Toulouse

LLLDWW 🌤

Toulouse head into the clash following a 2-1 Ligue 1 win in the defeat of Lyon in their last fixture.

In that game, Toulouse had 39% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 6 on target. For Toulouse, goals were scored by Dayann Methalie (10') and Warren Kamanzi (78'). Lyon had 18 shots on goal with 3 on target. Corentin Tolisso (71') scored for Lyon.

Toulouse have seen success in front of goal in their most recent fixtures, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. Having said that, Toulouse have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same outings. That pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, of course.

Coming into this fixture, Toulouse remain undefeated by Nantes when having played them away from home in the previous 2 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Nantes

The Nantes boss Vahid Halilhodžić has a full complement, with no fitness worries at all before this match thanks to a completely healthy group available to select from.

In our view, Les Canaris could employ a 3-5-2 system this time featuring Anthony Lopes, Chidozie Awaziem, Sekou Doucoure, Nicolas Cozza, Mathieu Acapandie, Mohamed Kaba, Ibrahima Sissoko, Johann Lepenant, Frederic Guilbert, Matthis Abline and Ignatius Ganago.

ℹ️ Team News: Toulouse

Thanks to a fully injury-free group ready to go, the Toulouse manager Carles Martínez Novell has zero fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this game.

We reckon that Toulouse seem likely to begin the game with a 3-4-3 system by sending out Guillaume Restes, Mark McKenzie, Charlie Cresswell, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Warren Kamanzi, Alexis Vossah, C. Casseres Jr., Dayann Methalie, Santiago Hidalgo, Jacen Russell-Rowe and Yann Gboho.

✨ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Toulouse and Nantes could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.

A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely. We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought 1-1 score draw at the end of the 90.
