Troyes hosts Paris Saint-Germain in round 1 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, August 7th at Stade de l'Aube (Troyes)
Troyes is a modest football club from the city of the same name, with a small budget and a low total cost of the entire squad. Last season the club played in Ligue 2. Having won first place, the team received a direct ticket to the top division of French football. The key figure is 34-year-old striker Yoann Touzghar. In the previous season, the striker scored 16 goals and made four assists. The Tunisian rounded out the top three of the top scorers in Ligue 2. By the way, the footballer remained in the team. To compete successfully with representatives of the elite division, serious strengthening is necessary. The selection department did a good job during the summer transfer window. Five newcomers came and the club spent about 11 million euros on them.

PSG is the grandee of local football. Every year the team is the favorite of all the tournaments it takes part in. In the previous season, the hegemony of the Parisians was interrupted by Lille, which won the gold medals of the French championship. Under the management of the new coach Mauricio Pochettino, Paris Saint-Germain won only the League Cup and the French Cup, but the Parisians failed to achieve success in the championship and the Champions League. In the 2021/2022 season, everyone expects trophies from PSG, as the club has carried out a powerful transfer campaign. It signed contracts with Ramos, Wijnaldum, Pereira, Hakimi, and Donnarumma. Recently, the media have been writing that PSG may buy Paul Pogba from Manchester United.
As noted above, Troyes is a modest team that has a small budget, does not make high-profile transfers, and sets a goal to maintain a place in the top division. The total cost of the squad is one of the lowest in Ligue 1. Several years ago, Troyes had already tried their hand at the elite division. Then PSG never had any problems with an opponent. Now the roster of the Parisians has become even stronger. They gained seven consecutive victories in head-to-head confrontations with a total score of 24-2. As a rule, the metropolitan team beats its opponent with a difference of two goals. And the upcoming game is unlikely to be an exception.
Prediction for the match: Paris Saint-Germain to win with -1.5 handicap
