In a weekend match on Sun Nov 13th, in week 15, Troyes will travel to Brest to battle Brest in a Ligue 1 match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Brest is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Nice. Gaëtan Laborde struck first for Nice in the 54th minute on a feed from Sofiane Diop, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Brest couldn’t manage to score, and Nice took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while troyes sits at 13th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Auxerre. Rony Lopes struck first for Troyes in the 28th minute on a feed from Mama Baldé, then in the 86th minute, Lassine Sinayoko sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Gaëtan Perrin earning Auxerre a comeback draw. Troyes is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Brest won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Both Mama Baldé and Rony Lopes have been the hottest scorers for Troyes in the last five each having scored 2 goals. Brest’s top weapon lately has been Romain Del Castillo, who has two goals in the last 5 matches
Bruno Grougi’s Brest squad will be without Jere Uronen, Islam Slimani, Pierre Lees Melou, Steve Mounié and Achraf Dari, while Florian Tardieu and Gallon are unavailable to play for Bruno Irles’s team.
