Match preview
Troyes will meet with Stade de Reims this weekend as the away side looks to jump up out of the relegation zone after three games without a victory since their excellent win over Angers back at the end of August.
Reims saw four different goalscorers get the job done against Angers, as Marshall Munetsi, Junya Ito, Folarin Balogun and Alexis Flips all scored a goal each. Jens Cajuste was sent off that day, but he is no longer suspended.
Stunningly, Reims have already received five red cards from eight league games which is so far ahead of the rest of Europe right now that it is now a clear sign of concern for them this season. Alexis Flips was sent off against Toulouse two games back and he is not available here. Bradley Locko was send off against Monaco, as Reims also lost 3-0.
As for Troyes, they are back in the win column after a victory against Clermont Foot in the last game. This did end two games without a win, and it now also means three wins from the past five games for Troyes after a terrible start to the season saw them let in 10 goals and lose all three opening games.
Lens defeated them in this time, as Rennes also got a point off them. Regardless, Troyes’ terrible start to this Ligue 1 campaign keeps them in 10th ahead of this one. On the other hand, they’ve found their goalscoring form right now and only the 3-0 loss to Toulouse saw them fail to score so far this season.
