Troyes
After holding Lille to a goalless draw, St Etienne will look to return to winning ways when they take on Troyes in the Ligue 1 round 29. Les Verts are eager to escape the relegation zone, and given their display in the last league match, home win should be considered. All Neyou, Hamouma, Sow, Macon, and Crivelli are sidelined with injuries for the home team.
Bruno Irles’ troops, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins Bordeaux and Nantes. Troyes have been showing signs of improvement of late, and seeing that both sides will go for a win in Friday’s clash, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Adil Rami has joined the likes of Gerson Rodrigues, Hyun-Jun Suk, and Karim Azamoum in the recovery room, speaking of the away side.

Roger Courtois’ team were three goals down after 57 minutes, but five minutes later Fernand De Vlaeminck scored a consolation goal for the Stade de l’Aube outfit.
