After 10 days of international break, place at the championship this weekend! What does the program for the 8th day of women's D1 reserve for you? Some answers here.

The podium, an equation with 4 unknowns
And if Wendie Renard's recent injury, the lack of physical freshness of the internationals and a busy infirmary, brought Lyon a misstep in the league, who would benefit the most?

Montpellier
Current second in the standings, the MHSC receives Rodez, a tenacious team with a strong character.
Last year, at the 6th day, the Ruthenoises were left at home with a draw in their pocket, precipitating the Paillade to one of its worst start to the season. Although since then, the situation has changed, the slightest misstep of Marie-Charlotte Léger and her teammates, could be very expensive in the race to Europe.
Juvisy and Paris
These two teams currently have 23 points in the standings and even if a Juvisy victory could revive the championship, because of the difference in goals, it would also be a bad result for Paris so that the Juv91 can climb on one of the 2 highest steps of the podium.
For its part, since the arrival of the serial Brazilian scorer Cristiane, the PSG seems to be getting better and we hope to quickly witness the injury returns of Laure Boulleau, Jessica Houara and Kenza Dali. As we must dream bigger, why not to the tenure of Marie-Laure Delie and Kheira Hamraoui?


Behind, the middle battle
Soyaux (5th) and Albi (7th) have started this first part of the 2015-2016 edition championship well and share a common goal: to protect themselves from relegation as quickly as possible.
By moving to Saint-Maur, the Charentaises will have to resist the unfailing optimism that gives wings to an opponent in search of success. Since the first day, the VGA is struggling to find its place among the elite, without having abdicated. It seems that in these cases, we are his worst enemy ... It will be a bit the same for Albi, for this match of all the dangers in Nimoises land because, the crocs have fangs and would like "to break the curse of the little promoted "by snatching a 1st victory.

 

At the top, in the middle and at the bottom of the standings, nothing seems acquired, place to the sport!
