RC Lens — GW 7 · 21–24 Aug

Season opener, facing an old acquaintance: Will Still!! Keeper: Risser Defense: Antonio's suspension following his red card at the Trophée des Champions, plus Baidoo's injury, already creates some doubt in the defense. To not deprive ourselves of Udol at left-back, I'm putting Aguilar as DNP, like in the second half against Paris. Abdelhamid is doubtful on his end. Skoras would be the replacement option. Midfield: I think Titraoui has earned his place as a full-time starter. Rotation will come between Bulatovic and Cuisance. Against a less dominant team like Auxerre, I see Bulatovic starting. Attack: Edouard is fit. As for Hazard, he's served his suspension and is available.
