Ariel Jacobs takes charge of Valenciennes for just the second time, and makes two alterations following their draw at Rennes last time out.

Lindsay Rose and Maor Melikson both fail to make the squad, with Benjamin Brou Angoua and Opa Nguette taking their places.

Pascal Dupraz had opted for two changes to the Evian TG side that lost to Guingamp last weekend.

Kevin Berigaud and Clarck Nsikulu are both absent, so Eric Tie Bi and Cedric Barbosa come into the team.

Valenciennes: Penneteau; Angoua, Kagelmacher, Masuaku, Nery; Da Silva, Doumbia, Bahebeck, Dossevi; Le Tallec, NGuette

Evian TG: Hansen; Angoula, Cambon, Mongougu, Sabaly; Wass, Sorlin, Tie Bi, Barbosa; Benezet, Sougou
