Ligue 1 (Matchday 37), Sunday (9 p.m.)
Aline Riera (Canal + consultant): “Bordeaux is just a disaster! “
“Nobody gave off a lot of serenity at the end of the season. Those who are used to being encouraged very strongly like Brest have struggled to be consistent. Brest is the team that, among those in difficulty, offers the most play. There is sometimes excitement, they take goals, but because they are players and do not know how to do otherwise. But I think they are capable of going to beat Montpellier. Bordeaux, it’s just the cataclysm! They take a lot of goals, offer nothing in the game. With King Street dropping them, I don’t feel them. They are the ones I see the most in danger. This team is not formatted to play maintenance. Strasbourg, we weren’t expecting them there, but they missed out on the wrong matches, especially against direct competitors for maintenance. Their match against Lorient can be a final. The people of Lorient are preparing in serenity. And that day, maybe they will be the best armed. Fighting is rooted in their identity. As for Nantes, they were at the bottom of the hole and (Antoine) Kombouaré emerged from the hat players, like Louza, Coulibaly and Blas. They are play-offs but they are the ones who have the best calendar (Dijon and Montpellier). Finally, Nîmes missed the boat against Reims (2-2). The serenity is no longer there. I’m afraid these Nîmes will go straight there! “
His prognosis
“Nîmes relegated and I put a small play on Bordeaux barrage. I’m going to save the Bretons because it’s my other home (she played at Stade Briochin, editor’s note) ”.
Jean-Luc Arribart (Canal + consultant): “Lorient has a good opportunity to get out of it against Metz”
“Despite its victory in Metz (day 36), Nîmes remains the lowest ranked team. She plays with energy, it wears out physically and nervously. I’m afraid the last two steps are complicated. Brest has 40 points, with a good goal difference. I don’t see the other four teams going past him. There will inevitably be one who negotiates badly in his last two games. Nantes has the best momentum and benefits from the most lenient calendar. Lorient has a good opportunity to get away with a Metz probably a little freewheeling. Lorient is, for me, much more comfortable than Strasbourg or Bordeaux. Strasbourg must go to Nice, which is capable of both the best and the worst. Bordeaux is, in my opinion, the team most in danger, with the departure of the heavy shareholder and a difficult schedule. And, despite the reaction against Rennes, it is collapsing sportingly ”.
His prognosis
“I see Nîmes 19th and Bordeaux 18th. But in principle, it always takes place the opposite of my predictions. In fact, in the last few days, very illogical things are often happening. So Bordeaux should be okay (laughs) …
Serge Le Dizet (assistant coach of Sco d’Angers): “More worried for Brest than for Nantes”
“There is a question of dynamics and timing. I am more worried for Brest than for Nantes, which is nevertheless in a worse position. The Brestois are perhaps less ready than Lorient to play the maintenance during the last two days. It will depend on their ability to transform into a team capable of saving their own skin, of defending well. But carried by the praise, they may have forgotten some fundamentals to win games. The Bordelais are in an unfavorable context, in big difficulties on the ground and outside. And from what we know, there is not a big atmosphere inside the group and it is inevitably detrimental. Strasbourg is, him, in the hard, but has arguments to get out of it, in particular on the athletic level. In Lorient, the most important match is Metz, but at home, they are confident and have the ability to score. On the other hand, if they do not win against Metz, it will be the game of all dangers in Strasbourg. Nantes will come out of this because they are in a positive spiral and have a good schedule. They score goals, have quality forwards. Nîmes achieved a mini-feat in Metz but by definition, you don’t do the exploits every weekend. They also have a difficult schedule, with Lyon then Rennes, which is not a gift at the moment ”.
His prognosis
“I can’t see Nîmes avoiding 19th place. For the 18th, Brest must be careful with regard to its calendar and its dynamics, but I hope that it will come out of it because I like Dall’Oglio and Lorenzi ”.
