Toulouse - WWWLWL
Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the Toulouse gaffer Carles Martínez Novell to be concerned about from an otherwise complete squad. Rasmus Nicolaisen (Injury to the ankle) won’t play.
It looks as if Toulouse may well kick off with a 3-4-2-1 system for this game and select Alex Dominguez, Djibril Sidibe, Charlie Cresswell, Mark McKenzie, Aron Doennum, Gabriel Suazo, C. Casseres Jr., Vincent Sierro, Zakaria Aboukhlal, Yann Gboho and Joshua King.
Toulouse will be looking for an improved result here after a 2-0 Ligue 1 loss in their previous game against Monaco.
In that game, Toulouse had 42% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. On the other side, Monaco got 19 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Wilfried Singo (50') and Breel Embolo (82') scored for Monaco.
An interesting theme in recent Toulouse games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.
From their previous six clashes before this one, in as many as 6 of them a wager on BTTS would've lost.
Their prior results show that Toulouse:
have left without a victory over St Etienne in their previous 8 league games.
have not been beaten in their last 3 home league matches.
St Etienne - LWLWLL
It’s our belief that Les Verts will likely utilise a 3-2-4-1 formation, going with Gautier Larsonneur, Yunis Abdelhamid, Dylan Batubinsika, Leo Petrot, Dennis Appiah, Pierre Cornud, Zuriko Davitashvili, Pierre Ekwah, Louis Mouton, Benjamin Bouchouari and Lucas Stassin.
Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Marseille in Ligue 1 action, St Etienne will be aiming to make amends here.
In that match, St Etienne had 31% possession and 3 shots on goal with 2 on target. Marseille had 21 shots on goal with 10 of them on target. Adrien Rabiot (17') and Mason Greenwood (65') scored for Marseille.
A tendency of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games featuring St Etienne has been apparent in recent matches. Looking at their last six outings reveals that it has happened 5 times. During those clashes, their opponents have hit a goal total of 12 while St Etienne have scored 5. Having said that, time will tell whether such a trend might persist here in this game.
Looking at their past form shows that St Etienne:
have not lost to Toulouse when they've played them away from home in the last 3 matches in the league.
are without an away win for the past 9 league matches. Their travelling support will be needed here, for sure.
Toulouse possible starting lineup:
Restes; Sidibe, Cresswell, McKenzie; Donnum, Casseres Jr, Sierro, Suazo; Aboukhlal, Gboho; King
Saint-Etienne possible starting lineup:
Larsonneur; Appiah, Batubinsika, Abdelhamid, Petrot, Cornud; Bouchouari, Ekwah, Mouton, Davitashvili; Sissoko
Toulouse vs Saint-Etienne Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
With 13 wins from the last 36 meetings between the sides, Saint-Etienne boast a superior record in the history of this fixture.
Toulouse have picked up 10 wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on 13 occasions.
Saint-Etienne are unbeaten in their last eight games against Martínez’s men, claiming four wins and four draws since a 2-1 loss in August 2015.
Toulouse have lost just one of their last five home matches while picking up two wins and two draws since the start of September.
Prediction: Toulouse 2-0 Saint-Etienne
The hosts have enjoyed a significantly improved run of form in recent weeks, securing four wins in their last six matches, and with the visitors struggling both defensively and offensively, we believe Toulouse will extend their streak with a comfortable victory here.
