Defeated on the previous matchday of the championship, Montpellier for the first time this season in Chaumont (2/3), and Nice at home against Ajaccio (2/3), both teams will attempt to get back on track this Friday as part of the 5th matchday of the AM League.
Against Nice, Montpellier, who are still the leaders, will try to regain their effectiveness at the net and their strong defense.
The man in form at the moment, Jean PATRY, seems more motivated than ever to rediscover his sensations and contribute as much as possible to the team.
For this necessarily special encounter following the three intense battles from last season’s Play-off quarter-finals, Nice (7th) will arrive this season with some doubts and uncertainties.
Authors of a fluctuating start to the championship (2 wins and 2 losses), the Azuréens, semi-finalists of the last campaign, are still searching for their rhythm with the newcomers, such as the powerful Ukrainian attacker, Vasyl Tupchii.
The arrival of Yoann JAUMEL, a temporary replacement last autumn, could nonetheless reignite the flame and truly unite this group with its strong potential.
