“Thionville Lusitanos aim to secure National 3 promotion against Piennois Basin in top clash”

Forbach-Gandrange

Forbach wants to be forgiven in front of his supporters for the arrival of Gandrange (5 p.m.). “An important game. We need to confirm our victory at the APM to stay in a positive spiral and, at the same time, to erase our poor performance in the derby, ”said Tristan Wagner. “This match promises to be complicated, intense against Gandrangeois in the race for maintenance”.

The promoted precisely loses a lot of points at home and wants to do better away. “This trip is no picnic against an experienced and solid leading team,” warns Greg Imhoff. “We are wary but motivated. The infirmary is gradually emptying and if Gourichy and Belameiri are back, Maouche and Dikaba will skip this Saturday. We haven’t finished since the start of the season”.

Reipertswiller-Sarreguemines

Fallout of Villerupt-Thil (4-1) in an update of the calendar, Sarreguemines FC moved up in the standings (3^e ex-aequo) before traveling this Saturday to Reipertswiller, to aim for a fourth consecutive success. Roudy Keller evokes uncertainties for “Enès Sahin (shoulder), Stephenson Cessy (stomach and back), Adama M’Baye (legs)”. “We will go to Alsace to try to get second place at the end of the season”, warns the co-president. “It’s a pleasure to play there, against a good team with great infrastructure. »

Piennois Basin – Thionville

This is the poster of the day. Thionville Lusitanos invites himself, this Saturday at the Brabois stadium (6 p.m.), to validate his climb. Only one point is missing from the leader who is ahead… the Piennois Basin by 14 units! The squad will be almost complete. Only Bourgeois (injured) and Adebayo (suspended) will miss the call.

This shock does not present itself in the best light for an FCBP deprived of its goalkeeper Allan Luthardt (injured), of the striker Maazou (suspended), as of Matthieu Gaspar (recovery) and Stéphane Lekane (crossed ligaments). “We welcome the best team in the group with a lot of respect and humility, but we will approach this match with a lot of desire and ambition in the game”, defends Cédric Clerc.

Boulay – Amneville

If CA Boulay coach Frank Weber (9^e ) will have to do without two suspended players, he has the satisfaction of recovering three injuries: captain Nicolas Martin, Cédric Clam and Mohamed Diaby. “I hope that this meeting will reassure us after our defeat at Obermodern. A success over Amnéville, which precedes us by one position in the standings, would undoubtedly allow us to have one more foot in R1 next season. »

For his part, Amnéville coach Eric Skora explains: “At the sporting level, we are always invested in our maintenance mission. We try to keep the group motivated and focused. Facing an opponent, solid and really difficult to maneuver, we remain on the ambition to take three points. The Moselle coach has a group of 13 players. Carraciolo is unavailable as forwards Rodriguez and Erdogan are suspended.

Villerupt-Thil – Obermodern

For Villerupt-Thil, the meeting against Obermodern, this Sunday (3 p.m.), could be that of maintenance. But it will be necessary to return to victory after the slap in Sarreguemines (4-1). It promises to be difficult against an Alsatian team which will come to the Pays-Haut to pick up points for its rescue. The blues and yellows find, for the occasion, Isamene and Antunes but still have to do without the services of Weber, Mannarino and Rodrigues. “We are not going to rush their return,” explains the ESVT technician.

Epinal (2) – Sarrebourg

This is the other shock of the weekend, that of the last. While his maintenance is very compromised, Sarrebourg must imperatively win in the Vosges on Sunday, which would allow him to get ahead of Epinal and Vandoeuvre, who have already played (and lost) this day.
