Marmara SpikeLeague (8th day)
There is rebellion in the air this weekend in Marmara SpikeLigue. As we reach the third of the regular season, it is a question of not becoming uncomfortable, even if, as we know, the season does not threaten anyone since no descent will sanction the 2024-2025 financial year. . Nevertheless, for the TVB this penultimate place in the ranking is a bit of a stain on the landscape of Touraine volleyball and it would be good to achieve a second championship success in front of Narbonne on Saturday evening.
Much higher in the ranking, the leader Tourcoing and its Argentinian phalanx are obviously in a completely different dynamic, before going to Toulouse. On the other hand, Montpellier is at a standstill, stopped by two consecutive losses without registering a single set. Sète, in fact, will be his opponent on Friday evening in Hérault! Cannes exempted from play this weekend, Nice, carried by the best scorer in the League, Simon Hirsch, has the opportunity to climb on the plot, but it will be necessary to get rid of the outgoing champion on its land, Saint-Nazaire. An SNVBA which has been struggling since the start of the year before making its big debut in the Champions League next week.
In Poitiers, the meeting between Alterna Stade Poitevin and Paris Volley is worth its weight of confidence. Both teams lost last weekend and want to recover. Finally, Le Plessis-Robinson is challenging Chaumont on Saturday evening to try to score a first success this season.
Saforelle Power 6 (8th day)
Nantes and Levallois Paris are now in the mix. The “LDC” is launched and the matches will come one after another at high speed. After the combined inaugural failure for the two French representatives, it is a question of restoring order in SP 6. The Neptunes, undefeated in the championship, are aiming for the eight pass in Béziers, while the Mariannes face a serious obstacle, in this case the Pays d'Aix Venelles which precedes them in the ranking.
In his corner, Mulhouse is not making any “boxes”, but his game is going well and the offensive weapons are multiple. Be careful though, the promoted Girondist who is waiting for the VMA on Saturday evening is quite tough and Eva Svobodova is capable of big hits. Beaten in Nantes last week, Vandoeuvre Nancy welcomes another big name, Le Cannet, who seems to have started and is compiling two successes in a row, series in progress.
Ditto for Marcq-en-Barœul, camped on two victories, before venturing into the territory of the Panthères de Chamalières on Saturday evening. With only three points taken in its last four matches, TFOC wants to win the rebound battle against RC Cannes. Finally, France Avenir 2024 will try to win its first victory in front of Quimper.
LBM (5th day)
The Ajaccian leader is now the last invincible in the LBM class and he intends to remain so in the North, where he is visiting Cambrai. Especially since behind, we will fight eye to eye since Fréjus, his runner-up, receives the third of the group, Martigues.
Big shock also in Lorraine, where Nancy and her finely honed Brazilian point guard, Luis Paolinetti, are watching for the arrival of Saint-Jean-d'Illac. Girondins who lost twice during their first two outings outside their base. Another landing to watch closely, that of the Reims ship on the Atlantic! Reims arrives at the Pirates de Royan, flanked by the best LBM scorer, Boudjemaa Ikken (24.5 pts per match). Finally, after opening the counters last weekend in front of the ASI, Saint-Quentin wants to launch the machine at full speed against the France Avenir 2024 kids on Saturday afternoon.
