Advantage Bastia. In its duel with Sedan, the Corsican club has taken over in recent weeks at the head of Group A of National 2. Outstripped by the Boars in the first part of the season, due in particular to the start of the perfect exercise achieved by them (13 wins in 13 matches), the Islanders hung on to catch up with their rivals, then finally overtake them. After a solid victory on the side of Drancy last weekend (1-2), the Bastiais now count five lengths ahead of the Sedanais (still) held in check by the Lusitanos at the same time (0-0).
At the start of the 22nd day of the Championship and catch a glimpse of his straight line, Bastia intends to give a new twist this weekend. The Corsicans, unbeaten since October 19, actually stay on an impressive series of twelve games without defeat (10 wins, 2 draws) before going to Sainte-Geneviève in Furiani. The club of Essonne, fifth, welcomes Sporting with full confidence after its two beautiful victories in Belfort (1-3) and especially against … Sedan (3-1)! The formation of 91 is indeed the first of the season to have brought down the Ardennes. A nice helping hand offered to their opponent of the weekend.
Epinal is treading water, Sedan too
Now lagging behind having led the boat during the first months of the competition, Sedan is moving to Epinal, hero of the last Coupe de France. Unhappy quarter finalist against Saint-Etienne (1-2), the SAS, sixth four points from Sainte-Geneviève, is treading water in the Championship. The players of Xavier Collin remain effectively on a defeat on the side of Schiltigheim (1-0) and a draw against Haguenau (0-0). A great opportunity for the Vosges to relaunch the machine in front of one of the group’s leaders, and especially before going to the other Little Poucet de la Vieille Dame, Belfort.
Epinal could actually take advantage of the doubt surrounding the CSSA. Since December 14, and the day after his perfect series of 13 wins in 13 games, Sedan has won only one meeting: a success brought from Belfort (0-2) in early February. But apart from that, Sedan has mostly recorded seven draws and therefore its first defeat of the season against Sainte-Geneviève. Combined with a success in the Vosges, the Wild Boars would certainly not say no to the same service rendered a few weeks earlier by the people of Ile-de-France. Namely a victory on his land against Bastia!
