Both C' Chartres and Dives-Cabourg will be eager to build momentum when they meet in National 3 - Group D. The hosts will be looking to find their rhythm and put a run of results together. The visitors will travel in the hope that a change of scene can spark a turnaround, whatever the form book says. But the Reds are still unsure about Bologna's asking price for the defender, who turned 28 in June and has less than 12 months to run on his contract at the Serie A side.

Pressing intensity will define the contest. C' Chartres will seek to win the ball high up the pitch and suffocate Dives-Cabourg's build-up, while the visitors will aim to play through the pressure and exploit the spaces it leaves behind. His passing display at the World Cup was yet more evidence of his suitability for City and the possession-heavy style Maresca favours.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome. However, at 24, there should still be considerable room for development.More importantly, Newcastle need a midfielder capable of contributing immediately.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. The signals point towards a stalemate, with the two sides closely matched across form and standings. A 1-1 draw is easy to envisage. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the National 3 - Group D standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. Harry Kane is the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or.
