Angers vs Troyes Prediction 19 September 2026
🔊 Angers have gone eight consecutive Ligue 1 home matches without a win. Against Troyes at home, though, it's a different story: they have won five successive meetings in all competitions as the home side. One of those runs will end on Saturday. Both teams have four points after four matchdays, and the fifth-round fixture takes place on 19 September at the Stade Raymond-Kopa.
Head-to-Head
📊 The last time these two sides met was in April 2024, when both were still in the second division. Mouhamad Diop of Troyes scored first, but Angers fought back to win. Since then their paths have diverged: Angers returned to Ligue 1 that same season, while Troyes have only come back up now.
Head-to-head statistics Angers - Troyes
Angers Team Overview
Stefan Gilli took charge of Angers in the summer, replacing Alexandre Dujeux. He knows Ligue 1 well, having won promotion to the division with Paris in 2025. At home, Angers have nothing to show yet: Lille and Rennes both left the Raymond-Kopa with maximum points. Away from home, the side beat Auxerre 3-1 and drew 0-0 in Le Havre. The hero in that game was Anthony Lopes, who made six saves and kept his first clean sheet for his new club.
The main problem for the hosts is their attack at home. In two home matches this season, Angers have scored just once. That said, when they do score before half-time, they tend to hold on: that has been the case in 4 of their 5 such Ligue 1 matches in 2026.
Match Results: Angers
Troyes Team Overview
Stefan Dumont led Troyes to promotion from Ligue 2 as champions. Their start in the top flight was encouraging: a goalless draw with Paris and a win at Lorient, where Ripard and Maronnier scored. Then came two setbacks. At home, Troyes lost 6-2 to Strasbourg, and they left Lille without a point or a goal. If the run continues on Saturday, it will be the first time that has happened to the club in the top flight since 2023.
Dumont's side press boldly: Troyes are second in the league for ball recoveries in the final third, averaging 6.3 per game. Heavy away defeats are rare for them - they have lost by more than one goal in just 1 of their last 21 away matches. That one exception was the recent game at Lille.

Latest news
Angers
❌ Haris Belkebla missed the match at Le Havre with a leg injury and may not be fit in time for Saturday. Mouton, however, has returned to the squad.
Troyes
❌ Dumont has problems at full-back. Left-back Ismaël Boura has been out since pre-season with a hip injury. Right-back Yvann Titi is being treated for a thigh problem, and Troyes do not expect either player back any time soon. The local press also do not expect Mervan Ifnaoui to be available for the match against Angers. Paolo Gozzi, who has been troubled by a neck problem, and midfielder Alexandre Philippon are both doubts.
Predicted Lineups
📋 Predicted starting XI - Angers: Lopes - Arcus, Camara, Lefort, Kalulu - Belkhdim, Van den Boomen - Mouton, Diatta, Sbai - El Ouazzani.
📋 Predicted starting XI - Troyes: Beach - Maronnier, Monfray, Diaz, Ouzenadji - Mille, Diop - Ripart, Karim, Picard - Le Douaron.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
At home, Angers have scored more than one goal in none of their last ten Ligue 1 matches. Across all venues the picture is the same: 19 of their last 20 league matches. So we are not expecting the hosts to score more than one on Saturday either. The bet is Angers Team Total - Under 1.5 at 1.62*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Troyes have been consistent with corners, winning at least four in each of their last six matches. Over their last 10 matches, the visitors have averaged 6.4 corners per game. Their opponents over that same period have averaged five. Combining these figures, Troyes come out at more than five corners per match. The bet is Troyes Team Total Corners - Over 3.5 at 1.73*.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
In their last 10 matches, Angers players have received 16 yellow cards, with their opponents picking up exactly the same number. Troyes have fewer bookings: 14 for their own players and 12 for their opponents. That works out to an average of 3.2 cards per Angers match and 2.6 per Troyes match. Both figures are above 2.5, and combining them gives an average of 2.9 bookings per match. The bet is Total Yellow Cards - Over 2.5.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers
⭐️ Editorial Prediction
Both teams have scored in seven consecutive head-to-head meetings. Angers' defence has also been poor in the league, conceding in 9 of their last 10 championship matches. Troyes will get their chance. The risk is the visitors' weak attack: Troyes are among the bottom three in the league for goals scored. We don't expect either side to keep a clean sheet. The bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1-1.
