Troyes vs Brest: The newly promoted team despite their bad form can cause damage

Their first-ever meeting in the top division since 2013.

Troyes are presently seventh on the table, and one point above the relegation playoff spot, Brest on the other side are currently 12th on the log. Will Brest continue with their impressive away form? Or will Troyes show some fight at their Stade de l'Aube? 

ESTAC has been in poor form after one win in seven matches. The newly-promoted team has been toothless both home and away. Their only win was against fellow relegation battler Lorient.

After winning the Ligue 2 title last season, Troyes has been trembling above the relegation zone throughout the season. Despite scoring first in the last League 1 match, the away team Bordeaux came back from behind to take all the 3 points. With just 16 points in the last 18 games, the team are looking set to join her friends at the bottom of the table.

Michel Der Zakarian's team are in fine form with seven wins in eight matches. Their away form is second to know as only 3 teams has picked more points away from home than them in the 2021/2022 season. After beating Marseille and St-Etienne back to back, they stumbled on a defeat to Montpellier before their penalty shootout win against Dinan. Are they going to cause Troyes more problems? Well, all eyes are on them. 

Bookmakers around the world believe Brest are going to win, I think so too, but not with many goals. Only Lorient has scored fewer goals (14) than the host (Troyes) this season. The away team kept just three (3) clean sheets but all away from home. I'm expecting a tight game.
