An advantage when you are at the top of the ranking!
Lorient (16th) receives Saint-Etienne (18th), Bordeaux (20th) receives Metz (19th) and the 17th Clermont goes to the leader Paris. Depending on the results of each other, the ranking after this weekend’s matches could bode well or badly for the rest of the championship. David Guion’s men will play knowingly since the 2 matches of our competitors in maintenance take place respectively on Friday and Saturday evening. Is this an advantage? Not easy for the coach of FC Bassin d’Arcachon, Marvin Esor
It’s often an advantage when you’re at the top of the ranking because inevitably, the others don’t have the right to miss each other. When you’re down there, whatever the scenario, it’s still complicated. It’s complicated because you have a certain pressure, you have no room for error. It’s an opportunity to be able to come back when, at the top of the ranking, you say it’s an opportunity to be able to make the difference, but in itself, you stay at the top of the ranking. Here we are down. They do not have the choice. It is a direct confrontation. You have to win it. It doesn’t matter what happens to others – Marvin Esor
Only three points difference between 16th and 19th.
The ideal scenario for Bordeaux would be a draw between Lorient and Saint-Etienne, a defeat for Clermont and an (imperative) victory for our navy and whites. With this scenario, there would be only three points from 16th to 19th between Lorient, Clermont, Saint-Etienne and Bordeaux. But in a nightmarish scenario, it is Bordeaux who would find themselves 5 points behind the play-off. So between advantage and disadvantage difficult to decide according to Yon Ecenarro of France Blue Gironde
You can see things in two ways. It’s a good thing to know because we can position ourselves, make projections at the level of the classification in the event of victory. It can lead to a double motivation if ever he was not motivated enough by the situation itself. But ultimately, we have no choice, we have to win, we are red lantern. It’s up to us to get as many points as possible and count on opposing missteps since we’re behind -Yon Ecenarro
Bordeaux also have what normally would be an undeniable advantage: playing at home. But in the current context, will the public respond? Will he be an unwavering support behind the navy and white even in the event of a bad start? We must hope that everyone gives the maximum of themselves to save the club: the supporters in the stands and the players on the field.
