Strasbourg predicted XI vs Lille: Diego Moreira’s unfamiliar role and Djordje Petrovic’s second appearance

RC Strasbourg travel to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy this afternoon to face an out-of-form Lille OSC who slumped to their fourth defeat in a row during their trip to face Sporting CP in the Champions League on Tuesday. 

Liam Rosenior will be hoping that his Le Racing side can take advantage of Lille’s misery to bounce back after a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to newly promoted Angers SCO. The English manager will make no changes to the personnel that lined up last weekend. 

Diego Moreira should continue in his unfamiliar role protecting the left side of the defence due to Caleb Wiley’s injury. In goal, Petrovic will make another start for Strasbourg after he made his debut against Angers, the Chelsea loanee is expected to become the starting goalkeeper during his temporary stay.
