This Tuesday, April 23 in the evening, the Ruthenian football club is celebrating its 95th anniversary with the arrival of Paris FC at the Paul-Lignon stadium. A highly symbolic visit since Aveyronnais and Ile-de-France residents are in a direct fight to obtain a qualifying place for the accession play-offs to Ligue 1.
Two points separate the two opponents in the standings with an advantage in favor of the visitors who are currently riding a positive series of 11 games without defeat. Better still, Paris FC is by far the fittest team in the Top 5.
