Lyon – Troyes : Preview & Prediction
We are heading to the Rhône-Alpes region and more precisely to the Groupama Stadium for the opening of the third day of Ligue 1 between Olympique Lyonnais and Troyes. With a game less following the postponement of the match against FC Lorient, the group trained by Peter Bosz has the opportunity to come back to the level of its competitors, while keeping a joker on hand for later. The victory is mandatory against the Trojans who have not taken any point since the beginning of the season. Humiliated at home by Toulouse (0-3), ESTAC has to react in order to avoid a new complicated evening.
Lyon and Troyes are not in the same league. The first team wants to finish on the podium at the end of the 38 games while the other one wants to be maintained as soon as possible. Despite a small scare against Ajaccio, OL has succeeded in its debut by showing great promise in the game, and will be expected by many observers. The last results against the blue and white team speak for themselves and the last victory of the visitors goes back to February 2007! Unless a feat, Renaud Ripart’s teammates should come back to Aube with zero points, especially if they perform like they did against TFC last Sunday.
Suspended for three games after a new dangerous exit, Anthony Lopes will be absent and replaced by Remy Riou or Julien Pollersbeck. Lacazette and Tagliafico should be present after a small muscle strain last week as well as Henrique (back from suspension) but Caqueret, Dembelé, Reine-Adélaïde and Faivre are still in the infirmary. Troyes’ squad is 98% complete. Only Abdu Conté is missing due to an abdominal injury. Apart from some changes in the starting XI, ESTAC will have several weapons to try to reverse the trend!
Lyon is still on 5 consecutive home wins in Ligue 1.
Lyon has scored 3 goals on average in the last 5 meetings with Troyes.
Lyon has 9 consecutive wins against ESTAC.
Troyes has conceded 6 goals in 180 minutes this season.
Troyes has not won away from home since March 6, 2022, a total of 6 trips.
