the JSA Bordeaux want to definitively ensure their maintenance

Certainly, the JSA Bordeaux did not deserve last weekend in Montsoué by standing up to the co-leader of the group, the ESMS, but in the end the Bordelais had to give in for the third time in a row in the championship (78- 85). A thirteenth defeat of the season which plunges the Bordeaux club to 10^e place in the standings with only two points ahead of the first relegated Saint-Georges-de-Montaigu and three points over their next opponent, BB Marmande, with three days remaining.

Matthieu Hubert’s protégés are therefore missing a victory to ensure their continuation in N2. This shows the importance of this penultimate meeting at the sports center for the JSA. A meeting which will have a very special taste for the Bordelais Paco Demazeau who will reunite with his former club, BB Marmande, who will for his part play one of these last cards to remain in the division. A Lot-et-Garonnais opponent who will not be taken lightly as proven by his victory last weekend against Auch (85-78) with players to watch closely like the leaders, Arnaud Bruzac (17.04 pts average) and Hugo Pellure (11.50 pts).

Victorious in the first leg at Marmande (77 to 69), the JSA Bordeaux will want to confirm this result at home in front of their public but nothing will be easy, as Girondin coach Matthieu Hubert announces: “It’s a team that is very focused on the attack with one of the best scorers in the group, Bruzac. They will come with a knife between their teeth to win with us and still hope. It’s going to be a complicated meeting but we would like to show a good face and ensure that we maintain our position for good.”
