well before meatmen gets here i have just one pick

LB Châteauroux v Clermont Foot Draw @ 3.00

Clermont have an amazing away record with two wins and 10 draws. and since this result should be enough for the home team to stay up it just seems logical. although football is not the most logical tnihg in the world. and i don't think we can expekt some nice football here. goalless draw or 1:1 is something i expekt. also if you like watching H2H last 3 matches when Chateauroux was at home it was a draw.

What about Ajacco-Dijon? Dijon needs 1 point to avoid relegation.

[anabelle]

amiens look good
sedan can win grenoble already [romoted

i really can't understand these bookies with odds on ajjacio arround 3.30 or even more. ok Dijon needs a point but why are they so sure they will get it. it's like every league is about fixing in the last fey rounds.

i can understand that this hapens here and there (especially in italy) but not in every f*cking game

and if it ends with a draw or with an away win everyone will bi sure it's fixed. there will be no posibility that they actually played better. it's just sad to see this kind of thinking.

[Sheva]

If it is fixed, and what? Bookies don't care, they don't give a shit on it. They only want to receive their margin and that's it.

[anabelle]

i like amiens and sedan

[Sheva]

As for me, I don't like Amien. The relegated team can easily and loudly close the door. (it's a Russian phrase, I'm from Kiev, Ukraine btw) And it sometimes and rather often happens. I take Guegnion.

I agree with Sedan. Grenoble needs nothing.

[anabelle]

Gueugnon are already down and amiens despite nothing to play for won 2-5 against libourne.
niort need to win toay

waiting meatman previews

sedan straight win ..

this bet will be my only bet from fr2 tonight ..

after losing to lyon on france cup ...1-0 with juninho's goal ..sedan did not go down ..and they played full squad against troyes ..and won the match away ..
now they come against victory drunk of lieague 1 grenoble..which has got a solid defence ----conciding just 1 goal in last 7 matches ..

sedan playing good at home would like to cheer their fans on the last game..

OK here are my thoughts on the last round of matches.



Ajaccio v Dijon - Dijon need just a point to survive but this might be a tough game for them. Disappointing last week against Angers and facing an in form Ajaccio side. I don’t feel that the hosts will lose this game so Ajaccio +0.25 @ 1.88 looks quite good to me.

Amiens v Gueugnon - I don't know here, Amiens don’t have to win and its been a long tough season for them. Gueugnon have played much better in the last few weeks so anything could happen - no bet for me.

Angers v Brest - Both teams have ended the season fairly strongly and this will be a competitive match. But I'll often give preference to the home team in this sort of game so Angers -0.25 AH @ 2.05 represents some value IMO.

Boulogne v Niort - Huge relegation battle and I'll side with Niort. they need just a point to confirm survival whilst Boulogne pretty much need to win (draw might be sufficient though) Niort are the better team IMO and I don’t think they will lose. +0.25 AH @ 2.05 looks quite good to me.

Chateauroux v Clermont - To be honest I quite fancy Clermont here, but I won’t bet on them. Chateauroux are now safe and have little to play for but are generally quite strong at home. This could go any way and the best option is to no bet IMO.

Guingamp v Troyes - Clear value on the home win here for me against a Troyes side that has ended the season in an awful way. -0.25 AH @ 2.07 looks really big.

Le Havre v Brest - I'm not sure with this match because nobody has too much to play for. Le Havre’s odds look too short to me, there is no guarantee that they will win. No bet here for me.

Montpellier v Libourne - MHSC are very strong at home and should be able to beat already relegated Libourne. We saw last week that the penguins collapsed so something similar could happen again. Montpellier -1 AH @ 1.97 looks good to me.

Reims v Nantes - why Nantes are favourites here is beyond me. They are already promoted in 2nd position and have nothing to play for. Reims with home advantage will want to please their fans and claim a victory. So Reims (0) AH @ 2.21 looks quite big IMO.

Sedan v Grenoble - I’ve seen many times in the past a team gets promoted and then just switches off in their next match. Grenoble have had to work hard and wont care what happens tonight, especially as they are away from home. The northerners will want to put up a show for their fans so I’ll take Sedan -0.25 AH @ 2.0

[meatman]

Gueugnon have come from 0-4 down to draw level at 4-4 in AMiens

absolutely incredible !!!

I end the season well with 5/7 winners

Gutted that Boulogne scored in the last seconds to stay up (I had taken them @ 5/1 to be relegated a few wekes ago)

Boulogne do not deserve to stay in Ligue 2 and its a shame to see Niort go down.

Still such is football.......


Not the best of years for me overall in Ligue 2, but I performed much better in the 2nd half of the season.

Always nice to end on a positive note and I was delighted to see a couple of my teams win 5-0

I'll be back stronger next season

[hits]

Damn, wished i had waited for Meatmans preview

Had Amiens, Sidan, Chateauroux(draw), Doncaster.
