After 28 days of Ligue 1, Angers is still engaged in the race for Europe. Currently classified ninth, the Scoïstes are only 5 points behind RC Lens, fifth. Thus, a victory against the Forez club would only fuel the European hopes of the SCO!
As for Saint-Etienne, Europe has definitely been wiped out. Sixteenth, the Stéphanois will surely be satisfied with a maintenance this season. With 10 days from the end of the championship, ASSE is only 5 points ahead of the jump-off and intends to increase this total at the end of the 29th day.
Back to 4-2-3-1?
To thwart the 3-4-1-2 of FC Metz 10 days ago, the Angevins had aligned a 5-4-1 which had worked well in view of the final result (1-0). But against Saint-Etienne, Stéphane Moulin could return to 4-2-3-1, as had been the case against Club Franciscain in the Coupe de France (5-0).
The probable composition : Bernardoni – Bamba, Traoré (cap.), Thomas, Doumbia – Coulibaly, Amadou – Pereira Lage, Fulgini, Boufal – Diony.
The absents : Alioui, Cabot, Cho, Ebosse.
Modest return?
Left on the bench against RC Lens for the benefit of Charles Abi, Anthony Modeste could find the tip of the Stéphane attack. Mathieu Debuchy, suspended, and Romain Hamouma, injured, will not be in the game, announced Claude Puel at a press conference.
The probable composition : Moulin (cap.) – Sissoko, Moukoudi, Cissé, Trauco – Gourna-Douath, Camara, Neyou – Nordin, Modeste, Bouanga.
The absents : Debuchy, Hamouma, Mason.
