From our viewpoint, Les Scoïstes seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Yahia Fofana, Carlens Arcus, Emmanuel Biumla, Jordan Lefort, Florent Hanin, Jean Aholou, Haris Belkebla, Jim Allevinah, Himad Abdelli, Farid El Melali and Ibrahima Niane.

🔮 Prediction

We envisage that Angers SCO have the ability to put one past this AJ Auxerre side, however that realistically won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

Our selection here is for a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for AJ Auxerre at the end of this one. Could easily see this go either way.
