Auxerre

Paul Nardi is expected to continue in goal for Auxerre after making his first start in the last five matches at Le Havre, with Mamadou Diop — who had started the other four games in that run — still out of the side. Rémy Labeau Lascary remains sidelined by injury after three starts in the last five matches.

Elsewhere, Axel Tuanzebe is expected to keep his place at the back, and Auxerre's two advanced midfield roles are again likely to go to Naouirou Ahamada and Fredrik Oppegård. Cameron Archer and Danny Namaso, who have scored four and two goals respectively in the last five matches, are expected to continue in attack.

Le Mans

Adil Bourabaa faces a long spell out for Le Mans after the midfielder underwent ankle surgery this week, with his return not expected before 2027.

Noa Boissé is in line to continue in the back three ahead of Harold Voyer, who is doubtful with a thigh problem after starting each of the last five matches. Lucas Buadés and Daouda Traoré, both handed their first starts in that run last time out, are expected to keep their places, with Alexandre Lauray the alternative in midfield.
