Troyes – Stade Rennes: the probable line-up of Sampaoli
Without a real number 9, Jorge Sampaoli will have to adapt to face Troyes, against whom Stade Rennes is the favorite.
The transfer window is currently agitating Stade Rennes, but the Breton club will present itself well without a professional striker on Wednesday evening in Troyes. The Breton club must do without Arnaud Kalimuendo, who is out, and now Henrik Meister, who is on loan. Still on the attacking front, Jota is absent, and only Blas, Gouiri and Gronbaek, and even Gomez, remain.
If the young Meïté is in the group, seeing him start the match is currently unlikely. Gouiri could therefore well regain the forefront of the attack, which he has already occupied in the past in Nice in particular. Eager to field “the best team”, Sampaoli could therefore, in this logic of not making a rotation, bring Brice Samba back into the goals.
The probable compo (in 3-4-3): Samba – Hateboer, Ostigard, Wooh – Assignon, James, Matusiwa, Truffert – Gronbaek, Gouiri, Blas
