Toulouse form and stats

Toulouse, who have the most conceded goals (51) in Ligue 1, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 0-4-9 (13 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Toulouse, who have now gone 15 games without a victory. The Lille game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Toulouse have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 519 minutes ago. B. Diakite was the goal scorer.

The manager D. Zanko was unhappy after their last game, a Ligue 1 match played at their home ground Stade Paul Lignon. Toulouse suffered a 0-2 loss to Nice (placed 9th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Olympique Marseille wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Toulouse as they have only managed to score 10 times from 13 away games in the league. The Toulouse manager D. Zanko has some worries about the defense as 29 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Toulouse - Lille 2-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Lille three wins, three draws and Toulouse four victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
