Angers manager Alexandre Dujeux will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Grenoble Foot 38.  During that encounter they had 50% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 12 shots on goal.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and this season they have notched up 9 clean sheets in 16 games at Stade Raymond-Kopa.  

Angers will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.  

Goalscorer Loïs Diony will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Angers.

With Paris FC sitting a clear 13 places above them in the table, Troyes won't feel totally dejected with their 2-1 home defeat by them last time out.  They came away from that fixture with a 37% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Paris FC, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.  

It seems pretty certain that David Guion will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have been unable to score away from home in 5 of their last 6 games.  

Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
