Troyes
- Troyes lead Ligue 2 with 16 wins from 27 games and are 12 points ahead of Dunkerque in eighth, who are just outside the playoff places.
- Troyes have won four of their last five competitive matches, scoring 11 goals.
- Troyes, on the other hand, are a high-tempo side with verticality, energetic transition play and high pressing phases that disrupt the opposition’s build-up.
Dunkerque
- Dunkerque are winless in their last five matches in all competitions, with three draws and two defeats.
- The hosts have been the model of consistency in 2025-2026, but Dunkerque have been a much improved side since Albert Sánchez took over as manager in the summer.
- Sánchez has restored calm after a turbulent summer and installed a 4 - 3 - 3 system that has them in mid-table contention.
- Dunkerque play the ball on the ground in a possession-based style and then press with numbers in the opposing half.
