Team News: Toulouse
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the lone fitness concern for the Toulouse manager Carles Martínez Novell to be concerned about from an otherwise complete set of players. Rasmus Nicolaisen (Injury to the ankle) is out of contention.
In our view, Toulouse could employ a 3-4-3 formation for the game and select Guillaume Restes, Djibril Sidibe, Charlie Cresswell, Mark McKenzie, Aron Doennum, C. Casseres Jr., Vincent Sierro, Gabriel Suazo, Zakaria Aboukhlal, Joshua King and Yann Gboho.
📰
Team News: AJ Auxerre
AJ Auxerre manager Christophe Pélissier has multiple availability issues to deal with. Nathan Buayi-Kiala (Cruciate ligament injury) and Lasso Coulibaly (Cruciate ligament injury) miss out here.
We’re of the thinking that AJA seem likely to play in a 3-4-2-1 lineup by sending out Donovan Leon, Gabriel Osho, Jubal, Clement Akpa, Ki-Jana Hoever, Gideon Mensah, Elisha Owusu, Kevin Danois, Gaetan Perrin, Hamed Traore and Lassine Sinayoko.
💡
Prediction
We envisage that Toulouse look likely to create the chances to score more than once when they line up against AJ Auxerre, who will be up against it to get a goal of their own.
We’re therefore expecting to see a comfortable 2-0 victory for Toulouse after 90 minutes.
