Troyes - Paris FC

Troyes and Paris FC begin their respective Ligue 1 journeys on 22 August 2026, meeting at Stade de l'Aube for matchday 1. Both sides enter this opening fixture looking to establish immediate momentum, with the hosts set to rely on an expected starting XI featuring Renaud Ripart in attack and a midfield anchored by Iron Gomis. Paris FC arrive with a squad bolstered by the inclusion of Kevin Trapp in goal and Lassine Sinayoko leading the line, though they must navigate this challenge without Nhoa Sangui, who remains sidelined due to injury.

The recent history between these two clubs heavily favors the visitors, who have maintained a dominant run in their meetings over the past few seasons. Paris FC secured a 1-0 victory in their most recent competitive encounter on 21 February 2025, following a convincing 3-0 win in October 2024. As Troyes look to turn the tide on home soil, the question remains whether their revamped lineup can disrupt a Paris FC side that has consistently found success in this matchup.
