The challenge :
To date, the Top 5 is far from being detached from the other teams which are not in this zone. For Le Havre, sixth, it’s a godsend, especially considering the previous results. A victory in five games is far too little to be able to hope to be in these five places. However, as the top teams are not doing much better (Ajaccio, Auxerre), Ciel and Marine are still very close to fifth place, synonymous with play-offs at the end of the season. Possessing the second best defense in the championship, with sixteen pawns conceded, the HAC showed certain shortcomings to open the scoring: the players of Paul LeGuen have only found the fault twice over the previous five days. Above all, the club has not won on its land for five games, in other words since last October and a short success obtained against Pau (1-0). Faced with a team in search of success on the outside, we will have to be careful not to be surprised.
Recently released from a very beautiful epic in the Coupe de France, Bastia must quickly put their feet back on the ground and focus on the club’s objective, namely staying in Ligue 2. three points separate the 17th and 19th in the championship. Irreproachable at home, the Corsicans are however less brilliant when it comes to leaving Furiani and the Island of Beauty. Only seven points taken away, the last victory dating back to November 6 and a success against Guingamp (2-3). With the awakening of certain clubs in the red zone, the team of Regis Brouard will have a hard time dealing with a team that is difficult to handle.
