Toulouse preview: Entertaining but inconsistent
Toulouse’s 12 matches in Ligue 1 so far this season have consisted of 34 goals and they have remained entertaining to watch and often on the front foot, under the management of Spanish coach Carlos Martinez Novell.
Toulouse head into this one on the back of three successive draws, most recently sharing a 1-1 draw with Lorient at Stade du Moustoir a couple of weeks ago, courtesy of a Djibril Sidibe equaliser from the spot in the 65th minute.
Angers preview: Pushing up the table
Angers gained promotion to Ligue 1 in the 2023/24 campaign and they managed to steer themselves clear of the drop, and they are appearing set to be safe again as they aim to avoid the dreaded ‘second season syndrome’.
Under the management of Alexandre Dujeux, Angers head into this one on the back of an impressive 2-0 defeat of bottom-of-the-table Auxerre at Stade Raymond Kopa a fortnight ago, courtesy of a Clement Akpa own goal as well as a Prosper Peter strike.

Toulouse vs Angers prediction
Carlos Martinez Novell is a coach that implements an impressive and passing style of football that is expected to eventually see Toulouse progress towards the top seven and the European spots in Ligue 1. However, the hosts remain too inconsistent for that to be a realistic plan. They face an Angers side that have become a little more stubborn as the season has gone on but Toulouse would have to remain slight favourites for this one.
Toulouse vs Angers tip: Double chance – Toulouse to win or draw
