This will be the home team’s initial match in the current season, having finished the last one in 10th place. They come into this match after a narrow victory against Amiens SC (1-0). In their last 10 home fixtures across all competitions, Troyes has secured 4 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses. Their attack has been consistently scoring, netting in 8 of those matches. However, in their 20 home games, a trend for low-scoring encounters is evident, with 10 of them yielding fewer than 1.5 goals. In 15 matches where they conceded the first goal, they were unable to turn the score around in 6 of them.
Last season’s performance wasn’t ideal for Troyes, finishing in the mid-table of the Ligue 2 standings. They understand the importance of starting off strong in this campaign, and a determined approach is expected in this match. Playing at home, they will aim to assert dominance and look to find the net early. Securing a victory will provide valuable momentum as the competition unfolds.
