Saturday January 18, 2025 at 7 p.m., Avenir Foot Lozère faces Saint-Clément Montferrier away, as part of the 12th day of Regional 1.
After traveling to the Clermont-l'Hérault field last week, the Avenir Foot Lozère players return again to the Montpellier suburbs this evening. This time, it will be in Grabels, to challenge Saint-Clément Montferrier, as part of the 12e day of Regional 1.
At a time when the cold is leaving its mark on Lozère, going to play a little further down in the south looks like good news for the organizations. Even if the kick-off time, 7 p.m., should not be a sign of great heat either. Above all, we have to make a second consecutive trip and last week's defeat certainly did not help to gain confidence.
After a good first period, Nabil Zanina's players collapsed in the second act, conceding three goals to finally lose 3-0. For this match, the entire group should be available and the fourteen players called up will have to forget this defeat a little to move forward. We must not ignore the good series that the Lozériens had before this defeat, namely three consecutive victories. A single defeat should not make us forget the quality of the Mendois group.
Don't bow
Opposite, the Montferrier players remain in a draw, 0-0, at Vauvert. A game full of twists and turns which saw them play 11 against 9, for 30 minutes and they even missed a penalty. Perhaps the relegated from National 3 have left a little confidence there too…
Currently fourth with 18 points, the Mendois will have to at least not lose so as not to see their evening opponents overtake them in the standings. In fact, the Montferrier players are 7ebut just one unit behind. If the reserve team does not play in the championship, team 3 will be part of the Lozère Cup.
-Lozere Cup
Sunday, at 2:30 p.m., a very difficult trip to the Châteauneuf-de-Randon field awaits Daniel Teissier's players. For this quarter-final of the Lozère Cup, three divisions apart (D1 against D4) separate the two teams and it will be up to the mendois to enforce the hierarchy.
Another team entered in the Lozère Cup this weekend, the women's (D1). At the same time as the boys, they will make a short trip to the Rouffiac field, to challenge Valdonnez (D2) as part of the framing round.
For these last two matches, doubt still persists as to their continuation due to the weather. The grounds are closely monitored.
