Troyes analysis

Currently, in the Ligue 2, Troyes sums 1 goals for and a total of 11 goals against, after 6 rounds played.

Troyes has been going through a rough patch in their recent matches, losing their last 4 matches and drawing the other. They will need to regroup and find a way to bounce back from this dip in form if they want to salvage their season.

It appears that Troyes is encountering difficulties in scoring goals, as evidenced by their low number of goals scored and the high number of games in which they have failed to score. This could imply that their attacking play is lacking in quality and they need to work on creating better chances.

Troyes, with a ball possession of 47.33% per game on average, is not the team that imposes its game, and rather prefers a tactic devoted to waiting and counterattacks. However, in the match against Metz of 2024/2025 they will have to do something more, try to maintain possession of the ball and attack the opponent's goal with more continuity.

Pape Ibnou Ba's life is not being easy in this beginning of his trajectory for his new club. Hired for this season, the player has not been performing well, a fact that was repeated in Troyes last game. Against Annecy, once again he failed to score goals, accumulating another bad performance.
