Toulouse

Toulouse are aware of the opportunity that this game presents and they have a lot of confidence in their form at the moment. So this is a game Toulouse would want to win at all costs. Toulouse is currently unbeaten in their last 3 league games. 

Toulouse won their last game against Stade Rennes away from home. They went behind in the 20th minute but 20 minutes later Cristian Casseres Jr. replied with the equalizer. And 10 minutes later Moussa Diarra put Toulouse ahead. There were no other goals from that point until the end of the game and Toulouse won 2-1 at the end. According to stats, Toulouse had 45% possession, 3 shots on target and 4 corner kicks. They created 1 big chance but failed to convert. 

Toulouse are well aware of Olympique Marseille’s current predicament in the Ligue 1 and they will try to use that to their advantage. It would be a disappointment if Toulouse fail to capitalize in this game. 

Olympique Marseille

Olympique Marseille are running out of time in their pursuit for European football next season. Their results have been awful in the last couple of weeks and the confidence within the team is depreciating. Olympique Marseille lost the last 3 league games they played and they head into a tough game against Toulouse.

Marseille faced LOSC Lille in their last league game and they lost 3-1 in the end. Marseille were 2-goals down by the 71st minute and in the 81st minute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pulled one goal back but 3 minutes later, they conceded the third goal. Marseille failed to respond after that and the game ended in a defeat. According to stats, Marseille had 46% possession, 5 shots on target and 2 corner kicks. 

Olympique Marseille were able to advance to the Semifinal of the Europa League eliminating Benfica in the process. But there's still a huge doubt whether their league form will change after that.
