The visiting Troyes side should be favourites in this visit to Pau, as the away team holds a 27 point advantage from their 20 league games this season.
- Pau has the most conceded goals in the first half (15) in Ligue 2
- Troyes have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It's no vacation for neither Pau nor Troyes as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Pau form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Ligue 2 this season. Pau have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Stade du Hameau. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Pau with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Sochaux game, 38 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Pau are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stade du Hameau, having lost their two previous games here.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Pau, who played 0-0 against Rodez (after extra-time, 7-8 on penalties). That match was also played at this venue (Stade du Hameau). Prior to that, an away loss at Rodez in the Ligue 2.
Pau have scored 8 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Pau have conceded 12 goals. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Troyes form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 2 travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Sochaux in the Ligue 2.
Troyes have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 12 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Troyes as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.
