Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Stadium Municipal will host the opening match of the Ligue 1 round 15, which pits together Toulouse and St Etienne. Les Pitchouns aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Monaco and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against les Verts, who struggle on the travels. Rasmus Nicolaisen remains in the recovery room, but the 27-year-old defender should be the only absentee in the home team.
St Etienne, on the other hand, aim to recover from back-to-back losses to Rennes and Marseille, but given their poor away record in the new Ligue1 campaign, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. It has to be noted that les Verts have conceded ten goals in total in the last three away games. Mathieu Cafaro has yet to serves his ban, while all Wadji, Moueffek, Boakye, Macon, Nade, and Briancon miss out with injuries.
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.
