Ligue 1 Relegation: 2025-26 Ante-Post Tips

With the top end of the table looked at, now we need to look at the bottom side of the division, and there are some interesting teams in the relegation picture, in my eyes.

Metz, for the bookmakers, are the favourites to go down and I would struggle to disagree with them right now. Investment has been minimal in a team that probably needs quite a lot after a summer of poaching.

Despite them being the favourites, we can still get Evens on this selection at the time of writing, which could be good value.

For the other relegation spot, I am looking at Lorient. Les Merlus won Ligue 2 last season, but they do not look like they have made enough recruitment to bridge the gap to the top division, at least not yet.

They, in many respects, have done better than Metz, largely because they have kept their team together. However, this could also bite them at the end of the season. In other words, it will be a big test for them.

Finally, there are several teams that could find themselves in the relegation play-off at the end of the season. However, I think it could be Le Havre's spot, last season they conceded a staggering 71 goals, and stayed up marginally.

If they were involved at the bottom of the division again, it would not be a surprise, put it that way.

How Relegation Works in Ligue 1

Just like the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 is a league that consists of 18 teams rather than 20, with the latter being the standard among Europe's top leagues. As a result, the bottom two teams are relegated at the end of every season, while the third team must take part in a play-off tie. This is played over two legs against the play-off winner in Ligue 2.

Metz finished third from the bottom in the 2023/24 season on the same amount of points as Lorient, though with a better head-to-head away goals scored record (!). It wasn't enough in the end, though, as St. Etienne won the play-off game and thus secured their spot in the top flight for the current season.
