Stade de l'Aube plays host to Estac Troyes versus Dunkerque in Ligue 2 (matchday 28). Kick-off: Saturday 21 March 2026 at 13:00 UK time.

Form

Estac Troyes (all games): 6W 1D 3L across their last 10 — 1.90 PPG. Last five: D W W W W. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.10 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

Estac Troyes at home: 7W 1D 2L from their last 10 home games — 2.20 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.90 goals scored and 1.30 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.

Dunkerque have collected 1.20 PPG across their last 10 games: 3W 3D 4L. Last five: W D L D L. 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. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Dunkerque away from home: 5W 2D 3L from their last 10 away games — 1.70 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.60 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 1.70 exceeds their overall 1.20 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

The form ledger tips toward Estac Troyes. A 0.70 PPG lead over Dunkerque (1.90 vs 1.20) is a consistent enough margin to carry weight. If the win odds appear compressed, Draw No Bet offers draw insurance at a lower cost than a full switch to Double Chance.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (from Estac Troyes's last 10 home games and Dunkerque's last 10 away games) — Estac Troyes have seen both teams score in 70% of their games, Dunkerque in 60%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

H2H Analysis

The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 5 H2H matches in our data, Dunkerque edge it 3 wins to 1, with 1 draw. Neither side has a commanding advantage.

The 5 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.6 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 29 Aug 2025, ended Estac Troyes 0–2 Dunkerque — a Dunkerque win.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading

Estac Troyes half-time and goal-timing data (last 61 games, 30 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 68% of the time; BTTS occurs in 37% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (home games); they fail to score in 34% of games.

Dunkerque half-time and goal-timing data (last 61 games, 30 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 73% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 85% of the time; of the 21 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 29%; of the 15 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Estac Troyes 38% versus Dunkerque 51%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Estac Troyes 49% | Dunkerque 43%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Estac Troyes 1.56 xG and Dunkerque 1.38 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 1.361 / defence 1.067 | Dunkerque attack 1.101 / defence 1.028. League average goals — home 1.115 / away 1.172. Estac Troyes carry an above-average attack rating of 1.361 — their 1.56 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from Estac Troyes's last 61 games and Dunkerque's last 61.

Result probabilities: Estac Troyes 41% | Draw 27% | Dunkerque 33%. Fair-value odds: Estac Troyes 2.45 | Draw 3.77 | Dunkerque 3.06. 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 2.94. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.94 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 60% — both xG figures (1.56 / 1.38) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Estac Troyes as the most likely outcome at 41% — marginal model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Estac Troyes if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.94 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 56% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Estac Troyes's last 10 home games and Dunkerque's last 10 away games) averaging 2.9 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) | Dunkerque 60% (last 10 away games).
