This is the Ligue 2 season opener for these teams, who are finally competing for points again. Will Toulouse or Dunkerque get that important first win?
It's quite the trip for Dunkerque when visiting Toulouse as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
Toulouse form and stats
With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Toulouse friendly games in pre-season: Toulouse played two friendlies, won 0, drew 2 and lost 0. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Toulouse scored 2 goals and conceded 2 in these two games.
Disaster struck Toulouse last season as they could not defend their status as a Ligue 1 team. With 21 defeats from 28 games, and only 3 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Toulouse are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W3 D0 L10.
Dunkerque form and stats
Just as the home team, Dunkerque have been through a few friendly games in the intense training period that just finished. The results from these training matches are 2 Dunkerque wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
A job perfectly done for Dunkerque last season as they secured promotion from National. With a grand total of 14 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 8 were in away matches.
