Nancy winger Youssouf Hadji has urged his side to kick on and build on last weekend's vital win over Valenciennes that earned them breathing space in the battle to avoid the drop from Ligue 1.

The Lorraine club travel to fourth-bottom Caen on Saturday for what is their second relegation six-pointer in the space of a week, coming after the 2-0 victory over VA last time out.

That first success in 10 attempts lifted Nancy into 15th place and three points clear of the bottom three, but Hadji - a scorer last weekend - insists there can be no easing up.

"As we approach the last weekend of the season, the matches will be more and more important," said the Morocco international.

"We are not going to relax just because we have beaten Valenciennes. It is imperative we don't lose in Normandy.

"Beating Valenciennes wasn't just down to chance, it was down to hard work and that must continue. We still have to play several direct rivals (for the drop) and in the battle for survival, these are huge matches."

Hadji was absent from training earlier this week as he nursed an adductor strain, but he will be fit to play tomorrow.

On the contrary, Helder (knee), Pascal Berenguer (Achilles), Gaston Curbelo and Chris Malonga (both thigh) are out injured while Damien Macaluso and Alfred N'Diaye are both suspended.

Caen climbed out of the relegation zone with a 2-1 triumph at bottom club Le Havre last weekend but they are still just one point clear of trouble.

However, that first win in close to five months will have lifted the confidence, especially for top scorer Steve Savidan, who scored the opener last Saturday for his first goal in eight weeks.

Coach Franck Dumas welcomes back into the squad Gregory Proment, who has missed recent matches because of suspension and injury (ribs).
