Auxerre – Stade rennais: the probable compo of Stéphan
As against Le Havre, Julien Stéphan will continue over time with a system of 4 defenders, with changes expected in the eleven.
Stade Rennes changes direction, once again. After a 4-4-2 diamond, a flat 4-4-2 then a 3-4-3 used during 5 matches, the SRFC returned to a system with four defenders, a 4-3-3 or 4-1 -4-1 against Le Havre, with 5 offensive players. There should be one less against Auxerre on Sunday, away against an opponent in great form at home.
Uncertainty reigns around striker Andres Gomez, victim of a shock in training, and who did not train on Friday. On the right wing, Blas and Gronbaek are applying to replace him which should bring an additional midfielder into the eleven, probably Azor Matusiwa.
In defense, Alidu Seidu is suspended and Mikayil Faye has not trained all week, injured in the adductor muscles against Le Havre. Leo Ostigard should therefore be relaunched alongside Christopher Wooh.
The probable compo (in 4-3-3): Mandanda – Assignon, Ostigard, Wooh, Truffert – Gronbaek, Matusiwa, Kamara – Blas, Kalimuendo, Jota
