We take a look at which Ligue 1 Uber Eats clubs have been the most comfortable after Round 30 - as clubs jockey for the title, Europe and top-flight survival - over the last ten seasons.
With eight rounds to go, Ligue 1 Uber Eats' 20 clubs are entering the final stretch of this 2021-22 season. Paris Saint-Germain have taken the habit of leading this race to the line at high speed and have proven the most comfortable from R30 onwards over the last ten seasons (excluding the season truncated by COVID), with 61 victories from 90 games - that's a 68% win rate. Which is hardly surprising considering that PSG have won six of the ten titles at stake over the period.
A trio behind Paris
PSG also have the best average of points taken per game (2.22) in the final stage of the season, so they can look forward to the next few weeks with optimism, as a tenth championship title comes into view.
LOSC, AS Monaco and Olympique Lyonnais, who are a little bit behind in the race for Europe, will have to have a big end to the season if they want to clinch European finishes - but their recent history may give them some confidence. Although they are at slightly lower levels than the Parisian club, these are the other three clubs that stand out when it comes to stepping on the gas at the end of the season.
With 51 victories after R30 since the 2010-11 season, LOSC and OL follow the capital club. AS Monaco, who returned to the top flight in 2013 after having been demoted in 2011, are two seasons less successful than their two rivals, with 40 wins. On the other hand, the principality club is interposed between Lille (1.91) and Lyon (1.88) in terms of the average number of points taken per game (1.89).
Optimism for Les Verts?
Currently 18th in Ligue 1 Uber Eats, AS Saint-Etienne are used to finishing seasons well, which would be a good thing for their survival this year. Over the last ten years (excluding the 2019-20 season), Les Verts have the fifth-best record, with an average of 1.69 points taken and a win rater of 48%. Sainté's direct rivals Girondins de Bordeaux come a little further back (1.49 points per game, 40% success), while FC Lorient (1.18 points per game, 31%), FC Metz (0.83 points per game, 19%) and ESTAC Troyes (0.81 points per game, 22%) will have to improve their standards if they don't want to have a nail-biting end to the season.
