With two points behind the first non-relegation Auxerre, FC Nantes will play their maintenance on the last day of Ligue 1. The Canaries will have to beat Angers at home and hope that the promoted does not beat Racing Club de Lens. A scenario that would drive journalist Pascal Praud completely crazy!
Before the 38th and last day of Ligue 1, which will be played on Saturday evening, the dynamic is clearly not in favor of FC Nantes. The Canaries remain on 14 consecutive games (5 draws and 9 defeats) without a victory in the league! To find traces of Nantes’ last success in L1, you have to go back to February 12, when the men of former coach Antoine Kombouaré beat FC Lorient (1-0). This is how the resident of Beaujoire finds himself 17th and relegated before playing for his survival against Angers.
The daring bet of Pascal Praud
A victory against the red lantern, already condemned for several weeks, will be imperative for the formation trained by Pierre Aristouy. And at the same time, the people of Nantes will have to hope that their one and only direct competitor, AJ Auxerre, the first non-relegation player with a two-point lead, does not beat Racing Club de Lens at Abbé-Deschamps. The scenario is not impossible. But given the results of recent months, keeping the Canaries in Ligue 1 would be quite miraculous.

The proof, FCN supporter Pascal Praud launched a crazy bet on the air. ” If FC Nantes stays in Ligue 1, I run naked in Paris all night longreleased the journalist in the program The listeners have the floor, on the airwaves of the radio RTL. If I don’t believe it? On the contrary ! I think Auxerre won’t beat Lens and I think Nantes can beat Angers. I hope so, anyway. If Nantes manages to save himself, many will remember his promise.
