Friday evening, Troyes moves to Caen for a meeting of the 25th day of Ligue 2. Caen must still take points to maintain himself while Troyes intends to approach the podium.
Unless there is a huge turnaround, Caen will not be able to go back directly to Ligue 1, just one year after leaving it. Indeed, Stade Malherbe is currently only 13th in the ranking with 28 points and 13 less than the 5th. Despite a resumption of form following his two successes obtained consecutively, ahead of Chambly (0-1) and Niort (4-3), Pascal Dupraz’s men were kept in check last week in Le Havre (1-1).
For its part, Troyes is, as often, plunged into the race for accession. With 41 points, the players of Aube are 5th in the ranking and virtually qualified for the play-offs of this Ligue 2. However, Laurent Battles’ men have been scared lately by losing 4 games in a row to Clermont (3-2), Le Havre (1-0), Grenoble (1-2) and Lens (1-0). This black series ended last Friday with a victory obtained at home against Châteauroux (2-0).
The staff for Caen vs Troyes
For Caen, the important holders Pi and Zady Sery were joined in the infirmary by the former Dijonnais Jeannot, victim of a rupture of the Achilles tendon, and who will be absent for the rest of the season. In addition, the very good defender Yago will be suspended after being expelled against Le Havre
In Troyes, striker Touzghar, midfielder Rui Pires, excellent and prolific central defender Kouyaté (5 goals) and the least used Abdallah and Bombo will not be traveling in Normandy. Kouamé will be back from suspension for this match. Arriving from Reims this winter, the Korean Suk was already decisive last week by finding for the first time the net with his new club.
Probable compositions for Caen vs Troyes:
Caen: Riou – Armougom, Rivierez, Weber, Vandermesch – Deminguet, Goncalves, Oniangué, Mbengue – Tchokounté, Gioacchini.
