A two-person race for the climb
Racing CFF stands out as the undisputed leader of this first part of the season with 26 points. With defensive solidity (9 goals conceded) and an effective attack (26 goals scored), the Colombes club seems well on its way to playing the leading roles until the end of the championship. Behind, Union Sportive Lusitanos Saint-Maur (second) remains in contact with 23 points. The Val-de-Marnais club offers good resistance and is counting on a second half of the season to try to overtake the leader.
The climb to National 2 will most likely be played out between these two teams, as the gap with the pursuers is so obvious. The reserve team of AJ Auxerre (third with 19 pts) and SFC Neuilly-sur-Marne (fourth with 18 pts) remain in ambush. But, they will have to achieve an almost perfect course to hope to get back into the lead.
A tight fight to maintain
At the bottom of the ranking, the situation is critical for Louhans-Cuiseaux Football Club, bottom with only 7 points, and FC Gueugnon, penultimate with 8 points. These two clubs will have to react to hope of avoiding relegation to Regional 1. US Torcy (12th with 11 points) and Sainte-Geneviève Football Club (11th with 12 points) are also in the red zone. Above the two teams, six teams which stand in three points to avoid relegation: Troyes II (10th with 12 pts), ASPTT Dijon (9th with 13 pts), US Ivry Football (8th with 14 pts ), Moulins Yzeure Foot 03 (7th with 15 pts), Football Club Montceau Bourgogne (6th with 15 pts), Dijon Football Côte-d’Or (5th with 15 pts).
This second half of the season will be crucial, both for the fight for promotion and for the battle for maintenance. Indeed, the 26th and final day, scheduled for May 18, 2025, will seal the sorting of the teams: The champion of the group will be promoted to National 2. The last four will be relegated to Regional 1, a threat that hangs over several clubs. The battle is far from over, and the stakes promise to keep the suspense going until spring. Who will succeed in coming out on top? Response in a few months.
