Relegation battle heats up as Ligue 1 sides struggle, Ajaccio fights to stay alive.

The relegation battle in Ligue 1 is heating up as teams struggle to secure their survival in the top-flight competition. One side that has been hit hard by the league's tough schedule is Ajaccio, who are fighting tooth and nail to avoid the drop.

Ajaccio have struggled throughout the season, with just one win from their last eight games, leaving them with just two points from their previous 12 matches. The team's struggles have been compounded by injuries to key players such as midfielder Mathieu Debuchy, who has been out for much of the campaign due to injury.

Despite these challenges, Ajaccio remain determined to fight on and avoid the drop. Manager Lucien Favre has made it clear that his side will not give up without a fight, even if it means sacrificing some of their star players to do so.

Meanwhile, rivals Paris Saint-Germain continue to dominate the league, with the club having won all but one of their matches this season. However, they too face a difficult challenge in securing their place in Europe's elite competitions, with only four wins from their previous 14 fixtures.

As the league continues to play out its twists and turns, the battle for survival in Ligue 1 remains intense. With each match comes a new opportunity for teams to gain ground and close the gap on the leaders, or to slip further behind and face the prospect of a quick exit from the top flight.

But for teams like Ajaccio, who are battling to stay alive in the league, every game counts. They may be facing uphill battles, but they refuse to give up and keep fighting until the very end. And with each point gained, they become more and more confident, knowing that anything can happen in football - especially at this time of year.
