- 46' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 51' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Hugo Picard suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 61' Ado Onaiwu is replacing Issa Soumare for the AJ Auxerre side.

- 85' A tactical swap from En Avant Guingamp — Victor Lobry on, Amine El Ouazzani off on 85 minutes.
