Bruno Genesio notably starts his world champion Olivier Giroud at the forefront of the attack or the former Parisian Ethan Mbappé, scorer in the first leg, but not the Belgian Thomas Meunier.
Back from the CAN, Ngal’ayel Mukau and Aissa Mandi will start in the 11, respectively in the middle and in the hinge. In goals, Berke Ozer regains his starting place.
The 11th of Lille: Özer – Santos, Ngoy, Mandi, Perraud – Bentaleb, Bouaddi – Mbappe, Mukau, Haraldsson – Giroud.
