Betting on Troyes
The team coached by Bruno Irles has had an inconsistent performance in Ligue 1 and is still struggling to escape from the bottom of the standings. In their last match against Lille, they lost 5-1, so ESTAC register only one win in their last five matches and are fourteenth in the Ligue 1 standings.
Undoubtedly, this Troyes vs Lens is a golden opportunity to save themselves from the relegation zone than to aspire to something important. However, it is early to rule out the possibilities.
So far, Troyes registers 4 wins and 6 draws for a total of 18 points in the league. The team’s main problem is in the attacking front, as the lack of effectiveness continues to extend their misfortune and leaves them with a goal difference of -10.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Mateusz Lis; Thierno Balde, Yoann Salmier, Erik Palmer-Brown, Abdu Conté; Kouamé N’Guessan, Xavier Chavalerin; Andreas Bruus, Rony Lopes, Mama Baldé; Renaud Ripart.

For this great clash between Troyes vs Lens, we believe that the winner will be the visitor. Their impeccable performance in the first 19 matchdays positions them today as PSG’s rival in the fight for the league. Their effectiveness in attack and the great defensive partnership that their coach has built up make Lens a nightmare for any opponent.
Troyes’ players will surely be looking to press from the opening minutes to take advantage of the home advantage, yet it would be a feat to beat this opponent.
Prediction: RC Lens win 1-0.
