Toulouse

WLLWDW

Toulouse are hoping to win again after their last result, a 1-2 Ligue 1 triumph versus Rennes.

In that match, Toulouse managed 45% possession and 10 shots on goal with 3 on target. For Toulouse, goals were scored by Cristian Cásseres (22') and Moussa Diarra (32'). For their opponents, Rennes had 18 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Désiré Doué (20') was the scorer for Rennes.

Carles Martínez Novell's Toulouse have netted 9 times over their last six outings. Conversely, the tally of goals that have been scored against them in those same fixtures is 6.

Their past results show that Toulouse:

• have not beaten Marseille in their previous 19 matches in the league. That has got to hurt.
• are without a home win in the past 2 league games.

Marseille

LLLLLW

Marseille go into this encounter after a 1-0 Europa League win over Benfica in their previous match.

In that match, Marseille had 55% possession and 19 attempts on goal with 5 on target. The scorer for Marseille was Faris Moumbagna (79'). Benfica got 11 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. The game was won 4-2 by Marseille on penalties.

The stats don’t lie, and Marseille have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 12 goals in total. Defensively, Marseille have not been doing too well. We will just have to see whether or not that trend will be sustained here.

Analysis of their past results shows that Marseille:

• are undefeated by Toulouse when they've played them away from home in the last 14 league games. An amazing record against them.
• are without an away win for the past 2 matches in the league.

↔️ Head to head

Checking on their past head to head results stretching back to 18/05/2019 tells us that these fixtures have not been good ones for Toulouse.

Loads of goals were seen in those games, too - 22 in all which averages out at 3.67 goals per meeting.

The last league encounter between these clubs was Ligue 1 match day 5 on 17/09/2023 when it ended Marseille 0-0 Toulouse.

📰 Team News: Toulouse

The Toulouse manager Carles Martínez Novell will be happy not to have any fitness concerns at all before this match owing to a completely healthy squad to pick from.

We think that Toulouse should make use of the 3-4-3 system in the match with Guillaume Restes, Logan Costa, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Moussa Diarra, Warren Kamanzi, Stijn Spierings, Vincent Sierro, Gabriel Suazo, Aron Doennum, Thijs Dallinga and Yann Gboho.

📋 Team News: Marseille

Marseille boss Jean-Louis Gasset has to currently contend with reduced team options. Jonathan Clauss (Torn muscle bundle), Jean Onana (Muscle injury), Valentin Rongier (Broken kneecap), Bilal Nadir (Cruciate ligament tear), Quentin Merlin (Ankle sprain) and Bamo Meïté (Ankle sprain) are not able to play.

We are inclined to think that Les Olympiens could decide to utilise a 4-3-3 system, settling for Pau Lopez, Ulisses Garcia, Chancel Mbemba, Leonardo Balerdi, Michael Murillo, Jordan Veretout, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Pape Gueye, Iliman Ndiaye, Faris Moumbagna and P. Aubameyang.

🧠 Prediction

We believe that Toulouse might have a difficult job to score against this Marseille outfit who we reckon should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We therefore see a good tussle with a 0-1 win for Marseille at the end of the 90 minutes.

Hoping for a good game.
