MUMBAI:
Ten Sports will bring a French fiesta for football fans with telecast
of two matches, including those involving the top two-placed teams
in the French League.
It
will be a Sunday double-header with live action when AS Nancy take
on France’s most popular clubs, Olympique Marseille.
Second-placed
AS Nancy, who are actually tied with Lyon on 22 points and have
played one game less will then take on the second-last team in the
League, Sochaux.
AS
Nancy have an interesting history, with French superstar Michel
Platini having represented the club for six years from 1973 to 1979.
They made it to the top league after becoming the League 2 champions
in 2005, and after finishing ninth last year, they have announced
their title aspirations with a strong showing so far this season.
Live
telecast of the Nancy-Sochaux match is scheduled for 21 October
starting at 9:30pm.
This
will be followed by the live telecast of Marseille taking on Lens.
Live telecast of the match starts Monday early morning at 12:30am.
Marseille
are placed 18th in the 20-team League and will be hoping for a winning
show at home against a team, which is only two positions better
than them.
Apart
from the French League matches, Ten Sports has some spectacular
football action lined up throughout the season in the form of UEFA
Champions League matches, Europe’s premier championship apart
from the Dutch League and Scottish Premier League.
