Stade Français will appear on the lawn of the Charles-Mathon stadium in Oyonnax with the desire to maintain a new dynamic, against the 13th and penultimate in the championship. A match which will be crucial for Ile-de-France residents in search of redemption.
The Pink and Blue may have returned to victory last week during a difficult trip to the UBB field (26-30), the start of the year remains frustrating. Gonzalo Quesada and his men indeed suffered a big disappointment in the Champions Cup, being eliminated from the competition without achieving the slightest success.
This is therefore a great opportunity to restore our image and get closer to first place against a team that is also struggling. The Oyomen also finished in last place in their European group in the Challenge Cup, and remain on a razor’s edge defeat last week in Bayonne (21-17). A disappointment which brings them closer to the place of red lantern of the Top 14.
Despite the difference in ambition between the two clubs, the first leg was very difficult for Stade Français, which won in the last minutes (28-18).
Oyonnax-Stade Français kicks off on Saturday February 3 at 5 p.m. on Canal + Sport.
