Toulouse

WLWLDD ⚖

Toulouse enter this game coming off the back of a 1-1 Ligue 1 draw vs Nice.

In that game, Toulouse had 43% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Toulouse was Shavy Babicka (73'). For their opponents, Nice got 10 shots at goal with 3 on target. Jonathan Clauss (53') scored for Nice.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Toulouse have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Toulouse have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 8 goals along the way. With no two games being the same, it remains to be seen whether the trend might be sustained in this next match or not.

Leading up to this clash, Toulouse:

• have not been beaten in the league by Marseille in their last 2 games.
• have not won against Marseille in their previous 20 league matches. What a terrible run without a win that has been.
• are without a win at home for the past 6 league matches. Fans are getting restless.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking over past results between these clubs going back to 24/11/2019 shows that these encounters have ended in disappointment for Toulouse.

A combined sum of 19 goals were produced between them in these games, with 5 of them from Toulouse and 14 belonging to Les Olympiens. The average goals per game has been 3.17.

The last league contest featuring these sides was Ligue 1 match day 30 on 21/04/2024 and the score finished Toulouse 2-2 Marseille.

On that occasion, Toulouse managed 46% possession and 10 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. The goals were scored by Rasmus Nicolaisen (45') and Yann Gboho (82').

Marseille had 11 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Jean Onana (38') and Faris Moumbagna (96') scored.

🗞️ Team News: Toulouse

In our view, Toulouse could employ a 4-2-3-1 system this time featuring Guillaume Restes, Warren Kamanzi, Charlie Cresswell, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Gabriel Suazo, Vincent Sierro, C. Casseres Jr., Zakaria Aboukhlal, Yann Gboho, Aron Doennum and Frank Magri.

📰 Team News: Marseille

Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi has not got a full squad to pick from. Bilal Nadir (Partial damage to the cruciate ligament), Rubén Blanco (Ankle injury) and Faris Moumbagna (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out on this game.

There’s a good chance that Les Olympiens appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Geronimo Rulli, Michael Murillo, Derek Cornelius, Lilian Brassier, Quentin Merlin, P. Hoejbjerg, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Mason Greenwood, Amine Harit, Luis Henrique and Elye Wahi.

⚡ Prediction

Our thinking is that Toulouse will do well to be putting a goal past this Marseille team who we reckon will score & stay on top.

We’re therefore expecting a very even contest with a 0-1 winning margin for Marseille at the conclusion of the game.

It should be a good one.
