Heavily defeated in Massy last Sunday, Cognac hosts Stade Niçois, who are coming off an indisputable victory against Aubenas at Arboras.
It is the match of the last or second-to-last chance for Fabrice Landreau’s players, who will see their chances of staying in the National league diminish further in the event of a defeat.
This away game is an opportunity for Stade Niçois to boost their ranking and aim for, why not, a spot in the top four, which would mean playing the qualifying playoff match for promotion at home.
Normally, the victory should go to the visitors (13 wins, 8 losses), although the Charentais (5 wins, 17 losses) will certainly try to defy the odds.
