Nice

LLLWWL

Nice will be wanting a better result here following the 2-0 Ligue 1 loss in their previous game against Strasbourg.

In that match, Nice managed 61% possession and 9 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. At the other end, Strasbourg got 12 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Habib Diallo (1', 59') was the scorer for Strasbourg.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent times where Nice haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Nice have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 8 goals during that time.

Coming into this contest, Nice have not lost a league tie with Toulouse in their last 5 games.

Toulouse

LWWLDD ⚖

In their previous fixture, Toulouse drew 0-0 in the Ligue 1 match with Nantes.

In that game, Toulouse managed 71% possession and 14 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Nantes had 8 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target.

A series of very capable displays by the Toulouse defenders has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their previous 6 clashes overall. Over that same period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 7. We will just have to find out if that trend will end up being sustained here.

Looking at their past form shows that Toulouse:

• have left without a victory over Nice when they've played them away from home in the last 2 matches in the league.
• are unbeaten in their last 3 away league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Nice

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just one fitness concern for the Nice gaffer Didier Digard to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Youssouf Ndayishimiye (Knee Problems) is sidelined.

It seems likely that Les Aiglons look set to kick off with a 4-3-3 system for the game, utilising Kasper Schmeichel, Jordan Lotomba, Jean-Clair Todibo, Dante, Youcef Atal, Hichem Boudaoui, Pablo Rosario, Alexis Beka, Badredine Bouanani, Terem Moffi and Gaetan Laborde.

🗞️ Team News: Toulouse

Owing to a fully injury-free group to choose from, the Toulouse manager Philippe Montanier doesn’t have any fitness worries at all coming into this clash.

From our viewpoint, Toulouse appear most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 system, settling for Maxime Dupe, Mikkel Desler, Logan Costa, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Gabriel Suazo, Vincent Sierro, Stijn Spierings, Denis Genreau, Rafael Ratao, Thijs Dallinga and Fares Chaibi.
