FC Dieppois vs Wasquehal
DIEPPE, France (Interstat) — FC Dieppois hosts Wasquehal on Saturday, May 2, in a National 2 matchup that carries playoff implications for both sides. Kickoff is at Stade des Vertus.
Dieppois (4-6-5 in league play) enters having lost 3-0 at Chambly-Oise on April 24, a defeat that snapped a three-match unbeaten run. The home side’s last victory came April 19, a 2-1 win over Bastia-Borgo. Wasquehal (3-8-4) has dropped five of its past six, including a 2-0 defeat at home to Beauvais on April 25. The visitors’ lone win in that stretch was a 2-1 decision at Epinal on April 10.
The teams last met Feb. 28, when FC Dieppois won 4-1 at Wasquehal. That result continued Dieppois’s recent dominance: they have not lost to Wasquehal in their past three meetings.
Player to watch: FC Dieppois midfielder Orhan Sertoglü. The 24-year-old entered as a 90th-minute substitute in the Chambly-Oise loss and recorded an assist. Sertoglü has been a key creative force for Dieppois, often providing service from set pieces and wide areas.
Wasquehal outlook: The visitors have struggled to generate offense, scoring just four goals in their past six matches. Forward Zanga Koné started in the Beauvais loss but was substituted out. Denis Amedovski also started as a forward before being replaced.
Dieppois form: After a 0-0 draw at Colmar and a scoreless home draw against Chantilly, Dieppois has shown defensive resilience but inconsistent finishing. They managed draws against Bourges Foot (0-0) and Beauvais (1-1) earlier this season. The team’s last home win was March 14, a 0-0 draw with Chantilly (Interstat) — not a win, but they have not lost at home since April 4 against FC Thionville.
Forecast: Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, reflecting the teams’ similar mid-table positions. Dieppois sits eighth in the 14-team group; Wasquehal is 12th. Both clubs are fighting to avoid relegation trouble.
Injury report: No major injuries reported for either side.
Match officials: TBD.
Up next: Dieppois travels to Furiani-Agliani on May 9; Wasquehal hosts Epinal the same day.
The match is the 14th of 26 league fixtures for both clubs.
