Troyes to Win or Draw
Playing at home, Troyes have drawn their previous five games and added two wins in the last ten fixtures. Nantes on the other side have not won any game playing on the road losing three and five draws.
Under 3 Goals
Recent games between Troyes and Nantes have been low-scoring ones. To illustrate, the last ten h2hs produced under 3.5 goals. According to the stats, there is a 66% possibility that we won’t see more than three goals in this encounter.
Correct Score Group Bet 0-0 or 1-0 or 0-1
This group of scores is the most frequent in the last years. In detail, four of the last five meetings between these clubs ended by one of these scores. With both teams being very close to each other at the bottom of the table, we predict a similar score in this game.
Troyes
With the 2-1 away defeat at Brest, Troyes have lost their last 3 away matches, bringing their winless run to 7 matches in the league. The team has drawn 4 of their last 8 matches in Ligue 1. Troyes are currently in the 13th position with 14th points.
Troyes have scored an average of 1.73 goals per game since the beginning of the season in the league. As for Troyes’ current form, the form statistics indicate an average number of goals scored per game of 1.88 in the last 8 league matches, which is 8.7% higher than their current season’s average.
Nantes
The eight-time French champions are wondering in the lower ranks of the Ligue 1 in recent years. With just two wins from 15 games, the Canaries are having their worst season in the last ten seasons. Last season was a good one though when they finished ninth overall.
However, since the start of the current campaign, Nantes have been struggling to find a winning form. They are averaging 0.75 goals per away game and have the worst away record with no wins to their account. On the other side, Nantes have conceded at least a goal in 13 of their 15 Ligue 1 fixtures.
Despite the fact that both teams are finding it hard to win, still Troyes are managing to avoid defeat in five games. The odds are quite high for a win and so is the risk as they both are unpredictable teams. Hence, we prefer to back a double chance of a home win or draw.
Backing Troyes with a 0 goal handicap lands you 1.75 times your stake at 1XBet. To justify, Troyes have been very hard to beat in recent games drawing with the likes of Rennes and Lorient who are performing very well this season. Hence we will back Troyes to cover the 0 goal handicap.
Mama Balde is Troyes’ leading scorer this season with seven goals. The 24-year-old forward player is having a great season with an average rating of 7.07. We predict Blade to have another fine game and even get on the scoresheet.
Moulin, Tardieu, and Azamoum are all injured for Troyes.
On Nantes’ side, da Silva, Petric, and Traore are the players on the injury list.
