Troyes take on the visitors Nantes at "Stade de l'Aube" in the matchday three of the French Ligue 1. The game will be played on Saturday, August 19th.
Troyes simply crashed into the French elite division after a year vacations in the Ligue 2. The unbeaten run of Jean-Louis Garcia's side has been lasting since the 14th of April and consists of 10 encounters covering seven victories and three draws. That lucky series at the end of the season allowed Troyes to settle on the third place in the Ligue 2 and beat Lorient 2:1, 0:0 in Relegation Play Offs. At the start of this season the team got 1:1 draw against Rennes and 2:1 triumph over Nice.

Nantes and Claudio Ranieri suffered at the start of the season: the side was broken in two matches without a single scored goal: 0:3 vs. Lille and 0:1 vs. Lyon. The rivals were stronger, but "Les Canaris" also showed weak performance. It should be noted that taking into account last season, Nantes lost three recent games on the road with three conceded goals in each of them: 2:3, 0:3, 0:3.
Potentially Nantes are much stronger than the hosts, however, Troyes showed more consistent performance at the start of the season. Thus, I believe that the impudent debutant of the elite division will manage to gain points in the round three of the Ligue 1. Troyes have not been broken for more than four months in a row and will be able to extend their undefeated streak in the home clash against "Les Canaris" which failed at the start of the season.
Prediction for the match: Troyes to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
