Toulouse vs Lens Prediction and Betting Tips | January 28th 2024
Toulouse will face Lens at the Stadium de Toulouse on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side have failed to impress in the French top-flight this season, although they remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They beat Metz 1-0 in their last league outing, with Vincent Sierro scoring the sole goal of the game before crashing out of the Coupe de France last Sunday after losing on penalties to third-tier Rouen.
Toulouse sit 14th in the league table with 17 points from 18 matches. They sit just one point above Olympique Lyonnais in the relegation playoff spot and will be looking to widen that gap on Sunday.
Lens have also endured a disappointing campaign and are falling behind in the race for continental football. They were beaten 2-0 by league leaders Paris Saint-Germain in their last match and had chances to get on the scoresheet but failed to convert including an early miss from the spot by Przemyslaw Frankowski.
The visitors sit eighth in the Ligue 1 standings with 26 points picked up so far and will be looking to add to that tally here.

Toulouse vs Lens Prediction
Toulouse's latest result ended a run of back-to-back victories and they will be looking to bounce back here. They have, however, won just one of their last seven home matches and could struggle this weekend.
Lens are on a three-game losing run after losing just one of their seven games prior. They have had their struggles on the road of late but should have just enough to win here.
Prediction: Toulouse 0-1 Lens
