The Ligue 2 2004/05 was the 66th staging of the second highest French football league . It was a league with only professional teams.

The game was played from August 6, 2004 to May 27, 2005. AS Nancy became second division champions .

societies

The 14 clubs that had not been promoted to the first division or relegated to the third division (national) or lower after the previous season were eligible to participate ; there were also three first division relegated and three promoted from the national . Thus, the following 20 teams played for the Ligue 2 championship this season :

The top three clubs were directly eligible for promotion. The three worst placed participants had to relegate and were replaced by as many third division promoters.

Season course

Each team played a return match against each group opponent, once in front of their own audience and once away. The three-point rule applied ; in the event of a tie, the goal difference was decisive for the placement.

The three later promoted teams had already separated themselves so far from the chasing field several game days before the end of the season that they could play the second division championship relatively “relaxed” among themselves. In the end, Nancy was ahead of the game, while Le Mans - after just one year in L2 - and Troyes finished tied on points. Behind them was a group of six teams, which included the two other relegated teams from the previous year (Guingamp and Montpellier) and two teams that had competed in third class twelve months earlier (Dijon and Brest). The third previous year's climber, the red-whites from Reims , was also able to secure its membership in the second division for another season.

In the 380 encounters 848 hits were scored; this corresponds to an average of 2.2 goals per game. The most successful goalscorer and thus the winner of the league top scorer was Bakari Koné from Lorient with 24 goals, who had scored more than half of all goals of his team. The following season came with Stade Malherbe Caen , SC Bastia and FC Istres three relegated from Ligue 1 ; Only two teams rose from the third-highest league, namely Valenciennes-Anzin FC and - after 16 years of absence from professional football from this particularly traditional club - FC Sète . The national runner-up (D3) , AS d'Origine Arménienne Valence , did not receive a license for the second division after the end of the season for financial reasons; as a result, the table eighteenth Clermont did not have to relegate.
