After a convincing performance against Aubagne last weekend, Stade Niçois will once again play at home this Sunday against Monteux, currently 10th in the pool.
The Niçois team will once again have to cope without many players for this match; Canizares, Viant, Laadila, Sonetti, Nègre, Maquaire, Fritz, Malavard, Sorreaux, and Benstaali are injured, and Karp will be absent.
Nevertheless, the team can rely on what has been its strength since the beginning of the season: its defensive solidarity!
However, to hope to climb towards the top of the standings, they will need to once again show offensive discipline and try to secure an offensive bonus against the bottom team of the pool, which recently suffered a home defeat against Beaurepaire.
Two bonus victories would even be the cherry on top before starting a mini-break, with the next game on November 16th being a derby against CARF, who will have a tough away game this Sunday against the co-leader with Grasse, Beaurepaire.
