After an 8th day full of sensations carried by a Lyon vs Juvisy full of suspense, what does the program of the 9th day of D1 female reserve for you? Some answers here.

A little air, to get out of the red zone
And if the real poster of this 9th day of female D1 was played at the bottom of the table? For Nîmes, Saint-Etienne and Saint-Maur, this beginning of the season does not rhyme with success and each point parched, is a breath of fresh air when one stagnates since too long in the zone of relegation.
If last weekend, the VGA managed to snatch a draw against Soyaux in the final minutes of regulation time (1-1), the ASSE clearly took the water against a PSG team (0-3 ) more and more serious in attack. The Nîmes, meanwhile, may have let slip the opportunity to win an accessible match against Albi (1-1), but we will remember their first draw at home.
As much to say it clearly, no matter who of Saint-Etienne or Saint-Maur will win the meeting, it will indirectly benefit Nîmes whose chances of making a result against Juvisy are tiny.
If we know well the negative effects of the promoted syndrome in female D1, the current situation of the green is somewhat disturbing. After a torrential start during the first day, the audacious sports project that was sold last year seems more and more distant ... A questioning is perhaps necessary?

The coach of Albi knows well Guingamp
It was in 2010, at the time the women were evolving within the Briochin Stadium and a certain Eugénie Le Sommer chained goals every weekend, to the delight of his coach Adolphe Ogouyon. If the international tricolor joined Olympique Lyonnais the following season, his coach remained at the controls of EA Guingamp until 2012.
Back on the Albigensian bench since the summer mercato, he will find at his side a known face, that of Sarah M'Barek, who at the time was training Montpellier.
All 2 will share, for at least 90 minutes, a common ambition: to see their team win and ensure a little more support before the winter break.
A balanced encounter that promises great opposition, for 2 teams that could take advantage of the good performances of Lyon, Montpellier and Paris to double some clubs better placed ... Business is business!

Soyaux, the unpredictable
The players of the MHSC, current 2nd in the standings, thanks to 7 wins and 1 draw after 8 days of championship, know that this trip to the Charente to ambush.
On paper, Soyaux's sawtooth results suggest that victory is won. Yet, if there is one thing that has been verified since his return to D1 is that this small Sojaldiciennes team has the ability to shake the opponents too confident.
For a long time, we talked about a Welsh village among the French elite, if for several years the maps of France located in Essonne, it seems that the latest GPS settings position it to the east of Angoulême ...
