It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just a single fitness concern for the Angers SCO manager Alexandre Dujeux to be concerned with due to a largely intact group. Joseph Lopy (Ankle injury) is sidelined.

It seems likely that Les Scoïstes may well line up in a 5-3-2 formation, beginning the first half with Samuel Radlinger, Christopher Mamengi, Theo Barbet, Joey Jacobs, J. Ritmeester van, Yoann Cathline, Stije Resink, Peer Koopmeiners, Alvaro Pena, Kornelius Hansen and Rajiv van La Parra.
