Lyon vs Toulouse Prediction & Match Preview

Lyon kept their dreadful spell of form going on Wednesday evening when they suffered another tough defeat, this time 0-3 away at Marseille.

It was the third subsequent league loss for Les Gones who have shipped eight goals in the process.

The horrendous form caused a managerial change just at the end of last month but the departure of Fabio Grosso did not change things at all as Lyon suffered two straight defeats under caretaker manager Pierre Sage as well.

Lyon did nothing to threaten Marseille on Wednesday, failing to register more than five shots in the 90 minutes of action at Stade Orange Velodrome.

We could argue that Sage is looking ahead of the first winnable fixture in charge of the team this Sunday when Lyon play host to Toulouse in Gameweek No 15.

Toulouse hold the 14th place in the Ligue 1 standings and they’ve managed just a single win in the previous ten outings across competitions courtesy of a 3-2 success against Liverpool in the UEFA Europa League.

The team led by Spanish manager Carles Martinez are winless in nine subsequent away matches in all competitions. They lost three and drew one of the previous four fixtures on the road.

Toulouse were denied a win last weekend by a super-late equalizer in the first minute of stoppage time in what ended as a 1-1 draw at home against Lorient.

Latest Meetings

Lyon will rely on tradition because they have never lost a home match against Toulouse, winning 16 and drawing 6 of the previous 22 clashes at Groupama Stadium and Gerland.

Lyon will also go into this on the back of five victories and a draw in the last six encounters with Toulouse.

Both teams were on target in five of the previous six head to head affairs.

The Verdict

Lyon sit at the very foot of the Ligue 1 standings and desperately need a win on Sunday. Toulouse have been dreadful travelers so far in the season and we see this as a perfect chance for Les Gones to make it happen and catch up with the rest of the field in the battle for avoiding relegation.

The home win is the main pick at the 2.00 odds while we will alternatively take the 1.66 odds offered for the Both Teams To Score bet, not trusting either side’s defensive line at the moment.
