We know the team composition chosen by Jean-Louis Gasset for this opening match. On the list but still injured in the left ankle, Dortmund striker Sébastien Haller is out and replaced by former Stéphanois Jean-Philippe Krasso. For the rest, many well-known Ligue 1 players are aligned in the 4-3-3. Wilfried Singo (Monaco), Seko Fofana (ex-Lens) and Jonathan Bamba (ex-Lille) start in particular, as does Angers goalkeeper Yahia Fofana.
The Ivorian eleven : Fofana – Singo, Diamond, Ndicka, Konan – Sangaré, Kessie, Fofana – Bamba, Krasso, Boga
