Troyes vs Paris FC Prediction & Betting Tips (21 October)

Relegated on a sporting level last May, this Troyes team was given a new chance to keep its place in Ligue 2 following the administrative descent of Bordeaux this summer. However, Estac did not seem ready to seize this opportunity and it is struggling again in this championship where it finds itself having to bring up the rear in the ranking after 8 days, with only 4 units on the clock. Beaten by Rodez 0-3 and Annecy 1-0, the Aubois were able to achieve a rather unexpected victory against Metz 2-1 but they finally plunged immediately again, losing to Dunkirk 2-1. For their part, the Paris FC has been in the news in recent days following rumors of a takeover of the club which could fall into the hands of the Arnault family and the Red Bull group, which could give it a new dimension.

On a sporting level, the capital club also has something to brag about at the moment since it is at the top of this Ligue 2 with 18 units after 8 days, or 2 more than its leading pursuers. After suffering 2 consecutive losses against Metz 1-2 and Bastia 2-1, Stéphane Gili's players reacted perfectly to string together 3 straight victories against Guingamp 2-0, Red Star 1-3 and Laval 1-0 before the international truce. 

For this match, Trojan coach Stéphane Dumont will have to resolve to do without the central defenders Tahrat and Mendès who are still out of shape and without the experienced midfielder M'Changama whom he had already known well at Guingnamp. Finally, the sentry Kanté will be suspended after being expelled during the trip to Dunkirk. Decisive for Dunkirk before the break, the Comorian Saïd was the first player from this team to score a second goal this season. For its part, Paris FC will travel to the Stade de l'Aube without the potential starters Chergui, Koré, Gueye, Alakouch and Pembélé who still form a fairly long list of injured.

However, Stéphane Gili is fortunate to be able to count on very good assets like striker Dicko (1 goal, 2 assists), brothers Maxime and Julien Lopez, the interesting Hamel (8 goals last year, scorer against Laval on the last day) and the excellent Kebbal (2 goals) in particular. We must obviously not forget the striker Krasso who is at the top of the scorers rankings for this team with 3 goals.
