“No questions to ask”

But watch out for this Dunkirk team as formidable as the rankings suggest. 15. Before this weekend’s matches, USLD has the second best record in the elite antechamber in the return phase: eight wins, four draws and three losses. Less good than Saint-Étienne, but better than Auxerre in 2024! This means that we must be doubly vigilant against the northerners, authors of a real robbery in the first stage and which has nevertheless slowed down a bit recently (a success during the last five meetings). But after their festival at Abbé-Deschamps against Laval ending a streak of two away teams, Icaunais has regained confidence and assurance, which must be confirmed again this Monday.

“We know what we need to achieve to be effective: whenever the collective is strong and wants to seek things out and move forward, our individualities emerge. There are no questions to ask.” declared Ajaist coach Christophe Pelissier, who is waiting “a different performance compared to what we did on the last two tours” lost in Quevilly-Rouen And Rodez. “There are four games to go, we know if we win three it’s over for us.” In this sense, it is much easier.
