Stéphane Moulin’s Angers SCO will travel to the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium this Friday evening to open the 14th day of Ligue 1. The visitors, seventh in the championship and who remain on two consecutive successes, continue in their 4-2-3- 1 usual. Released on a stretcher on Sunday, against Lorient (2-0), Sofiane Boufal was replaced by Jimmy Cabot in the attacking trio in support of Stéphane Bahoken.
Opposite, Claude Puel is no exception to his 4-4-2. The starting lineup of the Greens, however, undergoes some changes compared to the draw acquired in Dijon (0-0). On the right side, Zaydou Youssouf gives way to Ryad Boudebouz, while Arnaud Nordin will evolve in attack next to Hamouma. The locals, fifteenth and unable to win a match since September 12, will however have to react to avoid seeing the red zone become a reality even before mid-season.
Team compositions:
Saint Etienne : Moulin – Debuchy, Moukoudi, Kolodziejczak, Trauco – Boudebouz, Camara, Neyou, Bouanga – Nordin, Hamouma.
