Troyes vs Paris FC
France – Ligue 2
Date: Friday, 8th February 2019
Kick-off at 19.00 UK/ 20.00 CET
Venue: Stade de l’Aube (Troyes).
The team from Troyes is making headlines with their attacking style of play. Troyes has won four out of last five matches at home. They scored plenty of goals in these matches, scored 1.4 goals per match. Rui Almeida’s team will be very hard to beat at their home. But their away form is one of the worst in the league.
Kevin Fortune is the star attraction of the home side, as he already scored 8 and assisted another six. Creating chances and playing through ball are the major strengths possessed by the home team.
Paris FC is trying to regain their lost pride and want to make a name for them. They always play under the shadows of PSG and want to change that status quo by winning this year’s Ligue 2. This has been a wonderful season for the away side, losing only 4 games this season.
MehmedBazdarevic and his boys are one of the best defensive units in entire Europe, conceding 0.52 goals per match. The back four has been very solid and their midfield players often come to the rescue of their defense.
The current form of home side is very much assuring them of the victory. Away side is one of the best defensive units in the league. But a late goal from the home side will put the game into bed, as their forwards are going through a purple patch.
Both teams will be very cautious about the start. In the first half, they will try to find the weak spot of the opposition and play compact football. The scenario will be different in the next half as the home side will go all out and score late goals to win the game.
