Happy days for Niort in their previous game, a Ligue 2 match away at Dunkerque (placed 16th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Midfielder Bilal Boutobba was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.2 (out of ten) in that game. Boutobba signed up for two assists, hit four key passes and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 3 times. Manager S. Desabre felt very clever after Joseph Mendes scored the winning goal against Dunkerque, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 71st minute.
