Extratips: Troyes vs St Etienne Prediction & Match Preview (Ligue 2 2025)

Welcome to Extratips for your Troyes vs St Etienne match preview! Two top Ligue 2 sides meet on November 8th at 19:00. Troyes, riding high in first with 27 points from 12 matches (8 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss), face third-placed St Etienne on 23 points from 13 matches (7 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses).

Recent results make this clash spicy. St Etienne have won four of the last five direct meetings, including a 5-0 thrashing and a 0-1 away win in 2024. Troyes haven’t beaten St Etienne in their last five attempts. At home, Troyes recently bagged 4 wins and a draw from their past five. St Etienne’s away form is mixed: 3 wins and 2 losses.

Troyes are strong in attack (2.1 goals/game), tough at the back, and rarely drop points. Their home performances have been rock solid, with few goals conceded. But they can sometimes struggle to break down organized defenses. St Etienne score even more (2.4 goals away/game) but also let in over 1.6 goals per away match. They are dangerous on the counter and boast recent H2H dominance but can be shaky in defense.

Key players like Stassin (Troyes) and Davitashvili (St Etienne) are in great form. There are no major injuries reported for either side. The stakes are high: a win for Troyes extends their lead, while St Etienne are desperate to close the gap.

Storylines:

• Can Troyes finally end St Etienne’s recent dominance?
• Will defense or attack win the day, with so many goals scored from both sides?
• Could this be a statement win in the promotion race?
