📋 Team News: FC Lorient

It seems likely that Les Merlus should opt for a 3-4-2-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Yvon Mvogo, Bamo Meite, Montassar Talbi, Abdoulaye Faye, Theo Le Bris, Noah Cadiou, Jean-Victor Makengo, Arsene Kouassi, Pablo Pagis, Dermane Karim and Bamba Dieng.

📋 Team News: Paris FC

Paris FC manager Antoine Kombouaré has some current player fitness concerns. Julien Lopez (Back injury), Pierre-Yves Hamel (Calf injury), Hamari Traoré (Knee injury), Jean-Philippe Krasso (Knee injury), Vincent Marchetti (Back injury), Tuomas Ollila (Calf injury) and Ilan Kebbal (Dead leg) will miss out on this game. Rudy Matondo will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We reckon that PFC could decide to utilise a 4-3-3 lineup, starting the game with Kevin Trapp, Adama Camara, Diego Coppola, Mamadou Mbow, Nhoa Sangui, Marshall Munetsi, Pierre Lees-Melou, Maxime Lopez, Jonathan Ikone, Ciro Immobile and Moses Simon.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, Paris FC may not find it easy to get anything against this FC Lorient team who we think should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

That’s why we have predicted a very even contest with a 1-0 victory for FC Lorient when the full-time whistle blows.
