After a weekend marked by the 8th round of the Coupe de France, the Ligue 2 clubs return to the championship this weekend. This Friday evening, the 16th day began at 8 p.m. with five matches on the program. While waiting for ASSE to travel to Dunkirk tomorrow evening, Red Star could provisionally recover second place in the standings.
Clermont wanted to confirm their point from their trip against Red Star, at home against a Boulogne team looking to move up the standings. The two teams met again, 6 months after the play-off at the end of last season.
Guingamp hosted Annecy with the aim of finding consistency. The Savoyards, for their part, wanted to take points to stay away from the teams at the bottom of the table.
Le Mans wanted to continue its very good series to remain in the top 5 of the championship. The promoted team welcomed the Amiens, in danger with 15 points. Paul Bernardoni’s teammates had the same number of points as Nancy, 17th and relegated before this day.
Bastia hoped to overthrow an ambitious and solid Red Star third in Ligue 2. The Corsicans were for their part obliged to take points quickly to continue to believe in a return to the race for maintenance.
After a defeat in Boulogne, Grenoble hoped to restart the machine against Nancy, in search of points to move away from the red zone. The Lorraines occupied the penultimate place in the ranking since their defeat against ASSE on the last day.
Le Mans gets closer to ASSE, Red Star match stopped
Between Clermont and Boulogne, the match was played around the hour mark. After El Farissi opened the score, it was Diedhiou who equalized for CF63. Guingamp, for its part, was crushed by FC Annecy, with goals from Larose (x2) and Touré.
A competitor seems to be emerging for ASSE. Victorious at Geoffroy-Guichard, the Manceaux temporarily climbed to 4th place this Friday. Patrick Videira’s players won 1-0 against Amiens thanks to a goal from Rabillard.
In Corsica, the match between Bastia and Red Star, one point behind the Greens before the start of this day, was stopped. The fault lies with a smoke bomb thrown by a supporter at Ile-de-France player Bradley Danger. The Grenoblois achieved a valuable success in front of their home crowd, defeating Nancy (1-0) thanks to a penalty from Benet.
