United are one of several Premier League clubs weighing up whether to meet Bologna’s €25m (£21.7m) valuation for Jhon Lucumi, according to Corriere di Bologna.

BS Bouhajla head into the contest positioned 19th in the Ligue 2 standings, while Sporting Ben Arous arrive sitting 13th. Consistency has eluded BS Bouhajla in recent weeks, with LDWLW in their last five and a win rate of 33.33% that tells of an up-and-down campaign. The visitors have been a mixed bag on the road, DWLDL in their last five and a win rate of 33.33% reflecting their unpredictability. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — BS Bouhajla average 0.67 per game to Sporting Ben Arous's 2, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them.

Despite the home advantage enjoyed by BS Bouhajla, the weight of evidence favours Sporting Ben Arous — a 1-2 away win is the call. Whatever the outcome, the Ligue 2 fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. A more central role appears likely given the sale of Youri Tielemans to Manchester United and the anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered by Amadou Onana at the World Cup.
