Lille welcomes Nantes on behalf of the 2nd day of Ligue 1, this Sunday (1 p.m.). Here is the probable composition of LOSC.

After snatching a draw in the last seconds, in Nice, for the curtain raiser of this 2023-24 season, LOSC will be eagerly awaited for their second outing, this Sunday. The formation of Paulo Fonseca challenges an FC Nantes already in difficulty. The northern club therefore hopes to sign a first success during this new exercise. Considered one of the credible outsiders in the championship, LOSC has what it takes to monopolize the top of the table before projecting itself into European fixtures.

For this league match, Fonseca should still do without his summer reinforcement Samuel Umtiti. On the way back, the 2018 world champion should rather be operational against the Croatian club Rijeka, Lille’s opponents in the Europa League Conference play-offs.

Umtiti too fair?

Lille should therefore present themselves in a fairly classic eleven with its usual animation, a pattern articulated in 4-2-3-1. The irremovable Jonathan David will be lined up on the front of the attack. The Canadian striker should be supported by Zhegrova, Cabella and Haraldsson, while André and André Gomes are expected in midfield.

The expected composition of Lille : Chevalier – Tiago Santos, Diakité, Alexsandro, Ismaily – André, Angel Gomes – Zhegrova, Cabella, Haraldsson – David
