Points scored in the last nine rounds: RC Strasbourg Alsace: 16 AJ Auxerre: 11 FC Nantes: 4 Three clubs can still finish in 17th So now the final battleground concerns 17th place. Winners of four of their last six games, Strasbourg are on a roll and currently sit in 15th (39 pts), with a five-point lead over AJA (16th, 34 pts) and six over FC Nantes (33 pts, 17th). With only six points up for grabs before the end of the season, RCSA are clearly the best positioned of the three clubs involved. In fact, over the last ten seasons, no team with a total of 38 points after R36 has finished in the bottom four (0/7). Only 8% of the clubs with so few points at this stage of the season have not ended up among the bottom four places (11/134). Between Auxerre and Nantes, separated on the table by only one point, the fight promises to be more intense; the clubs are on similar dynamics at the moment, having taken just two points in the last five games. As a result, the remaining fixtures will be decisive for these teams.
