After a defeat in Massy that temporarily moved them away from the podium, Stade Niçois must regroup this Sunday for an important commitment, especially since Aubenas is a tough opponent at home.
The Niçois have clearly shown their ambitions with top-tier recruitment aimed at stepping up into the Pro D2. This high goal is struggling to materialize on the field a third of the way through the 2021/2022 season: the Niçois are in eighth place, fourteen points behind the leader, Valence/Romans.
Stade Niçois is a wounded beast that will do everything to save itself and secure a spot among the six teams eligible for the final phase of accession.
While it is true that building a team requires time, patience, and preparation, the match against Aubenas is an opportunity to turn words into actions.
