First in the standings, DFCO could validate their promotion to Ligue 2 as early as Friday, during the 31st matchday of the National league, if several conditions are met.
The first condition depends solely on Baptiste Ridira’s players: they must win against Valenciennes on April 24, which would bring them to a total of 59 points with three matchdays remaining.
Regardless of the result for Sochaux, attention must then turn to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th place teams in the standings. In this case as well, the situation is straightforward: if neither Fleury (to Châteauroux), nor Rouen (against Aubagne), nor Orléans (against QRM) win while Dijon wins, DFCO will be in Ligue 2.
It is also worth noting that if Dijon wins and Versailles wins, the gap between the two teams will remain at 9 points. However, in the event of a tie between only the two teams, Marié’s teammates would be ahead.
