After three wins in a row, Troyes hopes to continue his series, the best of Ligue 2 currently, on the field of Nancy this Friday (20:00) for the 14th day: a victory and the Aube club would take the lead, at the less temporarily.
Difficult to find regularity this season in L2, even among the leaders who have succeeded at the beginning of the season (Lorient, Lens, Le Havre ...).
At this game, it is the Estac that holds the cord of the moment, with this series of three successes. Admittedly, they were obtained only by a minimum margin: 2-1 against Le Mans, 1-0 in Lorient then against Valenciennes, but this gave the men of Laurent Batlles a place on the podium, on equal points ( 25) with the first two, Lens and Ajaccio.
"Today, we are consistent in what we propose, even if we still have a lot of margin," said the coach, who would like to repeat the strong series of four successes obtained between late August and late September.
Lens playing only Monday, in Rodez, and Ajaccio only Saturday, in Guingamp, the Trojans can therefore be alone up for a few hours at least, even in case of a draw.
But beware of the reaction of Lorient (4th, 24 points), ex-leader mired in his four matches in a row without a win. Against Niort (14th) Friday, the Hake host much more unstable than them and have all the arguments to start again.
The Chamois have not won since August, as Le Havre (8th) who goes to Sochaux (5th) Friday.
Since it will be to continue or break series this weekend, attention to those of Caen (15th) and Le Mans (17th), both in search of a third success in a row that confirm their recovery.
