Toulouse vs LOSC Lille Prediction: LOSC Lille should cope just fine.

It has been a tough week for the Toulouse team following their knockout from Europa League. They needed a goal to come on equal terms with SL Benfica on aggregate after losing 2-1 in the first leg, but they failed to score the crucial goal and played a goalless draw instead. Toluouse will now turn their focus to the Ligue 1, which is in dire need of attention. 

LOSC Lille got the much-needed win in their last game against Le Havre. They were clinical in every area of the game and at the end they got the reward. However, Lille need to maintain the consistency if they are to achieve their objectives of playing in Europe next season. 

Toulouse and LOSC Lille will go to battle for what is a very crucial 3 points to both teams.

Toulouse

Toulouse will not have the luxury of moaning over the Europa League heartbreak because their Ligue 1 form is in need of serious attention. They have lacked consistency in the course of the campaign and records show they have won only 3 games in their last 15 Ligue 1 matches. It's a miracle that they are not fighting for their lives in the relegation zone at this time. 

Toulouse managed to win their last Ligue 1 game against AS Monaco. It was a tough game for Toulouse and they had to put in a fight to snatch all 3 points. Vincent Sierro and Logan Costa were responsible for both goals. Altogether Toulouse registered 7 shots on target and played 6 corner kicks in the game. 

Toulouse will be up for some tough day when Lille comes to visit the Stadium de Toulouse. Lille won in their last visit to the Stadium de Toulouse, beating Toulouse 2-0 in full time.

LOSC Lille
