Lyon finished their last season’s campaign in number 8th position with 61 points. They lost a total of ten matches, won seventeen matches, and drew just eleven matches. They have to push more in their games this season to also participate in any of the UEFA competitions.

Troyes ranked 15 in the 2021/2022 season campaign. Their games were full of losses and winning. They escaped relegation by finishing the season with 38 points which consisted of 9 wins, 11 draws, and 18 losses. We can say their performance is not s good as Lyon’s team.
