Open game expected at Stadium Municipal: Toulouse vs Nantes preview

Competition: France Ligue 1
Date: Sun 07.April
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadium Municipal (33150 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligue 1, Toulouse holding 14th place and Nantes lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

The visiting Nantes played their last game only four days ago, a Coupe de France match. That game, against PSG, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Nantes. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting PSG. There's been little rest and some travel, but Nantes will do their best.

Toulouse form and stats

Toulouse have played 15 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-7-5 (wins-draws-losses).

Toulouse's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus PSG. Preceding that game was the away draw at Nice that finished 1-1.

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 seven games. Toulouse has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Toulouse are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 15 goals in 15 matches. 19 goals have been conceded.

Nantes form and stats

There's been little loot from Nantes's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 15 away games. Nantes only has 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws. Three has not been a lucky number for Nantes as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Vitre match. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Nantes are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Two away games in a row for Nantes, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-3 versus PSG in the Coupe de France. Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Lille.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 22 similar matches played by Nantes in our archives, and the results are: 7 wins for Nantes, 3 draws and 12 defeats.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 15 away games, an average of less than one per game. 20 goals have been conceded by Nantes in these games.
