National: Créteil - Concarneau and Quevilly - Red Star, last efforts before the holidays

The 16th day of National will close the year 2020 this Friday evening with two summits for Créteil and the Red Star.

Here are the main things to know about these two duels.

Undefeated shock for the Red Star

Leader after his success in a late match against SC Lyon, Quevilly-Rouen, who remains on 5 successes, awaits a Red Star team (3rd two points) also on a series of six games without defeat (5 wins , 1 draw in Sète).

An Audonian success would place the men of President Patrice Haddad, leaving on Thursday in the group's bus, at the top of the National if SC Bastia (2nd tied on points) does not win at the red lantern, Annecy.

Bordot does not speak of turning point

The Audonian coach should renew his confidence in the 11 winner of Annecy (2-1).

“This is the opportunity to end the year on a high note,” he says.

The motivation is there, of course, but it will also be necessary to put the right ingredients because Quevilly is a great team which is not in the lead by chance.

It's up to us to upset them.

For me, this is not a turning point because there will be games left behind.

The coach will put the groups on leave at the end of this duel at the top before resuming training on December 30.

Créteil wants to materialize

Best defense (10 goals conceded) but penultimate attack (11 goals scored) ... During this first part of the season, Créteil cultivated paradoxes.

If Carlos Secretario's team has been undefeated for six games, it has mostly drawn draws (5 out of the last 6 games) and is no longer advancing in the standings.

Currently 6th, eight points behind leader Quevilly and six from the Bastia-Red Star duo, the Cristoliens will try to finish the year in the Top against Concarneau, a team which is sailing in the same waters in the standings.

“It is very important to stay in contact with the first, because in a tight championship like the National, we can very quickly fall in the standings if we have a series of poor performances.

We have left a lot of points in recent weeks with our draws, so a victory would do us the greatest good, ”said striker Mustapha Sangaré on the club website.

Captain Jason Buaillon (injured) is absent.

Make way for shock against @QRM for this last game of the year!
