5th in the standings, Stade Niçois travels this afternoon to Chateaurenard for the 15th day of Fédérale 1 for a high-stakes match in the race for promotion to ProD2.
It is indeed an important match in the race for qualification for the in-form Azureans, who are on a streak of 6 consecutive victories.
Having won by a large margin in the first leg, the Niçois will be eager to claim another away victory to catch up with Bourgoin and Narbonne, who are currently 2nd in the standings.
However, they must be cautious because Chateaurenard will be formidable in front of their home crowd, and a victory could further distance them from relegation. With a temporary 8-point lead over Mazamet, the first team in the relegation zone, a victory would provide the Bucco-Rhodaniens with perhaps a definitive breather to remain in Fédérale 1 next season.
Despite this, the visitors will be the favorites and can rely on their current confidence. Nevertheless, Stade will have to put on a big performance and stay serious to secure another victory and achieve a significant boost in the standings.
Kick-off at 3:00 PM.
