Troyes vs Nantes Match Preview

At Stade de l'Aube Troyes will host Nantes in France Ligue 1.

Troyes is currently in 13th place with 14 points won in 15 matches. They have scored 26 goals and allowed 31 so that is more than 3 goals scored per game on their matches and that is something that they will maybe need to fix because their defense is in the top 3 worst defenses in the league. Their form is also bad as they have no wins in the last 9 games with 4 losses and 5 draws. 

Nantes played two friendlies. They played 1:1 against Laval and lost 2:1 against Lorient. In my opinion, they are the better team here. Currently, they have 13 points with only 2 wins, 7 draws, and  6 losses. In the last 5 matches, they lost only once and they are favorites in this match but it won't be easy.

In friendlies, Troyes played a little bit differently, showing improvement in the defense. In these two games, the difference in approach was obvious. They played a 0:0 with Leicester and lost 1:0 to Paris FC. Last season, the home team won both matches 1:0 and 2:0. In their last 5 h2h matches, there were under 2.5 goals, and in total, 9 out of their last 10 h2h matches were a low-scoring affair. Both teams will try to start the second part of the season with a positive result, I'll stick with the low scoring here.
