Dunkerque vs Troyes Prediction & Betting Tips (4 October)

Narrowly saved last year after a particularly difficult start to the year, Dunkirk seems to have learned its lesson. Indeed, the Northern club launched this new season much better by taking 13 points during the first 7 days which allows it to be in 5th position in this championship, with the same number of points as the 2nd, Grenoble. In great form recently, the Maritimes were able to string together 4 consecutive victories against Rodez 1-0, Clermont 0-1, Pau 3-2 and Bastia 2-1. However, this very good series ended last week against a Martigues team in difficulty since the start of the season and reduced to 10 at the hour of play 1-1. Troyes, for its part, does not really seem able to take advantage of the chance he was given this summer.

Initially relegated on a sporting level, Estac took advantage of Bordeaux's catastrophic financial situation to maintain its place in Ligue 2 and have the chance to maintain its position. But the task promises to be complicated for this team which is really struggling at the start of the season. After being able to take its first point against Bastia 0-0, the Aube club suffered two new losses against Rodez 0-3 and Annecy 1-0. But last Saturday, Stéphane Dumont's men finally won their first success by dominating, to everyone's surprise, the leader Metz 2-1 despite only having 22% of ball possession.

Coach Luis Castro should once again be able to count on his entire group for this poster, as was already the case last Friday during the match against Martigues. We should therefore find in this delegation the former Nantais Yacine Bammou (2 goals) who established himself as a starter in attack to the detriment of veteran Courtet. Scorer against the Martégaux, the Finnish midfielder Skyttä also scored his 2nd goal of the season while the Dutchman Tejan has 3 assists. On the Trojan side, coach Stéphane Dumont still deplores the absence of his central defenders Tahrat and Mendès who currently fill the ranks of the infirmary. They were joined in the infirmary by midfielder M'Changama.

The young striker Irié, injured at the end of the match against Metz, is not sure he will be operational either. Against the Grenats, it was the attackers Ibnou Ba and Ripart, from the penalty spot, who allowed their team to win. Before this victory, the Trojans had only scored one goal in 6 days.
