Division 1 Baseball – 3rd day: expected confirmations, fragile balances
In the standings, Montpellier dominates and the PUC is struggling, Béziers won its first game and Rouen conceded one, four other teams share the middle of the table. This balance should change significantly during this third day.
La Rochelle – Béziers
Revived last week with a first win snatched against Toulouse, the Pirates of Béziers approach this away game in Charente-Maritime with a renewed confidence. But on the Rochelle pitch, the climb is going to be steep. Still in search of consistency, La Rochelle must imperatively score to stay in touch with the qualifying places. If the JFL pitchers hold their ground, the Maritimes have the weapons to win.
Prediction: double victory for La Rochelle.
Rouen – Sénart
It’s a real test for Sénart. Revitalized at the start of the season, the Parisians are showing a winning attitude, far from previous campaigns. But in Rouen, the benchmark of the championship, the opposition will be of a completely different calibre. The Huskies, who have already been tied once, will quickly want to put things back in order.
Montpellier – Savigny
Contrasting start to the season for the two teams. Montpellier is moving forward with ambition, while Savigny has to cope with the absence of its leader Acuna, who is injured. The Lions have not said their last word, however, and could surprise the Barracudas, who are sometimes inconsistent.
Pronostic: two victories for Rouen
Pronostic: one victory for each side
Toulouse – PUC
The PUC is going through a complicated start to the championship, burdened by a particularly demanding schedule. However, the Parisians have shown resilience, particularly during their marathon duel against Montpellier. In Toulouse, the task remains difficult, especially against a solid team at home.
Prediction: draw of victories
Division 1 Softball Féminin : St Raphaël en patron, duel d’outsiders à suivre
Nice – St Raphaël
Intouchables depuis le début de saison, les Comanches de St Raphaël dominent outrageusement le championnat. Après avoir balayé Évry, elles se déplacent à Nice avec le statut de grandes favorites. Dernières au classement, les Niçoises pourraient encore subir la loi du leader.
Pronostic : double victoire de St Raphaël
Pessac – Évry: partage des victoires
Colombes – Grenoble: une victoire chacun
