Football: a 9-way battle to stay in National

The suspense is total in the antechamber of professional football. With a system of 6 decent teams (1 third of the teams entered), 9 teams are seriously threatened for a descent to Nationale 2. The red lantern Cholet first. With 8 points behind the first non-relegation team, it would take a miracle for the club to get out of this situation. Above, however, is a pocket handkerchief. Only two points separate Châteauroux (12th) from Marignane (16th).

Several teams are in poor dynamics. Villefranche Beaujolais (13th) has not won a single one of its last 5 matches. The Berrichonne de Châteauroux remains on 3 consecutive defeats. Originally absent from the race, US Orléans is scared. By conceding a 7th match without a victory, with only 2 goals scored, the former residents of Ligue 2 are only 4 points ahead of the first relegated team. Conversely, with two consecutive victories, Nîmes and Avranches are finding some comfort at the end of the season.

Behind the untouchable Red Star, crowned champion last week, Martigues and Niort are still in the race to access Ligue 2. The two teams also faced each other on April 26 in Deux-Sèvres. The visitors pocketed a valuable victory which allows them to move past the Chamois for a small point.

With three days to go, Le Mans, Nancy and Dijon are not mathematically out of the race, but have a sufficient gap not to be considered favorites for the climb.
