Toulouse are welcoming Brest for another important game after their 2-5 result against 14th-placed Brest.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Brest have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Toulouse form and stats

Toulouse's struggle is real here at Stadium de Toulouse with only 9 points collected from 10 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-0-7. All in all it has been a very rough period for Toulouse who hasn’t won a game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Lille, 84 days ago. It's been an uphill battle for Toulouse in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Lille game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

The Toulouse crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-5 to Brest here at Stadium de Toulouse in a Ligue 1 match. Prior to that, an away loss at St-Pryve St-Hilaire in the Coupe de France.

A goal frenzy last time out for Toulouse, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Brest. Fun stuff to watch!

This is expected to be a close game, with Toulouse perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Toulouse as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Toulouse has won 5 of these, drawn 4 and lost 5.

Toulouse has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Toulouse defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Brest form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brest so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-6 (win-draw-lose).

It's the second away game in a row for Brest, but there's smiles all around after the 5-2 victory versus Toulouse (placed 20th) in the Ligue 1 last time out. Prior to that match, the Brest manager O. Dall’Oglio faced defeat when travelling to Olympique Lyonnais and losing 1-3.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Brest, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Brest in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Brest, 3 draws and 0 defeats.

Brest are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 10 games (in the league). The Brest manager O. Dall’Oglio has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Toulouse - Brest 2-5 earlier this season. As for the last nine games between these two teams, there's 4 Toulouse victories, 3 draws and 2 Brest wins. 2 of these games ended with three goals or more, 7 matches with two goals or less.
