Emerson is expected to return at left-back after not playing against Sturm Graz, while Nayef Aguerd, who has started four of his last five matches, is preferred to Geoffrey Kondogbia in central defence. Amine Gouiri should lead the attack, supported by Himad Abdelli, Amine Harit and Igor Paixão.

Elias Jelert remains out with a thigh injury after starting three of Le Havre's last five matches. Timothée Pembélé is also unavailable with a muscle problem, while Mouhamed Ndiaye and Lamine N'Diaye remain alternatives for another defensive place.
