One wants to keep his place and ensure his rise, the other seeks to escape the relegation zone. The southern derby will be played this Friday, May 3 at the Turcan stadium.
“Finishing the job is harder”, Greg Poirier, the FCM coach, knows it: the final straight is not a long, quiet river. After the tremendous epic last year, the Sang et Or saw their rise to Ligue 2 slip away from them. This year again, the antechamber of Ligue 1 extends its arms to the Venice of Provence.
Three days before the end of the championship, Martigues is second in the National after its good operation against Niort on April 26. With just one small point behind, the Chamois are hot on Martigues’ heels and will fight to the end to try to return to Ligue 2.
On the other side of the ranking, in the heart of the red zone, Marignane has not said his last word. Châteauroux, first non-relegation, has 36 points, MGCB has 34. Everything is therefore still possible for the Marignan. Maintain or climb, the two National teams are playing big in this southern derby. Kick-off 9 p.m. at the François Turcan stadium.
