First scheduled for this Wednesday, then postponed, and finally back to the starting point: while the people of Marseille wanted to separate it from the French Cup quarter-final between OM and Toulouse, the match between the Spartiates and the Rapaces will finally take place Wednesday evening.
Nothing has been easy for the organization of this meeting, and nothing will be simple on the ice either. Even if the people of Marseille have won two out of their three confrontations against Gap this season, as they will play in the playoffs while the High-Alpine team will play in the play-downs to avoid relegation, there’s still everything to play for in this penultimate meeting of the regular phase, the last one at home.
With only two days left to play, and with a trip to Bordeaux on Friday, Marseille could just as well finish in 4th place as in 7th.
Two eagerly awaited returns
Four teams (Bordeaux, Marseille, Nice, and Briançon) are separated by seven points between 4th and 7th place. Nice and Briançon are in good form, while Bordeaux and Marseille are struggling.
Deprived of several players on Sunday in Amiens, the Spartiates are expected to welcome back Fabien Colotti (return from suspension) and Emil Tavernier (return from injury) for this match. Much-needed reinforcements in this final sprint where every point counts.
