Defeated 5-4 last Saturday against the Boxers de Bordeaux, the Eagles have no choice left: they must win on Saturday (6:15 PM) if they want to earn the right to play a deciding match on Sunday (6:00 PM). Just one defeat would mean elimination!
After an unconvincing performance at Jean Bouin, the Eagles must recover in all areas of the game. “The match was decided by a few close calls, a post hit at the end, some goalie saves… We especially lacked realism,” analyzes Nice manager Alexandre Duyck.
Nonetheless, Stan Sutor and his staff still believe: “Despite the big gifts we gave them in our defensive zone, they only won 5-4. We need to tighten up the defense but we can still go and grab a win there.”
Now, the Boxers are clear favorites, so the Eagles might as well go on the offensive to avoid trailing behind like in the first match. And hopefully, they can secure both victories! Issa Nissa!
