Lille vs Troyes preview: Mastiffs earn bragging rights in home encounter

Lille have enjoyed a successful start to the new campaign, winning two and drawing one of their opening three games.

However, they were handed a reality check in their first European match this term, as they surrendered a first-half lead for Real Betis to ultimately win 3-2.

That now makes it five consecutive home matches without a win across all competitions for Lille.

Hamza Igamane is the only absentee for the hosts, while Troyes are without three names. They are Ismael Boura, Paolo Gozzi and Yvann Titi.

Troyes might have enjoyed an unbeaten two-game start to the season, but they were hammered 6-2 at home by Strasbourg last matchday.

Stephane Dumont’s men enjoyed their previous trip to Lorient, beating them 2-1, but they will be wary of their poor form away from home.

In H2Hs, particularly, Troyes have won only once at Lille in eight competitive encounters.

Whispers predicts: Lille 2-1 Troyes

As per Bet365, Lille to win at 7/17 (1.41) provides dividends, although minimal. The hosts, despite their recent loss to Real Betis, are favourites to win all three points.

Lille’s Ayase Ueda has scored in each of his last five games for his new club. Backing Ueda as an anytime goalscorer at 5/4 (2.25) is worth the bet.

Only Auxerre have conceded more second-half Ligue 1 goals this campaign than Troyes’ 5. Lille to win across both halves carries immense value i.e. HT/FT – Lille/Lille at 11/10 (2.10).

Troyes have scored in all but one of their three games this term, while Lille are consistent scorers. BTTS – Yes at 19/20 (1.95) is worth the backing.
