Let’s go to Geoffroy-Guichard

The imbroglio around the postponement of the match
After the postponement of the match this Saturday evening, the VAR could never have worked this afternoon. In a press release Canal + had indeed questioned the “unilateral” decision of the LFP to postpone the match to 3 p.m. today and had posed the threat of the non-presence of video assistance. But Clément Turpin will finally be accompanied by these video accessors this Sunday. On the other hand, there will be six cameras to film the match against twelve if the meeting had taken place this Saturday.
ASSE is confident at home
After a nightmarish first part of the season, ASSE is looking to maintain it. And since the arrival of Pascal Dupraz, the mission which seemed almost impossible has become more than possible. For 4 meetings at Geoffroy-Guichard, the Greens are undefeated.
