Prediction: 1-0
Lorient
Toulouse will be aiming to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 loss to Montpellier when they host Lorient at their Stadium de Toulouse on Wednesday evening. Toulouse have been struggling at the back of late and it has to be noted that they conceded seven goals in total in previous two league fixtures. Les Pitchouns are determined to put an end to their seven-game winless run and, no doubt, they want this win more than Lorient. Les Merlus, on the other hand, are eager to return to the French top flight and, no doubt, they are fully focused on Ligue 2 matches in the 2018/2019 season. In their last meeting at Stadium de Toulouse les Pitchouns emerged triumphant and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. A man to watch in the home side will be Ivory Coast international Max Gradel, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders.
