Troyes and Nice will trade tackles on Sunday, with three points on the line in Sunday's early Ligue 1 kickoff.
The home side come into the clash on the back of a 2-0 defeat away to Nantes before the international break. Andrei Girotto and Ludovic Bias scored second-half goals to guide their team to victory.
Nice secured maximum points with a narrow 2-1 victory over Brest on home turf. Jean-Clair Todibo and Melvin Bard scored in either half to secure maximum points.
That win continued their fine run of form and they are currently in third spot in the table, with 16 points from eight matches. Troyes occupy the other spectrum of the standings and are just outside the relegation zone on goal difference.
Troyes vs Nice Head-to-Head
Nice have seven wins from their last 14 matches against Troyes. The two sides shared the spoils on four occasions while three matches ended in victory for Sunday's hosts.
Their most recent clash came in April 2018 when Alassane Plea's brace gave Nice a 2-0 victory away from home.
Troyes have found the going tough since their return to the top-flight and are currently on a four-game winless run. Nice have been one of the surprise teams this campaign and have won five of their last seven league games.
