SM Caen welcomes Quevilly Rouen Métropole to the Michel d’Ornano stadium for the 18th day of the National. This new Normandy derby can be followed live and in full with France 3 from 7:20 p.m.
Getting closer to the podium or moving away from the red zone: these are the motivations of the players of SM Caen on the one hand, and of Quevilly Rouen Métropole on the other hand this Friday evening during the Normandy derby. The match takes place at the Michel d’Ornano stadium as part of the 18th day of National, the first of the return phase of the championship.
On the occasion of this duel between two of the three Norman teams in the division, France Télévisions sets up its cameras in the Caen area and offers you a live and full broadcast from 7:20 p.m., with a major production, worthy of Ligue 2 matches. Cameras located in the four corners of the pitch, slow motion from various angles and a sound system as close as possible to the sidelines for an even better restitution than if you were in the stands.
In the comments, you will find Boris Letonteur, sports journalist author of documentary “SM Caen, from divisions to divisions” broadcast last June on our channels, and David Fouquet, former coach at US Quevilly, FC Rouen and QRM.
On a sporting level, Stade Malherbe presents itself for the first time in front of its supporters with its new coach, Gaël Clichy. The former French international defender arrived on the Caen bench between Christmas and New Year, with the aim of moving up the rankings towards the promotion places in Ligue 2.
Opposite, QRM also changed coaches, but it was at the very start of the season. If the electroshock worked when Fabien Valéri arrived, the bellows deflated afterwards. The Quevillo-Rouennais team remains on a series of 10 matches without a victory, and failed to beat Saint-Brieuc last weekend in a crucial match for maintenance. First not relegated, the QRM players will have to work hard in this second part of the season, and make big moves.
Why not this Friday evening, in Caen, against an SMC that they managed to hold last summer during the 2nd day of the championship. Malherbe, for his part, intends to make up for his summer poor performance and launch an essential series of victories with the aim of a gradual return to the top of the table.
