The last match of the first round in the playdowns this Saturday at 8:45 PM features Celles-sur-Belle against Nice. The Celloises are obliged to win in front of their home crowd to avoid significantly reducing their chances in the race to stay in the league.
On the contrary, the Aiglonnes are seeking a victory that would almost guarantee their safety from their rivals’ return during the return matches.
Defeated at home by Fleury Loiret on the first day of the playdowns, Celles-sur-Belle lost valuable points in the fierce relegation battle in the LFH.
Following Nice’s victory against FLHB on the second day, HBCC finds itself four points behind the Azurรฉennes and must absolutely secure three points this weekend before having to travel twice during the return matches.
This is a crucial match for the promoted team, which will have to face a Nice opponent that could take a significant step towards safety with a victory on Saturday night.
It’s also a crucial match for Celles-sur-Belle, which can once again count on their loyal supporters to drive their players toward a victory that would completely reignite their chances in the relegation race.
