The Ligue 1 meeting at Stade de la Meinau on Sunday will see hosts Strasbourg take on Metz, and we have the latest injury news and predicted line ups to hand.
Strasbourg will be hoping to return to winning ways here following the 3-1 Ligue 1 defeat in their last game at the hands of Havre AC. In all likelihood, Le Racing will probably use a 3-4-2-1 system this time featuring Alaa Bellaarouch, Marvin Senaya, Lucas Perrin, Abakar Sylla, Frédéric Guilbert, Ibrahima Sissoko, Andrey Santos, Thomas Delaine, Dilane Bakwa, Habib Diarra and Emanuel Emegha.
There’s just the lone fitness concern for the Strasbourg manager Patrick Vieira to contend with from an otherwise complete squad. Lebo Mothiba is out of contention.
Possible Strasbourg team against Metz
After a losing effort in their last game against Rennes in Ligue 1 competition, Metz and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. We are inclined to think that Les Grenats might elect for a 4-3-3 system, starting the game with Alexandre Oukidja, Maxime Colin, Ismael Traore, Christophe Herelle, Fali Candé, Arthur Atta, Lamine Camara, Kevin N'Doram, Ablie Jallow, Didier Lamkel Ze and Papa Diallo.
Thanks to a mainly healthy group of players, there is only the one fitness issue for the Metz manager László Bölöni to be concerned about. Ablie Jallow (Dead leg) misses out for this game.
