  • 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 90' A tactical swap from ES Troyes AC — Eric N'Jo on, Rafiki Said Ahamada off on 90 minutes.
