It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Troyes and Niort.
Troyes form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stade de l'Aube as Troyes have scored 12 goals to get 17 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Ligue 2 are 5-2-0 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stade de l'Aube.
In their previous game, the manager L. Batlles led his Troyes to a defeat in the Ligue 2 match away at Nancy. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade de l'Aube. Before that, Troyes played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Caen.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Troyes matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, three draws and two defeats (from nine games).
There will be little rest for Troyes after this match as they are travelling to Grenoble Foot 38 for a Ligue 2 game in only four days.
The Troyes fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 7 league matches. Troyes are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade de l'Aube in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 7 matches.
Niort form and stats
3 wins, 0 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Niort, who have the most conceded goals (17) away in Ligue 2, playing as the away team in the Ligue 2 this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Niort have lost on their last two travels.
There were no winners in Niort's previous match, a Ligue 2 home game that ended 0-0 vs Grenoble Foot 38 (placed 1st). Before that, Niort secured a home win against Ajaccio with the score 2-0.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Niort playing away, we found five games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and three home wins.
A new game in only four days for Niort, the Ligue 2 home match versus Valenciennes. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Niort have scored 8 goals in 7 league games away. The Niort manager S. Desabre has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Troyes four wins, four draws and Niort two victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
