Valenciennes FC and
US Quevilly are set to meet in the French
National League on April 11, 2025, in what promises to be a significant encounter for both teams. This fixture comes at a pivotal moment in the season, with both teams looking to strengthen their positions in the league standings. Valenciennes will be eager to build on their recent form, while Quevilly aims to climb the table after a mixed bag of results.
Squad Analysis: Key Men and Missing Links
Valenciennes FC's lineup boasts some standout performers, particularly Julien Masson, known for his tenacity in midfield, and the experienced Mathieu Debuchy, who brings invaluable leadership at the back. Nick Venema, a forward with a keen eye for goal, could be crucial in breaking down Quevilly's defense. Anthony Knockaert, with his flair and creativity, adds a touch of unpredictability to the Valenciennes attack. However, they'll be missing the services of Yassine Haouari and Papa Camara, both sidelined due to injuries.
US Quevilly, on the other hand, relies on the defensive prowess of Kayne Bonnevie and Ahmed Soilihi, who form a solid backline. In midfield, Tony Njike's energy and Yassin Fortune's technical skills provide a dynamic duo. Up front, Yankuba Jarju's ability to find the net might prove decisive. Yet, they’ll have to cope without the presence of Pierre Patron and Jason Tre, both absent due to suspensions.
