Angers predicted XI v Reims: Estéban Lepaul out | OneFootball

SCO Angers host Stade de Reims on Tuesday with a place in the Coupe de France semi-finals at stake. However, Les Scoïstes must do without top-scorer Estéban Lepaul for the encounter.

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.
