Still in search of a first success after six days of the championship, USL Dunkirk is in a barrage position when it comes to attacking a month of September which could prove to be crucial in the race to maintain in view of the opponents faced. Presentation.
Nancy, compulsory victory
To start September, Romain Revelli and his players will be entitled to a “game of fear”. At Tribut, on Saturday, two of the worst teams of the start of the season will face each other. Two of the three teams that still haven’t won but also two of the worst defenses. The eighteenth against the last and an insurance: woe to the vanquished. It’s very simple, against Nancy, the Maritimes will have no other choice than to win to finally breathe and especially to make a first small break on a direct competitor. So close against Rodez, they will have to do it against the Red Lantern.
USL Dunkirk is slowly approaching it
Dijon, a confirmation?
We take almost the same and start again a week later. In Dijon, at the time of this writing, the picture will be appreciably similar for USL Dunkirk. The only difference ? The classification, Dijon being penultimate and not red lantern. Otherwise, everything suggests that this trip to Côte-d’Or will be just as important as the reception of Nancy. If the Dijonnais have already changed coaches, it has not yet borne fruit with a setback in Pau, and the winner of this DFCO – USLD would take a breath of fresh air.
Toulouse, the shock
In this second half of September, it is quite simply the indisputable and undisputed leader who will go to Tribut. However, the Toulouse ogre does not necessarily frighten the Dunkirk people. Last year, they simply did not lose, offering the Violets scalp at the opening before concluding with a completely crazy draw (3-3) to ensure the maintenance. Still, the cards are quite different this season, and a potential victory could be like a small feat. Romain Revelli and his players were however able to shake up big teams and could strike hard against the current Premier of Ligue 2.

Pau, the trap match par excellence
Far from being the most flashy poster of this month of September, this trip to Pau has everything to be a real trap for the Dunkirk people. Seventh with ten points in six matches, the Palois are one of the excellent surprises of the start of the season. If they are not necessarily the most spectacular (note: six goals scored), they display real strength with the best defense in the championship. With three wins and a draw in six outings, Didier Tholot’s players will be difficult to move and will act as a real challenge for the Maritimes.
