Lyon Preview – Can Lyon make top five?
Lyon finished last season’s Ligue 1 campaign sitting in 8th place and five points adrift of Nice but the hosts got themselves off to a winning start in last weekend’s season opener with a 2-1 home win over Ajaccio and the hosts will be wanting more of the same here this Friday as well.
The bigger picture shows Lyon have lost just two of their last 11 matches overall, both of which were away from home, but they also recorded seven wins during this period too, while also winning the previous nine meetings on the trot against Troyes.
Troyes Preview – Can Troyes break stranglehold?
Troyes finished last season in the bottom half of the Serie A standings in 15th place and the fact that they won just one of their final eight games of last season was probably one of the catalysts behind their disappointing finish.
However, Troyes have continued their poor form in the French top flight this term as well, as the visitors have lost both of their opening two games this term, being handed defeats by Montpellier and Toulouse, while just one win from their last 10 away games suggests this could be another tough evening for Troyes.
