Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Montpellier will try to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Nantes when they take on Toulouse in the Ligue 1 round 10. La Paillade are eyeing their first home win of the season and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against les Pitchouns. The good news for the hosts is that defender Maxime Esteve is back from suspension, whereas Arnaud Nordin remains on the sidelines with a thigh injury.
Toulouse, meanwhile, are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures, but they face a difficult task in Sunday’s clash. As Montpellier are eager to give fans some cheer at Stade de la Mosson, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. As for the away team, all Zakaria Aboukhlal, Oliver Zanden, and Ibrahim Cissoko are out of contention with injuries, while Stijn Spierings is back from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Téji Savanier):
Born in Montpellier on December 22, 1991, Teji Savanier is a French footballer who plays for Nimes in the Ligue 1 as a midfielder. Savanier began his senior career at Arles-Avignon and it has to be noted that he played for the club from 2011 to 2015.
Ahead of the start of the 2015/2016 Ligue 2 campaign, Teji Savanier joined Nimes and he has been playing for the club ever since. The 171-cm tall midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular at Nimes and he successfully plays for the club in the French top flight. Savanier’s main position is central midfield, but he is used as an attacking midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right.
Despite producing fine performances for Nimes in all competitions, Teji Savanier has yet to receive a call-up for the French national football team. His contract with Nimes should expire on June 27, 2018.
Highlighted Team (Toulouse):
Toulouse are a professional football club that compete in Ligue 1. Les Pitchouns are well known for their purple jerseys with white stripes and it has to be noted that they used to wear red and yellow jerseys in the past. Toulouse welcome their opponents at Stadium Municipal and the capacity of the team’s home ground is 33.150. Stadium Municipal was used as a venue for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
In 1982 the club secured promotion to the Ligue 1 for the first time ever and you should bear in mind that the likes of Jacques Santini and Daniel Jeandupeux were part of the team. A win over Napoli in the round 1 of the 1986/1987 UEFA Cup is considered one of the club’s biggest success as football legend Diego Maradona played for the Italian team back then, attacker Daniel Jeandupeux scored the winner for Toulouse in the penalty shoot-out. Bordeaux are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals and the two teams face each other in Derby de la Garonne.
