Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Toulouse play host to Metz at their Stadium Municipal on day 7 of the new Ligue 1 campaign. Les Pitchouns kicked off the new domestic campaign with a 2-1 win over Nantes, but they are on a five-game winless run in the national championship ahead of Sunday’s clash. Norway midfielder Aron Donnum is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Lens, whereas all Zakaria Aboukhlal, Naatan, Skytta, Oliver Zanden, and Ibrahim Cissoko are sidelined with injuries.
Les Grenats, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Metz. Since both sides have been involved in some low-scoring games of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. The likes of Joseph Nduquidi, Ismael Traore, and Maxime Colin miss out through injuries for the visiting team. You should bear in mind that there have been under 2.5 goals in four of their last five meetings in all competitions.
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.
