After this truce, Mérignac-Arlac therefore travels to the Côte d’Azur to face Nice on Sunday, which is in 2nd place with a record of 9 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. A quality Riviera formation that relies on its fiery attack which totals 38 goals scored. It will therefore be necessary for the Arlacaises to be particularly wary of the Baldé, Magnier and Palacin trio.
However, Nice may have a flaw with a defense that concedes a lot of goals (24). Need we remind you that Mérignac-Arlac had stood up to the Aiglonnes in the first leg at the Cruchon stadium, only losing 3-2. Deprived of Lucile Fleury, injured, the coach of Mérignac-Arlac, Pascal Lamagnère knows that the task will not be easy but he remains hopeful: “the objective is to win a match and get out of this infernal spiral”.
