Troyes form and stats

With {1 Ligue 1 wins}, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Troyes are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Troyes are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Lens. As you see from the result above, Troyes suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Gauthier Gallon had a busy but productive day in the Lens match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented. Midfielder Rominigue Kouame was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.32 (out of ten) in that game. Kouame hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 6 of 6 times and had 54 successful passes (of 59 total).

In the match before that, Troyes hosted Rennes and drew the game 2-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Troyes have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won five, drawn one and lost one.

The Troyes fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Troyes's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Ryad Boudebouz, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.04. Boudebouz hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.
