Toulouse Preview: Mid-table Toulouse
As suggested, it is once again set to be another mid-table finish for Toulouse this season as they head into the final two games of the season with 38 points collected in 32 games, having picked up 43 points from their 34 games to finish 11th last year and 48 from 38 in the 2022/23 season.
The home team did end a seven-match winless run of form last weekend as they defeated Stade Rennais by two goals to one at the Stadium de Toulouse thanks to goals from Yann Gboho and Aron Donnum.
Lens Preview: Will Still still in mid-table
Will Still is once again advertising himself to other clubs with Southampton said to be interested in the English-Belgian coach as the northerners begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting tucked inside the top-half of the table but with no chance of European qualification.
The visitors did manage to pull off an impressive 2-1 defeat of Olympique Lyonnais at Parc OL last weekend to continue their inconsistent form with former Burnley winger Anass Zaroury scoring an 85th minute winner for Lens in that game last week.

Toulouse vs Lens Prediction
Under the management of Spanish coach Carlos Martinez Novell, Toulouse have tried to play a progressive and easy on the eye style of football but they appear to just lack the quality to push into the top-half of the table. Will Still is a methodical coach and that process-driven style can leave them to be quite low-scoring quite often but with little to play for in the final few weeks of the season, both teams scoring may well be a good bet for this one at Stadium de Toulouse.
