With respectively two and four points behind their direct competitors, the residents of Charente see their task become even more complicated as they will have to face the top three teams in the current standings before the end of the season. In contrast, the men under President De Souza will play at home five times and only have to travel four times. The match against Feytiat presents an opportunity to reassure themselves against a more accessible opponent.
In the previous encounter on October 18th, the blue and white team was only defeated by one goal (1-0). Playing at home will be a crucial advantage that must not be wasted.
Périgny (4th) – Angoulême B (7th), Saturday, March 21st at 7:00 pm. After a week of rest, Périgny returns to the championship with a match against Angoulême’s reserve team, a familiar opponent for the club. This game brings back memories of the past season, where both teams dominated the championship: Angoulême finished 1st and Périgny 2nd. However, since the Charente reserve team cannot be promoted because the first team plays in National 2, Périgny hoped to compete in the promotion playoffs. This hope was dashed when the French Football Federation denied the club the opportunity to play that decisive match (Context: Historical background between the teams).
This season, the two teams find themselves with slightly different standings. Périgny is in 4th place with 28 points, while Angoulême is 7th with 25 points. Matches between these two teams are often closely contested: the previous encounter ended in a draw (1-1). For this upcoming clash, Périgny will look to confirm the progress seen throughout the season and aim to win to move closer to the top three, with the goal of continuing to progress collectively and aiming for the best possible position in the standings.
