- Venue: Stadium Municipal (Toulouse)
Despite finishing 13th in their league last season, Toulouse had a historic run, securing their first major trophy by winning the Cup title. However, their route to victory was arguably easier as they only competed against lower-league teams and Nantes, one of the worst Ligue 1 teams that season. This season, they’re struggling, currently ranking 14th with 17 points, just one point shy of the danger zone. While they had another easy path in the Cup, they were ousted in the final game by third-tier team Rouen. Their most notable achievement this season is reaching the 1/16 Finals in the Europa League, though they face a daunting challenge in defeating Benfica.
Lens had an exceptional season last year, finishing only one point behind the ultimate champions, PSG. Their performance this season, however, has not been as impressive, earning just a single point in the first five games. Following this dismal start, their performance improved and they gradually climbed the league table. Currently, they are in 8th position with 26 points, just three points shy of the European spots. However, after suffering three consecutive losses (two in the league and one in the Cup) against top French teams such as PSG, Nice, and Monaco, it’s clear that Lens is not performing at the same level as they did last season.
Toulouse vs Lens pick Under 2.5 goals
Toulouse has managed to net only 16 goals in 18 Ligue 1 rounds, making them the second weakest offensive team, outdoing only Clermont. Excluding two games against lower-league teams in the Cup, Toulouse’s offensive struggles have persisted. They have scored a mere four goals in the past nine games, averaging 0.44 goals per game.
Lens are not performing well, having suffered three consecutive losses and managed to score only two goals. Moreover, their efficiency is significantly compromised when playing away, with a record of scoring just eight goals in 12 games across all competitions.
In the most recent head-to-head match at Stadium Municipal, Lens emerged victorious with a score of 1:0. Taking all factors into account, we propose that a bet for under 2.5 goals is the most secure choice for this match.
