Toulouse vs Troyes: Match Preview
Toulouse had a fairly decent season last year. They finished 10th in the table, collecting 42 points from 34 matches. The team have been less consistent this season and currently sit 12th in the Ligue 1 table. They have collected nine points after seven rounds and are just three points clear of the relegation zone. However, Toulouse are unbeaten in their last four matches, recording two wins and two draws. In the previous round, they comfortably beat Le Mans 3-0.
Troyes played in Ligue 2 last season and produced excellent results. They collected 67 points from 34 matches and finished top of the table, earning direct promotion to France's top division. They started the new campaign with a draw and a win, but then embarked on a poor run that continues to this day: five consecutive defeats. Troyes have four points in the table and sit second from bottom in Ligue 1. The battle to avoid relegation will be very difficult for Troyes.
