Strasbourg vs Lille Predicted Lineups

Strasbourg Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Mats Sels; Frédéric Goreczky, Abakar Sylla, Diego Saliou, Valentin Barco; Ismaël Doukouré (if cleared), Andrey Santos; Guela Doué, Sebastian Nanasi, Dilane Bakwa; Emanuel Emegha.

Coach Liam Rosenior boasts near-full strength post-international break, with Emegha back from hamstring woes to lead the line. However, Saïdou Sow remains sidelined by cruciate ligament tear until mid-2026, Maxi Oyedele nurses a muscle strain, and Karl-Johan Johnsson's wrist fracture persists. Ismaël Doukouré could return from suspension, bolstering midfield steel.

Lille Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Lucas Chevalier; Thomas Meunier, Bafodé Diakité, Alexsandro, Lucas Perraud; Benjamin André, Rémy Cabella; Jonathan David, Hakon Haraldsson, Edon Zhegrova; Olivier Giroud.

Paulo Fonseca fields a potent unit, with Giroud's veteran nous key up top. Absences hit hard: Ousmane Touré's cruciate tear rules him out long-term, Nabil Bentaleb battles a nagging injury, and Ngal Ayel Mukau sits with a muscle issue. Marc-Aurèle Caillard (elbow) and Alexsandro (dead leg, doubtful) test depth, but Haraldsson's creativity shines through.
