📰 Team News: Toulouse
Niklas Schmidt (Cruciate ligament tear) and Rafik Messali (Injury to the ankle) won’t be able to feature for Toulouse manager Carles Martínez Novell.
In our view, Toulouse will probably employ a 3-4-3 formation this time, handing starts to Guillaume Restes, Mark McKenzie, Charlie Cresswell, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Aron Doennum, C. Casseres Jr., Abu Francis, Dayann Methalie, Noah Edjouma, Frank Magri and Yann Gboho.
📰 Team News: Nantes
Nantes boss Luís Castro has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Francis Coquelin (Hamstring injury) and Herba Guirassy (Dead leg) will not be playing here.
We are inclined to think that Les Canaris seem likely to elect for a 4-1-4-1 formation, giving starts to Anthony Lopes, Kelvin Amian, Chidozie Awaziem, Tylel Tati, Nicolas Cozza, Junior Mwanga, Yassine Benhattab, Johann Lepenant, Louis Leroux, Matthis Abline and Mostafa Mohamed.
🧠 Prediction
Our assessment is that Toulouse are likely to be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
At the same time, Nantes will be up against it to score but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet here.
We’re therefore expecting to see a 3-1 margin for Toulouse by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
