Matz Sels had missed out on last week's win in Metz with COVID-19 and remains a doubt here. Jean-Eudes Aholou recovered to come off the bench in that match, and could also be an option for the hosts in midfield. Gerzino Nyamsi and Anthony Caci are also fit again, giving Julien Stéphan a few less selection headaches. Save Ambroise Oyongo, the visitors are relatively unaffected by AFCON, and could look to steal march on a direct opponent for the European places. Mihailo Ristic scored the winner in La Paillade's last match, in the Coupe de France, meaning only long-term absentees Estève and Mendes are otherwise unavailable.
