Troyes vs Nantes Head-to-Head
Newly-promoted Troyes appeared to be in freefall beginning in early December, as they won just once in a run of 10 games until the end of February.
However, last weekend saw them finally pick up a victory, as they defeated strugglers Bordeaux 0-2, despite being reduced to 10 men.
The win has given Troyes more hope of surviving this season, although they are still just one point away from the drop zone.
Nantes, meanwhile, have surprised everyone by looking like one of Ligue 1โs better sides this season, despite only narrowly avoiding relegation last year.
Right now, theyโve risen all the way up to sixth thanks to an impressive run since December that has seen them lose just twice in 11 matches.
Most recently, Nantes have put together a four-match unbeaten run, which last weekend saw them overcome Montpellier 2-0 in an impressive showing.
The last time these sides faced off saw Nantes defeat Troyes 2-0. In fact, Nantes have beaten their hosts this weekend in five of their last six meetings.

Troyes vs Nantes Prediction
Despite Troyesโ win last weekend, they may be up against it here, as Nantes are on one of the better runs in Ligue 1 right now.
Not only do Nantes have the attacking talent to really harm the hostsโ defense, but they are also solid enough at the back to keep out one of the leagueโs more profligate sides.
An away win is the prediction here.
Prediction: Troyes 0-2 Nantes
