On Sun Oct 16th, in week 11, Troyes and Ajaccio will play a match in Troyes in a clash of the Ligue 1. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, Troyes recorded a 2-3 loss against Nice. Mattia Viti scored the first goal for Nice in the 2nd minute, then Andy Delort added another in the 37th minute from the penalty spot. Troyes is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while 18th placed Ajaccio is fresh off their 2-1 win against Olympique Marseille. Dimitri Payet scored the first goal for Olympique Marseille in the 15th minute from the penalty spot, then in the 25th minute, Vincent Marchetti sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Bevic Selad Moussiti Oko But luckily in the 47th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Leonardo Balerdi. Ajaccio looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Ajaccio is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Romain Hamouma and Cedric Avinel each only have 1 goal in their last five. Troyes’s most prolific scorer has been Mama Baldé. He has netted 2 goals over the last five matches
Rony Lopes, Papa Yade, Lucien Agoumé and Salmier are unavailable to play for Troyes, while Olivier Pantaloni’s squad will be without Romain Hamouma, Laci, Yoann Touzghar, Chester Diallo, Leroy and Francois-Joseph Sollacaro.
