Lille and Reims face each other this Tuesday for the 6th day of Ligue 1 (9 p.m.). Here is the expected lineup for LOSC.

This match between Lille and Reims will have a particular flavor for Paulo Fonseca since the Portuguese technician will experience his 50th meeting on the bench of the northern club. Arriving in the summer of 2022, Fonseca has been able to instill an attractive playing identity in the Mastiffs, but this team is sometimes weighed down by its lack of realism.

LOSC will, however, have to find the fault in a meeting which resembles a trap match, this Tuesday evening, against Reims. A match which was postponed this Tuesday (9 p.m.) due to the Rugby World Cup, which requisitioned the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

We know it will be a difficult match, perhaps one of the most difficultexplained Paulo Fonseca. They have a lot of good players, they have made a big investment for this season. They also have a good coach. Tactically, I think it will be very interesting. He prepares his matches well, we saw it when they played against us. I expect a difficult match, it will be a real tactical battle. Physically, they are also one of the strongest teams in the championship. »

Still deprived of Bentaleb, Djalo and Ounas, Fonseca should focus on continuity with a 4-2-3-1 animation carried by the immovable Jonathan David at the forefront. Other executives are expected at the kick-off of this match , like the goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, the Gomes-André pair in the midfield, and the playmaker Rémy Cabella.

The expected composition of Lille : Chevalier – Tiago Santos, Diakité, Umtiti, Ismaily – André, Gomes – Yazici, Cabella, Cavaleiro – David.
