Preview: Montauban W Hosts Chatenoy Royal in French Feminine Division 3

MONTAUBAN, France (Interstat) — Montauban W looks to solidify its standing near the top of the French Feminine Division 3 table when it hosts struggling Chatenoy Royal on Sunday.

The match at Stade de la Fobio kicks off at 15:00 local time (1400 GMT).

Montauban (8-3-4) enters the contest following a 2-0 road loss to AS Cannes W last Sunday, which snapped a four-match winning streak. Prior to that, the club’s attack was in formidable form, scoring 19 goals across those four victories, including a 5-1 win over ALC Longvic W and an 8-1 rout of FC Girondins de Bordeaux.

Chatenoy Royal (2-4-9) seeks to halt a slide after a 4-0 home defeat to Montpellier II W last weekend. The club has managed just one point from its last four matches and has been outscored 17-1 during that span. Its defense has conceded four or more goals in five matches this season.

A statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a 3-1 victory for the home side.

The teams have not met previously this season. Montauban currently sits in fourth place in the Group B standings, while Chatenoy Royal resides in 11th.

Following this match, Montauban travels to face Clermont Foot 63 on April 5. Chatenoy Royal remains at home to host Le Puy W on the same date.

Chatenoy Royal Key Result: Suffered heavy defeats to top-half sides Albi Marssac W (8-0) and AS Cannes W (4-0) this season.

Montauban W Key Result: Demonstrated explosive offense with an 8-1 victory over FC Girondins de Bordeaux on Feb. 14.
