Troyes preview: Eyeing their biggest win of the season

Player to watch: Romain Del Castillo

Romain Del Castillo has an excellent track record against Troyes, as he was directly involved in at least one goal in each of the last three clashes between these teams. The former Lyon midfielder was on the scoresheet in Brest's 5-2 defeat against PSG last weekend. He will look to score in back-to-back games for the first time since September 2024.
