Our football match prediction:
Angers were struggling to find their form in the first half of the season, but they have been showing signs of improvement of late. Les Scoistes defeated Dijon in their last home game in the Ligue 1 and, to make things even better for the fans, they managed to hold Lyon to a 1-1 draw at Groupama Stadium at the weekend. Angers are determined to secure yet another top flight survival and Wednesday’s football match against Troyes could be crucial for the hosts. Jean Louis Garcia’s men, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Bordeaux in their last league fixture, but you should bear in mind that they missed a penalty in the first half of the match. Troyes do not seem to be on top of their game ahead of the trip to Angers and seeing that they suffered five losses in last six league matches, we predict the visitors are going to return home empty-handed.

Founded in 1986, Troyes are considered one of the youngest clubs in French Ligue 1. Troyes returned to the top flight at the end of the 2016/2017 season, with the team finishing the regular season in third place in the Ligue 2 standings. Jean Louis Garcia’s men proved their worth in the promotion play-offs, with the team beating Lorient in the two-legged tie. Troyes are well known for their blue shirts, but they wear white when playing on the travels. Stade de l’Aube is the club’s home ground and the stadium can hold up to 20.400 spectators. The venue was built in 1924, but it was renovated on two occasions (1956, 2004). The club have yet to win the Ligue 1 trophy, but in 1956 they made it to the French Cup final. Troyes faced Sedan in the title game and they were totally outplayed by Louis Dugauguez’s troops (3-1) at Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir. 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.
