Troyes form and stats

Troyes have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 4-2-11 (17 played). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Troyes have lost on their last two travels.

Impressive finishing from Ugbo and Tardieu (2) secured the home win 3-0 against Lille in their previous game. Midfielder Tardieu was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 9.01. Tardieu scored two goals, hit one key pass and had 49 successful passes (of 54 total).

Prior to that match, the Troyes manager Irles faced defeat when travelling to Nice and losing 0-1.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Troyes as they have only managed to score 15 times from 17 away games in the league. Troyes's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 31 goals from these trips.
