Paris FC vs. FC Metz, Stade Charléty
Just before football embarks on its enforced prolonged winter break, Paris FC hosted FC Metz in their final match at their home ground. The match didn’t have much potential for entertainment on the paper: both teams are in mid-table no man’s land which usually equals little excitement. What a pleasant surprise to see an open…
Magdeburg v Heidenheim: Patience! Patience!
Late October and Magdeburg still have a mountain to climb in order to stay above the line. step forward – step backward? Magdeburg were close to fall back into their pattern that has been laid out so far this season: a defeat will follow a victory. The away win at Hamburg which showed a very…
