Bordeaux have decided to start with two strikers in attack as they welcome Lorient in Ligue 1 this evening, with both Thomas Toure and Diego Rolan leading the line.
The frontmen will be backed by a four-man midfield that features the attacking presence of Nicolas Maurice-Belay and Wahbi Khazri, while captain Lamine Sane will shore his side up from the back.
Visiting Lorient have also gone with two outright strikers, with the in-form Jordan Ayew linking up with fellow target man Benjamin Jeannot.
The away side will work with a 3-5-2 formation, which sees the use of two wing-backs getting beyond midfielders Maxime Barthelme, Walid Mesloub and Mehdi Mostefa.
Bordeaux: Carrasso; Mariano, Pallois, Sane, Poundje, Sertic, Plasil, Khazri, Rolan, Toure, Maurice-Belay
Lorient: Lecomte; Kone, Le Goff, Guerreiro, Lautoa, Gassama, Mostefa, Mesloub, Barthelme, Ayew, Jeannot
