Troyes vs Chateauroux Soccer Betting Picks – Ligue 2
Almost always present when it comes to battling to try to climb, Troyes is doing even better this season since the club is fighting to try to win the league title 2. Indeed, with 34 points, the ESTAC occupies 2nd place in the standings with the same number of points as the leader, Grenoble. Very consistent, Laurent Batlles’ men had performed well during the month of December, winning in particular against Paris FC (2-1), Nancy (2-3) and Niort (1-0). On the other hand, before Christmas, they were beaten in Grenoble ten to eleven (2-0) and thus suffered their first defeat since the end of September.
For its part, Châteauroux is going through a real way of the cross this season and finds itself in the last position in the standings with a very low total of 13 points garnered during the first 17 days. Far from the level of the best teams in this championship, the Berrichonne has just lost 4 times in the last 5 days. After being defeated by Grenoble (0-1), Dunkirk (2-0) and Toulouse (0-3), Gilles Sunu’s partners were able to take a point against Rodez (1-1). But during the last match, they gave in again against Clermont (0-1), which caused the arrival as coach of the former Nantes and Parisian Benoît Cauet.
The workforce for Troyes vs Chateauroux
In Troyes, the young English striker Lumeka (2 goals) was joined in the infirmary by the replacement Mambo. To these absences, we can add the suspension of Mutombo, expelled just after his entry into play against Grenoble. On the other hand, the player loaned by OL Pintor is back in the Trojan group. Up front, we should probably find the formidable home scorer, Touzghar (8 goals) at the forefront.
On the side of Châteauroux, the new coach Cauet will not be able to rely on the services of important Alhadhur and Marega, joined in the infirmary by the young Doucouré. In addition, holders Mulumba and Opéri are suspended for this match. Only returns, those of the porter Fabri (holder) and Pillot (replacement). No player in this squad has scored more than 2 goals this season for this team which only has the 19th Ligue 2 attack (12 goals scored).
The probable compositions for Troyes vs Chateauroux:
Troyes: Gallon – El-Hajjam, Giraudon, Salmier – Tardieu, Kouamé, Dingomé, Chambost – Raveloson, Touzghar, Saint-Louis.
