Toulouse form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Ligue 2, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 7 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats from 19 matches.

Toulouse play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-0 victory visiting Nancy (placed 20th). Branco Van den Boomen got a match rating of 9.34 in that game, top player of the team. Boomen signed up for three assists, hit five key passes and had 37 successful passes (of 46 total). As mentioned above, Toulouse was the only team on the pitch versus Nancy in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

A draw for Toulouse before that, at their own venue hosting Ajaccio (2-2).

It's early days yet, but Toulouse has scored 4 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
