Toulouse - Troyes betting tips and odds

Toulouse might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Troyes are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

At 4.10 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Troyes are well aware of it themselves.

The home side is coming off from a morale-boosting away win in the last Ligue 1 round. After a stalemate in the first 45 minutes, Toulouse rose to the occasion to beat the odds (2.95) and record an important Strasbourg victory.

The away team earned a single point for the Ligue 1 standings last round thanks to the 1:1 draw in a home game. They’re likely much happier with that outcome than their opponents Lens, though, who were the hard favourites in that matchup.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Toulouse may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Troyes have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Ligue 1. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Toulouse played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Wednesday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

Wednesday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1 odds offer a decent return.
