RC Lens take on visiting rivals FC Lorient at Stade Bollaert-Delelis in their Ligue 1 clash on Friday, so let’s look at the latest injury news and predicted line ups.
RC Lens will be hoping to bounce back here following the 2-1 Ligue 1 losing effort in their last game against Marseille. In our view, Les Artésiens look set to use the 3-4-3 system this time and select Brice Samba, Jonathan Gradit, Kevin Danso, Facundo Medina, P. Frankowski, Nampalys Mendy, Neil El Aynaoui, Deiver Machado, Florian Sotoca, Elye Wahi and David Costa.
There is just a single fitness concern for the RC Lens manager Franck Haise to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust group. Jimmy Cabot misses out.
How RC Lens might line up versus FC Lorient
Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Toulouse in Ligue 1 competition, FC Lorient and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here. From our viewpoint, Les Merlus will likely utilise a 3-4-2-1 formation, choosing Yvon Mvogo, Isaak Toure, Nathaniel Adjei, Montassar Talbi, Panos Katseris, Laurent Abergel, Imran Louza, Benjamin Mendy, Badredine Bouanani, Julien Ponceau and Mohamed Bamba.
Owing to an otherwise available group, there is just the sole fitness worry for the FC Lorient gaffer Régis Le Bris to be concerned with. Quentin Boisgard (Metatarsal fracture) won’t be playing here.
