Both teams have difficulty in recruiting players to defend. Several players of the defensive plan were eliminated from the system.
So, for Valenciennes today will not be able to play: defenders Geoffrey Kyuffo, Simcoe Niakate, Kama Khanum and holding midfielder Thiago Xavier.
Auxerre, who has similar problems in defense, went to this game without two defenders-Abdullah Bach and Kenny-van Boto.
