The Aiglonnes, who could not compete with Metz in J08, are looking to bounce back in front of their home crowd against a lower-ranked opponent.
Nice (5th) and Bourg de Péage (11th) will kick off the matches this Friday on the French Riviera. It’s an important game, as there are only two matchdays left before a long international break, which will be highlighted by Euro 2018, organized in France.
Bourg de Péage, having won their first match of the season last weekend against St Amand les Eaux, will seek to confirm their form on Nice’s court. Not an easy task for Camille Comte’s players, facing a Top 5 team that has had a strong start to the season and remains unbeaten at home.
While clubs participating in the European scene will play this ninth day in about ten days, after the international week, OGCN has the opportunity, in case of victory, to temporarily catch up with Besançon, who holds the third place, whereas Bourg de Péage could get closer to the Top 8.
Therefore, it’s an important duel for both teams, who are unlikely to give any gifts tomorrow night at the opening of the ninth day of the LFH.
