This Sunday at 3 PM at the Arboras Stadium, Stade Niçois returns, after several years of absence, to a championship that matches its ambitions, … while waiting for better.
As a newly promoted team, it will host a team (Vienne) that has already proven itself at this level and last season reached the quarter-finals.
The data’s reality is not as clear-cut. Vienne has ambitions, but Nice also has the means and still relies on the Scottish connection.
This first meeting is eagerly anticipated because a good start requires a victory that both teams are aiming for.
It’s also an opportunity to assess the competition and see where each stands in relation to its ambitions.
