Toulouse form and stats

Toulouse's struggle is real here at Stade Robert Barran with only 9 points collected from 13 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-0-10. All in all it has been a very rough period for Toulouse who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 18 attempts. Their previous win was against Lille, 196 days ago. With eight home Ligue 1 games in a row without a win, the Toulouse fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Lille game long ago, can be stopped today.

The fans are hoping that Toulouse will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Ligue 1 game against Dijon (placed 16th). Ahead of that match, Toulouse lost 0-2 at home to Rennes.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Toulouse here at Stade Robert Barran in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 13 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 24 goals have been conceded.

Nîmes form and stats

There's been little loot from Nîmes's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 14 away games in the Ligue 1. Nîmes only have 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 4 draws. Three has not been a lucky number for Nîmes as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Angers SCO match. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Nîmes have lost on their last two travels.

Nîmes are travelling again after losing away to Metz in their previous match (1-2). A loss against Olympique Marseille was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 14 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Nîmes have conceded 29 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Nîmes - Toulouse 1-0 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last six meetings: two - two - two (Toulouse wins - draws - Nîmes wins). As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
