Command Analysis

Troyes

With 14 points in the asset, Troyes are currently at the 13th position in the standings. Team is higher than 14th-placed Montpellier only on tiebreakers. Patrick Kisnorbo's men might drop even lower - team failed to find a single victory in five latest matches. Troyes had three draws and two defeats. In two most recent games team dropped points to the fellow relegation candidates, Auxerre (1:1) and Brest (1:2).

Nantes

Nantes are even lower than their opponents - they are 15th in Ligue 1. However, team is only one point behind the 13th-placed Troyes, so a victory may lift the Canaries a few places up. But before the World Cup break Antoine Kombouare's men were in a poor form - in four matches Nantes had three draws and one defeat. However, on two occasions team managed to avoid defeats against mid-table opponents - Clermont (1:1) and Nice (1:1).

Tip and bets
We don't think that both teams will put up a strong offensive performance here. Players must be fresh after the World Cup break. But both teams failed to find a victory in recent Ligue 1 matches, so we are expecting a low-scoring game here.
Our prediction - at least one club to not score
We also think that opponents won't be able to decide a winner today. Both clubs will try to avoid a defeat, so a draw will be a fairly positive result for everyone.
Our second bet is on a draw
