Toulouse form and stats
Toulouse's mission in Coupe de la Ligue last season failed in the 16th finals.Toulouse have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 0-3-6 (9 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Toulouse have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 17 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Nîmes game. Football is a nightmare at the moment for Toulouse who have suffered through a eight match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters.
The manager A. Kombouare was unhappy after their last game, a Ligue 1 match played at their home ground Stade Paul Lignon. Toulouse suffered a 0-1 loss to Reims. Preceding that game, the 2-4 loss visiting Strasbourg's place.
