Strasbourg predicted XI v Nantes: Chelsea loanee David Fofana starts, Joaquín Panichelli benched | OneFootball

RC Strasbourg Alsace travel to FC Nantes this evening in search of their first win in the league since they defeated Olympique Lyonnais on the 22nd of February. Since the win over Lyon, Strasbourg have been held to three successive draws, the latter two goalless stalemates against struggling AJ Auxerre and Paris FC. 

A mixture of their barren run in the league and their midweek commitments to the UEFA Europa Conference League will likely lead to Gary O’Neil making some surprising changes. Top scorer Joaquín Panichelli could be left on the bench with Chelsea loanee David Fofana starting up front. 

Maxi Oyedele’s return from an injury that has kept him out for much of his debut season looks to be complete, with the Salford-born Polish international set for his first start for the club, replacing Samir El Mourabet.
