This Sunday, the Aiglons begin their final sprint on the pitch of En Avant Guingamp. A victory would allow the Aiglons to continue their quest for fifth place.
The coach of En Avant, Antoine Kombouaré, is expecting a reaction from his group, who were defeated in Angers last week (3-0). To face the Aiglons, the Kanak has called up 18 players. Ikoko will serve his suspension during this 29th day of L1, while several players are forced to withdraw (Sorbon, Salibur, Petric, Camara, and Julan).
The Aiglons, who are on a run of 3 matches without a loss (2 draws, 1 win), will be playing without Mario Balotelli, who was injured against Lille. Christophe Jallet remains unavailable. However, recovered from his knee injury, Maxime Le Marchand rejoins the group for the first time since January 16th and the game at Monaco (2-2). Suspended against LOSC last Friday (2-1), Pierre Lees-Melou is also back.
