Toulouse form and stats

Toulouse are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Ligue 1, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Toulouse delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Clermont (placed 16th) in their previous game. Drawing 2-2 against Clermont after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Novell needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Desler got a match rating of 7.81 in that game, top player of the team. Desler had 27 successful passes (of 33 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Strasbourg wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Europa League trip to Union Saint-Gilloise.

Toulouse have the goal stats of 2-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
