Toulouse head into this fixture with renewed confidence after a convincing 3-0 victory away to Le Mans, a result that lifted Jens Berthel Askou's side to 11th in the Ligue 1 table.
The Danish coach collected just one point from their opening three league matches, but his side have improved since then but have now won two and drawn two to collect eight points from their last four.
They also struggled in their opening two home matches, losing to Lyon and Lille, before recording their first home victory in a 2-1 win over Le Havre.
Toulouse are now looking to record consecutive home league wins for the first time since December 2024 and they will be optimistic given the form of their opposition.
The hosts have just one player out for this one, as Abu Francis is struggling with a hamstring strain, and his availability will need to be assessed ahead of kick-off.
Troyes, meanwhile, travel south after another disappointing result, as Stephane Dumont's side were beaten 3-1 at home by Lens, extending their losing streak in Ligue 1 to five matches.
Their defensive record has become a major concern, with 15 goals conceded across those five defeats, while they have scored only five goals in the league this season.
One of the few positives from their defeat against Lens was Timothee Nkada finding the net, ending a run of three games without a goal for Troyes.
The visitors will hope they can build on that, as they look to avoid three consecutive defeats on the road without scoring for the first time in the division since December 2012.
There are some concerns in defence, with Ismael Boura dealing with a hip problem, while Paolo Gozzi is questionable after sustaining a knock.

Whispers predicts: Toulouse 2-1 Troyes
Toulouse are priced at around 1.62 (31/50) to win, making them clear favourites. Their 3-0 victory over Le Mans, improving attacking output and Troyes' five-match losing streak all support the home selection.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.59 (59/100) is another option, with Toulouse scoring at least two goals in each of their last four league games, while conceding exactly two in three of the last four, a statistic that also makes the both teams to score option a solid picked, priced at 1.68 (17/25).
A 2-1 Toulouse victory is the correct-score prediction, with odds of 8.00 (7/1).
> Over 2.5 goals at 1.59 (59/10 | Likelihood: High
> Toulouse to win at 1.62 (31/50) | Likelihood: High
> Both teams to score – Yes at 1.68 (17/25) | Likelihood: Medium
> Correct score: Toulouse 2-1 Troyes at 8.00 (7/1) | Likelihood: Low
