Course of the season and Table

Each team wore against each group opponent a back and a leg off, even before a home crowd and once away. It was the three- point rule; case of a tie, the goal difference was the decisive factor for the placement.

While Caen immediately found its way back into the first division, Marseille took over one year more for it; but this time the Association Olympique no longer refused to rise. After four seasons in the second division and Nancy managed the return to the " footballing upper house "; in the cold had Laval, until the end of the season the only serious rival of the three teams.

At the lower end of the table Alès was very early firmly relegated, while Angers, two years earlier, even first division, long with three competitors - could keep up the fight against relegation, this eventually but could not avoid - including two of the four " upstarts " of the previous year. This sporty fate shared Angers with the elf from Dunkerque, who had to leave the Division 2 after 30 years of continuous membership and second division should not go back there until well into the 21st century. Poitiers finally had to go only on goal difference over Mitaufsteiger Epinal this path to the third tier.

In the 462 matches 974 goals were scored; which corresponds to an average of only 2.11 goals per game - the second lowest in the history of the second division after 1990 / 91st Goalscorer and thus winning the league's top scorer was, like in the previous year, Tony Cascarino Olympique Marseille, this time with 30 hits.
