Tonight at 8 p.m., Nice Volley Ball (6th) welcomes Nancy (8th) as part of the 17th day of Ligue B.
The Eagles are struggling and still waiting for a breakthrough. After five consecutive defeats, the players of Mladen Kasic welcome Nancy in a very tense atmosphere. The Azur club aims to return to Ligue A this season, after their relegation to Ligue B last season.
But to regain the elite, Nice will have to overcome Nancy, 8th in the standings, who is coming off an encouraging defeat against Avignon (3-2) and a fine victory (3-0) against St Quentin on the last matchday.
Lionel Colaras on the Watch
The number one threat from Nancy will certainly be Lionel Colaras. The French attacker will be the player for the Eagles to watch. The 28-year-old right-hander is simply the top scorer of the Ligue B championship with 312 points scored. Far ahead of Alès’s Brazilian, Silva De Freitas, who is second with 281 points. But more than the Nancy team, it’s the confidence and quality of play that the Nice team needs to regain to end their streak of five consecutive defeats. In case of a heavy defeat, Nice would be overtaken by their opponent of the day.
Kicking off at 8 p.m. at the Salle Palmeira in Nice.
