A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and 18th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Ayema and Soleil should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
