Pau FC vs Troyes Prediction & Betting Tips (3 November)

While it had started this new exercise with a bang, Pau FC was suddenly stopped in its tracks over the last two days. This downturn started last week, at home, when the residents of Nouste Camp were largely beaten by Dunkerque 0-3. The rest was even more difficult for the Béarnais who experienced a real nightmare Tuesday evening on the ground of Saint-Etienne 6-0, thus seeing the leader slip away with 6 lengths ahead in the standings now. After the draw conceded against Grenoble after the international break 1-1, it has been 3 days since Pau FC last won. In Troyes, on the other hand, all the lights are green at the start of November.

The last few somewhat delicate seasons seem definitively digested on the Estac side, which now aims to be able to return to the elite in the coming months. It must be said that Stéphane Dumont's men are at the top of the standings with a nice lead of 4 points over their first 2 pursuers. Undefeated for almost 2 months, the Aubois were able to defeat Bastia 1-0 before picking up a point during the Champagne Derby in Reims 0-0. Finally, on Tuesday evening, they ended up overthrowing Amiens 3-1 and maintaining their lead at the top of the table.

The Béarnais will still not be able to count on a full group at the start of the week. And for good reason, midfielder Beusnard, and central defender Ruiz always have to be patient in the infirmary. Suspended during the trip to Saint-Etienne, defender Kanté should this time be available this Monday but it will be Karamoko's turn to be sanctioned after his red card received Tuesday evening in Saint-Etienne.

The Béarnais can, on the other hand, rely on midfielder Versini (3 goals), on the revelation Sadik (3 goals) and on the experienced Bobichon (2 goals) who could all pose problems for the Estac defense. Midfielders Glossoa and Touzghar, who each have 2 assists, could take their place in the heart of the game.
