Toulouse vs Lyon Match Analysis & Prediction
15/03/2024 11:00 pm
Two teams currently separated by just two points in the Ligue 1 table will meet on Friday night as Toulouse play host to Lyon at Stadium de Toulouse.
Just when it looked like they were gaining momentum, it all stopped for Toulouse last Sunday, as they failed to register a single effort on target for the first time domestically this season, putting an end to a three-game winning run in Ligue and ending their four-game unbeaten run across all competitions.
Before their domestic defeat last weekend, Carles Martinez Novell had seen his side come back to win their previous two Ligue 1 matches when conceding the opening goal.
Toulouse will enter this contest on a three-game unbeaten run at home across all competitions, with their last defeat at Stadium de Toulouse coming in league action in February against Nantes.
Les Violets’ two successive victories at home is one more than this side had managed in their previous 17 matches at Stadium de Toulouse.
Meanwhile, since a 3-1 defeat at Le Havre in a domestic encounter back in January, Pierre Sage has seen his side reel off four successive away victories across all competitions, scoring multiple goals in each of those wins.
With five victories in their last six Ligue 1 matches, Olympique Lyonnais have collected one more win than they had in their first 19 matches over this domestic campaign.
Like Toulouse, Lyon have come back to win two of their previous three domestic matches when conceding the opening goal while winning nine successive matches across all competitions when drawing first blood.
Toulouse vs. Lyon Head to head
In the 45 previous meetings between these two teams, Toulouse have claimed six victories while Lyon have won 27, and they have drawn in 12. Lyon have scored 85 goals and conceded 38 in the process.
