Troyes vs Nancy in Coupe de France preview: Key statistics and predictions

This looks to be an entertaining match with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well recovered since they last ran out on the pitch. Bring it on!

Troyes form and stats

Troyes was eliminated in the 8th round last season in the Coupe de France.

Troyes's results here at Stade de l'Aube in the Ligue 1 have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

Troyes's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Bordeaux. Midfielder Chavalerin was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.73 (out of ten) in that game. Chavalerin scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A Ligue 1 defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Lille.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Troyes's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played eleven games, won five matches, drawn three and lost three.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Troyes as they have a new game in only four days, a Ligue 1 match thankfully also at home. Brest are visiting.

The Troyes fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Troyes's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Nancy form and stats

Last season their Coupe de France adventure ended in the 8th round.

There's been little loot from Nancy's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 10 away games in the Ligue 2. Nancy only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws.

Two away games in a row for Nancy, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Nimes in the Ligue 2. The attacker Thiam got a match rating of 7.8 in that game. Thiam scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.

Prior to that match, the Nancy manager Pedretti faced defeat when travelling to Quevilly Rouen and losing 1-2.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Nancy playing away, we found five games. Results were one away win, zero draws and four home wins.

A new game in only three days for Nancy, the Ligue 2 home match versus Dijon. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nancy as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. Nancy struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 16 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - two - four (Troyes wins - draws - Nancy wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
