Game Prediction
On Friday, the national championships take over the “baton” from the European tournaments. And the French Ligue 1 is among these. Toulouse and Lyon will play against each other there – they are ambitious teams, which have got a difficult season. Who will be able to take victory and please the fans? The editorial board of the website has published an individual prediction for this match on March 15, 2024.
Toulouse has not improved its performance much in the current season
“Le Téfécé” returned to the Ligue 1 in 2022. To begin with, the newcomer finished in 13th position and, that is the most important, a full-fledged trophy in the form of the French Cup was taken. Still, the team parted with the coach, Montagnier, in the summer for the sake of inviting Carlos Martinez Novel. The Spanish specialist and his wards showed themselves worthy in the Europa League: they overcame the group stage and even fought in the 1st round of the play-offs, but there, thanks to Di Maria’s goals from the penalty spot, Benfica advanced. After that, all that remained was to focus on the championship, where, by the way, the team improved the performance in the spring, winning the battles against Monaco, Lille and Nice in a row. Still, Le Havre tripped up the team, winning with a 1-0 score at the home arena in the previous round.
Lyon has got rid of the threat of complete failure
“The Weavers” did not “shine” in the previous few seasons either. So, the team, despite Lacazette’s return from England, finished the cycle of 2022/2023 in 7th position. However, then there was an outright failure, when the giant, who “stamped” the championship at the beginning of the century, got stuck in the relegation zone, and the replacements of the mentors no longer helped. And it’s exciting that the club began to revive under the leadership of Pierre Sage, who had been a little-known specialist, a typical interim coach. There is no doubt that a large-scale transfer campaign to strengthen the squad also had a kind of impact. There were 4 victories in a row in February, which helped get out of the relegation zone. However, the team started the spring with a home 0-3 result with Lens. At the same time, the struggle in the cup continues; Strasbourg was beaten on February 27 in a penalty shoot-out. And then Lorient was defeated on the away field – 2-0.
Previous head-to-head matches
The last time “Le Téfécé” won was back in 2014. After that, the team “clung” to draws twice, including the previous season.
