Troyes has lost all three opening games in Ligue 1, conceding a combined total of 10 goals. The club is trying to bolster their squad and have just the other day signed Rony Lopes from Sevilla. There have been a lot of changes at Troyes, but we cannot say that the newcomers fit the game straight away. Defender Andreas Bruus has been the best player in the squad, but he was injured recently.

Troyes has problems on both sides of the pitch, creating few chances and allowing much to their opponents. However, defensively things were not so bad that they conceded so much. Last time round, they lost away to Lyon (1:4). Trois didn't have much chance to distinguish themselves in terms of attacking but with the scoreline at 0:1, they managed to restore the balance thanks to a spot-kick. The first conceded goal was a curiosity, and at least 1 of the following three could have been avoided had the defenders been a little quicker in their penalty area.

The team has started the championship with two consecutive draws, and with 2 points, they are only 17th. If you look at the advanced statistics, Angers are in 10th place in terms of xG, and they also look decent in defense. The club, meanwhile, is trying to strengthen its defense, and its most recent transfer was 19-year-old defender Ousmane Camara.

Last time in Ligue 1, they lost 1:3 at home to Brest. It would have been easier for them if Shabanovic wasn't sent off. In the middle of the second half, Sofiane Boufal helped Angers avoid a defeat.

Angers had their last away win back in December 2021, and now they have a chance to improve. Last season, they looked better than Troyes, and even away, they had a chance to win. Their head-to-head encounters were entertaining enough, but now the home side is having severe problems in attack. The visitors have many personnel problems, but even against this background, it is noticeable that the available defensive players could improve and finally win the game.
