  • 10' ES Troyes AC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 58' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
