🗞️ Team News: Strasbourg

The Strasbourg boss Frédéric Antonetti will be grateful not to have any fitness concerns at all before this clash owing to a fully healthy squad ready to go.

It’s our opinion that Le Racing will probably use a 3-5-2 system for the game with Matz Sels, Ismael Doukoure, Gerzino Nyamsi, Alexander Djiku, Colin Dagba, Morgan Sanson, Jean Aholou, Dimitri Lienard, Thomas Delaine, Kevin Gameiro and H. Mouhamadou Diallo.

📋 Team News: AJ Auxerre

Owing to an otherwise available squad, there’s just a single fitness issue for the AJ Auxerre gaffer Christophe Pélissier to contend with. Elisha Owusu (Hamstring contusion) misses out for this game.

We’re of the thinking that AJA could decide to make use of a 3-4-3 system, settling for Ionut Andrei Radu, Rayan Raveloson, Jubal, Souleymane Toure, Akim Zedadka, Han-Noah Massengo, Birama Toure, Gideon Mensah, Siriki Dembele, Matthis Abline and Gaetan Perrin.

💡 Prediction

AJ Auxerre should be able to put a goal past this Strasbourg outfit, however it is unlikely to be enough to avoid a loss.

Our selection here is for a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Strasbourg at the end of the 90 minutes. It’s a very tough call.
