The visiting team typically employs a 3-4-3 formation, where the three most advanced players are Amine Gouiri, Mason Greenwood, and Hamed Junior Traorè. When they focus on offensive strategies, they usually exploit the right flank, taking advantage of the depth provided by fullback Timothy Weah. Given the tactical setup, one of the major strengths of the visiting team is their attacking style from the wings. All players are available for this match.
