Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Stadium Municipal will host Sunday’s football game between Toulouse and Olympique Marseille, the two mid-table sides. Les Pitchouns aim to build on a 2-1 win over Rennes and their fine form is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Marseille. Switzerland midfielder Vicent Sierro is back from suspension, whereas Mikkel Desler continues to miss out with injury.
OM, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team extending their losing run to three games at Lille. Jean-Louis Gasset’s troops are eager to get back on course and seeing that they will go for a win in Sunday’s clash as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Both Samuel Gigot and Amine Harit are banned for the visiting side, while the likes of Clauss, Rongier, Sarr, and Merlin remain in the recovery room. In their last meeting at the venue Marseille defeated Toulouse 3-2.
Highlighted Player (Amine Harit):
Amine Harit is a French-born Moroccan footballer, who plays for Schalke 04 in Bundesliga. Born in Pontoise (France) on June 18, 1997, Harit began his youth career in the suburbs of Paris, learning the football basics with Argentuil C.O.
After spending four years at Esperance Paris 19eme, the attacking midfielder moved to famous French club Paris Saint-Germain. However, he quickly returned to Esperance Paris 19eme and in 2011 he joined fellow French club Red Star. One year later he moved to Nantes, where he ended his youth career.
Amine Harit continued playing for les Canaris at senior level and after scoring one goal in 30 league games for Nantes, he signed a contract with Bundesliga side Schalke 04. Harit made two appearances for France U21 team, but he represents Morocco at senior level. The attacking midfielder, who is used as a winger as well, made his Morocco debut on October 7, 2017 against Gabon in the 2018 FIFA world cup qualifiers.
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.
