Head-to-head statistics Toulouse - Auxerre
Toulouse Team Overview
🟣 In the French Championship, Toulouse have won four out of their last five matches. Their only loss came against the then-league leaders Lens (0-3). In January, Carlos Martinez's squad advanced to the Round of 16 in the Coupe de France, providing the players with an additional boost and elevating the team's status.
🔴 In their last two league fixtures, Toulouse secured impressive victories over Nice (5-1) at home and Brest (2-0) away. In each of these encounters, "Les Violets" played from a position of strength and showcased an attacking style of football, which is quite rare among mid-table teams. This surge in performance has lifted Carlos Martinez's men to 8th place in the standings, putting them within striking distance of the European competition spots.

Auxerre Team Overview
🔵 Auxerre are among the leading candidates for relegation to the lower division. It's hard to envision what could change their fortunes. Their transfer strategy is weak due to a lack of financial investment, leaving the club's management likely preparing for the drop.
⚪ Auxerre are currently on a five-match losing streak, including four in the league. In their latest Ligue 1 outing, Christophe Pélissier's side fell to PSG at home (0-1). Considering the level of competition, this result is somewhat acceptable, as with only 33% possession, they could have conceded 3-4 goals. Auxerre currently sit second-to-last in the table, trailing the safety zone by 8 points.

Latest news
Toulouse
❌ Toulouse face several absences ahead of this match, with injuries sidelining players such as Daouda Metalli, Franck Magri, Ilyas Azizi, and Abou Francis. The first three are dealing with knee issues, while the latter has a broken leg. Since these players have been in the recovery room for some time now, the "Violets" coaching staff hadn't been relying heavily on them.
Auxerre
❌ Auxerre will be missing one of their key defenders, Marvin Senaya, due to suspension in the upcoming match as he's accumulated too many yellow cards. Injuries of varying severity are likely to sideline Nathan Bouayia-Kiala (knee injury) and Rudy Matondo (muscle injury) - their participation is doubtful. Francisco Sierralta also took a knock to his leg and is unlikely to feature.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The upcoming match will be officiated by Romain Lissorgue. On average, over a span of 100 matches, he issues 3.79 yellow cards per game, with 28 fouls. In Ligue 1, across 19 matches, the yellow card stats for the teams are as follows: Toulouse average 2.3 per game, and Auxerre also average 2.3. Opponents frequently receive cautions this season, so we suggest betting on total yellow cards over 3.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Toulouse's individual total in Ligue 1 averages 1.6 goals per match, while Auxerre's is 0.7. Auxerre's scoring has been particularly poor this season, making a bet on the visitors' individual total under 1 quite reasonable.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In 19 French league matches, Toulouse average 4.4 corners per game, while Auxerre average 4.9 over the same period. Both teams rarely earn corner kicks, showing stats slightly below the league average, so we recommend betting on total corners under 9.5.
Editor's Prediction
Toulouse's recent performances are on the rise, as is their position in the league table. Their motivation to swiftly enter the European competition zone is sky-high, so the "Violets" will play with doubled energy at home against the underdogs. Auxerre are unlikely to withstand such pressure. We predict a home win, with an expected scoreline of 2-0.
