Troyes take on Clermont Foot at the Stade de l'Aube in round 30 of the French Ligue 1 on Sunday. The home side will set out to snap their dire winless run and begin their push from the relegation zone.
Troyes suffered a fresh blow in their race to beat the drop as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Auxerre at the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps last Saturday.
Patrick Kisnorbo’s men have now gone 13 consecutive games without a win, picking up three draws and losing 10, including a 2-0 defeat against Lille in the Coupe de France on January 8.
With 21 points from 29 matches, Troyes are currently 18th in the Ligue 1 table, level on points with 19th-placed Ajaccio and five points off safety.
Meanwhile, Clermont Foot returned to winning ways last time out as they edged out Ajaccio 2-1 at the Stade Gabriel Montpied.
Prior to that, Pascal Gastien’s side were on a two-game losing streak, suffering consecutive defeats against Lens and Montpellier respectively.
With 37 points from 29 games, Clermont Foot are currently 12th in the league table, level on points with 11th-placed Montpellier.
