Toulouse are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Paris form and stats

The story so far in the Ligue 2 for Paris at their home stadium (Stade Sébastien-Charléty) is 9 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats.

Stress levels are on the rise for Paris's attacking players as they have now played 208 minutes without scoring in a league game. G. Laura was their last goal scorer.

Paris drew their last game, 0-0 away at Guingamp (placed 16th). Ahead of that match, Paris lost 0-1 at home to Clermont.

A painful moment in the game against Guingamp was the missed penalty kick from Florian Martin in the 90th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

The Paris fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 17 matches. Paris have conceded 17 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Toulouse form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (61) in Ligue 2, on their Ligue 2 travels is 6 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats.

Toulouse lost away at Rumilly Vallieres (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Chateauroux in the Ligue 2.

The schedule is very tough for Toulouse now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ligue 2 game at Le Havre is waiting in only three days.

Toulouse have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 22 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 18 goals have been conceded by Toulouse in these games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Toulouse - Paris 1-0. Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: one win for Paris, zero draws and one win for Toulouse. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
