Struggling Ajaccio will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Troyes in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

These teams have little in common geographically as Troyes have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
