Toulon form and stats

There's been little loot from Toulon's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 11 away games in the National. Toulon only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 4 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

R. Philippe and J. Bayo scored in Toulon's previous match, the home game against Villefranche that ended 3-0. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Pau wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
