History, results and tables

It was the two- point rule; case of a tie was the goal difference - and even if the how, was the same this year at Lyon and Troyes, the higher number of goals scored - the decisive factor for the placement. The modified in the preseason bonus point system, which was further comprising: an additional point was awarded each team for each game they had won at least three goals difference. This experiment, which was established to promote the attack football, was not continued beyond this season also.

Nice, in the previous year, only 14, started with three bonus point victories brilliantly in the season; in November, the team had to their new handlebar Jean -Marc Guillou seven points clear of the defending champions, who until Christmas, however, came within two points. Reason for this was that Saint- Étienne did not focus exclusively on his European matches and the league operating regarded as secondary; rather, the ASSE could " take Elan their international successes " and the proved over the season, especially abroad as well established as its rival. Before a home crowd both were anyway not to defeat the rest of the Division 1: Nice afforded there four, Saint-Étienne five draws. At the end of the Verts kept the team from the Côte d' Azur on distance and for the third year in a row champion. This success, along with the unfortunate outcome of the European final which helped them end up at a car parade on the Champs Elysees, and made it - as in front of them just Stade Reims two decades earlier - the " object of a wide france enthusiasm ". Nice was qualified by his surprising performance in the UEFA Cup, as Sochaux third.

At the bottom, Avignon was made in the spring relegated; the novice remained winless away and got there at all only two draws. With it, Monaco and Strasbourg had to vacate their places in the next season of three West French teams ( SCO Angers, Rennes and - Stade Laval - for the first time in their history ) were taken. The special features of this season was the dominance of Argentine striker ( see below); four of them ( Bianchi, Onni, Curioni and Yazalde ) achieved together as many goals as the entire teams of Saint -Etienne and Strasbourg.
