Prediction: 2-1
Toulouse
Lens will be aiming to recover from the Coupe de France loss to PSG when they take on Toulouse in the Ligue 1 round 16. Lens defeated Montpellier 2-0 in their last home game and they are seen as favourites to beat les Pitchouns in front of home fans as well. Both Ruben Aguilar and Remy Lascary are sidelined with injuries, while duo Sidi Bane – Nampalys Mendy will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. \
Toulouse, on the other hand, survived Hauts Lyonnais in the French Cup, but they will have a mountain to climb at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Considering that les Pitchouns have been struggling on the travels of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. The good news for the visiting side is that Venezuela midfielder Cristian Caceres is back from suspension, while both Said Hamulic and Oliver Zanden remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Angelo Fulgini):
Angelo Fulgini is a French footballer who plays for Angers in Ligue as a midfielder. Fulgini played for the likes of AS de Saint-Paul-en-Foret, FC Vidauban, SC Douai and Valenciennes during his youth career and he continued playing for the Athenians at senior level.
After scoring eight goals in 80 appearances for Valenciennes from 2015 to 2017, he moved to Angers before the start of the 2017/2018 Ligue 1 campaign and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular at Stade Raymond-Kopa. Angelo Fulgini scored his first ever goal for les Scoistes on August 6, 2017 in a 2-2 draw with Bordeaux. Despite being born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, on August 20, 1996, the Angers midfielder represents France on the international stage.
Angelo Fulgini has 3 caps for the France U21 team, while making 15 appearances for the U19 team. His main position is central midfield, but he is uses as both right-back and right midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right.
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.
