Prediction: 1-2
Marseille
Toulouse and Olympique Marseille square off against each other at Stadium Municipal in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. Les Pitchouns head into the match following back-to-back draws with Nantes and Nice and, no doubt, they should be satisfied with yet another share of spoils. Boss Carles Martinez Novell has a luxury to field the best possible side against OM.
The visitors, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Reims at the weekend. Olympique Marseille are eager to return to winning ways as soon as possible and seeing that they enjoy playing at Stadium Municipal, away triumph should be considered. It has to be noted that Marseille have emerged triumphant in four of the previous five meetings with Toulouse at Stadium Municipal. All Faris Moumbagna, Ismael Kone, and Ruben Blanco are injured for the visiting team.
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.
