Player to watch: Andrey Santos
Andrey Santos initially joined Strasbourg on loan from Chelsea in February, and in 11 Ligue 1 assignments, he got on the scoresheet just once. Interestingly, the 20-year-old midfielder has impressed in his second loan stint with Strasbourg, as he has already scored twice in three appearances for the club this season. It will be interesting to see if Santos can add to his numbers as Strasbourg make the trip to Lille this weekend.
