Les Gones are going through a rough patch, losing their last four games, scoring just twice and conceding seven. They have lost just one game at home this term, with that loss coming against reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Toulouse, meanwhile, will look to capitalise on Lyon's struggles but have a poor away record, losing three straight games. Lyon have not lost to Toulouse since 2014 and at home, so the trend should continue. Ths hosts should eke out a narrow win.
