Toulouse vs Nantes Prediction and Betting Tips | August 18th 2024

Toulouse and Nantes get their 2024-25 Ligue 1 campaign underway when they go head-to-head on Sunday. Antoine Kombouare’s men are unbeaten in eight of their last nine visits to the Stadium de Toulouse and will be looking to extend this dominant run.

Toulouse suffered a 2-0 defeat against Real Valladolid in their final pre-season game at the Stadium de Toulouse last Saturday. Despite that result, head coach Carles Martinez will be impressed with his side’s showing in the off-season as they picked up three wins and two draws from their six warm-up matches.

Toulouse will head into the campaign aiming to build on their performance from last season, where they picked up 43 points from 34 matches to finish 11th in the table.

Nantes, on the other hand, secured a 14th-placed finish in the Ligue 1 standings last season, just four points above the relegation playoff spot.

However, Kombouare’s men head into the new campaign off the back of an impressive run of results in pre-season, where they picked up three wins and two draws in their six friendly matches.

Nantes journey to the Stadium de Toulouse on a run of two wins and two draws in their last five Ligue 1 away matches and will look to begin the season as they mean to go on.
