The Nice hockey players host the Lynx from Valence on Saturday 21st, at Jean Bouin. A 19th day of the French Division 1 championship that feels like a derby. But the Eagles want to maintain their impressive winning streak and keep their 2nd place in the standings.
The derby is announced: Valence is coming! And even though the Lynx are at the bottom of the standings, they remain dangerous. The Drôme team wants to salvage their season and score the 2 points for the win. Mulhouse found that out last Saturday: the Valence team scored the opening goal just 48 seconds into the game! The hockey players from Valence will be “starving for victory” with every puck.
95% Home Wins
However, the Eagles remain confident. They have been undefeated since last December 3rd (winning 3 – 2 at Cergy). On Saturday, they want to solidify their second place in the standings, right behind Mulhouse. The Azur team will also aim to maintain their 95% home win record. To do so, they will need to ensure a solid defense and be sharp in attack, against Lynx ready to do anything to snatch the 2 points at stake.
