Arkema D1 Championship (10th day). MHSC travels to Dijon this Saturday, December 7, 5 p.m., with a place in the first four at stake.

A point separates them in the general ranking of D1 women. Dijon, 4th, receives Montpellier Hérault, 5th, who have just won two games against Nantes and Saint-Étienne. A series in progress for the MHSC which, in the event of success in Dijon, would do more than overtake its opponent. It would also keep its next opponent, Fleury (away to Nantes), at a distance (3 pts), before receiving the Franciliennes for the last match of the year in Grammont on December 15.

Louis and Torrent suspended

But as Yannick Chandioux repeats, one match after another. “Each match is prepared with this idea of ​​maintaining things, maintaining collective efforts…”
And Dijon is a real test, which apart from two defeats against Lyon and PSG has lined up two draws at the start of the season then five wins. An opponent who surprised Montpellier last year with a goal conceded very early in the match (1-0), and the year before (2-1). “Dijon is in my opinion a notch above Nantes who don't score much, don't concede many goals and Saint-Étienne who concede more and score more. It's a team that resembles us more in terms of statistics. There are very good individuals, good recruitment done in the off-season, a network from the East, Polish in particular with quality internationals who were part of Poland's qualification a few days ago for Euro 2025. It's a playful, efficient team. Ahead of us in the standings which is not a surprise. It will be decided by details.”

Positive pressure

Montpellier will travel to Burgundy “in good conditions”, who got her internationals back at the beginning of the week after the friendly matches of the France A and U23. Despite the suspension of Kethna Louis and Marion Torrent.
This should not be a problem for the Hérault coach whose message in recent weeks has been to involve everyone. “There will be changes, automatically. Discomfort is also good. It forces the player to work harder and show in training that she can be counted on, to go and get things that perhaps we lose over time. Let's stay focused on how to make further progress with this desire to involve everyone”, confirms Yannick Chandioux. A way to keep his group under pressure, “but a positive pressure, with a big motivation”.
