Arbitrator: Gabriel.
CINEY: wounded: Claude, Maillard ; uncertain: Fastrez.
MONCEAU: Bil (Achilles tendon) trained this week. Sba (ankle) and Kaya (thigh) are back but remain doubtful.
After its defeat in the opening match on the Rebecq ground, Ciney launches its season at home with the reception of Monceau.It is clear that after last week’s game, we cannot afford not to take points this weekend. Especially since we are playing at home.warns Michaël Desille who remains optimistic despite the unfavorable result. Not everything was to be thrown away during this meeting. And I think that with a little more success in the concretization and the finishing, that we could have even left with a point. This Saturday evening, we will have to be more concrete in front of the goal and be careful not to expose ourselves to the quick counters of this Monceau team..”
For this match, the coach of the Blues will be able to count on his two new recruits, Park Jaehyeok and Bryan Yoka W’Olinga, both qualified.I will have to make choices this weekend.”
For the Moncellois, the victory against Perwez left a mixed impression. “We had a good first half before losing the thread of the match, regrets Yohan Prévot, the RAS goalkeeper. We are a young team. We have to learn to manage the weaker moments of a match.” This would be useful against vengeful Cinacians. “I don’t know our future opponent well, who should be of a different calibre than Perwez. But we have qualities and, if we play at our level, we should be able to impose ourselves. We are still under construction. We must focus on our game rather than on the opponent.”
Pont-à-Celles – Beloeil (s. 7:30 p.m.)
PÀC/BUZET: Hemberg (knee) is injured. Bailly returns from suspension.
The draw against Arquet at the start of the championship allowed Pont-à-Cellois to improve their morale. “We could even have won, says Victor Brismez, the Pac striker. But the draw is logical. It’s a good point because there won’t be many teams that will win there.”
They will have to be as solid against a Belœil team that the Pacmen know from P1 last season. “We have information about Beloeil. Our coach went to watch them on Wednesday. They were playing against Brussels. We know that they are very active on the flanks and that there are some players with interesting sizes in their core. But we have the qualities to impose ourselves. For our return to D3 and our first home league match, we must aim for three points.” The entire squad is called up for this Saturday. The coach will make his selection at the last minute.
