Newly-promoted Troyes aim to cement their surprise European berth against a Strasbourg side desperate to recover from early-season inconsistency.
Estac Troyes have enjoyed a near-flawless return to Ligue 1 under Stephane Dumont, sitting 6th with four points from their opening two fixtures. After a gritty 0-0 draw with Paris FC, they secured a statement 2-1 away victory against Lorient last weekend. Having won promotion as Ligue 2 champions, Troyes are currently holding a continental qualification place and look to maintain the momentum from an unbeaten six-match pre-season.
Strasbourg arrive at the Stade de l'Aube in 10th place, just one point off the European spots they narrowly missed out on last season. Hugo Oliveira’s side bounced back from a bruising 4-0 loss at Marseille to beat Lens 2-1 last time out. Their primary objective this term is a return to continental competition after finishing just one point shy of the UEFA Conference League spots in the 2025-26 campaign.
