On Wednesday, April 15, the Saran handball players will be hosting Caen. It’s a showdown between third and second place, a very important confrontation in this final sprint. We talk about it in the sports minute from here in Orléans.
The mission looks tough. But not impossible! It’s the clash of this 26th day of ProLigue: on Wednesday, April 15, the Saran Septors will host Caen at the Palais des Sports in Orléans (kick-off at 8 p.m.). A top table duel between 3rd and 2nd place. Luis Cruz’s players come with enormous ambitions. But to surpass the opponent of the evening, they will need to play a great match. Because a simple victory will not be enough to step up onto the second step of the podium.
Edu Calle and his teammates will have to make up for the goal difference from the first leg match. It was during the opening day of the championship: a heavy defeat suffered in Normandy 35-28. Tonight, in order to surpass Caen, they will need to win by at least 7 goals… For that, the Septors can rely on their fiery attack, the best in the division. Also, on the support of the fans, as they have only lost once at home this season.
The carrot is enticing for Saran, as the second place in the standings offers the advantage of home turf throughout the playoffs. And even beyond that, with a victory tonight, the Septors can still dream of the championship title and therefore direct promotion.
