Marseille vs Toulouse

, KO: 19:45 , Orange Velodrome
Toulouse

Marseille welcome Toulouse to the Orange Velodrome for a French Ligue 1 clash on Sunday. Both teams have experienced a torrid time of late but the host’s solid record in this fixture and home form should see them edge the visitors in what should be a high-scoring contest.

Marseille are coming off a 3-1 defeat to Reims in their last Ligue 1 fixture. That was the fourth defeat in the last five matches for the hosts, amid reports about clashes between the players and manager Roberto De Zerbi.

The good news for Marseille is that they are still in the UEFA Champions League places and are unbeaten in seven of their last nine home matches. They often look sharp going forward in front of their fans, with 5-1 victories over Le Havre and Saint-Etienne among their recent home results.

Toulouse were beaten 4-2 at home by Brest last time out in Ligue 1, their second straight loss, following a 2-1 defeat at Strasbourg in their previous fixture. Both results dealt a major blow to their hopes of securing European football as they now sit 12 points off the top six.

These struggles can be traced to a vulnerable backline that has conceded six goals in the last two matches. However, Carles Martinez's men will head into Sunday’s match with some confidence having gone unbeaten in four of their last five away matches.
