Everything will be decided next Friday. We will have to wait a little longer to know the verdicts of Ligue 2 and the names of the two teams that will win the tickets for the upper floor at the start of the school year. Unbeaten for 32 days - record of its kind equaled - and leader since the 14th day, Le Havre snatched in extremis, this Friday on the 37th and penultimate day of the championship, the sharing of points in Bastia (1-1) thanks to a goal by Grandsir in the 88th minute. An equalization obtained after a refereeing error that provoked the anger of the Corsicans.
END OF THE MULTIPLEX 💥🔚

If Le Havre stop a series of two setbacks and remain at the top of the table, they are still not guaranteed to return to Ligue 1 in a few weeks. Metz, winners in Sochaux (0-1) and new runner-up, and Bordeaux, beaten (0-1) in Annecy, point to three short lengths before the final day.
If Le Havre keeps its destiny in its hands - a draw would be enough to validate their rise - the three-way fight for the two tickets between these emblematic clubs of French football promises to be thrilling and indecisive until the end.
At the bottom of the ranking, the suspense also remains intact. If Nîmes and Niort are already condemned to relegation, six teams (Valenciennes, Annecy, Pau, Rodez, Laval and Dijon) stand in 3 points and will scrap next Friday to avoid the last two folding seats for the National.
Le Havre and Bordeaux will host Rodez and Dijon respectively, while Metz will host Bastia.
