Second victory in a row for Nîmes, winner at home against Bordeaux (2-0) thanks to goals from Meling and Ripart against Bordeaux who lost a fourth game out of five.
The Gardois thus take six points ahead of Dijon, more than ever after its defeat in Lens (2-1).
Goals from Fofana and Banza allow the Northerners to climb to fifth rank (40 pts), two units ahead of Metz, sixth thanks to his victory on the lawn of Nice, which chains a third setback (1-2) and points to a very sad 16th place.
In the last match at 3 p.m., Strasbourg and Angers separated with a goalless draw (0-0).
