Ionut Radu, Rayan Raveloson, Jubal, Julian Jeanvier, Akim Zedadka, Han-Noah Massengo, Birama Toure, Kenji-Van Boto, Gauthier Hein, Gaetan Perrin, and Nuno da Costa are possible starters for AJA in a 3-4-2-1 configuration.
The Nantes manager, Antoine Kombouaré, has no fitness concerns whatsoever going into this game because he has a completely injury-free roster to choose from.

We believe Nantes are dangerous enough to get through this AJ Auxerre lineup’s defense, however it might not be as many as the goals that they could allow.
