This Wednesday, AS Saint-Etienne travels to Angers in Ligue 1. Discover the composition of the ASSE concocted by Pascal Dupraz with big surprises.
ASSE: Dupraz makes a strong choice in attack
Despite two victories in the Coupe de France against Lyon-La Duchère and Jura Sud, Pascal Dupraz draws up a balance sheet that is delicate to say the least, with still no points taken in the league in his 3 games played as a Saint-Etienne coach. This Wednesday, theAS Saint Etienne will have the opportunity to pick up the standings in this late match, postponed because of the Covid-19 at the beginning of the month, against an opponent within reach.
Author of an ambitious winter transfer window, ASSE will be able to count on several of its recruits against SCO Angers, including the two former Angevins Sada Thioub and Paul Bernardoni, who are both expected to start the game tonight. Strongly affected by CAN departures and the virus in recent weeks, Pascal Dupraz will nevertheless be able to count on two major returns to the workforce this Wednesday, that of Ryad Boudebouz (negative to Covid), announced midfielder and Denis Bouanga (back from CAN), who should start on the bench. The Savoyard coach decided, according to The Team, to leave the Gabonese to rest, preferring the rookie Bakary Sako in point, who had already played 45 minutes during the derby against OL.
Defense, weak point of Vers against Angers
Unfortunately for AS Saint-Etienne supporters, we will still have to wait to see the rookies evolve Joris Gnagnon and Eliaquim Mangala in the line of defence. Pascal Dupraz announced a group that was decimated to say the least, with only four professional defenders called up. What a glimpse of a rather fragile line, where Mahdi Camara will play the service firefighters at the right side position.
Probable composition of ASSE against SCO Angers:
Guardian : P.Bernardoni
Defenders: Y. Mason, T. Kolodziejczak, M. Nadé, M. Camara
Midfielders: A. Moueffek, L. Gourna-Douath, R. Boudebouz
Forwards: A. Nordin, B. Sako, S. Thiou
