With respectively two and four points behind their direct competitors, the residents of Charente see their task becoming even more complicated as they will have to face the current top three teams before the end of the season. On the contrary, the men of President De Souza will play at home five times and only have to travel four times. The arrival of Feytiat presents an opportunity to reassure themselves against a team within their reach.
During the first match on October 18th, the blue and white team lost by only one goal (1-0). Playing at home will be a crucial advantage that shouldn’t be wasted.
Périgny (4th) – Angoulême B (7th), Saturday, March 21st at 7:00 pm. After a week of rest, Périgny returns to the championship with a match against Angoulême’s reserve team, an opponent that the club knows well. This encounter brings back memories of the previous season, where both teams dominated the championship: Angoulême finished 1st and Périgny 2nd. However, the Charente reserve team cannot move up since the first team is already in National 2, so Périgny hoped to play the promotion playoff. This hope was dashed when the French Football Federation denied the club the opportunity to participate in this decisive match.
This season, the two teams find themselves with a slightly different hierarchy. Périgny is in 4th place with 28 points, while Angoulême is in 7th place with 25 points. Matches between these two teams are often closely contested: the first match ended in a draw (1-1). For this new confrontation, the Périgny team will aim to confirm the progress seen throughout the season and try to win in order to get closer to the top three, with the goal of continuing to progress collectively and aiming for the best possible position in the standings.
