The Berri footballers have not won away from home since November 5 and a 2-0 success on the lawn of Red Star! They therefore remain on three defeats in a row away from their bases: at Bastia-Borgo (2-0), Le Mans (1-0) and St Brieuc last Friday (2-0). There is therefore a real blockage which risks being expensive at the end of the season. The first two in the general classification go directly to Ligue 2 and the third plays the play-offs in a round-trip match against the 18th in Ligue 2.
“We are […] second at home but thirteenth away” Mathieu Chabert, coach Castelroussin
In the name of mathematics, nothing is final yet. It’s a no-brainer but the home and away fixture rankings are very clear. “We are second at home but thirteenth away. So we know that we have to do much better to rectify this situation outside of Gaston-Petit. So now, we have always had a great capacity to react after disappointments. This ability to react perfectly is necessary. We have to have him on the outside since it’s our second trip in a row. As a result, this would finally allow us to stop this negative dynamic“, explains Mathieu Chabert, the Castelroussin coach.
Despite the smallest budget in the championship, which does not exceed one million euros, Sète has managed a series of four successes in a row against Boulogne, Chambly, Red-Star and Orléans. And the Héraultais even won at Villefranche-Beaujolais 2-0 on January 28. The Berri is once again warned: a seventh defeat in total and a sixth away could spell the end of the ambitions proclaimed at the start of the season. With or without the way, the Berri must take three points from Sète.
