Angers vs Troyes

Despite the lack of official games in the last 20 days, Angers appeared ready against Nantes, but the result however was not positive, as they lost with the score of 2-1. While the score was 1-1, Angers had the possesion and wasted two excellent opportunities to score. Eventually, they received a goal from a foul and eliminated from the first three of the table, dropping to 10th place in the standings, and today’s game becomes very important for them. Angers generally were unlucky on several occasions during all 90 minutes. Defender Djellabi returns to the main eleven and fills the left side of defense.

 

Troyes had many complaints for the refs to the home defeat from Arles (0-1). They received two red cards, and generally the overall arbitration of the referree shaped the outcome and costed Troyes the first defeat at home for the current season. They faced a very defensive opponent, in an appalling pitch, spent a lot of energy and now they have to face fresh Angers away, missing a lot of players especially on defense. Main goalkeeper Olivier Blondel, defenders Matthieu Saunier, Rincon, Fabrice N’sakala, Julien Outrebon, main midfielder Eloge Enza Yamissi and substitute striker Gregory Bettiol are all out of tonight’s squad for several reasons. It is unknown yet for who will fill the gaps to their defense, as only Drouin, Jarjat and Sidibe are available, all of them played only as subs till now.

 

Angers has a great chance to gain back the lost points of Nantes game, against really weakened Troyes side. Angers are traditionally strong at home, and they should manage to take all three points.
