A new football weekend and a new meeting.
Le Parisien invites you to sum up, before each new day, all the challenges of the football weekend in Île-de-France.
The weekend poster: Sainte-Geneviève wants to bring down Paris 13 Atletico
A small derby in group B of N2 between Sainte-Geneviève and Paris 13 Atletico will capture the attention of the eyes this weekend in Île-de-France.
It will oppose two in-form teams.
In full recovery, Sainte-Geneviève, remains on six games without defeat (4 wins, 2 draws) including a 4-1 success in Haguenau last Saturday.
Paris 13 Atletico has not lost since September 11.
Fabien Valeri's team remains on an impressive 12-game unbeaten streak (9 wins including 4 in a row in 2022 and 3 draws).
With 8 points ahead of Fleury and 11 over the Lusitanos Saint-Maur, the team from the 13th arrondissement is on the royal road to a historic accession to National.
The question of the week: is the Entente SSG already condemned to the descent to N3?
“No, as long as it is mathematically feasible, we will believe it even if we are also realistic”, replies the former coach of Chad Emmanuel Tregoat, who arrived in October in place of Didier Caignard.
Red lantern of group B with 11 points behind the first non-relegation, the Entente SSG remains on six defeats in a row.
Beaten (3-0) in Saint-Quentin last Saturday, the Val-d'Oisienne team receives the reserve from Lens (15th).
“When I took over the team, I told the leaders that I was not a magician, continues Emmanuel Tregoat.
I changed 75% of the team, recruited several players including Sony Mustivar (Haitian international) who is above… I don't put pressure on the players.
There's a great atmosphere, I'm not absent from training. The observation is that we're really not far in the game, even if that doesn't show in accounting terms.
But as is the lot of teams in our situation, we concede silly goals, we have injuries, expelled… You have to start a series and already have as your first objective not to be last.
It starts against Lens.

The match to go: cheer on the heroes of Versailles against JPP's Chartres
The announcement of the reversal of the semi-final of the Coupe de France against Nice, caused some misunderstanding and spite in Île-de-France.
By taking this decision, Versailles has undoubtedly missed a magnificent opportunity to arouse popular momentum behind it and capture new supporters.
Before the trip to the Allianz Riviera on March 1, there is nevertheless one last opportunity for the Parisian public to see the heroes of the Coupe de France play in Île-de-France.
It will be against Chartres, this Saturday afternoon (3 p.m.) at the Montbauron stadium.
A poster with a big sporting stake since in the event of success, the leader Versailles would certainly definitively exclude Chartres (4th at 8 points) from the race for the climb.
It will also be an opportunity to see Jean-Pierre Papin, the former OM striker and Ballon d'Or 1991, in his coaching suit on the Chartres bench.
Player to watch: Quentin Barcelo (Sainte-Geneviève)
At almost 33 years old, the tall (1.91m) striker is one of the emblematic players of Sainte-Geneviève where he is playing his 7th season and has experienced the best moments of his career: the rise to N2, the trip to Reunion in Coupe de France in 2016 and a 32nd final against Caen (L1) in 2017. Always so generous on the ground, Quentin Barcelo participated fully in the recovery of Sainte-Geneviève.
He forms an attacking tandem with Alain Mouya Ipiélé, who arrived from Bobigny this summer and has already scored 7 goals.
Barcelo found his way back to the nets after five months without scoring, opening the scoring last Saturday in Haguenau (4-1), his third goal of the season.
Facing the leader Paris 13 Atletico, he will be, as usual, at the forefront of the fight.
Among young people: the immense challenge of Paris 13 Atlético against Rennes in Gambardella
It's Gambardella Sunday with the U18s.
After the early eliminations of PSG and Paris FC, the last hopes of Ile-de-France rest on two teams that play in the Regionals, Paris 13 Atletico (R2) and Bobigny (R1).
Paris 13 Atletico will have a huge step to climb against Rennes, one of the best training centers in France and one of the favorites of this Gambardella.
Bobigny, will move to Saran, in Loiret, for the only duel between two regional level teams of these 8th of Gambardella.
A more favorable draw on paper even if Saran is undefeated this season (8 league wins and 8 Gambardella wins).
