The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Dunkerque are in the 9th position while the guesting Pau worry at 19th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Pau have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
