Troyes and FC Nantes will return to action in the French Ligue 1 when they face off at the Stade de l'Aube on Wednesday (December 28).
Both sides head into the weekend separated by just one point and two places in the bottom half of the standings, so this game should make for an exciting watch.
Troyes will take to the pitch for the first time since November 13, when they fell to a 2-1 loss against Stade Brestois away from home.
Patrick Kisnorbo’s side are winless in seven league games since a 3-1 win at Clermont Foot in September. With 14 points from 15 games, Troyes are 13th in Ligue 1, one point and two places above Nantes.
Meanwhile, Nantes continued to struggle, as they failed to win their two friendlies during the 2022 FIFA World Cup break.
They are now winless in four games across competitions, drawing and losing twice apiece since November. However, they have lost just one of their last five Ligue 1 games, claiming three draws and a win.
