Troyes vs Paris Saint Germain Prediction: Time is up for Galtier

Troyes face league leaders Paris Saint Germain in the 34th round of the Ligue 1. Troyes are still fighting the battle for survival from relegation even though their chances of success seem impossible. Paris Saint Germain are still top of the logs and 5 points clear of second place Marseille, but they have come under heavy criticism for their very poor display at various times this season. One of those times was in the previous round when they lost 3-1 to Troyes at home. They will be hoping to pick up another win to clinch the Ligue 1 title as a consolation for a very disappointing season. 

Troyes are all about poor records and poor form and they have been that way throughout the season. They are without a win in their last 17 matches in all competitions and now they face a desperate Paris Saint Germain. Troyes had 4 losses and 1 draw in their last 5 games. So far this season their record is 4 wins, 10 draws and 19 defeats from 33 matches. They are currently 18th in the league, with 22 points and a goal ratio of 41:70.

Troyes lost their last game against Nice at home. The match ended 1-0 and the only goal was scored in the 2nd minute by Hicham Boudaoui, but Troyes failed to score until the end of the game. Troyes had 36% possession, 6 shots on target and 3 corner kicks.

Team streak: no wins (17), without a clean sheet (18), first to concede (7/7), first half loser (4/5), less than 4.5 cards (8/9).

Many believed PSG would be miles ahead of the second placed team at this stage of the season, but they are separated by just 5 points. PSG endured another humiliating defeat in their last game as they lost 3-1 to Lorient at home. In their last 5 matches, they recorded 3 wins and 2 defeats. And overall, they have 24 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats in 33 matches. They are top of the log with 75 points and a goal ratio of 76:34.

PSG will forget their last game in a hurry as they were beaten by 10th place Lorient. Enzo Le Fee gave Lorient the opening goal in the 15th minute and 5 minutes later, Achraf Hakimi was sent off for a foul. PSG fought hard to get back in the game and they did through Kylian Mbappe’s goal in the 29th minute. But their excitement was short-lived as Lorient went ahead again in the 39th minute. In the second half, PSG conceded another goal as Ahmadou Bamba Dieng scored the third goal for the visitors, dismissing any hopes for a comeback. PSG had 54% possession, 4 shots on target and 2 corner kicks.

Team streak: without a clean sheet (3), less than 4.5 cards (8/10).
