In general, coach Valérien Ismael plays in a 3-5-2, in which Cauley Woodrow and Conor Chaplin are the most offensive references of the team: the first athlete mentioned is the top scorer of this team, with 3 goals scored. It is important to highlight the quality of the offensive midfielder Dominik Frieser, an athlete who has great competence in organizing the offensive process. Out of this game due to injury will be Jordan Williams and Ben Williams.
