Duel of poorly classified, duel of teams in the hard, for the last match of the first leg, between the DFCO (16th) and AS Nancy (20th), Tuesday December 21, 2021 at the Stade Marcel-Picot. Since its thunderous success in the derby against the AJA, Dijon is on the downward slope and remains on three games without a win (Guingamp, Niort and Cannes in the Coupe de France). It is therefore urgent to raise the head for the players of a Patrice Garande “annoyed”who regretted after the elimination “a lack of everything, character, personality, everything … “.
What news of the wounded?
Absent against Cannes: Benzia (crutch), Rocchia (sick) are not fit and will miss the trip to Nancy. Good news, however, for Valentin Jacob, “in great shape” according to his coach, and who will be back.
Released after a shock in Cannes, defender Bruno Ecuele-Manga will not be traveling either – under the concussion protocol.
Nancy, struggling in the league, has recovered in the Cup
If the DFCO is for the moment far from the expected objectives, what to say about Nancy? Red Lantern of the League, the Nancéens (worst attack and worst defense in Ligue 2) total only two victories in the first 18 games – against Niort and Guingamp. ASNL has also 10 defeats this season … like the DFCO.
However, while the DFCO was eliminated on the lawn of Cannes amateurs, ASNL qualified against Troyes, a Ligue 1 team (1-1 in the game, victory on penalties).
