4th position in the Ligue 2 table for Toulouse so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 13th-placed Le Havre visits Stade Robert Barran.

Insights:
  • Toulouse has the most points from losing position (10) in Ligue 2
  • Toulouse have scored more than double the goals of Le Havre.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Le Havre have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
