Troyes and Lens meet in clearly different states. Troyes have just lost 0-2 in back-to-back games and still have not won in the league for many matches. Their attack is badly stuck, scoring only 4 goals from 6 games, while Lens have just won away in the league 2-1 before losing 0-2 in a European cup match. The visitors also have an attack that creates chances more consistently. Troyes have problems both creating chances and finishing, with only 3.7 shots on target per game and clearly less possession than their opponents. Lens, meanwhile, have 5.9 shots on target per game and more possession. Overall, the visitors clearly have more tools to open up the attack. If Lens can take the lead first, the game is likely to flow the visitors' way, because Troyes when trailing tend to open up and concede more space. What to watch is how quickly Lens can press until they get a goal.
