Match Preview
ESTAC Troyes welcome Clermont Foot to the Stade de l'Aube on Wednesday for this Ligue 1 match. Clermont won 2-0 in the first-ever Ligue 1 match between these teams in the reverse fixture back in August. It is their fourth win in five in this head to head dating back to when they were Ligue 2 promotion rivals.
ESTAC Troyes come into the match on a run of five home league games undefeated. They have picked up 11 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
ESTAC shared the points in their last league match at home to RC Strasbourg Alsace. Expected goals of 1.8 to 1.3 in favour of Strasbourg indicates Troyes were a little fortunate to escape from the game with a point. ESTAC were awarded a penalty five minutes from full time which Florian Tardieu stepped up to convert for his side. It was Florian Tardieu's first league goal of this season for Troyes that was enough to rescue a point for his side. He is 5.5/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 1-1.
Their opponent on Wednesday, Clermont Foot, come into the match on a run of seven league games without a win. They have picked up one point from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
The Lancers shared the points in their last league match away to FC Metz. Expected goals of 2.7 to 0.4 in favour of Clermont Foot indicates they probably deserved more than a point from the match. Mohamed Bayo, Akim Zedadka and Grejohn Kyei all missed big chances in the final half-hour against the ten men of Metz. It was Jodel Dossou's goal that secured at least a point for Clermont Foot. Dossou now has three league goals this season for Clermont. The final score of the match was 1-1.
Despite his big miss, Bayo remains Clermont Foot’s top scorer with ten goals in Ligue 1 this season and is the 3/1 favourite to score against ESTAC Troyes on Wednesday.
