Stade de Reims is club with great traditions, many years ago they were playing in European Cup finals against Real Madrid. This season Reims is newcomer in french 2nd division and they must fight to avoid relegation. Now club from the town of famous cathedral has 3 points gap to safe placed Creteil. In last round Reims will travel to Lorient and probably they won't take even single point from this journey because Lorient has serious chances to take promotion spot. Reims is a team with secure financial situation and their players have quality which is need to play in 2nd division. Match against Toulouse will be last chance for Reims' players to keep their hopes. Toulouse, league leaders lost three games in a row. It's interesting that in all these games Toulouse lost with teams which don't fight for nothing. Promotion of Toulouse isn't sure yet but in a last round they will meet weak Istres at home and their win here is very probable. Two seasons ago Toulouse was playing in 1st Division but club dropped to 3rd division because of financial problems. Last year Toulouse easily won promotion to 2nd division and now their comeback to 1st division is nearly sure. Their finances are more solid but still not secure. I am taking Reims with odds around @2.60 before any news (injury, bookings, etc.). If I'll find something more about this game I'll post a message here.

not with two games to go and Touluose equal on points at the top, they need to win badly which makes a draw r away a good possibility, their overall form for the season is good and they have had other bad spells, but its why they are at the top, and bad form is why reims are at the bottom, but Reims have a game next week. And its not just incentive for winning the title, as toulouse I am sure will be also happy just with promotion the incentive is Toulouse can miss promotion if they don't win any more points and other results go against them. If you are determined to back Reims then you really have to back the draw. The other thing is that Reims could win and still be relegated as their goal difference is worse than Creteil and they are 5 points behind Istres. Toulouse have to be ready to pick their day, they only have two opportunities now. I wouldn't bet on Reims unless 1X so good luck.

Le mans drew so a 2 point gap achieved but Metz Lost so they cannot be champion. Toulouse only really needs a point at home now as their goal difference should be enough to take a win shoudl Le Mans level with them.
Jhim, in France 1 three teams are relegated and i nFrance 2 three times are promoted, so Toulouse and LeMans are already Div1, Metz needs to keep Lorient on distance to promote as third.
I know, I was talking now in terms of Toulouse winning the title if they so really want it, but I know they don't need it, as I mentioned above earlier, I think they will win it though
