On October 17, Troyes will host Lens in the seventh round of Ligue 1 in the Stade de Lob stadium in the city of the same name. After a great season, Lance still can't find his game and today he has no right to lose to an outsider in Ligue 1. Troyes is in crisis and has suffered defeats in four rounds in a row. Will the guests be able to win after failing in the Champions League and which bets in the match should they pay attention to? You will find out the answer in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Troyes
Current form
Stephen Dumont's team is in crisis and has been defeated in four rounds in a row, and the squad is very weak by the standards of Ligue 1, and the team will have to fight only for survival. At this stage, the blues have only four points, occupy the intermediate penultimate place in the standings and are two points behind the saving line. In the last round, Troyes met with Marseille on his own field and could not provide proper resistance to the Provencal. The match ended with a score of 0:2, where two goals were conceded in the second half. It should be noted that the team scores very little (four goals), but has already conceded 13 goals, the worst result of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kone, Uzenaji, Bura and Titi will not play due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
Since the start of the championship, Troyes has conceded an average of two goals.
Lance played in the Champions League last week and couldn't win. In the home game against Sporting, the Blood-gold had possession of the ball 56% of the time, scored 21 shots on the Portuguese goal, but failed to realize their scoring chances. The match ended with a score of 0:2, where one goal was conceded in each of the halves. Thus, after two rounds, there are three points in the main European tournament, thanks to the comeback in the match against Slavia Prague (3:2).
In Ligue 1, Yannick Cahuzac's men are fighting in the middle of the standings and have been able to earn seven points since the start of the French championship, which corresponds to tenth place in the standings. In the last round, Lance completed a series of four matches without a win and was able to beat Lyon on his own field. The Blood-gold won 2-1, finished the match with ten, and only conceded a goal after being eliminated.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sima and Nawrocki will miss the game due to injuries, while Yudol is suspended.
Interesting betting trends
In 2 of Lance's last 5 games, a red card was shown in the second half.
The blood-gold in eight consecutive games in all tournaments are skipped in the second half.
The bookmakers put Lance as the favorite in today's meeting, but they don't believe in Troyes' victory at all. One cannot disagree with this, since the composition of the guests is more powerful, and Kayuzak's wards have much more experience. The Blues are in crisis, they lost in the last four rounds, and in the previous three matches they failed to score at all. Lance, after losing in the Champions League, will escalate the situation on the field and intends to act as the first number. In general, the blood-gold ones shouldn't have any big problems. We believe that today the guests will take advantage of the opponent's personnel problems and instability, which will lead to victory, and we will bet on it.
The prediction is that Lance will win with a coefficient of 1.85
It should be noted that in four of the past six matches, the Blues had no more than two goals, and we definitely won't see open football today. The visitors are excellent in attack and have scored eight goals in the last five matches in all competitions, while the opponent has failed to score in the last three games. We can assume that the blood-gold will play well in defense and will not break through the main total alone.
The betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.35
Betting on corners
The hosts will play indoor soccer and Lance will try to open up their defenses. In the last four of Troyes' six matches in the French championship, no more than nine corner kicks were served, and we believe that there will not be very many corners today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is less than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.80
