The Angers arrive at this motivated match, after a 3-1 home victory against Bordeaux: Reine-Adélaide, Mathias Lage and Mangani scored the winning goals. The visiting team must play in a tactical system in 4-3-3 and must adopt a more defensive stance, with the objective of doing everything possible to avoid suffering goals caused by tactical errors.

Coach Stéphane Moulin should not be able to count on Fulgini, delivered to the medical department.
