The Niorts ranked 14th in the Ligue 2 ranking, with 19 points accumulated in 15 championship games. The hosts are on a downhill slope with only one point in the last 3 stages. Recently, Niort has suffered a failure on the Lens field with a score of 3-1. Frenchman R. Grange is the team’s top scorer in the championship, with 4 goals scored so far. Niort has not lost an official home match since September.

On the other hand, Chateauroux is on the 9th position of the second league in France, the team having 23 points obtained after 15 stages. Guests are in a constant ascension. After the success of the French Cup with Avoine (score 3-2), they managed to defeat Tours in the championship with a score of 1-0. African S. Sarr is the best scorer in the championship, with 4 goals scored in 15 games. Chateauroux managed to get the last time on this field in a championship match in October 2001.

Guests are going through a much better time, so the morale is on their side. I’m expecting a whole game dominated by them.
