Troyes v Nice
France – Ligue 1
Date: Sunday, 1st April 2018
Kick off at 16:00 UK/ 17:00 CET
Venue: Stade de l’Aube (Troyes).
Troyes are 18th but a win should see the club out of the bottom three, but the problem for the club is that they are hosting Nice and obtaining all three points will not be easy.
Form for Troyes is very poor and they haven’t won a league game since 6 weeks. This has put added pressure on the club and they have been playing like a side who belong in Ligue 2 in recent months. At home the club the lost just 2-0 to PSG last time out and they have recorded a couple of wins last month when they were able to beat both Metz and Lille. Troyes have scored just 12 goals at home, only Nantes can equal that record.
Nice lost 2-1 to PSG last time out but the club have been in better form in the last few weeks. This has seen them climb the table and challenge for 5th place and a final European spot. Nice have lost 6 games from 14 away but did recently get a superb 5-2 victory at Guingamp.
Nice rarely win in Troyes even though they have had the better quality side. But this game for us is all about goals. Nice has shown many times in the last few months they are not afraid to throw men forward and go for the win. Troyes will fight hard too as they need all of the points. This is a good opportunity for us to capitalize on this game.
Both teams to score at 1.80
Nice to score 2+ goals at 2.40.
