This Saturday sets the stage for compelling face-to-face battles among Congolese players, as they prepare to showcase their skills and prowess for their respective clubs.
In Ligue 1, Samuel Moutoussamy, a figure known for his dynamism, is set to lead Nantes against FC Lorient, commanded by compatriot Gédéon Kalulu.
The clash is a significant encounter, pitting two clubs closely positioned in the lower half of the table.
Both Nantes and Lorient share the same number of points, standing at 22, with Lorient holding a slim advantage in the 15th position, just ahead of their 16th-placed opponents.
The match also provides an opportunity for Lorient to seek redemption after a previous defeat in the first leg with a scoreline of 5-3 against Nantes. Gédéon Kalulu is assured of his starting position, while Samuel Moutoussamy anticipates contributing to the game following a recent reprieve.
In Ligue 2, the Congolese duo of Vital Nsimba and Maxime Sivis will engage in a spirited duel as Bordeaux faces Guingamp in the 25th round.
Guingamp, currently in 10th place with 35 points, clashes with Bordeaux, occupying the 13th position with 32 points.
Both Nsimba and Sivis, donning their respective club colors, are determined to secure a victory, a crucial step towards climbing the league table and approaching the coveted top 10 positions.
Adding to the excitement, Dylan Batubinsika is poised to feature prominently in the regional derby as AS Saint-Étienne faces Annecy, further intensifying the Congolese presence in French football clashes this weekend.
