Five days before the end of the tournament, double matches are increasing for teams…
Five days before the end of the tournament, there are more and more games being considered doubles for teams playing to advance or maintain. This will be the case on Saturday (8pm kick-off) between PAO and Portugal's Pardes, two teams with diametrically opposed dynamics.
While the Pau leader has not lost since the first leg (1-0), with eight wins and two draws since the end of November, the Pardesians have lost six times in the past eight days. “We will face the team with the best dynamic in the group. We won the first leg thanks to an individual achievement, in the heart of a prosperous period for us (only one defeat in eight matches, editor's note). We will try to be at the level to contain them and try to get at least one point.” ».
Five finals for the Portuguese
For the Lusitanians, the goal is to continue this excellent dynamic to achieve the climb at the end of the season. “Our fate is at our feet. We have five finals remaining, and it is up to us to do what is necessary to win them,” explains Jérôme Launay. After a complicated start to the tournament (five defeats in seven matches), his team was able to find the confidence needed to achieve good results.
“It wasn't really good, we were playing really well at the beginning of the season. We were simply punished for our defensive mistakes and lack of success in attack. Since then, this young (22-year-old) and united group has been able to absorb the tactical instructions, which we have been working on.” “Good in training.” Saturday’s victory over Pardez will be another step towards promotion. Before the final four finals, which should not be missed either.
