Toulouse form and stats

6-4-7 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Toulouse so far this season. The home stadium (Stadium de Toulouse) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Toulouse it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Toulouse are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 202 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Aboukhlal).

Toulouse drew their last game, 0-0 away at Ajaccio (placed 18th). den Boomen (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.65/10. Boomen hit four key passes and had 54 successful passes (of 65 total).

Preceding that match was the home game against Lens that was lost 0-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Toulouse have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 3 and lost 0.

The Toulouse fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 26 goals in 17 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Toulouse defense is not exactly impregnable. 26 goals conceded from 17 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Nantes form and stats

There's been little loot from Nantes's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 17 away games in the Ligue 1. Nantes only have 2 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 6 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Nantes are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The attacking players of Nantes have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.

Nantes might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Strasbourg proved too strong as Nantes slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau.

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Brest's place.

Nantes are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.

The visitors have scored 16 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Nantes have conceded 27 goals in their away games.
