Very clever who can predict with certainty the starting lineup of the Greens against Stade de Reims. The Norwegian coach gave some information in a pre-match press conference. The Greens will play with four at the back, we can expect to find a pattern quite close to that of Olivier Dall'Oglio since Horneland likes to play in a 4-3-3 system.
No doubt in the goals, since Gautier Larsonneur was named captain by his new coach. He will be in the ASSE cages. Back from injury, Mickaël Nadé should form the central hinge in the company of Dylan Batubinsika. On the sides, we should find Dennis Appiah et Leo Petrot.
In the midfield, Pierre Ekwah should be associated again with Benjamin Bouchouari et Louis MoutonunlessAimen Moueffek is preferred to the native of Saint-Étienne. In the offensive sector, there are not many solutions. Zuri Davitashvili seems indestructible, Augustine Boakye could make his return and Lucas Stassin is the only option up front with the very young Djylian N'Guessan who made his first appearance in the professional group at the age of 16.
While waiting for the arrival of new recruits, the change should mainly be in the way of running the game, more than in the tactical scheme or the players. Eirik Horneland once again stressed in a pre-match press conference his desire to offer a forward-looking game with significant pressure on the opponent.
