Semi-final objective for Carcassonne XIII, in Domec, at 4 p.m., during a derby which promises to be boiling and above all very undecided, once morest Limoux XIII, his runner-up.
This followingnoon, it is as a leader that Carcassonne XIII will end its regular season. However, this honorary position is not definitive because the representatives of the prefecture can still be doubled in the classification by their two Aude neighbors. Indeed, the Limouxins, who are visiting them earlier (4 p.m.) in Domec, will receive Villeneuve-sur-Lot next weekend, while, for their part, the Lézignanais, who are hosting Avignon today , will travel to Albi before crossing swords with Villeneuve-sur–Lot at the Moulin. Nothing is therefore done for anyone yet and the Canaries, depending on the results of their direct opponents, may be forced to go through the play-off box.
A derby more open than ever
This is why, if they want to acquire the certainty of qualifying directly for the semi-finals, the men of Fred Camel and Alan Walsh must imperatively win this followingnoon once morest the Blanquetiers. An obligation that further spices up a derby that promises to be more open than ever, between two teams currently in full swing as evidenced by their latest results. However, for this shock, the “yellow and black” must deal with the absences of Jonathan Soum, Matthieu Khedimi and Lucas Rodriguez, who unfortunately ended their season, and who were joined by Emir-Walid Bouregba (shoulder), Mickaël Simon (calf) and, the latest, Djibryl Dauliac (Covid). The former resident of Baho will be replaced by Bastien Escamilla in the third line. However, the premises do not intend to hide behind these absences because their workforce is rich. Also, they line up a competitive team for this second round of the derby. A team in which the young and promising Thibaut Marty will be associated with Vincent Albert in the center of the offensive division.
