Deprived of Pierre Lemonnier (hamstring) and Donatien Gomis (recovery), Sylvain Ripoll will entrust, against Amiens this Friday, the reins of the central defense of En Avant Guingamp to young Matthis Riou and Sohaib Nair, who will came out very well in the victory in Laval on August 23 (1-0). Few surprises are expected otherwise since the usual starters are back such as Kalidou Sidibé in the middle or Jacques Siwe up front. In balance with Lenny Vallier at the left-back position, Lucas Maronnier should start on the bench.
On the Amiens side, Omar Daf has an almost complete squad since only the injured striker Ange Chibozo is missing.
