Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Out-of-sorts Toulouse will try to put an end to their three-game losing run when they welcome Nantes to their Stadium de Toulouse on Matchday 6. Les Pitchouns suffered a dip in form, but it seems as if performances are much better than the results. Cameroon forward Frank Magri is expected to keep his place in the starting XI despite failing to convert a penalty in a 1-0 loss to Auxerre, while both Emersonn and Kamanzi are pushing for a start.
Les Canaris, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Rennes. Nantes, though, continue to struggle on the travels, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on the home side. Former Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin is unlikely to feature for the away team after picking up a hamstring injury in the last league match.
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.
