Last effort to provide for the TFC, which is more than ever entitled to claim the rise. If the leader keeps up the pace, the deliverance match could well fall on weekdays. Not really good news for fans.
“We still have three or four victories to go,” predicted Philippe Montanier, the TFC coach, after the success of the Violets in Auxerre before the March break.
After disgusting another of its direct pursuers on Saturday, Toulouse widened the gap a little more and confirmed its status as the ultra-favorite for the climb and the final title. With a favorable calendar, nothing seems to be able to prevent the Hauts-Garonne from reaching their goal, which could well be achieved this April.
Rodez – TFC: still on weekdays
In the event that Ajaccior wins the closing match of the 31st day, this evening on the lawn of the Nancy red lantern, the TFC would be 10 points ahead of third in the standings, Paris. A comfortable mattress to tackle the last seven meetings, during which the Toulouse team will travel to two leading teams, Ajaccio during the 38th and last day on Saturday May 14, and Sochaux, for the 34th day on Tuesday April 19.

A match that could already be decisive if Toulouse maintains its infernal pace by then. And if we still have to wait to uncork the champagne, the truth should be on the 35th or 36th day, two matches that the TFC will play… on a Monday evening.
The calendar unveiled by the Professional Football League has indeed sent the Violets twice in a row, first at home against Niort on Monday April 25 at 8:45 p.m., then on Monday May 2 (8:45 p.m.) in Rodez. A date which largely irritated a good part of the supporters, once again disgusted to see that the meeting against the neighbor Aveyron would be disputed during the week. This was already the case during the first leg in December, and most of the blood and gold public could not make the trip to the Stadium because of the late schedule.

For the return leg, the sporting stakes could also be increased tenfold, with an RAF fighting for its maintenance and a TFC for its rise.
But if the Violets, who have lost only once in the return phase, win their next three games, they would be sure to go up in case of success in Niort the previous Monday.
If things go wrong, they will have one last shot at home on May 7 against Nîmes. This time it will be a Saturday.
