Toulouse and Lille set for a close encounter
Toulouse FC vs Lille OSC - 18/03/2023
2323
On Saturday afternoon, Toulouse and Lille clash at the Stadium de Toulouse as the visitors look to enhance their chances of a European spot in Ligue One this season.
The home side is currently in 11th place in the Ligue One table, 12 points from the European spots and also 12 points from the relegation zone.
A recent three-game losing streak has not helped the home side's chances of making a challenge for the European spots.
However, Philippe Montanier’s team ended that losing streak by recording a 2-0 win at Angers last time out.
Toulouse’s recent league outings have been relatively high-scoring affairs, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight Ligue One matches.
Les Violets have been highly inconsistent on home soil, as they have won two, lost two and drawn one of their previous five home games in Ligue One.
LOSC are just one point outside the European spots in Ligue One. Their attempts to play European football next season have not been helped by back-to-back draws against Lens and, last time out, Lyon.
One positive for Paulo Fonseca’s team is that they have lost just once in their last seven league matches, which was a 4-3 defeat at reigning French champions PSG.
The visitors will look to in-form Canadian international Jonathan David to provide the attacking threat, as the forward has scored 19 goals in 26 Ligue One appearances this season.
One facet of their game that needs to improve if they are to claim a European spot this season is their away record, as LOSC has won just once in their previous five league games on their travels.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that this encounter will produce a low-scoring draw, which will do little to aid the visitor's top-five chances.
