OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Troyes's two home games in the Ligue 2 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stade de l'Aube.

The Troyes coach Kisnorbo and his pawns return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Annecy (placed 14th). Ndiaye was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.32 out of 10. The defender Ndiaye won 8 of 10 duels.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Quevilly Rouen that ended 2-2.

There will be little rest for Troyes after this match as they are travelling to Rodez for a Ligue 2 game in only two days.

Auxerre form and stats

The seven points Auxerre have gathered from their first three away trips in the Ligue 2 is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.

There were no winners in Auxerre's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs Pau (placed 10th). Onaiwu got a match rating of 8.03 in that game, top player of the team. Onaiwu scored one goal, hit two key passes and had 29 successful passes (of 33 total).

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Grenoble Foot 38.

After this away game Auxerre return home for a Ligue 2 game against Annecy. That game is only two sleeps after this.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Auxerre alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (10 from 3 played). Auxerre's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

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