In the realm of French
League 2,
Troyes AC is set to host
AC Ajaccio on April 11, 2025. With both squads navigating a season filled with ups and downs, this encounter promises to be a pivotal moment in their campaigns.
Squad Analysis
Troyes AC will be looking to key figures like Renaud Ripart, a forward renowned for his knack of finding the net, and midfielder Xavier Chavalerin, who is instrumental in dictating the tempo of the game. Defense will rely heavily on Thierno Balde and the versatile Ismael Boura to keep things tight at the back. Missing from the squad are Nicolas Lemaitre, a dependable presence between the sticks, and the dynamic Jaures Assoumou, both of whom are sidelined.
AC Ajaccio, on the other hand, will pin their hopes on the experience of forward Yoann Touzghar and the creativity of Mickael Barreto in midfield. Clement Vidal provides solidity in defense, while Francois-Joseph Sollacaro guards the goalposts with an authoritative presence. The team will feel the absence of Stephen Quemper and Benjamin Santelli, both vital cogs in their tactical machine.

At all, here’s the happen next. FC Metz tangle with Red Star Football Club, 19 April 2025 — two sides that don’t mess about.

That’s the lot laid out—enough to get your head spinning. League 2 mid-table teams play for pride, but the top dogs hunt in packs.
