Playing at home against AS Monaco should help Girondins Bordeaux clinch their first title since 1999 on Saturday as they are unbeaten in the 32 games they have played at their Chaban-Delmas stadium since October 7 2007.
This season they have recorded 13 wins and five draws and won 44 points from their 18 home games, while second-placed Olympique Marseille have taken 32 and Olympique Lyon 35.
Olympique Marseille coach Eric Gerets believes his team "still have a one-in-a-thousand chance" of clinching the Ligue 1 title.
"We have to be realistic, our 3-1 defeat to Olympique Lyon last weekend had dented our chances but we are still in a position to fight for the title," he added.
"I have not forgotten that we were relegated in 2000 because Marseille had a better goal difference and they pipped us for third place and the preliminary round of the Champions League last season in the last game of the season," he told a press conference.
Monaco's international midfielder Camel Meriem has announced he will leave the club at the end of the season.
"I'm going to quit. The games gainst Girondins Bordeaux and Paris St Germain will be my last two with Monaco," the 29-year-old said in a statement posted on the club's website on Friday. "I'm talking to several clubs. I'll go to Spain or Germany."
