Toulouse vs Lille Preview and Team News

Toulouse Team News

Toulouse have been in average form recently. Prior to their clash against Marseille, they were winless in three matches. These included two back-to-back defeats away to Strasbourg (2-1) and at home to Brest (2-4), following a 1-1 tie at home to Monaco.

The 3-2 loss to Marseille means they’ve recorded a solitary win in their last five encounters. 

Merci à tous les supporters présents ce soir au Vélodrome 👏

Their general form reflects 9 victories, 7 draws, and 12 defeats in 28 rounds of Ligue 1 fixtures. They’ve scored 37 goals in this run while conceding 36.

In the squad, Toulouse have three injury absentees. Rasmus Nicolaisen (ankle), Niklas Schmidt (cruciate ligament tear), and Zakaria Aboukhlal (dead leg). These players are major doubts for Saturday’s clash against Lille.

My prediction in this event captures the struggles that have characterised Toulouse’s recent games. They will need to get the balance of their performance, especially control in midfield, right if they’re to take something from the meeting this weekend.

Toulouse Predicted Lineup vs Lille

Lille Team News

Lille are sitting 7th on the Ligue 1 table with 47 points, just two shy of third-placed Monaco and five behind second-placed Marseille. With 6 rounds of fixtures remaining ahead of their trip to Lyon, they’ll feel they have a chance of getting the coveted Champions League place.

However, their inconsistent form has hampered their ascent. They’ve won twice and lost thrice in their last five outings. Each win has been followed by a defeat, an inconsistency that Bruno Génésio would want to stem out ahead of Saturday’s trip to Toulouse.

Bruno Génésio will have to balance his team selection to account for the three absentees. Injuries include Tago Santos (cruciate ligament), Edon Zhegrova (adductor), and Samuel Umtiti (calf).

Bruno Génésio’s men are well-positioned to fight for a Champions League place in the run-in. My free football predictions leverage their inherent motivation and quality to back a strong performance by the away side on Saturday. 

Lille Predicted Lineup vs Toulouse

Toulouse vs Lille Prediction 

• Pick: Lille To Win
• Odds: 2.84 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Toulouse 1-2 Lille

Lille are currently 7th on the table and firmly in the hunt for a CL spot. This will drive their performance, adding urgency to how they’ll approach Toulouse.

Although they’ve been inconsistent, Lille’s form has been positive overall. This is especially relevant given Toulouse’s bad form after three consecutive defeats and a four-match winless streak. In their previous two games, the hosts have conceded three times away to Marseille and four times at home to Brest. Their stats highlight their defensive vulnerabilities.

These dynamics bolster my prediction of an away win for Lille, boosting their chase for a place in next season’s Champions League.

Toulouse vs Lille Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Race To Race To 2 Goals – Lille
• Odds: 3.04 (22Bet)

My analysis backs a race to 2 goals by the guests. This call is anchored in the solid attacking lineup for Lille, including Jonathan David, who’s been in good goal-scoring form so far.

Toulouse’s defensive vulnerabilities further support this football pick. They’ve conceded multiple goals against teams, which shows the visiting attackers will exploit these weaknesses.

The absence of the Rasmus Nicolaisen and Zakaria Aboukhlal due to injury will further hamper Toulouse’s efforts to keep David and the Lille attack out.
