The derby between Us Gorée and Jaraaf will be the duel at the top of the 9th day which will be played this weekend. Leader of the championship with 17 points, the island club will try to consolidate its position. It will be against the “Green and Whites”, keen to catch up with the leading pack after the slowdown suffered both in the championship and in the African competition.
The Dakar classic between US Gorée and Jaraaf will be the star of the 9th day of Ligue 1 which opens this Saturday with four matches. Host of this duel, the island club with 17 points, will seek on Monday at the end of the day, to consolidate its first place which it has kept for 3 days. It will be against a “Vert Blanc” team that has slowed down both during the previous two days but also in the Champions League with a defeat and two draws.
The “Green and White” (4th, 12 pts) will therefore undoubtedly be determined to gain valuable points allowing them to reposition themselves on the podium. Even if, like other Ligue 1 teams, Malick Daff's team was stripped of its strike force with the absences of its striker Almamy Mateuw Fall, Moctar Koita, Ababacar Sarr and Makha Ba, who were made available to the local national team for the needs of the Senegal-Liberia match this Sunday.
Dolphins of the Goreans, the Rufisquois of Teungueth FC (2nd, 13 pts) travel the next day, Sunday to the Alassane Djigo stadium where they will face As Pikine. A Pikine team (14th, 7 pts) which, in front of its home crowd, will have a good opportunity to free itself from its position as the first relegated team.
Author of a start to the season, the promoted Wallydaan de Thiès (3rd, 13 pts) will also want to stay the course and his good performance against Guédiawaye FC (8th, 10 pts) which he will welcome at the Lat Dior stadium. The Thiessois stadium will be the next day, Sunday, the scene of the academicians' duel between Génération Foot (12th, 7 pts) and Dakar Sacré-Cœur (5th, 12 points). After the precious success obtained on the road against Linguère de Saint-Louis, Sonacos de Diourbel (6th, 12 points) will be keen to continue on their lawn at the Ely Manel Fall stadium where they will welcome the promoted Rufisquois d'AJEL ( 9th; 9 points).
At the Ngor municipal stadium, US Ouakam (10th, 9 pts) hosts this Sunday, the promoted Oslo FA from Grand Yoff (11th, 8 pts). Confined in its position of first relegation, the Linguère de Saint-Louis (15th, 5 pts), will work to revive itself by visiting the promoted ASC HLM (7th, 11 pts). Casa Sport, which is flirting with the relegation zone, (13th, 7 pts) will for its part make the trip to the Massène Sène stadium where it will face Jamono Fatick, bottom red, this Saturday (16th, 4 pts)
