Le Parisien invites you to take a tour of the football weekend program in Île-de-France. A month and a half before the verdicts, there will still be issues at all levels. It all starts this Friday evening with Versailles, which will have no room for error against Villefranche in National. In National 2, Racing and FC 93 Bobigny must not lose points at home to stay in contact with the leaders. In National 3, the Aubervilliers leader, visiting Drancy, is under threat from Vitry and Linas-Montlhéry in the event of a misstep. Among the girls, the 3rd place of Paris FC, traveling to Lyon, is threatened. Finally, in U19, Montfermeil must take points to stay 2nd, a qualifying place for the playoffs.
The weekend poster: Bobigny, a series to continue against Belfort
Despite the three points withdrawn by the DNCG in January and the heavy suspension of its coach, Christophe Taine (4 months including 2 suspended), FC Bobigny 93 continues to race at the top of the table of group B of National 2. Third two points from Fleury (1st) and one from Épinal (2nd), Bobigny can still believe in the climb. Before next week’s shock in Fleury, which could be decisive, the Taine players, undefeated for 4 games (3 wins, 1 draw) receive Belfort this Saturday (6 p.m., Auguste-Delaune stadium) to get even closer. Bobigny will be able to rely on the efficiency of Farid Beziouen, 19 goals since the start of the season.
Player to watch: Abdelrafik Gérard (CFF Racing)
Officially arriving in the January transfer window at Racing CFF, where he had already trained for several weeks, Abdelrafik Gérard made his debut 15 days ago in Rennes (1-1) playing the last 34 minutes. In the race for the climb, Racing, 2nd 5 points behind Rouen in group A of National 2 and which receives Blois this Saturday (5 p.m. in Versailles), will be able to rely on the experience of the 29-year-old attacking midfielder. . Trained at PSG, Gerard then went through Créteil (National) before breaking out at Lens (51 games, 4 goals in L2 between 2016-2018) then getting to know the foreigner at the Royale Union Saint-Gilloise (D2 Belgium), then FK Qabala (Azerbaijan). Since the summer of 2020, he had been without a club after being troubled by injuries.
Relocation: Sainte-Geneviève must play in Amiens
After the serious incidents that occurred on March 25 at the Parc des Sports following the defeat against Boulogne-sur-Mer (0-1), Sainte-Geneviève had been heavily sanctioned (five players and the field suspended as a precaution). The case is under investigation. In the meantime, the Essonne club had to find a fallback ground outside Île-de-France to “receive” the Reims reserve. The match will therefore take place on a field adjoining the Licorne stadium in Amiens.
The sentence: “The authorities are illustrated by a lack of anticipation penalizing the Red Star”
After the deprogramming decided on Wednesday at 48 hours from its trip to Nancy, finally fixed for Monday April 17, the Red Star must now face major constraints to transport its supporters. A situation that the club denounced this Friday in a press release.
“Only the movement by bus of 80 Red Star FC supporters with valid stadium access tickets, and transported by bus under the responsibility of Red Star FC and under police escort, is authorized. Red Star FC denounces an unprecedented level of constraints solely intended to prevent any movement of our supporters, to whom we give our full support and whom we will contact. Ignoring the recommendations and alerts made several weeks ago, the authorities are once again distinguished by a lack of anticipation and consultation penalizing Red Star FC and its supporters, also despite all sporting fairness, “writes the club.
The number: 7
The number of points taken by Versailles in the last 7 games, i.e. one win, 3 draws and 3 losses. A virtual relegation course… To stay in the race for the climb, the Cris team has no room for error against Villefranche this Friday (7:30 p.m.) at the Jean-Bouin stadium.
“Everything is fun! My team has the capacity to go up, tempers the Brazilian technician. A lot can still happen. Who would have bet anything on Dunkirk a month and a half ago? Since this formation has aligned 6 successes in a row. We remain on 3 draws and 1 loss, we are missing a little thing. The other teams look at us as a favorite and they play differently against us. »
The match to go to: a 93 derby between Aubervilliers and Drancy
This will be the poster of the weekend in National 3. In full revival since the arrival on the bench of Himed Hamma and moved from 13th to 4th place thanks to its beautiful series of 4 consecutive victories, JA Drancy receives the Aubervilliers leader. A match that promises this Saturday (3 p.m.) at the Charles-Sage stadium.
