Jaka Bijol picked up his fifth booking of the campaign last week and will serve a suspension here. Martín Payero and Alexis Sánchez remain sidelined with injuries and will play no part here.
The Grifone have avoided defeats in their last three league outings and will look to continue that unbeaten streak here. They are unbeaten in their last five games in this fixture and are strong favorites.
Patrick Vieira has called up a 25-man squad for this match. Ruslan Malinovskyi, Caleb Ekuban, and Koni De Winter have been left out on account of injuries.
