Ligue 2 Standings & Stats

The Ligue 2 25/26 season in France is heating up after 34 matchdays, with Troyes leading the pack. As one of Europe's most competitive second tiers, this campaign features 22 teams battling for promotion and survival. With 314 matches already finished and an average of 2.52 goals per game, the action has been intense. Troyes sit at the summit with 67 points, holding a five-point advantage over Le Mans. Below, we break down the table, title probabilities, key stats, and how you can find reliable match predictions.

Ligue 2 Table

The current standings highlight a clear hierarchy at the top. Troyes have been the standout side, winning 20 of their 34 games and scoring 60 goals, while conceding only 33. Their consistency has put them in control. Le Mans remain the strongest challenger, with just 4 losses all season but too many draws (14) to keep pace fully. Saint Etienne sit third with 60 points, still within striking distance thanks to 18 wins. The race for European spots or promotion is crowded: Red Star FC 93 and Rodez Aveyron are tied on 58 points, Reims follow with 56, and Annecy with 52 round out the top seven. With a 22-team division, every point matters as the campaign winds down.

Favorites & Title Chances

Based on the current points, gaps, and remaining schedule, we estimate the title probability as follows:

• Troyes (67 pts) – ~60%: The leaders have a five-point cushion and the division's best goal difference (+27). Their 20 wins reflect a side capable of closing out matches. With eight games left, they are in the driver's seat.
• Le Mans (62 pts) – ~25%: The second-placed team has lost only four times, the fewest in the top flight, and boasts a solid defense (31 conceded). Their 14 draws, however, may cost them if Troyes keep winning. They need near perfection to leapfrog the leaders.
• Saint Etienne (60 pts) – ~10%: Seven points back, the third-placed side has an uphill task. Their attacking output (59 goals) rivals Troyes, but inconsistency (10 losses) leaves little room for error. They must win most of their remaining games and hope for slip-ups above them.
• Others – ~5%: Red Star FC 93 and Rodez Aveyron are nine points behind; a title push would require an unprecedented collapse from the top three.

Season Stats

The 314 completed matches have produced an average of 2.52 goals per game, underlining the offensive nature of Ligue 2 this season. Troyes lead the scoring charts with 60 goals, closely followed by Saint Etienne (59) and Reims (53). Defensively, Le Mans have the strongest record (31 against), while Troyes’ 33 conceded is also impressive. The most successful team statistically is Lorient, though they are not in the current standings, having won the league last season.
