The Girondins de Bordeaux's next opponent will be Stade Poitevin, the Club's first opponent at the Scapular this season (1-1). Remember, in the first leg, the N2 squad had just had the numbers to avoid the withdrawal, and it was Lassana Diabaté who snatched the draw in stoppage time.
Next weekend, it will be Poitiers' turn to host the Girondins de Bordeaux. It is possible that the roles will be reversed compared to the first match on a physical level, because the Poitevins have not played since Saturday December 20, with a victory at home against Le Poiré-sur-Vie (2-0). And for good reason, the last two meetings were postponed.
In The New Republic, the coach of Poitiers,
Luc Davaillonassured that this would not be a problem, since his team took care of it well.
“We have not remained inactive, however. We resumed training on January 2 before playing a friendly match in Orléans (National) on January 4 (6-1 defeat) which allowed us to give everyone playing time and see where we were while refining some things.”
Then, Luc Davaillon adds.
-“We did a lot of work to get back on track physically during this period. We also save time on recovering the injured. Victim of a calf injury during the January resumption, Jérémy Bekhechi will be in the recovery phase next week. The medical staff will decide if he can apply against Bordeaux knowing that we will not take any risks. Angel Marchegay has been suffering from pubalgia since the end of the year. He should resume at the beginning of February but will perhaps be able to play matches that he would not have been able to with these two postponements. »
