Coach Ariël Jacobs will be pleased to have Majeed Waris back in action for the crucial fixture. The Ghanaian striker, who has been a key scorer for Valenciennes since the start of the second part of the season, was sidelined last weekend due to a thigh injury. However, with his return, Valenciennes hopes to capitalize on his goal-scoring prowess and secure three vital points in their battle for survival.
The Valenciennes squad for the match includes players like Novaes, Penneteau, Ciss, Kagelmacher, Lala, Masuaku, Mater, Medjani, Nery, Da Silva, Dossevi, Doumbia, Ducourtioux, Enza-Yamissi, Melikson, Bahebeck, Le Tallec, Nguette, Pujol, and Waris.
