Strasbourg Preview
Strasbourg suffered two defeats in a row, one against PSG by a 2-1 score, and the other one against Troyes 2-3. Those lost matches sent them to the penultimate position in the standings. Still, the team didn’t want to think that it was all over, and they held Lens 2-2 in a match in which Strasbourg looked much better, much more focused.
That improvement was noticeable on the last matchday, when the team pulled off a spectacular win against Lyon while playing away from home. Those games are the ones you have to win to achieve your objectives, and that victory catapulted them to sixteenth place in the standings, out of the relegation places.
The team returns home motivated, having lost only once in its last four matches at the Stade de la Meinau, but three of them were draws. In high spirits and in front of its home crowd, taking the three points would be spectacular for Strasbourg, and it would put it even further away from the bottom of the standings.
Possible Lineup (5-3-2): Matz Sels; Ismael Doukoure, Lucas Perrin, Gerzino Nyamsi, Alexander Djiku, Dimitri Lienard; Jean-Eudes Aholou, Sanjin Prcic, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde; Habib Diallo, Kevin Gameiro
Toulouse Preview
Toulouse is also going through a good momentum after a dreadful streak of 4 defeats in a row. The team defeated Ajaccio 2-0 and Auxerre 0-5, before drawing 1-1 at home against Brest. That last result has catapulted the team, and it is still very motivated.
Toulouse is in 12th place in the standings and if the team attains a win, it could climb several positions to get closer to the European places. This is still complicated because the distance is so great, but an important part of soccer is not only playing well, but also getting things right, and Toulouse is now getting absolutely everything right.
In addition to the Coupe de France, Toulouse has now gone 5 matches without being defeated, and it has allowed only 4 goals while it has scored 17 goals. This team had its way against Les Violets in the Cup, defeating them 7 times.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Maxime Dupé; Issiaga Sylla, Anthony Rouault, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Moussa Diarra; Brecht Dejaegere, Stjin Spierings, Branco van den Boomen; Zakaria Aboukhlal, Ado Onaiwu, Rafael Ratao
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams come into this match like children in a candy store: happy and motivated. They already faced each other on matchday 12 and drew with two goals. We believe that this time it will be no different, and that the game will end in a draw.
Strasbourg has not won at home, it has drawn n 6 matches, and it has lost 4 (unbelievable, but true). Meanwhile, Toulouse has been able to win 2 out of 9 away games played. The match will be entertaining, but the teams will end up sharing important points for both.
Prediction: Strasbourg 1-1 Toulouse
