Prediction: 2-1
Toulouse
Lille will be aiming to build on a 3-2 win over Nimes when they host Toulouse at their Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Matchday 19. Les Dogues have been impressive in the Ligue 1 this season and they totally deserve to sit in second place in the standings ahead of day 19. Lille are undefeated on home soil this term, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Saturday’s football game. Les Pitchouns, on the other hand, are determined to secure yet another Ligue 1 survival, but seeing that they are only four points clear of the relegation zone, Alain Casanova’s men will have to be at their sharpest in the remainder of the season if they are to avoid relegation to Ligue 2. In previous two meetings between the two teams in the French top flight Lille emerged triumphant, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.

Highlighted Player (Nicolas Pépé):
Born in France to parents of Ivorian descent, Nicolas Pepe became a full Ivory Coast international in 2016. In a symbolic twist of events, Pepe was handed his Ivory Coast debut in a goalless draw against his birth nation France days after receiving his first-ever call-up.
Pepe began his career in the lower leagues in Poitiers in 2012, before moving to Angers a year later. Having proven his qualities in the second-string side, Pepe was instated in Angers’ first team in 2013. Four years later – which included a season-long loan spell at Orleans – Nicolas Pepe was transferred to Lille. Les Dogues beat several sides to the signature of this pacey winger who is no stranger to scoring goals. Quick with his feet, Pepe can be deployed on the right wing and as a centre-forward.
The Ivory Coast international is unpredictable in his movement and not easy to keep an eye on, especially because of his powerful left foot.
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.
