Chantilly vs Furiani-Agliani - National 2 - Group A

The National 2 - Group A returns to the home ground on September 12, 2026, where Chantilly and Furiani-Agliani will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. LIV Golf definitely changed the face of the professional game with the extortionate amounts of money that they pumped into the league.

A glance at the National 2 - Group A table tells the story: Chantilly in 16th and Furiani-Agliani in 4th, with positions to defend and places to climb. The hosts are badly in need of a turnaround, with L in their last five and a win rate of just 0% highlighting their struggles. Furiani-Agliani travel in decent nick, W in their last five and a win rate of 50% this season. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Chantilly average 0.75 per game to Furiani-Agliani's 2, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. In his latest column, Paul Merson predicts the 2026/27 Premier League season at both ends of the table.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. Chantilly favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Furiani-Agliani are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. The Germany club were said to be looking for an out-and-out striker to allow Harry Kane to play a deeper role, and made an approach for Sesko in 2024.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. The wide areas will be a key battleground, with full-backs and wingers on either side capable of swinging the contest one way or the other. The agency Roc Nation are reportedly working on getting Real Madrid striker Endrick a transfer to the Premier League this summer.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Despite the home advantage enjoyed by Chantilly, the weight of evidence favours Furiani-Agliani — a 1-2 away win is the call. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the National 2 - Group A standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. It is understood that his next move is most likely to take him abroad - and potentially to the Premier League.
