Estac Troyes are heading into this match in poor shape. They have lost four of their last five games, which is a clear sign of struggle. On the other hand, Angers have been tough to beat recently, drawing three of their last five matches and winning one. They are in much more solid form.

Looking at recent meetings between these two, goals have been common. The last few matchups have all seen at least two goals, with one ending 4-1. Given Troyes’s poor run and Angers's steadier form, this looks like a match Angers should control, though the frequent goals in past games suggest it could be an open contest.
