What to expect
We expect about 1.7 goals from Lorient and 1.2 from Troyes, so Lorient come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.9 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Troyes come into this on two straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Lorient to win. Lorient are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.7-1.2), and we make them about 65% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 65 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.90, which works out at about 53 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

One thing to watch
Troyes only need one good spell or a set-piece to nick something, and short-priced favourites slip up plenty. We make it about 65%: a lean, not a lock.
