In the ongoing battle for survival in French football's second tier, Ligue 2, two teams have managed to escape relegation this season. On Saturday, Nantes and Clermont secured their safety, while another pair of clubs - Ajaccio and Angers - will be facing demotion.
Nantes' victory over Amiens saw them secure a spot in the top flight. The team, who had been struggling with form throughout the season, showed great resilience on the day, securing a 2-0 win against their rivals. This result was crucial as it means they will no longer have to worry about relegation next term.
Clermont, meanwhile, defeated Troyes at home, putting them back into the promotion places. The result was a huge boost for the club, which had been struggling to find its feet since the start of the season. With their promotion hopes now looking bright, the team can focus on improving their performances and building on their recent success.
On the other hand, Ajaccio and Angers faced demotion after losing out on promotion to Ligue 2. Despite having the advantage of playing away from home, the two sides failed to turn things around, ultimately being relegated.

Despite the disappointment of their relegation, both Ajaccio and Angers remain determined to bounce back and compete at the highest level next season. The club's fans will hope that they can turn their fortunes around and secure a place in Ligue 1, giving them a fighting chance of promotion once again.
Overall, the results in the Ligue 1 relegation battle have been closely contested and exciting. It remains to be seen how the remaining matches will play out, but one thing is certain - there has been plenty of drama and excitement in the fight for survival in French football's second tier.
