ℹ️ Team News: Angers SCO

Sidiki Chérif (Dead leg) and Justin-Noël Kalumba (Broken ankle) won’t be playing for Angers SCO boss Alexandre Dujeux.

It’s our opinion that Les Scoïstes will probably go for a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match with Yahia Fofana, Carlens Arcus, Emmanuel Biumla, Jordan Lefort, Florent Hanin, Jean Aholou, Haris Belkebla, Jim Allevinah, Himad Abdelli, Farid El Melali and Esteban Lepaul.

🗞️ Team News: AJ Auxerre

AJ Auxerre manager Christophe Pélissier has some current player fitness concerns. Gabriel Osho (Knee injury), Kévin Danois (Dead leg), Lasso Coulibaly (Cruciate ligament injury) and Nathan Buayi-Kiala (Cruciate ligament injury) miss out here.

It’s our belief that AJA could decide to begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 formation using Theo De Percin, Sinaly Diomande, Jubal, Clement Akpa, Ki-Jana Hoever, Gideon Mensah, Han-Noah Massengo, Elisha Owusu, Gaetan Perrin, Hamed Traore and Lassine Sinayoko.

🔮 Prediction

Our thinking is that AJ Auxerre and Angers SCO might both not be able to do quite enough to get on the scoresheet here.

We’ll have to see, but a draw might be on the cards. That’s why we have predicted a 0-0 scoreline by the conclusion of this game.
