Angers predicted XI v Reims: Estéban Lepaul out
Lepaul has been in top form of late but missed the draw to AS Saint-Étienne over the weekend. Suffering with an adductor injury, he will miss the game against Reims too. Ibrahima Niane and Bamba Dieng will compete for the No.9 position in his absence this evening.
There is, however, a returnee for Angers in the form of Jean-Eudes Aholou, who missed the weekend game through suspension. There may be changes at the back too with backup goalkeeper Melvin Zinga set to play, as he has throughout the Coupe de France, whilst Carlens Arcus and Emmanuel Biumla could also make returns.
Melvin Zinga; Jacques Ekomié, Jordan Lefort, Emmanuel Biumla, Lilian Raolisoa; Yassin Belkhdim, Jean-Eudes Aholou; Farid El Melali, Himad Abdelli, Jim Allevinah; Ibrahima Niane. (L'Éq)

Saint-Étienne's Ibrahim Sissoko joins Bochum
AS Saint-Étienne forward Ibrahim Sissoko (29) will leave the club upon the expiry of his deal at the end of this month to join German side VfL Bochum. Sissoko, one of the key players of Les Verts' promotion back to Ligue 1 in the 2023/24 season, featured less regularly last season. He notably missed a chunk of the season for a violent challenge in a Coupe de France fixture, whilst his minutes were also limited by the arrival of Lucas Stassin, brought in to lead the line. Advertisement Saint-Étienne, who have now dropped back into Ligue 2, have opted against extending the Malian's deal. He therefore leaves on a free transfer and he has immediately found a new club. He has joined Bochum, who will play their football in the Bundesliga 2 next season. The duration of his contract has not been revealed by the German club. At Sainté, Sissoko scored 16 goals in 53 appearances. GFFN | Luke Entwistle
