We rub our hands in advance! This Saturday, the RC lensNational 3’s best attack (all hens concerned) goes to challenge the VFC extension, the best defense in the league. And in the standings the two formations follow each other. Sang et Or are second with 19 points, ditto for Valenciennes (3rd) who however have one game less (and also a lower goal difference).
So what to expect this afternoon? The two reserves have fun in this group I of N3. Playful, the Valenciennes squad has as many young elements as their counterparts at Lensoise. Most of the players currently featured are former residents of the U19 league. Generations in progress and now putting themselves to the test.
Expected show
After the card against Vimy (5-2), Lens will try to go even further in what will be his last away match of the calendar year. “The week passed almost normally. With the pros recovering, some players in our group have gone up, some all week. We’re picking them up for this afternoon’s gameslips Vincent Carlier. It will be an interesting game to play. Against professional clubs it’s always nice, we’ll see. The good thing is that we play with our training group. I don’t know how Valenciennes works on his side. Whether it is the same configuration, whether there are descents or vice versa.
An absentee on defense
And also beware of this Valenciennes team which is not only a good defense. Even up front, he takes care of his stats. And Racing will have to do without their defender Keny Mbala, who was hit in the shoulder this week. But finding a replacement for him shouldn’t be too complicated. “We have players who train well, the level is homogeneous even if the boys haven’t had much luck in N3, they are doing well in U19. They have to keep working and seize the opportunity».
