20:00 Avranches – Epinal

US Avranches is in the middle of the standings in the French Championnat National (9-6-8 30-25), with six points advantage in front of the teams in the relegation zone and eleven points behind the last team at Top 3 – Red Star F.C.

In the matter of fact, the hosts are not doing so well in 2015 (2-3-4 7-7 / all competitions), but now they will play against the team with the lowest potential in this league and I expect, that US Avranches will manage to win three points at “Stade Rene Fenouillere” after four unsuccessful attempts (0-3-1 0-1 in this period).

SAS Epinal is team in a deep crisis, as the Yellow-Blues already lost all their chances to avoid relegation in the lower division.The visitors won only three points from the last seven rounds in this league (0-3-4 8-18) and is obvious, that the motivation of the players is on very low level in this moment.

Three defeats for SAS Epinal in the last three visits in the league, as each of those three matches was lost with at least two goals difference (USL Dunkergue – SAS Epinal 3-1 on 13.02.2015 ; Etoile Frejus Saint-Raphael – SAS Epinal 4-1 on 06.03.2015 ; Vendee Lucon Football – SAS Epinal 4-0 on 20.03.2015).

Another reason for my bet can be found in the fact, that the visitors will be without eight important players in the face of Paul Leonard (defender), Victor Di Pinto (defender), Jeremy Colin (midfielder), Pape Diallo (midfielder), Quentin Guyon (midfielder / 1 goal), Youcef Touati (midfielder / 1 goal), Kadar Hassan (midfielder / 4 goals) and Mohamed Diabate (striker / 1 goal).

I think that the home team own enough potential to win this match with more than one goal difference, especially under these circumstances.
