Ajaccio coach Fabrizio Ravanelli has persisted with Adrian Mutu in attack for this evening's clash with Valenciennes despite the Romanian striker failing to find the net in eight appearances.

Dennis Oliech once again starts on the bench as 20-year-old Ivorian Gadji Tallo, on loan from Roma, is chosen to partner the former Chelsea man.

Anthony Le Tallec is on the bench for the visitors, as coach Ariel Jacobs opts for Gregory Pujol as the lone striker and packing the midfield.

Ajaccio: Ochoa, Tonucci, Zubar, Crescenzi, Andre, Diarra, Mostefa, Lasne, Pedretti, Mutu, Tallo

Valenciennes: Penneteau, Angoua, Ciss, Kagelmacher, Mater, Ducourtioux, Doumbia, Da Silva, Melikson, Dossevi, Pujol
