Strasbourg analysis
Currently in 20th position, the home team has not won any points so far. In the 1st round, they lost at home against Angers SCO by (0‑2). In the following round, the final result was a defeat by (4‑2), against Paris Saint Germain. Curiously, this is a team that presents more positive results away than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 23 conceded, against 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 home defeats, with 11 goals scored and 23 conceded. Strasbourg has won 1, drawn 1 and lost 8 of the last 10 home matches. The team has conceded goals to its opponent in 9 of the last 10 matches, so their defense needs to improve, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have managed to score in 7 of the last 10 matches.
Strasbourg enters this match very unmotivated after a defeat, by 4-2, against Paris Saint Germain, thus adding the second setback followed in this Ligue 1: the team’s goals were scored by Ludovic Ajorque and Kévin Gameiro. The home club usually acts in a tactical system in 3-5-2, favoring a more offensive style of play, attacking through the side aisles. In this drawing, the two players responsible for occupying more advanced zones are Ludovic Ajorque and Kévin Gameiro, both being very competent in finishing. The home coach is likely to be without Alexander Djiku, suspended, as well as Lebo Mothiba and Moïse Sahi, who are both physically challenged.
Troyes Analysis
Currently in 19th position, the visiting team has not won any points so far. In the 1st round, they lost at home against Paris Saint Germain by (1‑2). In the following round, the final result was a defeat by (2‑0) against Clermont. This is a team that usually depends on the home factor, which is stronger when they play with the support of their supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with a total of 18 goals scored and 21 conceded. At home, they won 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats, with a total of 23 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Troyes has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as scored goals in 8 of the last 10 games.
Troyes enters this match after a setback, by 2-0, on the trip to Clermont Foot’s field, in a game counting for the second round of the French championship. The visiting club usually plays in a traditional 5-2-3, favoring quick transitions and attacks across the wings. In this drawing, the three most advanced men will be Renaud Ripart, Dylan Chambost and Yoann Touzghar. In midfield it is possible that Florian Tardieu and Rominigue Kouamé play, the latter being responsible for creating the offensive process. The visiting technician should not be able to count on Hyun-Jun Suk and Gabriel Mutombo as they are in the medical department.
