Third in the standings, and recent winners of Nice on their ice, the Champonix Pioneers are heading to the Atlantic this Tuesday (8:30 p.m.) to reach the Barre ice rink in Anglet. A confrontation with Hormadi, current bottom of the championship which should not be taken lightly.
Indeed, despite their ranking, the Anglet players have come close to good results several times, and an offensive capable of finding the net, as shown by their last two meetings and 6 goals against Rouen before scoring 5 times in Amiens .
Two defeats, but real offensive qualities which will require concentration and sacrifice from the Chamonix back lines who were able to be intractable during their last performance. English who also have two players in the top 10 in League Magnus points, with Barver and Amäläinen tied for 5th place. Numerical inferiority is one of Anglet’s weak points, while Chamonix took points thanks to the last good box-play performances. No better for the numerical superiority on the Hormadi side, which is at the bottom of the table. A defense which therefore seems indeed fragile.
The Chamonix offensive has strengths on all lines, and can score at any time as long as it takes care of the collective game and does not fall back into the inaccuracies seen in particular against Nice. Persson, Masson, and Chabot are productive and dangerous currently, and Lopachuk has finally unlocked his counter, which he fully deserves given his involvement.
In front of the net, Aubrun seems to take on a more important dimension from match to match and occupies a good 4th place in the ranking of the best goalkeepers, a further asset for the Chamoniards, who, if they win this confrontation, can solidify their 3rd place before another major challenge against Rouen, still on the road, two days later.
