The teams
Two surprises in the starting lineup decided by Cris. The striker on loan from Stade Rennais, Wilson Samaké, is the starter and should occupy the forefront of the attack in place of Mamadou Diallo left on the bench. Tyron Tormin, who played with the reserves a week earlier, will also probably start the match in the left lane.
In Villefranche, Cris' son, Vinicius Gomes, also starts, as does former Castelroussin Kevin Fortuné who played for US Orléans last year.
Villefranche : Péan (cape) – Negoaui, Gomes, Monzago – Sergio, Joly, Charpentier, Bastian – Fortuné – Doucouré, Diakité.
Substitutes: Lunardi (g), Amougou, Petchy, Boron, Sofiane,.
Coach: Combarel.
Berrichonne : Konaté – Agounon, Magnora, Mbengue, Colella – Pires (head), Chraibi, Cervantes – Versini, Samaké, Tormin.
Substitutes: Cognard (g), Pierre, James, Clairicia, Diallo.
Coach: Cris.
Pre-match
For his second match at the head of Berrichonne, the Brazilian Cris almost returns home since he lives half an hour from the Armand-Chouffet stadium. Coach Castelroussin knows this Villefranche-sur-Saône team well, especially since his son, Vinicius Gomes, plays there.
With an unfortunate series of red cards, Berrichonne is deprived of two defenders for this meeting, Wandji and Umbdenstock are suspended.
