Toulouse form and stats

The first Ligue 1 game here at Stadium de Toulouse resulted in a draw. Last season Toulouse's home game statistics were 14 victories, 4 draws and 1 defeat from 19 games.

Happy days for Toulouse in their previous game, a fixture away at Troyes (placed 19th) that ended with a 3-0 victory. Nicolaisen was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.82 out of 10. The defender Nicolaisen won 10 of 13 duels.

Before that, Toulouse drew at home versus Nice.

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 12 games) they have won 9 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

At Stadium de Toulouse, Toulouse has the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Lorient form and stats

Let's have a look at how Lorient performed last season in the Ligue 1: They landed a 16th position in the league table after playing out 8 victories, 12 draws and 18 defeats. In total they scored 35 and conceded 63 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 6 and lost 11 with 15/41 goals scored/conceded. A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Ligue 1, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 2 wins, 6 draws and 11 defeats from 19 matches.

It's the second away game in a row for Lorient, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Rennes (placed 17th) last time out. Lorient goalie Mvogo was high and low in the Rennes game, contributing six saves towards the victory. Goalkeeper Mvogo got the top player rating of the team with 8.3/10. Mvogo topped it up with a clean sheet.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Troyes.

We have checked recent matches where Lorient have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 9 games were 2 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

It's early days yet, but Lorient has scored 1 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Stats for the prior ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Toulouse, two draws and four wins for Lorient. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
