Prediction: 1-1
Brest
Stade de l’Aube will host Sunday’s Ligue 1 game between Troyes and Brest, the two bottom-table sides. Troyes aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Lorient, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against fellow relegation strugglers. Guinea-Bissau forward Mama Balde is pushing for a start, while both Florian Tardieu and Karim Azamoum are out of contention with injuries.
Les Pirates, on the other hand, are eager to escape the danger zone, and seeing that they produced a fine display in a 2-1 loss to league leaders PSG, we predict that they will grab something from Sunday’s clash. As for the visiting team, both Kenny Lala and Mathias Pereira Lage are out of contention through injuries. You should know that both sides managed to find the net in each of their previous five meetings in all competitions.
Highlighted Player (Steve Mounié):
Steve Mounie is a Beninese footballer who plays for Huddersfield Town as a striker. Mounie is a product of Montpellier youth academy and, as a result, he was given a chance to prove his worth in the blue and orange shirt in Ligue 1 at senior level.
After scoring 14 goals in 37 appearances for la Paillade in the French elite division, the 190-cm-tall attacker moved to Huddersfield Town in 2017, but it has to be noted that he spent the 2015/2016 season at Nimes as a loan player. Steve Mounie signed a four-year deal with the Terriers and he made his competitive debut for the club on August 12, 2017, scoring a brace in a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.
The attacker who was born in Parakou (Benin) on September 29, 1994 will represent the Benin national team at the 2019 Africa Cup of nations. Mounie scored his first ever goal for the national team in a 2-1 win over South Sudan in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
