Amiens vs Estac Troyes: Can the Strugglers Stun the League Leaders?

A Tale of Two Teams

When you delve into the numbers, the clash between Amiens and Estac Troyes paints a vivid picture of contrasting fortunes. Amiens are languishing in 16th place with just 19 points from 20 games. Meanwhile, Estac Troyes sit comfortably atop the Ligue 2 table, boasting 41 points and a robust goal difference of +15.

Amiens' Defensive Woes

Conceding has been the Achilles’ heel for Amiens — they have shipped 39 goals this season, averaging nearly 2 goals per game against them. This glaring weakness contributes to their dismal form, with only one win in their last five fixtures. They did manage a 4-3 win against Clermont Foot, but also suffered a 1-4 thrashing at home to Dunkerque.

Estac Troyes' Attacking Edge

In stark contrast, Estac Troyes have found the net 38 times, averaging 1.58 goals per match. They’ve been prolific, as their recent 4-3 victory against PAU demonstrated their offensive prowess. Yet, defensive lapses have led to games like the 2-4 loss to Lens. However, with 8 clean sheets, they are more than capable of shutting out opponents.

Head-to-Head Dominance

The head-to-head record over the past decade heavily favors Estac Troyes. Winning six out of the last 10 encounters, their most recent victory was a 3-1 triumph in October 2025. Amiens have managed just one win, a 3-1 success in 2021, highlighting the uphill battle they face.
