Troyes v Nantes: Ligue 1 Action on Match-day 28

Ligue 1 action on Saturday as Troyes and Nantes meet at Stade de l’Aube – 9:00pm GMT.

Nantes (sixth), travel to Stade de l’Aube with high expectations, as they take on sixteenth placed Troyes.

Troyes arrive at this meeting, having secured 25 points so far this season

It was three points secured for Troyes in their last fixture, beating Bordeaux 0-2 at the Matmut Atlantique Stadiums.

Also, Troyes have now lost nine of their last 15 games, a worrying statistic that has to be addressed by Manager Bruno Irles. They currently stand sixteenth in the League, with 25 points for a total of 6 wins, 14 losses and 7 draws having won six meetings, drawn seven matches, and lost 14 meetings.

Troyes have won two meetings, drawn six games, and lost five matches of their 13 League matches at home this season.

Troyes will see 28 points so far this season, should they secure a win.

Troyes are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Bruno Irles is concerned that Saturday’s fixture could see him without seven of his key players.

This season’s Ligue 1 campaign, has so far seen Nantes achieve 42 points

Montpellier were beaten 2-0 at the Stade de la Beaujoire, the last time that Nantes played.

Also, Nantes keep finding ways to win, having secured seven victories in their last 11 meetings is astonishing this season. With 42 points (12W, 9L and 6D), they are established in sixth position in the League having won 12 fixtures, drawn six games, and lost nine matches.

With a poor record on the road, which amounts to three wins, four darts, and six defeats, it is hard to predict a positive outcome for Nantes as they travel once more.

Victory for Nantes would take their points tally to 45 so far this season.

Antoine Kombouare will be forced to make changes to the plans for his squad, as injury or illness has depleted him of four of his Nantes players.
