Toulouse vs Lorient Prediction: There will be little to separate these two.

This fixture features two bottom teams in the division and there’s a chance for one of these sides to climb up the table. Toulouse is 15th on the log with 12 points while Lorient is 16th with 11 points.

 Toulouse are back playing at home after their defeat to OGC Nice away from home last weekend. Toulouse was able to keep things tight for the Nice team, who only got the only goal in the second half. In this fixture, they hope they can get a long-awaited win that has eluded them for the past 6 league games.

 Lorient are in a similar situation as Toulouse, as they have failed to win any of their last 4 games in a row. However, it looks tougher for this team who have a very poor record away from home this season.

Toulouse

Toulouse are struggling at the moment and a win in the league would mean the whole world to them. Their last win came against Metz FC 2 months ago and since then, they have recorded 3 defeats and 3 draws.

 Toulouse were on the road last weekend to face OGC Nice at the Allianz Riviera. They were able to match the attacking talent in the OGC Nice team throughout the first half as the game ended scoreless in the opening 45 minutes. But they conceded a goal in the 45th minute and the game ended in a defeat. At the end of the game, Toulouse had 47% possession, 3 shots on target, and 2 corner kicks.

 Toulouse will hope to put an end to a poor run when Lorient comes to visit the Stadium de Toulouse. Their last meeting at this venue ended in a 2-2 draw last season. However, in their most recent meeting, Toulouse was able to hold on to a 1-0 win.

Lorient

Lorient are also considered to be among the strugglers so far this season and they might be in for a tough battle to stay in the top tier of French football by the end of the season. At the moment, Lorient have no win in their last 4 league games. Since their 2-1 win over Stade Rennes, they have lost 3 games and drawn 1.

 Last weekend, they welcomed Metz FC to the Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir and it was an exciting clash with lots of goals, but Lorient lost 3-2 at the end. Lorient got a double in the 7th and 22nd minutes from Romain Faivre and Eli Junior Kroupi. But in the second half, they were blown out of the water as Metz scored 2 more goals to go on to win the game 3-2 at full-time. Lorient had 68% possession while taking 5 shots on target and 5 corner kicks in that game.

 Lorient’s visit to the Stadium de Toulouse ended in a 2-2 draw last season, but they hope for a better result in this game. The last time they beat Toulouse in a competitive match was in 2018.
