Undefeated for nine games in Ligue 1, Lille will also play their third meeting in six days after Marseille (1-1) last Sunday and Lorient (3-1) Wednesday evening. Jocelyn Gourvennec chose to give playing time to Tiago Djalo on the right flank of the defense and to breathe Zeki Celik. The rest of the rearguard will be classic with Fonte and Botman in the center, Reinildo on the left side.
In midfield, Benjamin André returns from suspension and finds his place in the center alongside Renato Sanches, a sector of play where Onana is suddenly demoted to the bench. On the sides, Bamba will occupy his usual left flank while Weah, who has just returned from injury and who has not started since the victory in Rennes on December 1, will animate the right lane.
In attack, David and Yilmaz will be responsible for finding the opening. Lille can also count on its recruits on the bench to unblock the situation, with Kosovar Edon Zhegrova and especially Hatem Ben Arfa, who we imagine entering at the end of the match if the scenario allows it.
