Composition

Ligue 1 is gradually catching up. The day after the Olympico between OM and OL (3-0), which was postponed on October 29 due to the stone crushing of the Lyon coach near the Vélodrome, it was the match between Brest and Strasbourg which will finally be played this Thursday evening (8:30 p.m.), at the Francis-Le Blé stadium. A meeting to follow live on Prime Video.

Initially scheduled for November 12, this poster of the 12e day had been rescheduled due to the passage of storm Ciaran, which had damaged the Breton enclosure with 15,000 seats. Since then, the Brestois have found color, with two consecutive victories in Montpellier (1-3) and against Clermont (3-0) which allowed them to climb to seventh place in the ranking.

In the event of another success against Racing, Eric Roy’s players would do an excellent job since they would overtake Lens and Reims to move into the Top 5 of the championship. The Alsatians are in trouble. Fifteenth with a lead over Lorient, barrage, Patrick Vieira’s troops actually remain in seven matches without a victory. The crisis awaits.

The probable lineups for Brest-Strasbourg

The bad news for the Bretons is that they will host Strasbourg without their playing master, Pierre Lees-Melou. The valuable SB29 midfielder is suspended after receiving three yellow cards in ten matches, while Jordan Amavi is injured. In the Alsatian ranks, Karol Fila and Gerzino Nyamsi, also in the infirmary, will be missing.

Brest: Bizot – Lala, Le Cardinal, Brassier, Locko – Doumbia, Martin, Magnetti – Del Castillo, Satriano, Le Douaron

Strasbourg: Sels – Senaya, Perrin, Sylla, Delaine – Doukouré, Sissoko – Bakwa, Gameiro, Diarra – Mothiba.
