Ligue 1 table: how to read points and goal difference
The gap from top to bottom is 6 points. Monaco lead on 6 with a difference of +3; Auxerre sit last on 0. Paris FC are second, 2 points behind.
Lens score most with 6 goals. Monaco defend best, conceding 0, while Auxerre have shipped 8 — the spread between those two says how uneven the league is at the back.
A club takes 1.31 points per match on average and scores 3 goals across the season. The median is 3 points (Marseille), with 6 clubs above it. The median describes a league better than the mean does: one runaway side pulls the mean up and barely moves the median.
The drop zone is 1 points from safety: Lorient sit 15th on 1, against Auxerre on 0. Those are the numbers that decide the closing weeks.
Ligue 1 home and away: split points
The Ligue 1 table recomputes separately for home fixtures and for away ones. They are the same matches split by venue, so points in the two tables always sum back to the overall one.
Ligue 1: goals, averages and difference
The season has produced 54 goals.
Angers carry the flattest goal difference at 0 — clubs on those numbers usually sit mid-table, equally far from the title and the drop.

Ligue 1: division size and what it changes
The size of a division changes how its figures read. With 18 clubs each plays 2 matches, and a run of three or four results moves a position further than it would in a league twice the size: the sample is smaller, so chance weighs more.
For the same reason the points gap between neighbouring places tends to be narrower here and the middle of the table reorders more often. Goal difference is especially useful in a division this size, because it accumulates across every match and depends less on who a club happened to face recently.
Comparing this division with others on absolute numbers — goals scored, points taken — means little where the number of rounds differs. What compares is the relative measures: points per match, scoring rate, the share of draws.
France: the divisions and where Ligue 1 sits
We cover 2 divisions in France. This is the top flight. Below it run Ligue 2, computed on the same rules.
Brest have drawn most at 2, Monaco fewest at 0.
Ligue 1: match results and head-to-head
Any two clubs can be compared in the panel alongside, which reads the same results grid the home and away tables are computed from.
Common questions
How are points awarded in the Ligue 1 table?
Three points for a win, one for a draw, none for a defeat. A side with more wins can still sit below one that draws often, but only where the number of matches played differs.
What separates clubs level on points?
Goal difference first, then goals scored. Monaco currently lead Ligue 1 on 6 points with a difference of +3.
How does the home table differ from the overall one?
The home table counts only matches played at home and the away table only those on the road. They are the same fixtures, so the two sets of points add back to the overall table. A mid-table club is often in the top three of one of them.
How many goals does a match produce on average?
The scoring average is computed from the matches played this season and shown in the metrics panel.
Where are previous seasons?
In the country archive: France, final tables year by year, split by division and, where they existed, by territorial zone.
How can two clubs be compared?
Through the head-to-head panel: pick two sides and it returns the score of their meetings this season, read from the same results grid the home and away tables are computed from.
