Defensive issues persist, as they have conceded first in each of their February league fixtures.
Joaquin Panichelli, their top scorer with 12 league goals, remains central to their hopes, while Guela Doue leads the assist charts. Injury concerns linger over Ismael Doukoure, Emanuel Emegha and Maxi Oyedele, potentially limiting rotation options.
