Convincing at the start of the season last year, Sochaux finally slackened in mid-season to find himself in the second half of the table, in 14th place in March. Despite many departures from executives, the Franc-Comtois have shown great things during the summer by gleaning 4 successes against amateur teams and then facing a well-reworked PSG team (1-0). In confidence, the men of Omar Daf went to seek a precious success on the ground of Auxerre last weekend (0-2).
For its part, Troyes missed the boat last year. Once again present in the race to climb, the Estac finished in 4th place in the standings with only 2 points behind 2nd place in Lensoise when the season was definitively interrupted and the club would no doubt have liked that the season is coming to an end. Revengeful, Laurent Battles’ men are once again ambitious this year. Before the resumption, the Trojans gained confidence by dominating Sedan (3-1) then the relegated Amiens (1-2). Monday, they took the measure of Le Havre (2-0) during the first day and already trust a place at the top of the table.

Sochaux had to reinvent itself this summer following the departures of top scorer Sané (10 goals), very good right midfielder Livolant, managerial defenders Lacroix and Teikeu, starting winger Touré and left-back Rocchia. In the opposite direction, former Stéphanois Florentin Pogba, left-back Ndour (Strasbourg), attacking midfielder Soumaré (Dijon), midfielders Lopy (Orléans), Ambri (Valenciennes), Lyon striker Kitala and striker de Charleroi Bédia are all committed to the Lionceaux. On the other hand, the potential holders M’Bakata, Kaabouni and Lasme are all in the infirmary for this meeting. For his first in his new colors, striker Kitala was decisive.
On the Trojan side, Lenny Pintor saw his loan period end and returned to Lyon while the midfielder Tchimbembé joined Metz. To replace them, Dylan Saint Louis (Beershot) and Kouamé, from Portugal, have signed up. On top of that, Pape Souaré was not retained while veteran Darbion hung up his crampons. Note that the important left side Mambo and substitutes Dembélé and Pires will not be able to play this match. Just arrived in the Aube, the young Englishman Lumeka stood out by scoring a brace on Matchday 1 a few minutes after coming into play.
