Recap
On 3 rounds until the end of the season, things in Ligue 2 are very clear. Le Havre will finish as a 1st placed team, and they deserve that because all season they are the leading team in the standings. The biggest battle for direct promotion will be between Metz and Bordeaux. The Girondins have +1 point from 3rd placed Metz, having 6 wins in the last 8 rounds. They took a goalless draw in the last round against Quevilly Rouen, and didn’t receive a single goal in the previous 4 games. Laval is leading a relegation fight, with only 1 point above the red zone. They are one of the worst away teams with only 1 win in the last 12 games (1-2-9), with 5 consecutive defeats, and have some absences like Gonçalves (30/1), Sanna (19/1) and Ferhaoui (14/0). Bordeaux is superior in quality, has the motivation of promotion, and holds the second ticket in their hands.
