Preview: Montpellier HSC vs. Troyes - prediction, team news, H2H Live stream


Halfway through last season 2021-2022, Montpellier was in fifth place, and it seemed that it would finish in the top half of the French top division standings table for the fifth consecutive season.

However, Montpellier fell away in the second half of the season, winning only three of the last 19 matches, which put him in thirteenth place.

Their poor showing continued from the end of the previous season until in the pre-season, Montpellier had lost all five of their friendly matches to the clubs.

Olivier Dal Oglio will be greatly worried, as his team conceded nine goals in their previous two friendly matches against both Toulouse and Crystal Palace.

Despite suffering in the run-up to the new season, Montpellier is looking for at least a positive result on Sunday after losing only once from their previous ten matches in the French league against the Troyes team.

While Troy finished last season five points behind Montpellier, they would have considered the 2021-22 campaign a success.

As a newly arrived team, the Troyes managed to finish the campaign six points ahead of the third-place finisher in fifteenth place, and the team will be aiming for a similar position this term.

 Before his first full season at the helm, team coach Bruno Earles added the likes of Savio, Jackson boruzzo, and Andreas Bruce to the lineup.

Troy saw mixed results in preparation for the new season, losing 6-1 and 4-0 to Toulouse and Metz in the first two preseason games, but they also managed to win 3-0 over Le Havre before beating Nancy 5. -4 at the end of last week.

They will now turn their focus to Sunday's away game, where they will try to win their opening Ligue 1 game for the first time since 2001.

Missing from Montpellier is the player Jordan Ferry, who will be suspended for one match due to the accumulation of yellow cards that will go from last season.

Dall'oglio could make a competitive debut for most of the summer signings, including Wahbi Khazri and Arnaud Jordan who came from Saint-Etienne.

Last season's top scorer Elie Wahi could play in the attack for the hosts on Sunday after the 19-year-old scored 10 goals in the French league last season.

As for the guests, Karim Azam is absent due to a long-term injury, while Adil Rami is doubtful for the season opener.

After winning the friendly match against Nancy last weekend, Bruce and boruzzo could have their first official match with Troyes on Sunday.
