Standings
Ligue 1 standings this season
Ligue 1 standings rank 18 clubs over 34 rounds. A win is worth three points and a draw one, and the form strip covers the last five games home and away.
Three clubs go straight into the Champions League and the fourth into its qualifying rounds. The top half of the Ligue 1 table therefore holds four races: the title, the top three, fourth place and the Europa League spots.
GG lands in 63% of French games this season. The GF and GA columns show which clubs drive it. A side that concedes more than a goal a game away from home lifts both GG and over 2.5 when it travels.
Zones
European places and the drop in France
Ligue 1 colours more zones than most leagues. At the top sit three direct Champions League places, one qualifying place, two Europa League spots and one Conference League place. At the bottom, 16th carries the play-off colour and the last two rows the drop to Ligue 2.
With only 18 clubs, the gap between a European place and the play-off spot can close in a few weeks, and two wins in a row move a club further than in a 20-club league.
The next French round in Kenyan time is on the Ligue 1 fixtures list; tips sit on the Ligue 1 predictions page.
