Paris FC make the trip to Stade de l'Aube to face Estac Troyes in Ligue 2 (matchday 32). The match kicks off on Saturday 13 April 2024 at 19:00 UK time.

Current Form

Estac Troyes's record over their last 10 games: 3W 3D 4L (1.20 PPG). Last five: D W D L L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.50 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

Estac Troyes's home record over their last 10 home games: 6W 0D 4L (1.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.80 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.20 — Estac Troyes are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Paris FC have collected 1.50 PPG across their last 10 games: 3W 6D 1L. Last five: D W W D W. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Paris FC's form when playing away from home: 5W 5D 0L across their last 10 road games (2.00 PPG). Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 5 away clean sheets from their last 10 away games (50%) — they are hard to break down on the road. Their away PPG of 2.00 exceeds their overall 1.50 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.20 PPG for Estac Troyes against 1.50 for Paris FC. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.

H2H History

Neither side has dominated the 1 H2H match in our data: 0 wins for Estac Troyes, 0 for Paris FC and 1 draw — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 4.0 per game across the 1 H2H match we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 28 Oct 2023, ended Estac Troyes 2–2 Paris FC — a draw.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 4.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading

Estac Troyes half-time and goal-timing data (last 69 games, 34 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 76% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 68% of the time; of the 19 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 53%; BTTS occurs in 68% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 44%; they fail to score in 32% of games.

Paris FC half-time and goal-timing data (last 69 games, 34 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 50% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 72% of the time; of the 19 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 32%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 35% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Estac Troyes 64% versus Paris FC 48%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Estac Troyes 56% | Paris FC 45%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Estac Troyes surrender their half-time lead 53% of the time, while Paris FC have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 32% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Estac Troyes 1.41 xG and Paris FC 1.51 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Estac Troyes attack 1.168 / defence 1.219 | Paris FC attack 1.069 / defence 1.025. League average goals — home 1.173 / away 1.160. Estac Troyes's defence rating of 1.219 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Paris FC's projected output up. Data: built from Estac Troyes's last 31 games and Paris FC's last 69.

Result probabilities: Estac Troyes 34% | Draw 27% | Paris FC 39%. Fair-value odds: Estac Troyes 2.94 | Draw 3.70 | Paris FC 2.57. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS Yes probability 60% | Total xG 2.92. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.92 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 60% — both xG figures (1.41 / 1.51) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Paris FC are the pick at 39% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Paris FC if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.92 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 56% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Estac Troyes's last 10 home games and Paris FC's last 10 away games) averaging 2.7 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 60% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Estac Troyes 70% (last 10 home games) | Paris FC 50% (last 10 away games).
