Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Sunday’s football game at Stadium Municipal pits together Toulouse and Auxerre, the two top-table sides. Les Pitchouns are sitting in tenth position in the standings ahead of the visit of Auxerre, but they were on a three-game winning run before a 3-0 loss at PSG. Defender Rasmus Nicolaisen remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Christophe Pelissier’s troops, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the French top flight, but beating Toulouse on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, a close encounter is on the cards and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team, but both Ange Loic N’Gatta and Ousoumane Camara remain in the treatment room.
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.
