Still in the race for fifth place, the Gym travels to their eternal Phocaean rival, who has just qualified for the Europa League final. A very complicated match awaits the Eagles.
While the Gym will be making a second consecutive trip, a week after their draw in Strasbourg (1-1), the two teams ahead of them will play in front of their home crowd.
At 3 PM, the Stéphanois will kick things off. Undefeated in 13 matches (8 wins, 5 draws) and currently 5th since the last matchday, Jean-Louis Gasset’s men will host the Girondins de Bordeaux, who are still in the race (9th, 46 points).
At 5 PM, Rennes, Guingamp, Montpellier, and Nantes will take over. 6th-placed, the Bretons from SRFC will try to continue their momentum at Roazhon Park against Strasbourg. Their neighbors from Guingamp (11th, 46 points) will be traveling to Dijon, while the Canaries and the Héraultais, both with 46 points, will face each other at La Beaujoire.
