Contents
Both Teams to Score – No
Ajaccio has the worst attack in Ligue 1 scoring only seven goals this season, but at the same time, Troyes has one of the weakest defensive lines in France's top Division. They have allowed 21 goals while scoring 18. Their h2h record speaks another story, only once in their last five matches, both teams scored a goal. It will be interesting to see how Troyes defense holds against a forward line that isn't formidable.
Troyes to Win
Even though Ajaccio won two away games in a row, Troyes has been more solid at home in recent games holding their opponents at bay. Though the hosts here regularly allow goals on their home turf, they are keeping most of their points which is crucial in their bid for survival. They have lost only once at home this season in four matches.

Can Troyes keep the clean sheet?
Troyes is one of the most unpredictable teams in Ligue 1 this season, and that is, at the same time, exciting for a neutral fan, but not so much for their supporters. They have plenty of defensive weaknesses that are evident each passing game, and that fact gives hope and opportunity for the opposing team to attack them at that spot. Troyes players showed some resolve last week when they almost came back from 0-3 down in a loss to Nice, but eventually, it was too late for a big comeback. Nice is one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league, and they managed to score as many as three goals in the first half to a confused Troyes defense. What is strange about that game is how the coach Bruno Irles put a very defensive-minded formation 5-4-1 but that didn't matter much.
Troyes's probable lineup: Gallon, Yade, Salmier, Rami, Palmer-Brown, Bruus, Ripart, Tardieu, Kouame, Odobert, Balde.
Ajaccio had a huge confidence booster last week when they handed Marseille their first loss of the season at Stade Velodrome of all places. They scored two goals which is almost a third of all the goals they have scored this season, and that is not very comforting. However, what will give them hope is the way Troyes concedes goals regularly, especially in earlier parts of games.
Ajaccio probable lineup: Leroy, Kone, Avinel, Gonzalez, Youssouf, Nouri, Coutadeur, Marchetti, Bayala, Moussiti-Oko, El Idrissy.
Team News:
Troyes: Lucien Agoume and Karim Azamoum are injured.
Ajaccio: Yoan Touzghar, Qazim Laci, Romain Hamouma, and Fernand Mayembo are out with injuries.
