For the second day of the return leg in Pool 2 of the Fรฉdรฉrale 1 championship, RC Nice will host La Seyne at the Arboras stadium at 6 pm.
Everyone who has played on the fields of France and Navarre knows very well that a derby is not like any other match and that there is only one imperative: Win.
It is with this mindset that the two teams from Nice and La Seyne will face each other for a heated Riviera derby: the locals still in search of an achievement that has been long awaited despite their undeniable potential and declared ambitions and tough rivals from Var pursuing a qualification that seems within reach for them this year.
Some former players will also spice up their game, just to make their former club regret not having kept them.
The prediction, despite the standings suggesting otherwise due to the gap between the two teams, favors La Seyne, for a high-stakes match on the Nice side.
The locals will be eager to take revenge for their defeat in the first leg and will want to follow through with the promising playing intentions that their coach Jean Anturville promotes week after week.
This leads to the belief that, despite the decision to play in the late afternoon when the sun sets and Arboras turns into a fridge, the temperature, at least on the pitch, will be among the hottest.
A word to the wise!
