Nancy
- Nancy have lost three, won one and drawn one of their last five Ligue 2 matches.
- Pablo Correa has also employed a tactical system that suits his team’s personnel with Nancy’s 3-5-2 system allowing the wing-backs to provide width and flexibility.
- Brandon Bokangu has scored three goals in 16 Ligue 2 appearances this season, but Nancy have been struggling recently, failing to win or even draw in their last two home games, losing 1-3 to Rodez Aveyron last weekend.
Troyes
- Troyes have lost two and won three of their last five Ligue 2 contests.
- Troyes are top of the table with 41 points from 21 games compared to Nancy’s 22 from the same number of contests.
- Stephane Dumont’s compact 4-4-2 formation has been the basis of Troyes’ success this season and is designed to get the players to stick together, press in numbers, defend collectively and attack wide - particularly in the second half when they usually dominate.
- Tawfik Bentayeb is Troyes’ main danger-man with nine Ligue 2 goals in 15 appearances this term, two of them in his last five.

in the last head-to-head meeting four months ago, Troyes ran out 3-0 winners at home.
