Gap wants to go on, a shock of extremes for Briançon, Chamonix wants to make a big blow, Grenoble at rest

Rouen (1st) – Bordeaux (7th): the champion finds his home

Sacred champions of France in Gap a few days ago, the Rouen Dragons welcome Bordeaux, one of the only two teams to have beaten them this season in the league. It was last January 30 on the ice of Mériadeck (3-2 ap). Since then, the Boxers have played 3 matches resulting in 2 victories, and remain on a narrow success against Chamonix (3-2). For their part, the Rouennais suffered Saturday night against Gapençais their second setback of the season, but left the Hautes-Alpes with the title of champions of France. The whole challenge for Fabrice Lhenry’s players will therefore be to approach this meeting with an intact motivation and a commitment identical to the first 18 matches of their season.

The prospect of taking revenge on Bordeaux, and continuing to refuel at home (21 points taken out of 21 possible so far), should allow the Dragons to get by.

Cergy-Pontoise (4th) – Nice (6th): the promoted wants to do it again

Note that Nice will have 3 matches in 4 days with 2 new trips to Amiens and Angers.

To do this, they no longer have many rights to make mistakes and are entering a decisive weekend in the South West. First in Anglet this Friday, which has won only twice in its last 10 outings, and which is not yet safe from the red lantern. But faced with irresistible Gapençais for 4 matches (21 goals scored) and who have just offered Rouen, the Hormadi, which has the least airtight defense in France (83 goals conceded), could again suffer.

Angers (2nd) – Chamonix (10th): Angers wants to make it last

This is the team in form at the end of the season: with nine straight victories, the Dukes of Angers prove that their XXL recruitment at the start of the season was the right one. And if the Angevins will have to be content once again with a place of honor, we can hardly see them spoiling this home meeting against the Pioneers in great difficulty for 4 matches. A very clear advantage to Angevins therefore, assured of finishing vice-champions of France and whose only goal will be to bring their series to 10 victories in a row. What only Rouen has already done this season (11).
