Toulouse vs Strasbourg prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-12-05 18:00.
[p]Two of Ligue 1’s European qualification hopefuls in need of a win meet on matchday 15 as Toulouse host Strasbourg.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Toulouse rescued a point with a late leveller at Marseille last weekend (2-2), but have now gone six Ligue 1 games without a victory (D4, L2). Basement boys Auxerre are the only side currently on a longer winless run in the division (nine), and as a result, Le TĂ©fĂ©cĂ© have lost ground in the race for Europe. Carles MartĂnez Novell’s men appear at risk of sliding into mid-table obscurity with the halfway mark of the campaign fast approaching, and their home record underlines why that is the case, having only won the two matches at Stadium de Toulouse this season in which they scored first (D3, L2). [/p]
[p]Strasbourg have generally fared well on two fronts so far this term as they juggle their UEFA Conference League and domestic responsibilities. Back-to-back Ligue 1 defeats have seen Liam Rosenior’s side slip out of the European spots though, and they therefore begin this weekend two points off the top six. If they are to qualify for continental competition for a second successive campaign via their league position, Le Racing know that they must improve on a poor run of form away from home which has seen them lose three consecutive French top-flight games on their travels.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Strasbourg are unbeaten in the last four H2Hs (W3, D1) and have not tasted defeat on any of their last eight trips to Toulouse (W5, D3)![/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Djibril Sidibé has recorded two goal involvements across Toulouse’s last three games (G1, A1), with nine of his 13 career goals in Ligue 1 having been scored in the second half. Emmanuel Emegha has netted three goals in three H2Hs, with Strasbourg winning all three of those matches.[/p]
[p]Neither side appear to have any fresh injury concerns, but Toulouse will be without Aron Dønnum as he begins a two-game ban for an inappropriate gesture made last month. ValentĂn Barco, meanwhile, will return from suspension for Strasbourg following his red card against Lens.[/p]
