Ivry vs Mulhouse - National 3 - Group F

A fascinating National 3 - Group F chapter awaits on March 28, 2026 when Ivry take on Mulhouse at Stade de Clerville — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Manchester City face the K-League All-Stars in Seoul as part of their pre-season tour of Asia.

The two sides arrive with plenty to prove, and the National 3 - Group F contest at Stade de Clerville offers a chance to lay down a marker. The hosts will be looking to find their rhythm and put a run of results together. Mulhouse will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. 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.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Ivry may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Mulhouse have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. In his press conference on Friday, Tuchel admitted it 'hurt him' not to play the United man in America.

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. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. However, the Scotland striker has not hit the ground running in Govan and was on the bench for the 5-1 home League Cup win over St Mirren on Sunday, with midfielder Nico Raskin taking the armband.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 1-1 draw feels like a fitting result. With positions in the National 3 - Group F table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. The Spaniard heading to Barca all but rules out a midfield departure from the Bernabeu and thus United will likely have to look elsewhere.
