Will that be enough to console the Raf? Not sure. Entangled in a still ongoing series of 18 games without a win, the Ruthénois can at least tell themselves that there have already been worse than them in the division since 1993 and the transition to the single pool. Even if as the weeks pass without success, blood and gold progress in this unsavory ranking, they are still at a respectable distance from the record of the genre. It is held by Paris FC, which had lined up 28 consecutive matches without success, during the 2015-16 season, which ended in last place.
The Parisians had thus dethroned Alès and his series of 24 games without a win, which stretched from the end of the 1994-95 season to the start of the following year, at a time when the championship was called Division 2 and had 22 teams.
Above 15 matches without success: only 2 maintenances since 1993
As for the Raf, if his scarcity continues this evening, after the reception of Toulouse, he would be only one length from the top 5 of the worst series. And in terms of statistics, even if this is not predictive, his crossing of the desert does not bode well: only two teams having lined up more than 15 unsuccessful matches during the same season managed to save themselves. since 1993: Créteil (2002-03) and Niort (2018-19), both out of fuel for 17 matches.
