Marmara SpikeLeague (7th day)
It’s an appointment that can leave its mark. Not that on the 7th day of the championship, everything should already be decided. But this meeting at the STAB Vélodrome in Roubaix between Tourcoing and Montpellier on Saturday evening is of certain importance. The two strong leaders in the ranking remain in fact in a heavy fall, respectively against Paris and Narbonne and have every intention of quickly repairing the problem.
In his corner, Poitiers, who goes to Nice, can benefit from the fight, but the Niçois of Simon Hirsch, first firecracker in the MSL (19.1 pts per match), are customers too. We will also closely follow the TVB's trip to Cannes. With only one success in five matches, Tours is quite far from the mark for the moment, while the promoted Cannes, member of the Top 4, is on a very promising path.
Boosted by its success on the TLM grounds last week, Paris intends to capitalize this evening, in an advanced match, against Toulouse. Exempt last weekend, Chaumont wants to balance the scales but it welcomes an outgoing champion, Saint-Nazaire, very competitive since the start of the year. Finally, Le Plessis Robinson will try to pick up his first success of the season in Sète.
Saforelle Power 6 (7th day)
Before the start of hostilities in the Champions League next week, the Nantes Neptunes have an interesting trial run this Saturday, with the arrival of Vandoeuvre Nancy. Currently third in Saforelle Power 6, the Lorraines have clearly entered the big leagues for two seasons and fully intend to come and tickle the undefeated leader.
Behind, Mulhouse is on the lookout, just three lengths away, before receiving Cannes, for a timeless classic, even if the Cannes cathedral has lost a little of its former luster in recent years. Snagged by the VMA last weekend, Levallois Paris heads to Quimper to try not to let go of the lead car.
At the heart of the game, a nice duel is expected in Provence, where the Pays d'Aix Venelles challenges Terville Florange, in a revival match between two teams beaten during J6. Not in the best of form, Voléro Le Cannet hosts Béziers, with the hope of finally achieving a first success at home this season. But the mission will not be easy against the friends of the best scorer of SP 6, Karin Sunderlikova (22.6 pts per match).
The promoted Girondin, Bordeaux Mérignac, which has just taken eight points from the last four matches, intends to continue its momentum, but opposite, the Panthères d'Auvergne are coming full force and with three consecutive successes! Finally, Marcq-en-Barœul – France Avenir will take place on Tuesday evening.
LBM (4th day)
The two friends at the summits, Fréjus and Ajaccio, want to continue to watch each other out of the corner of their eyes. The Var are heading to Reims, at a standstill for two matches, while the Corsicans are waiting for the Pirates of Royan on the Isle of Beauty.
Deprived of a match last weekend and still without success this season, the SQV can launch nicely in the event of a big blow against Saint-Jean-d'Illac, the Saturday evening host. Cambrai also returned to the field after a lighting failure in Vanpoulle last Saturday, but the trip to Lorraine was not a pleasure trip, on the land of LBM's gunner, the Brazilian Luis Paolinetti. Finally, Martigues has the opportunity to stay within the calves of the leading trio, provided that it properly negotiates the France Avenir 2024 obstacle early in the evening on Saturday.
