ES Troyes AC vs SC Amiens Best odds and tips

Amiens will not be an easy game for ES Troyes AC to get through on Saturday as the two clubs bring contrasting styles to the table in their bid to avoid mid-table obscurity in Ligue 2 2024-2025. The hosts are 13th with 41 points from 33 games while the visitors are 10th with 43 points from the same number of matches. But both sides will be looking to avoid mediocrity and keep the faint hope of a playoff spot alive, making this game more important than the table suggests. Troyes are the favourites at 1.53 to win, while the draw is 4.10. Backing both teams to score looks a value pick for this game, however, given the recent attacking form of both sides and Amiens’ tendency to leak goals away from home.

Stephane Dumont’s side are a technical team, favouring a fluid system with overlapping full-backs and a focus on possession football. Dumont, who took over in August 2024, has instilled a measured build-up in his side and they are a tough team to beat at home. Troyes have won six, drawn four and lost six of their 16 home games in Ligue 2 2024-2025. Rafiki Said leads the line for Troyes with eight Ligue 2 goals in 32 games and provides a consistent threat, but it is Nicolas de Preville who has hit form in recent weeks, scoring three times in Troyes’ last five games.

Omar Daf’s Amiens are a different beast altogether. The club have played a compact, counters-first style since Daf took over in July 2023, focusing on defensive solidity and rapid transitions to get forward. Malick Mbaye’s hot streak has been the driving force behind Amiens’ recent form, scoring four goals in their last five Ligue 2 games, but Antoine Leautey is the main man up front for the club with ten goals in 33 Ligue 2 games this season.
