H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Toulouse Team Overview
🟣 Toulouse kicked off the season in style with two consecutive wins (without conceding a goal), propelling them into the upper echelons of the league. However, something went awry for Carles Martinez's men, and they started dropping matches one after another. As a result, after five rounds, the Violets have accumulated 6 points and sit in 9th place on the table.
🔴 While losses to PSG and Lille might be justifiable given the stature of the opposition, the 0-1 defeat to Havre in the latest round is harder to explain. In that match, Frank Magri had the chance to put Toulouse ahead as early as the 3rd minute, but he missed a penalty. The opponent then scored and managed to hold onto their lead despite being down to ten men from the 64th minute. Serious questions are being raised about the Violets' attacking line!

Nantes Team Overview
🟡 Nantes are having a dismal season, and it's not just about the points tally. Their lack of consistency across all areas of play is concerning. A brief glimmer of hope appeared in the third round when Luis Castro's side managed a home victory against Auxerre (1-0), but the joy was short-lived as they followed up with a defeat and a draw.
🟢 In their latest fixture, Nantes drew with Rennes (2-2). The match took place on the Canaries' home turf, and it seemed to be heading towards a win for the visitors until Youssef El-Arabi equalized in the 90+6 minute. While Nantes managed to avoid another loss, their position in the standings remains precarious at 16th, right in the “red zone.”

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the upcoming match is Benoît Bastien. Over his last 100 matches, he averages 3.89 yellow cards per game with 25 fouls. In the last five matches, the yellow card stats for the teams are as follows: Toulouse average 2.6 per game, while Nantes average 1.2. Considering the hosts' tendency for frequent rough fouls and their opponent's more disciplined play, we suggest betting on Toulouse to win the yellow card battle.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Nantes have scored just 3 goals this season, averaging 0.6 goals per game. Their attacking line lacks quality, to say the least. Given the Canaries' low scoring rate and the fact that this is an away match for them, we recommend considering a bet on Nantes' individual total under 1.5 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Both teams have been delivering fewer corners than the league average this season. In their last five matches, the stats are: Toulouse with 4.4 corners per game, and Nantes with 3.8. We believe that in the upcoming match, a bet on total corners under 9.5 will be successful.
Editor's Prediction
These opponents often play low-scoring games against each other: their last two encounters ended in a goalless draw. Recently, both teams have shown inconsistent performances, making it hard to pick a favorite here, so a draw (0-0) seems likely. Don't expect a goal fest from these sides. This season, Nantes have scored only three goals, while Toulouse have netted seven, which aligns with the expectations of a low total scoreline. We suggest betting on under 2.5 goals.
