Auxerre vs Toulouse prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-09-20 15:15.
[p]Auxerre and Toulouse are looking to bounce back after both conceding agonising late goals to lose their respective matchday four encounters.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Auxerre have started their Ligue 1 campaign by replicating their four-game start from last season (W1, L3) but they’ll be desperate to see the similarities end here given they then went on to lose their fifth game. They couldn’t have come much closer to gaining a point against Monaco last weekend only to concede in the 89th minute, suggesting the White and Blues need to be more resilient. That’s particularly true in front of their own fans, as they’ve lost four of their last seven home league fixtures (W2, D1).[/p]
[p]Toulouse started their campaign brightly with two wins but followed that up by losing to early pacesetters PSG and Lille, with last weekend’s 2-1 defeat against the latter especially painful as they were 1-0 up going into the 90th minute! Being on their travels for the second weekend in a row might not concern the Violets too much as they’ve collected twice as many points in league away games as they have at home this calendar year (18-9) and have only lost one of their last four Ligue 1 games on the road (W2, D1).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Toulouse have a great recent record against Auxerre having only lost one of the last 11 H2Hs (W8, D2) and are undefeated at this stadium in their last three visits (W2, D1).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]After matchday four, Auxerre possessed the league’s worst first-half record (HT: D1, L3).[/p]
[p]Auxerre scored exactly once in each of their last six home Ligue 1 games.[/p]
[p]Toulouse have lost a joint-Ligue 1 high five matches after scoring first since the start of last season, a record they share with Auxerre.[/p]
[p]There has been an odd number of goals in six of Toulouse’s last seven league away outings.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Ibrahim Osman has assisted two of Auxerre’s three league goals this season, but he could be a candidate to close the scoring given each of his last three goals arrived after the 80th minute. Frank Magri has already netted three times for Toulouse this term, with all of those strikes arriving in the 20 minutes immediately following half-time.[/p]
[p]Auxerre’s Josué Casimir is suspended after being sent off against Monaco, while Oussama El-Azzouzi’s injury could keep him out again. Alexis Vossah is suspended for Toulouse following his red card against Lille, with Ilyas Azizi also likely to miss out due to injury.[/p]
