History, results and tables

It was the two- point rule; case of a tie, the goal difference was the decisive factor for the placement.

Saint- Étienne, which finally wanted to win a championship after three " untitled years " and it had invested heavily ( Platini, Rep), delivered in the first half of the season head-to -head race with Monaco. With the renewed offensive strength but went - especially due to piazzas departure showed the Greens at the end of 50 goals conceded on (Nantes and Monaco only 30 each) - a loss of stability of the defense along, so that the Monegasque led the table in December by three points; a counter behind it ranked the FC Nantes. Last year's champion Strasbourg, however, was also in the second half "of the great absentee in the title fight ," while " the big surprise Sochaux " - the Elf from the Franche -Comté had consistently placed on players from their own youth department that was 1975 finalist in the Coupe Gambardella - was joined in the spring of 1980 to the Führungstroika. At the same time Monaco went a little air out, and the end of April took over the leadership Nantes, which clashed before the 36th matchday of the Nantes Sochaux, but only one point was. In this preliminary decision tip the game at home in the championship undefeated in four years Bretons translated - last home defeat on 15 May 1976 to Paris SG - 3-2, won their last two matches and was the fifth time in 15 years, Master. For Sochaux the runner-up title as the best placement remained for 27 years and qualified for the UEFA Cup, in which the FCS pushed forward a year later to the semifinals.

In Table basement newbie Brest was mainly due to his disastrous performance in the opposing stadiums - there only get two draws in 17 defeats, and Brest's " one-man attack " Dragutin Vabec firing shots all five goals - knocked off early, and Marseille did not have required for the relegation quality. Lyon, however, could argue against Zweitdivisionär Olympique Avignon in the subsequent Barrages. For the following season, topped with FC Tours and AJ Auxerre for two clubs, which until then had never been represented in Division 1.
