On Saturday, the Gym will travel to Dijon to face DFCO for matchday 25 of L1 (kick-off at 8pm). At the Stade Gaston-Gérard, the Aiglons will look to turn the tide around after two consecutive defeats in L1. The best way to prepare themselves for the immense encounter that awaits them next week... “It’s clear that we as coaches, are also thinking ahead to Moscow because it follows very quickly after, explained Lucien Favre in front of the press. It has been a long time since there was a Round of 32 Europa League game here. It’s the European Cup, Lokomotiv are a good side, they are top of their league in Russia, with an 8 point lead on the rest, which isn’t nothing. That means that they clearly have good players. We have already watched them, of course, but we can’t focus too much on that yet because the priority is the match on Saturday.”
