Angers preview: Relegation battling Angers

At the start of this season, Angers have collected four points from their opening four matches after the departure of manager Alexandre Dujeux to Lorient, and the subsequent replacing of him with former Paris FC boss Stephane Gilli.

Angers come into this one on the back of a goalless draw with likely fellow relegation battlers Le Havre in their most recent outing at Stade Oceane last weekend after they had been beaten 2-1 by Stade Rennais.

Troyes preview: Newly-promoted Troyes

Following their promotion back to the top-flight, as a part of the City Football Group, Troyes have started their Ligue 1 return reasonably well with a win, a draw and two defeats in their four matches thus far.

The visitors’ two defeats have come this month with their 6-2 demolition at the hands of Strasbourg a couple of weeks ago before a 2-0 loss away to Lille at Stade Pierre-Mauroy last weekend.

Angers vs Troyes prediction

Angers are a steady team but the departure of the manager that led them back to Ligue 1 now departing after steering them clear from relegation in each of the last two seasons will be a concern for them moving forward. They will target this game as a crucial three points and Troyes will fancy themselves, too, on the counter-attack and so both teams scoring seems a decent bet for this one.
