Unfortunately, we will have to wait a little longer to see our Rouge et Bleu at Coubertin, as the return to action for Stefan Madsen's men involves three consecutive away games - in three different competitions. The second half of the season will kick off in Orléans, where they will take on Saran in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France on Tuesday 10 February (20:00). There, the capital club will have a reunion with Noa Narcisse, who has been a key player for the Septors since last summer and could be one of the main threats at the Palais des Sports Jean Ros.
Just three days later, the Parisians will head north to take on Dunkerque at the Stade des Flandres. This is a crucial match for the title against an opponent that knows how to rise to the occasion at home, as evidenced by last season's draw at their stadium. Finally, this series of three away games will end with a perilous EHF Champions League trip to Mateo Maras's home turf. Facing Zagreb, bottom of the group with two points, the Parisians will have no room for error. Currently sixth and provisionally qualified for the play-offs, Stefan Madsen's men will have to be at their best in the ever-hostile Arena Zagreb.
After two weeks on the road, the big return to the Stade Pierre de Coubertin is scheduled for 22 February! On this occasion, the Rouge et Bleu will be counting on your support against Aix. It promises to be a lively match against a European contender who will be determined to exploit whatever fatigue Stefan Madsen's men will be feeling.
Finally, the month's action will end on 26 February when the Champions League returns to Coubertin. Facing Szeged, Les Rouge et Bleu will be ready to do whatever it takes to erase the memory of the last duel between the two teams at Coubertin. What's more, with only two matches left to play in the group stage - at Pelister and against defending champions Magdeburg - the Parisians will have to win.
