Bruno Genesio had to find reasons for stability and security in the four-man defense that he put in place against Strasbourg (3-3) despite the three goals conceded, often behind the back and from deep. With an additional week of work, we must hope that Lille will have been able to erase their weaknesses.
For the defense, the LOSC coach changes two elements: Meunier, who gives his place to Tiago Santos, undoubtedly giving a little more dynamism on the right side and Alexsando in place of Mandi. He renews the André-Andre-Gomes pair in recovery, while in attack, Sahraoui is preferred to Cabella for his fourth start of the season (3rd in L1).
LOSC absolutely must recover before hosting Real Madrid on Wednesday. With the return of Mbappé, Genesio will also have elements capable of holding or reversing a score (Bayo, Cabella, Mbappé in front, Mandi, Meunier, Bakker behind) with Bouaddi the last survivor of the defensive midfielders.
Le Havre – Lille, today at 7 p.m.
LOSC : Knight ; Tiago Santos, Diakité, Alexsandro, Gudmundsson ; André (c), André Gomes ; Zhegrova, Angel Gomes, Sahraoui ; David.
