Lyon vs Toulouse prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-10-04 13:00.
[p]With the chance to go top of Ligue 1, high-flying Lyon welcome out-of-form Toulouse on matchday seven.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Lyon have made an absolutely blistering start to the season, and sit level on points with league leaders Paris Saint-Germain ahead of this round of fixtures having dropped just three points so far (W5, L1). Midweek success against FC Salzburg in the UEFA Europa League (2-0) marked a fourth consecutive victory in all competitions for Paulo Fonseca’s side and extended their perfect home record this term, with Les Gones having won all four encounters at Groupama Stadium in that time without conceding. In Ligue 1 alone, it is also four home games on the spin which Lyon have won with an accompanying clean sheet, and they have a good opportunity here to extend that run to five matches for only the fourth time in their history. [/p]
[p]Toulouse also enjoyed a positive start to the campaign with victories in both their first two games, but have since been in rotten form and are one of just three teams in Ligue 1 who have failed to win any of their last four outings ahead of this weekend (D1, L3). Underlining how steep their drop-off has been, Carles MartĂnez Novell’s men had not conceded in those first two encounters, but only three sides had let in more than the 11 Le TĂ©fĂ©cĂ© had by the end of matchday six, even if six of those goals did come against PSG. Despite such a poor run, Toulouse still boast their highest points tally at this stage of a top-flight season since 2019/20, so perhaps all is not as bad as it first appears.[/p]
