On Friday night, Toulouse and Lyon clash at the Stadium de Toulouse as the visitors look to boost their chances of European qualification from Ligue One.
The home team has endured an inconsistent Ligue One campaign and currently sit in 12th place in the French top-flight table. They are 12 points clear of the relegation zone and 14 points adrift of the European spots.
Philippe Montanier’s team has lost five of their last seven games in the French top flight. However, last time out, Toulouse recorded a 2-1 win at Montpellier.
The game against Montpellier was another high-scoring encounter for Toulouse in Ligue One, as eight of their 11 league matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
Toulouse has a poor recent home record in Ligue One, as they have suffered three straight home defeats in the French top flight, having failed to score in their last two home league matches.
OL extended their recent unbeaten run in Ligue One to six games by recording a 3-1 home win over Rennes last time out. The win means that they have won three and drawn three of the six unbeaten matches.
The visitors are now just five points outside the league’s European spots, although time is running out for Laurent Blanc’s team to break into Ligue One’s top five.
Their recent league matches have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last nine Ligue One matches.
Lyon has been relatively difficult to beat on their travels, as they have lost just one of their previous eight away games in the French top-flight. OL has also been relatively prolific on their travels of late in Ligue One, scoring at least two goals in five of their last eight away matches.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts these two teams will cancel each other out to produce a low-scoring draw, which could dent OL’s European challenge.
