Each day of Ligue 2, we offer you a decryption of the challenges to come, in particular for the teams in the region: Grenoble, Annecy and Saint-Etienne.

The match to follow: Bastia – Le Havre
After 32 games without losses, the Le Havre leader fell twice in a row, in Annecy (1-0) and against Valenciennes (2-0), and his accession to Ligue 1 is finally slow in coming. The trip to Furiani is not the easiest way to get the last points that the Normans are missing, especially since the Bastiais continue to advance strongly even if they have nothing left to play for (a defeat in the six last matches). And the HAC remains on… 12 trips to Corsica without winning (8n, 4d).
The phrase: “We are hard to follow”
François Lajugie, the defender of FC Annecy who is playing for his survival in Ligue 2 before the reception of Bordeaux who will come to try to validate his rise in Ligue 1: “We are hard to follow, we are capable of anything. To beat Le Havre (1-0), Marseille (2-2, 7-6 pens) and to lose at home against Rodez (3-0) in a somewhat inexplicable way. From the outside, it’s unreadable, because everyone saw us coming to win at Niort (2-2, on the last day) […] But we have confidence in ourselves and we know that at the Parc des Sports, we are capable of beating anyone. We will be determined. »
At the state’: 114
During his roller coaster season, Saint-Etienne at least put on a show, sometimes a little too much for his taste, no doubt. ASSE matches have produced 114 goals in 36 days, or 3.2 per game, as the Greens go to Caen this Friday. No team had scored and conceded at least 55 goals (59/55) in a season since Tours in 2016-17 (55/60).
The player to watch: Pape Meïssa Ba
He was one of the National’s terrors last season, finishing as the division’s top scorer with 21 goals. But the Senegalese striker is struggling this season with the GF38 where he has scored only two goals in Ligue 2, against the two teams already relegated, Nîmes and Niort. Mute since October 15, Meïssa Ba has only two games left, including the trip to Valenciennes this Friday (8:45 p.m.) to end on a good note.
