First there are the absentees, Christopher Opéri and Josué Casimir (suspended), but also Arouna Sangante and Steve Ngoura (injured). But above all there are those present, those who will begin this bottom-of-the-table clash, this match of fear, between the two major patients of the moment. And to try to force the doors of a success that has been leaking at the HAC for six days now, Didier Digard has chosen to strengthen his starting “eleven”.
Ndiaye lined up at the start
An “eleven” at the head of which only André Ayew will take his place. So who is behind the Ghana international? Well a four-headed midfielder, with the expected Abdoulaye Touré, Yassine Kechta and Oussama Targhalline, and the surprise of the day, Rassoul Ndiaye, preferred to Daler Kuziaev. Finally, behind, Loïc Nego, relegated to the bench during the previous deadline, in Rennes (0-1), finds his place on the right flank, while on the left, Yanis Zouaoui will sign his second start of the season, the second L1 match of his career. And this, in a five-man defense.
The composition: Desmas – Salmier, Youte, Lloris – Nego, Kechta, Ndiaye, Touré (cap), Targhalline, Zouaoui – Ayew
