With a duel at the top between leaders Clermont and Lens in epilogue Saturday (15:00), the League 2 will certainly see his podium turned upside after the third day.

The Clermontois are receiving Saturday the Lens in a match that promises the show, each team having scored at least twice in their first two games.

A misstep from one of the two clubs will be watched by Lorient and Chambly, who complete the quartet of six-point training.

Friday (20:00), the Bretons will have the opportunity to take the lead of the championship on the lawn of Nancy (10th, 2 pts), which will rely on his striker Vagner Dias, on fire for six months and author of his first goal of the weekend season spent in Valenciennes.

Victorious Valenciennes then Orleans on the smallest score (1-0), the promoted Picard can confirm his start of the season ideal, against moribund Grenoblois (12th, 1 point) and deprived of Loïc Nestor and Pierre Gibaud in defense, as well as their rookie Florian Raspentino in attack, three injured executives.

The former Ligue 1, Caen (13th, 1 pt) and Guingamp (16th, 1 pt), have to start their season with their first victory.

The task looks even more complicated for the Normans, who move to Ajaccio (6th, 4 pts), while the Bretons receive Orleans (15th, 1 pt).

Among the other matches on the program, Le Mans hosts Valenciennes, Troyes receives Le Havre and Rodez, in ambush behind the leading quartet, faces Paris FC at the Stadium in Toulouse.
