Players to Watch

Corentin Tolisso (Lyon)

Yassin Belkhdim (Angers)

Yassin Belkhdim will be looking to step up as the visitors are likely to give them a tough contest. The 23-year-old midfielder from Morocco can control the ball well in the midfield. He will also be looking to develop some more plays for his fellow teammates in the final third.
