In a crucial match for Ligue 1 survival, Sochaux will host Evian-Thonon-Gaillard (ETG) at the Stade Bonal. The stakes are high, with the final ticket for Ligue 2 on the line. A draw will secure ETG’s place in Ligue 1 for another season.
Pascal Dupraz, the coach of ETG, has named a 21-player squad for this decisive encounter. However, there are concerns about the fitness of Youssouf Sabaly, who suffered a thigh strain in their previous match against Nice. Sabaly will undergo a late fitness test to determine his availability for the match.
On a positive note, the Congolese international Nsikulu is set to feature in the match, potentially providing the crucial difference for ETG.
Evian-TG Squad:
Goalkeepers: Hansen, Laquait, Durand
Defenders: Abdallah, Cambon, Sabaly, Mensah, Mongongu, Angoula
Midfielders: Sorlin, Koné, Tié Bi, Boccara, Bertoglio, Barbosa, Sougou, Wass
