It is necessarily the hour when we look at the calendar of each team that is still struggling for something (a climb to be snatched, a descent to be avoided). And if we look at the bottom of the Ligue 2 standings, we say to ourselves that the sooner Niort has been looking for the last points he lacks, the faster we will breathe.
Because 14th place in the standings and the apparently comfortable mattress of seven units on barrage Guingamp should not be a mirage. Niort will end this 2020-2021 fiscal year by receiving the En Avant in mid-May. And as much to say that if the presence in L2 is not validated by then, it could be a meeting “To life, to death“with an outcome played on a cleaver match. The scenario that everyone wants to avoid in Deux-Sèvres.
Without Kemen, Yongwa, or Moutachy …
We are not there yet, but this projection alone should be enough to galvanize the men of Sébastien Desabre on the next deadlines. Receiving Troyes, traveling to Valenciennes or Amiens should not be fun. It will therefore be necessary to tick the right boxes. And do not miss the François-Coty stadium.
For this trip to the Isle of Beauty, the Chamois will have to compose without three key players: the attacking midfielder Olivier Kemen (suspended) and the two full-backs who started against Auxerre: Darlin Yongwa, bereaved, will remain with his family. Joris Moutachyhe joined the infirmary. He suffers from a small tear in his quadriceps.
Ajaccio-Niort, kick off this Saturday at 8 p.m., to experience from 7.45 p.m. on our antenna and francebleu.fr
