Toulouse vs Lille prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-04-11 17:00.
[p]Toulouse begin this round eight points above 16th-placed Reims and are even further away from those occupying Ligue 1’s European spots, so they look destined for a mid-table finish. Le Téfécé aren’t officially safe from relegation just yet, and as the only team in the division yet to win a home game in 2025 (D2, L4), they’ll hope to end that soon to rubber stamp their top-flight status.[/p]
[p]The recent slump experienced by Carles MartĂnez Novell’s side is underlined by their current run of four games without a win (D1, L3). Having lost the last three of those – as many defeats as they suffered in their previous 11 Ligue 1 outings (W4, D4) – the positive omen ahead of this clash with Lille is that Toulouse haven’t lost four Ligue 1 games in a row since December 2022, before Novell took charge.[/p]
[p]Coincidentally, Lille have lost their last three away games in this competition, and are attempting to avoid losing four in a row for the first time since April 2018. Kept outside of the European spots on goal difference ahead of this round, Bruno Génésio’s side have been hampered by their away form throughout the campaign, winning just four of their 14 league games on the road (D5, L5).[/p]
[p]The chances of Les Dogues’ attack being kept out on Saturday would appear minimal on the basis of having scored in 21 of the last 22 Ligue 1 H2Hs. But if they are to bring an end to this poor run on their travels, falling behind here would likely be a huge blow after they failed to win all of the six Ligue 1 away games in which they’ve trailed so far this season (D1, L5).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: After setting up the equaliser to cancel out his own goal against Marseille, Toulouse’s Gabriel Suazo has recorded six assists, a joint-league high for any defender prior to this round. Alexsandro recently returned from suspension after collecting his eighth yellow card of the Ligue 1 season, with four of his last five cautions coming in the second half.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Bruno Génésio has won eight of his ten managerial games against Toulouse (D1, L1).[/p]
