Troyes form and stats

This stadium, Stade de l'Aube, has been a fortress for Troyes in the Ligue 2 so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 6-2-0. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Troyes, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

In their previous game, the manager L. Batlles led his Troyes to a defeat in the Ligue 2 match away at Grenoble Foot 38. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade de l'Aube. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Niort in a game that was won 1-0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Troyes as they are travelling to their away game against Dunkerque in the Ligue 2. That match is four days after this one.

A decent goal production from Troyes in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 8 league matches. From these home matches, Troyes have conceded only 5 goals.

Châteauroux form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Châteauroux so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-4 (win-draw-lose).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ligue 2 home defeat versus Clermont with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 1-1 draw at Rodez's stadium before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Châteauroux are hosting Guingamp in the Ligue 2 only four days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Châteauroux as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. 10 goals have been conceded by Châteauroux in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: seven wins for Troyes, zero draws and three wins for Châteauroux. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
