Marmara SpikeLeague (10th day)
A third of the season has passed and we can no longer put this down to the element of surprise. AS Cannes is an unknown promotion in the MSL and the Dragons are clearly playing in the big leagues. With six successes for only two defeats, they have a strong record and are riding on four successes in a row before hosting this Friday evening the Alterna Stade Poitevin of the courted, Earvin Ngapeth.
Ahead, Tourcoing has been an impregnable bastion for three matches. With a powerful and composed game, the TLM visits the outgoing champion, Saint-Nazaire, who wants to get back up immediately, after a first “cotton” at home in the Champions League against Perugia on Tuesday evening. Chaumont also wants to bounce back at Palestra after having failed there on Wednesday in the LDC. It’s Paris that introduces itself. Vigilance, the Parisians are the only ones to have brought down the current leader, at home moreover, this season.
As we have said, on the Côte d'Azur, things will rock. In Nice we are also expecting a few waves, with the arrival of a TVB which has been struggling since the start of the year, before moving on to the Simon Hirsch machine. Toulouse, which has not won at home for a month, welcomes Sète in a duel which could allow the winner to switch to the right side of the ramp. Finally, the last two in the class, Narbonne and Le Plessis Robinson, cross paths on the road on Saturday evening.
Saforelle Power 6 (10th day)
It would have been a capital poster a few months ago and it could become one again very quickly if Voléro Le Cannet regains its true dimension. In difficulty since the start of the year, the Cannettanes host the undefeated leader of the division, Nantes, on Saturday evening for a match with a perfect rebound profile. But opposite, the Neptunes are floating without difficulty and have yet to give up anything this season.
Surprised at home by the VCMB last Saturday, Mulhouse wants to rediscover the joys of success at its Palace, on the occasion of the arrival of Chamalières, but be careful the Panthers remain in two big victorious battles in a row. The Mariannes of Levallois Paris will aim to achieve four wins in a row against TFOC on Saturday evening.
The Pays d'Aix Venelles is fully in the fight at the top, before going to the North, to Marcq-en-Barœul, for a duel of fine points of SP 6, between Alexandra Dascalu and Lena Kindermann. Béziers receives Quimper with the pressing need to stop the bad series of three consecutive losses. Bordeaux Mérignac is waiting for Vandoeuvre Nancy to try to point the muzzle in the first part of the table. Finally, France Avenir, still without a point this season, welcomes RC Cannes which only precedes it in the ranking.
LBM (7th day)
Ajaccio obviously does not intend to stop there. But the visit to Picardy land, to Saint-Quentin, does not really look touristy. After two initial defeats, the SQV has raised the bar and remains on three consecutive successes, series in progress.
Beaten in Corsica last week, Fréjus now has six points out of pocket, before going to Nancy. People from Lorraine who must assert themselves so as not to be left behind. For his part, Martigues is waiting for Royan. Pirates at the dock lately, weighed down by five defeats in a row.
For its part, the ASI receives France Avenir 2024 with the fairly clear idea of getting closer to the leading squadrons. Finally, Cambrai will try to erect the highest wall to limit the perforations of the division's gunner, the Rémois, Boudjemaa Ikken, who is still averaging 26.5 points since the start of the season!
