Strasbourg predicted XI v Reims: Habib Diarra returns, Sebastian Nanasi benched | OneFootball

Fresh off defeating Olympique Lyonnais last weekend 4-2, RC Strasbourg Alsace will hope to continue their pursuit of a Champions League place when they take on Stade de Reims away at the Stade Auguste-Delaune. Strasbourg have the chance of leaping from 7th to 4th if they can collect all three points.

Head coach Liam Rosenior’s options will be bolstered with the return of captain Habib Diarra to the midfield. He will slot back into his usual position alongside Chelsea loanee Andrey Santos, with Valentín Barco dropping back into the left of the defence after his recent appearances in the Strasbourg midfield.

Diego Moreira covered for Barco as the left-back last weekend, but he’ll likely take up a more advanced role as a winger against Reims with Sebastian Nanasi likely to be benched this afternoon.
