History, results and tables

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

Marseille managed to defend the title with relative ease, because the pre-season to -favorites counterparty declared Saint -Etienne and Nantes were the expectations not just. Although Saint- Étienne won both games against Olympique and had the most prolific attack in the league, but allowed himself alone six home defeats and made temporarily more by the attacks of its President Roger Rocher against his Marseille counterpart Marcel Leclerc talked about, of the as " unfair solicitation was ready a long time to accept the " observed change of goalkeeper and defender Carnus Bosquier to OM.
