Troyes - Monaco betting tips and odds

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

Most bookies and expert opinions agree that Monaco should record a decisive victory here. It’s a fairly one-sided matchup overall, and they are hard favourites despite playing as the away team.

Troyes fans were quite hopeful during the half-time break in the previous round. The team managed to snatch an early lead against Ajaccio , who are a considerably stronger team. Troyes couldn’t hold on to their advantage in the second half, however, resulting in a narrow away loss (2:1).

The previous round of the Ligue 1 featured a matchup between Monaco and Nice – two squads of comparable skill, according to the betting odds. However, Nice were already ahead 45 minutes in despite playing as the visitors, and ended up winning 0:3

Our confidence in Monaco and, more specifically, their defenses, is shaky at best. After more than 5 concessions in three consecutive home games, most bookies and pundits see them as unreliable.

Troyes are in an unenviable position going into round 26. They’re on their way to relegation and the time to move up is rapidly running out. Considering the odds online bookmakers are giving them for a win, though, they have a lot of reason to worry.

With 50 points in total, Monaco would need to close a 10-point difference to take the top spot in the standings. The season is going by quickly, though, and they’ll need to act quickly if they still have ambitions to take the title.

Monaco are more likely to win this game despite the issues they’ve had with Troyes earlier in the season. They were the hosts the last time we saw these two teams clash, and yet lost the game to a considerable goal difference.

The visitors clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, which is made even more sure thanks to the presence of their entire roster. They’ve had no injuries or suspensions recently, leaving their lineup intact for the game.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.68, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
