Europe 1 with AFP 8:25 p.m., December 25, 2022

Ligue 2, which was interrupted on November 12 due to the World Cup in Qatar, resumes on Monday with the tantalizing clash at the top between Le Havre, the leader, and its runner-up Bordeaux (7:05 p.m.) at the Océane stadium, during the 16th day.

It's finally the return of Ligue 2!

And to celebrate, nothing better than a shock at the top.

The leader Le Havre will face his dolphin Bordeaux from 7:05 p.m. at the Océane stadium.

The Normans seem to be heading quickly towards Ligue 1 (only the first two will be promoted) with their provisional record of nine wins, five draws and only one defeat, in Valenciennes (1-0) during the second day.

The HAC, the best attack in the championship (24 goals) with Sochaux and Metz, already have a four-point lead over Bordeaux, which however remains under threat from its immediate pursuers Sochaux (3rd at 1 point) and Grenoble (4th at 2 points).

The last defeat of the Girondins in the league dates back to November 5 in Nîmes (1-0), a team yet struggling to maintain (16th, 15 points).

Maintenance operation for Saint-Étienne

For its part, Sochaux will host another poorly ranked Rodez (18th) and Grenoble will play on the ground of Quevilly-Rouen (13th).

Saint-Etienne, beaten at home by Rodez (2-0) on the last day, will try to restore some hope in Annecy (15th), but the maintenance operation seems to be in bad shape on the side of Forez.

The Greens, relegated at the end of last season and hit with a three-point penalty before the start of the current championship, are twentieth and last, one point behind Niort (19th).

The Chamois will make a perilous trip to Metz (8th), which is still seven points behind Bordeaux, and eleven on Le Havre.
