📋 Team News: RC Lens

Wuilker Fariñez (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Gaël Kakuta (Muscle Injury) and Adam Buksa (Ankle Fracture) are not available for RC Lens manager Franck Haise.

It looks as if Les Artésiens will probably use the 3-2-2-2-1 formation this time featuring Brice Samba, Jonathan Gradit, Kevin Danso, Facundo Medina, P. Frankowski, Deiver Machado, Salis Abdul Samed, Seko Fofana, Florian Sotoca, David Costa and Ikoma Lois Openda.

📰 Team News: Brest

Owing to an otherwise healthy squad, there’s only a single fitness worry for the Brest manager Michel Der Zakarian to be concerned with. Steve Mounié (Heel Bone Injury) won’t be in action.

We’re of the thinking that Les Ty' Zefs seem most likely to elect for a 4-4-2 lineup, giving starts to Marco Bizot, Noah Fadiga, Brendan Chardonnet, Christophe Herelle, Lilian Brassier, Franck Honorat, Pierre Lees-Melou, Haris Belkebla, M. Youcef Belaili, Mathias Pereira-Lage and Irvin Cardona.

🔮 Prediction

For this match, we think that RC Lens will probably score at least once when they line up against Brest, who might well find it a difficult task to score themselves.

We reckon that it will be a fairly comfortable 2-0 winning score for RC Lens after 90 minutes.
