It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Troyes, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.

It's no vacation for neither Nice nor Troyes as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Nice form and stats

The story so far in the Ligue 1 for Nice at their home stadium (Allianz Riviera) is 8 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

Nice lost their last game at Monaco (placed 5th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Benítez had a busy but productive day in the Monaco match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Defender Daniliuc got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.43/10. Daniliuc won 4 of 6 duels.

Ahead of that match, Nice won a home game hosting Lorient (2-1).

The Nice fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 16 matches.

Troyes form and stats

Troyes have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 4-2-10 (16 played).

Troyes's previous game was their home loss versus Clermont (0-1). Defender Conté was the best team player with a rating of 7.65. Conté hit three key passes and won 5 of 6 duels.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Strasbourg.

The attacking power of Troyes when travelling is not overwhelming with 15 goals scored from 16 league matches away. Troyes's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 30 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
