AS Saint-Etienne and Rodez face each other for the second pre-playoff of Ligue 2 on the path to the elite, this Friday (8:30 p.m.). Here is the expected composition for the RAF.
After a completely crazy scenario against Paris FC (2-2, 3-2 tab), Rodez is back at it again with the ambition of bringing down an ogre of this Ligue 2: AS Saint-Etienne. “ We experienced very strong emotions this Tuesday, but I told my players to switch quickly, to be ready tomorrow“, explained Didier Santini.
“Beating Paris FC was a huge challenge, winning at Saint-Etienne will be even bigger but we know that we will be able to count on our supporters present in large numbers. With our 1000 supporters and those of ASSE, we know that there will be a great atmosphere at the stadium, it will be a great celebration for our great championship.”
A very short recovery time for Rodez
Santini approaches this pre-bar without the slightest complexion: “We are Rodez, we must play with our strengths and our principles as we have been doing since the start of the season. I asked those who missed their shot on goal if they were ready to withdraw, they told me yes. So I told them that I trusted them and that they could withdraw whenever they wanted. »
The technician should make strong choices for this crucial match. Deprived of goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi, Didier Santini will assess the state of fatigue (physical and emotional) of his major players to concoct a daring eleven. Hountondji is expected in attack alongside Corredor in a 3-5-2 system.
The expected composition for Rodez: Jaouen – Danger, Raux Yao, Mambo – Sylla, Haag, Taïbi, Rajot, Abdallah – Corredor, Hountondji.
