Toulouse FC vs RC Lens - 02/05/2023
5072
On Tuesday night, Toulouse and Lens clash at the Stadium De Toulouse in a Ligue 1 game that could be vital for the visitor's chances of a top-three finish in Ligue 1.
Toulouse
The home team is currently in 13th place in the Ligue 1 table, nine points above the relegation zone in the French top flight. Toulouse recorded a 1-0 win at Lorient last time out in Ligue 1. The win was needed, as they have lost five of their previous eight games in the league.
The game ended a run of high-scoring games for Toulouse, as their previous three matches in Ligue 1 had all produced over 2.5 goals.
Toulouse has a woeful recent home record in the French top-flight, having lost their last four league games on home soil in Ligue 1. They have also conceded at least two goals in three of the previous four Ligue 1 matches at the Stadium de Toulouse.
Lens
The visitors sit in third place in the French top-flight table, which would see them play in the Champions League qualifying round next season. They are now five points ahead of fourth-place Monaco in the race for a top-three finish. They are also four points adrift of second-place Marseille.
Lens has been in good form of late in the French top flight, as they have won five of their previous six matches in Ligue 1.
The visitors have a highly inconsistent recent away record in the French top flight and have won just two of their previous nine league games on their travels. However, a 3-1 defeat at champions and league leaders PSG in their last away match ended a two-game winning run on their league travels for Lens.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Lens will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter to boost their chances of a top-three finish in Ligue 1 this season.
