Game week two of the Ligue 1 campaign and the squads have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Troyes - Toulouse preview:

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Troyes form and stats

The previous season, Troyes's league results were 9 wins, 11 draws and 18 losses, ending with 15th position in the Ligue 1. During these 38 matches they scored 37 goals and let in 53. Appearing as the home side in the last season Troyes generated 5-7-7 (win-draw-lost) with 19 goals and 19 conceded.

Troyes are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Montpellier. Baldé, an attacker, was the highest rated performer for the team in that fixture, earning a rating of 7.82 (out of 10). Baldé scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with Lorient the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Troyes perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Troyes as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Troyes has won 5 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Toulouse form and stats

Let's have a look at how Toulouse performed last season in the Ligue 2: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 23 victories, 10 draws and 5 defeats. In total they scored 82 and conceded 33 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 6 and lost 4 with 30/19 goals scored/conceded.

Toulouse's last game was the home draw against Nice (1-1). Midfielder den Boomen was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.5. Boomen served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 39 successful passes (of 45 total).

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Ajaccio's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Toulouse playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 1 Toulouse win, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Troyes zero wins, five draws and Toulouse five victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.
