Whether the notion of a derby in the Centre-Val de Loire Region exists or not, the number one objective of Berrichonne footballers is elsewhere. They want to take the famous three points of victory on the lawn of the La Source stadium and continue to advance as they have been doing so well for two games. They remain in fact on two successes in a row: 2 to 0 on the lawn of Chambly and 4 to 2 at home against Red Star. And as the Bretons of Concarneau drew Monday evening 2 everywhere on the lawn of Sedan, La Berri is only three small points from third! But no question of thinking too much about it for Mathieu Chabert “This championship will be played until the last day and our objective is only D+7 and therefore to take three points from Orléans. We projected ourselves too much. We’ve speculated too much about the results of the uphill contenders. It hurt us so don’t count on us to do it anymore.” repeats the Castelroussin technician.
Orleans has only one defeat in the last 14 games
Certainly the footballers of Berri (6th) with 48 points came back to three points from third Concarneau but Villefranche-Beaujolais is fifth with 50 points and Bourg-en-Bresse is fourth with also 50 points. So the Berri is still dependent on the results of these teams placed in front of it in the event of new missteps. So you might as well focus only on these Orléanais who are panicking the counters in this second part of the championship. They only have one defeat in the last 14 days: “We are going to Orleans for the pass of three straight wins but it will not be easy : first Laval second Orleans on these return phases. It means what it means. If Orléans hadn’t partly missed its start to the season, it would be well in the race for the climb.” analyzes Mathieu Chabert. Five days before the end of the championship, the Berri still has a chance to reach league 2. If it wins in Orleans, it will have to wait until Monday evening 8:45 p.m. to find out if the Bretons of Concarneau are ejected from the podium or not.The Finisterians still third receive, in the match at the top of this 30th day, the leader, Laval!
Orleans will also do everything to take revenge for the first leg. On November 19; the Berri led 1 to 0 at halftime had completely reversed the steam to finally win 4 to 1!
