The Pascal Dupraz effect is felt among the Greens.
With his new team, the 59-year-old coach believes more than ever in maintaining Ligue 1 after three straight wins.
Sunday, the Stéphanois won on the lawn of Clermont (1-2), after being led at the start of the meeting.
With this victory, ASSE now finds itself provisionally 18th with 21 points.
Operation survival remains more relevant than ever, but the dynamic has changed.
In the other 3 p.m. matches, Strasbourg dominated Angers (0-1), Brest crushed Troyes (5-1) and Nantes overcame Reims (1-0).
