Having clearly been defeated in the first round against Metz (21-33), the Nice players travel to Lorraine for the return leg of the final.
The Metz team welcomes the Nice team this Sunday in their Arena at 5 PM, and they are only sixty minutes away from a fourth consecutive French championship title, the 23rd in their history.
Although their chances of turning things around in the return leg are slim, the Eaglets, who have nothing left to lose, will want to end a season that, beyond the result of this final, remains exceptional for them on a high note.
A major challenge for Marjan Kolev’s players, against a Metz team that has only lost one match this season in their arena.
An absence for each team has been announced: Manon Houette (Metz) and Carmen Martin (Nice) are not expected to be recovered in time for this playoff final return leg.
