbourg (H), Metz (A), Reims (A), Nantes (H), Angers (A)
9th – Angers – 39pts – WDDLL – Recent highlights – Team Profile
Le SCO can be satisfied with another solid season that has given them an outside shot at Europe. If that fails, the Angevins could target a first ever cup victory.
Next 5: St-Etienne (H), Brest (A), Montpellier (H), Lyon (A), Rennes (H)
8th – Montpellier – 40pts – DDWWW – Recent highlights – Team Profile
England youth star Stephy Mavididi has bolstered Montpellier’s attack this year. A place in Europe is certainly within the grasp of these top ten regulars.
Next 5: Nimes (A), Bordeaux (H), Angers (A), Marseille (H), Lille (A)
7th – Metz – 41pts – LWWLL – Recent highlights – Team Profile

Next 5: Lens (A), Rennes (H), Monaco (A), Lille (H), Reims (A)
6th – Marseille – 42pts – WLDDW – Recent highlights – Team Profile
Despite Andre Villas Boas’ comic departure, a fan attack on the training ground, and Payet and Thauvin’s ongoing personal feud, they are still somehow 6th. What crisis?
Next 5: Brest (H), Nice (A), Dijon (H), Montpellier (A), Lorient (H)
5th – Lens – 44pts – WDWDD – Recent highlights – Team Profile
Unbeaten in eight, the Blood and Gold’s return to the top flight has been magnificent. Former Lens youth product Gael Kakuta has been a big factor in their renaissance.
Next 5: Metz (H), Strasbourg (A), Lyon (H), Lorient (H), Brest (A)
4th – Monaco – 55pts – LWWDW – Recent highlights – Team Profile

3rd – Lyon – 59pts – WDWLW – Recent highlights – Team Profile
With no European distractions and Memphis Depay and Houssem Aouar both still on the books, this is the best chance Lyon have had at the title for years.
Next 5: Reims (A), PSG (H), Lens (A), Angers (H), Nantes (A)
2nd – PSG – 60pts – WWLWW – Recent highlights – Team Profile
This will not be a stroll to the title for Pochettino, as he will have to juggle Champions League commitments with a tricky run-in. Still favourites nevertheless.

1st – Lille – 62pts – WDWDW – Recent highlights – Team Profile
