Toulouse

WLLWLW

Toulouse will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following a 0-2 Ligue 1 success over Angers SCO.

In that match, Toulouse had 60% possession and 8 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. For Toulouse, the scorers were Mikkel Desler (37') and Thijs Dallinga (46'). At the other end, Angers got 13 attempts at goal with 2 on target.

It’s not been often in recent times that Toulouse have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Toulouse have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 9 goals in the process. We shall soon find out whether or not that trend can be continued on in this game.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Toulouse:

• have left without a victory over Lille in their previous 2 league matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.

📋 Team News: Toulouse

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Toulouse manager Philippe Montanier to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Rhys Healey (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) is sidelined.

We are thinking that Toulouse may well go for a 4-3-3 system for this game, handing starts to Maxime Dupe, Mikkel Desler, Anthony Rouault, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Gabriel Suazo, B. van den, Stijn Spierings, Brecht Dejaeghere, Zakaria Aboukhlal, Thijs Dallinga and Fares Chaibi.

ℹ️ Team News: Lille

Lille boss Paulo Fonseca has to currently contend with reduced team options. Tiago Djaló (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Ismaily (Dead Leg) are not ready for selection.

We are inclined to think that LOSC appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Lucas Chevalier, Timothy Weah, Jose Fonte, Alexsandro Ribeiro, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Angel Gomes, Andre Gomes, Adam Ounas, Remy Cabella, Jonathan Bamba and Jonathan David.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Toulouse will need to put in a solid display to hit the back of the net against this Lille lineup who should gain the upper hand.

We therefore fancy a narrow 0-1 win for Lille at the end of the 90.

Let’s see what happens.
