Nantes

LWLWLD

Nantes go into this fixture following on from a 1-1 Ligue 1 stalemate vs Paris Saint-Germain.

In that match, Nantes had 25% possession and 8 shots on goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Nantes was Douglas Augusto (83'). At the other end, Paris Saint-Germain got 10 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Vitinha (33') was the scorer for Paris Saint-Germain.

It has been all too rare in recent times where Nantes have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Nantes have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 8 goals in the process.

Looking at their past form shows that Nantes:

• have not lost a league tie with Toulouse in their last 2 games.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 league matches at home.

Toulouse

DLLLLL 🔻

Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Reims in Ligue 1 competition, Toulouse and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Toulouse managed 48% possession and 18 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. On the other side, Reims got 8 shots at goal with 2 on target. Jordan Siebatcheu (39') scored for Reims.

The numbers tell their own story, and Toulouse have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 13 goals in all. Defensively, Toulouse have some weaknesses to address. With no two games being the same, we will just have to wait and see if that trend will be sustained in this upcoming game.

Ahead of this clash, Toulouse haven’t won away from home in the past 3 league games.

ℹ️ Team News: Nantes

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Nantes gaffer Antoine Kombouaré to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Francis Coquelin (Hamstring injury) is sidelined.

It seems likely that Les Canaris could kick off with a 3-5-2 formation for this game, utilising Patrik Carlgren, J. Castelletto, Nicolas Pallois, Nathan Zeze, Kelvin Amian, Douglas Augusto, Pedro Chirivella, Johann Lepenant, Nicolas Cozza, Matthis Abline and Moses Simon.

🗞️ Team News: Toulouse

Toulouse boss Carles Martínez Novell has not got a full squad to pick from. Niklas Schmidt (Cruciate ligament tear) and Rasmus Nicolaisen (Injury to the ankle) miss out here.

We believe Toulouse appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 system, starting Guillaume Restes, Djibril Sidibe, Charlie Cresswell, Jaydee Canvot, Aron Doennum, C. Casseres Jr., Vincent Sierro, Gabriel Suazo, Frank Magri, Noah Edjouma and Joshua King.

💭 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Nantes will really need to work well to find the net against this Toulouse outfit who will likely get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

That’s why our selection here is for a very even match with a 0-1 advantage for Toulouse at the end of the 90 minutes.

Let’s see what happens.
