Valenciennes vs Niort Lineups and Team News
Valenciennes
Valenciennes suffered another painful and unexpected defeat last Monday when they lost 1-2 away against a ten-men Annecy team. Somehow Valenciennes failed to win this match despite being well on top late on. This third defeat in a row puts pressure on the players as their lead over the relegation zone now is only 2 points.
As a result, sacked coach Raubel and rookie coach Ahmed Kantari is now in charge. He can’t hide behind excuses as the squad is practically at full strength with only the rarely used anyway Zinga missing injured. In search of better defensive stability, Kantari could restore Debuchy to the starting lineup.
Niort
Niort remained in last place after losing 0-3 at home vs Sochaux last weekend. This was the sixth defeat in just the last 7 rounds and the survival hope is very, very slim now.
Niort have plenty of selection headaches too. The best centre-back Passi is out injured, while 7 others are deemed doubtful. Among them are the important left-back Vallier and centre-back Conte. On top of that, important attacking midfielder Zemzemi and the team’s top goalscorer Boutobba were not selected last weekend as they fast for Ramadan. As they continue to fast it is not certain if they will be used now too.
