Struggling Toulouse will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Rennes in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Toulouse and Rennes should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Rennes have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Toulouse form and stats
Toulouse's results here at Stade Pierre Cahuzac in the Ligue 1 have been very modest with 3 victories, 0 draws and 9 defeats. All in all it has been a very rough period for Toulouse who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 16 attempts. Their previous win was against Lille, 133 days ago. Toulouse are slowly digging their own grave here at Stade Pierre Cahuzac with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Lille match.
B. Diakite was the last player to score a league goal for Toulouse and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Toulouse haven't scored in 609 minutes.
Toulouse faced defeat in their previous match, away at Lille (0-3). Preceding that match was the home game against Nice that was lost 0-2.
Mauro Goicoechea had a busy but productive day in the Lille match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Toulouse here at Stade Pierre Cahuzac in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 12 games). Toulouse have conceded 22 from these games.
Rennes form and stats
The visitors are W5-D3-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 1. Rennes seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Rennes are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Ligue 1 against Nîmes (placed 18th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Reims wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The attacking power of Rennes when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Rennes as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
