📋 Team News: Toulouse

It’s our opinion that Toulouse look set to use a 3-4-3 system for this one, beginning the first half with Kjetil Haug, Djibril Sidibe, Mark McKenzie, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Aron Doennum, Alexis Vossah, Pape Demba Diop, Warren Kamanzi, Santiago Hidalgo, Jacen Russell-Rowe and Yann Gboho.

📰 Team News: FC Lorient

FC Lorient boss Olivier Pantaloni has to currently contend with reduced team options. Laurent Abergel (Injury to the ankle), Igor Silva (Adductor pain), Mohamed Bamba (Ill) and Pablo Pagis (concussion) are not able to play. Pablo Pagis cannot play in this game through suspension.

We are inclined to think that Les Merlus seem likely to begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 system, starting the game with Yvon Mvogo, Nathaniel Adjei, Montassar Talbi, Abdoulaye Faye, Theo Le Bris, Noah Cadiou, Arthur Avom, Arsene Kouassi, Jean-Victor Makengo, Dermane Karim and Bamba Dieng.

✨ Prediction

Our assessment is that FC Lorient will surely be able to breach the defence of this Toulouse outfit, but it possibly won’t quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We think that it’s going to be a 2-1 advantage for Toulouse after 90 minutes. Should be an interesting one.
