Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Troyes welcome Angers at their Stade de l’Aube in the Ligue 1 round 8. Troyes failed to spoil Lyon’s party at Stade Olympique Lyonnais on Wednesday evening, with the team dropping to 17th place in the standings. The newcomers aim to escape the danger zone, but the game against Angers will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. All Yoann Salmier, Metinho, Yasser Larouci, and Hyun-Jun Suk are out of contention with injuries.
Les Scoistes, on the other hand, did well to hold Olympique Marseille to a goalless draw in their last league match. Angers aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible, but beating Troyes on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. As for the visiting side, midfielder Zinedine Ould Khaled should be the only absentee.
