Solid performance from Gardannais! In their first experience in U17 Nationaux, GBFC does better than defend themselves by securing a superb 5th place with 33 points after 22 matchdays, averaging 1.5 points per game.
This success was built on a solid defensive performance with only 22 goals conceded, better than the league leader Olympien (25)! A satisfying result for coach Bibi Abdelhalim, who knew that maintaining a strong defense was crucial. After a series of one defeat and one draw, Gardanne Biver seems to stumble, but nothing like a derby against Rove to reignite the fire.
With only 1 goal conceded per game, Gardannais have the best defense. Today at Savine Stadium, Louca Assad’s teammates must push forward, regain their chemistry, and clinch the victory in the second round of this derby after winning the first leg (0-1).
But beware, Rovenains are coming off a strong qualification into the Provence Cup final by beating Istres (1-0) and a impressive victory over Montpellier (4-2) in the league. As we know, a derby is not just played, it’s won…
