Asse will head to Boulogne-Sur-Mer to face the USBCO on the third day of Ligue 2, hoping to replicate the brilliant performance of their 4-0 win over Rodez. Coach Eirik Horneland should be able to rely on a composition similar to that used in the previous match, with almost all players available. However, Dennis Appiah is again absent, replaced by Strahinja Stojkovic, while Djyliian N的Guessan and Benjamin Bouchouari remain a package. Maxime Bernauer’s return, injured since the beginning of the season, is expected, while Pierre Ekwah and Yvann Mason continue their recovery work outside the field.

The Stéphanois defence should remain relatively unchanged, with João Ferreira on the right and Mickaël Nadé alongside Chico Lamba in the centre, despite a mixed performance in Laval. Ebenezer Annan should confirm his tenure on the left. In the middle of the field, the usual trio composed of Mahmoud Jaber, Florian Tardieu and Aïmen Moueffek is expected, with Jaber in sentinel position. In attack, Augustine Boakye, at the head of the championship’s decisive passes, should occupy the right, while Zuriko Davitashvili will be in charge of the left wing.

In attack, Joshua Duffuss should not start, and Lucas Stauss should get his first tenure since April. Horneland also has solutions on the bench, such as Luan Gadegbeku to manage play time. The team hopes to continue its positive offensive dynamic, after shining in the match against Rodez. Captain Gautier Larsonneur, who made his first clean sheet of the season against Rodez, will seek to maintain this performance during the trip to Hauts-De-France.
