- ESTAC have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 matches, losing none.
- Les Parisiens have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 games.
Troyes solid at home
Troyes will be looking to avenge a disappointing 1-1 draw away at A.J. Auxerre in their penultimate game and a 1-1 draw at home to Panetolikos FC in their most recent outing. Stephane Dumont's men have been flying across all competitions with 7 wins, 2 draws and just 1 defeat in their 10 most recent games.
However, they have failed to beat Les Parisiens in either of the pair's last 2 outings and they face the same opponent here in Ligue 1 2026-2027. Troyes will need to be better than they were in their two recent home meetings with the away side, where they failed to win either game. ESTAC are a well-drilled, compact and disciplined side built on structure and organisation, particularly in transition.
Paris FC need to find their groove
Meanwhile, Liam Rosenior's Paris FC have won just 4, drawn 2 and lost 4 of their opening 10 games in all competitions. Les Parisiens have struggled in away games, taking just 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats from their last 5.
Les Parisiens haven't been prolific scorers away from home, averaging 1.60 goals per away game in all competitions, however, they have managed 8 goals on the road and Alimami Gory has been their star man with 2 goals in their last 5.
Going for goals at Stade de l’Aube
Over 2.5 goals at 1.67 looks the way to go for Saturday's clash at the Stade de l'Aube, especially if Rosenior's new more proactive Paris FC are able to open up the game at a faster pace. Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.55 is also a live bet.
The market and the H2H edge is just about just enough to sway me towards Paris FC here, however, with Troyes in such solid form at home, I wouldn't put anyone off backing the draw at 3.5.
