Toulouse vs Montpellier Prediction
Carlos Martinez Novell’s Toulouse most recently shared a goalless draw with Olympique Lyonnais at Parc OL last weekend. The home team have suffered just three defeats in their last 13 matches across all competitions with two of those losses coming against two of the top three, Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco. Montpellier Herault, coached by former Ivory Coast boss and boyhood Montpellier supporter Jean-Louis Gasset, are rock-bottom in Ligue 1 but did manage a shock defeat of Monaco to keep themselves alive and in touch in the relegation battle. However, despite that impressive result, Toulouse are expected to come out on top here, especially at home.
