  • 15' France international Yohan Demoncy has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 20' It looks surprising Valenciennes FC does not make any changes. Julien Masson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 53' The 25-year-old Sacha Banse has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
