Troyes vs Lorient Prediction & Tips
Three consecutive goalless defeats have Troyes on the precipice of the relegation zone, and the Ligue 2 champion from last season will be aware that he has a difficult season ahead of him if he wants to avoid an immediate relegation to the second division of football. French. This clash against Lorient pits the two lowest-scoring teams in the division (both averaging 0.87 goals per game), so this is Troyes’ chance to end their current losing streak.
Three consecutive victories in head-to-head matches between the two teams – all without conceding goals – show that this match is favorable for Troyes, but this is an unpredictable team at home as their only home win occurred against Nice, while their last match at this venue saw him lose against St Étienne, last classified in the division.
Lorient are betting on local talent this season, as only Rennes have had more French players this Ligue 1 season than the whole of the south coast of Brittany (17). So far this has not paid dividends, since they register a streak of eight games without a win for the start of this match (E3, P5), which means that the visitor could be surpassed in the table of positions by Troyes if they lose this commitment.
This is a possibility for Lorient as they make this trip as the only team in the division that has not won away from home (E4, P4). There is a clear reason why this happens and it has to do with what happens in the second half. Lorient have dropped nine points after going into halftime with an advantage or drawing on the scoreboard on rival soil this season in Ligue 1 – the highest amount in the division – and otherwise they would be ranked third in the “ away table ”from Ligue 1.
Players to watch: If Troyes start on the right foot it will surely be thanks to Mama Baldé, as his last two goals were recorded in the first half and contributed to victories. However, if Lorient want to be noticed before the break it could be up to Armand Laurienté, as his last three goals in Ligue 1 served to open the scoring in the first 20 minutes of play.
Highlight: Only one of Troyes’ home games this season did not record goals at halftime.
