Match Preview

This week’s Toulouse vs Nantes preview takes a look at a fixture that pits one of Ligue 1’s relegation candidates against a club vying for European qualification this season. The clubs are separated by twelve places and fourteen points in the current standings, though the teams can draw plenty of parallels with each other in terms of recent form.

Le Téfécé have won three of their most recent five matches just prior to today’s Toulouse vs Nantes betting tips, though it’s worth noting that they were their only victories in an eleven game span. Pascal Dupraz has only been able to mastermind five Ligue 1 wins from nineteen matches since August and it’s no surprise to see TFC hovering just one place above the relegation places.

Nantes are performing well in 2017/18 under former Premier League winning boss Claudio Ranieri. The Canaries have won three matches in succession since mid-December and they have lost just once in their last six overall. In a similar vein to their opponents, FCN have been struggling in front of goal – only Montpellier have scored fewer goals than them in the table’s current top ten. A good chunk of their Ligue 1 goals have come from the boot of Argentinean forward Emiliano Sala who has seven goals to his name so far this term.

Toulouse vs Nantes Prediction and Betting Advice

The head-to-head record between the teams under the microscope in our Toulouse vs Nantes bets provides us with some very interesting statistics. The clubs have drawn four of their last six games against each other and though the Canaries have won the last two, they have had to settle for a point on three of their last four visits to the Stadium Municipal.

Toulouse have won less than half of their Ligue 1 matches on their own turf this season, coming out on top just four times in nine outings there. Similarly, Nantes have won just four of their ten matches outside Pays de la Loire since the summer, though they can point to just four defeats on the road as a largely positive figure.

Le Téfécé may have endured a sub-standard season in general in 2017/18, but three wins from their last four fixtures at home suggests that there is life left in Pascal Dupraz’s squad. I’m tipping them to take a point from their game against Ranieri’s Canaries next week. The latest Ligue 1 football odds available at Unibet were the most valuable prices we found for our outright result prediction.

As we hinted at earlier, both of our analysed teams today are among the lowest scorers in the entire Ligue 1 competition. The sides have scored just eighteen goals apiece since August and their lack of cutting edge in forward areas gave us plenty to ponder while selecting our Toulouse vs Nantes predictions.

Both clubs are ranked inside the bottom seven of the league for goals scored and while that shouldn’t come as too much of a shock for TFC, Les Canaris would have expected better given their overall high league placing. However, currently, their goal difference stands at zero as they have the third best defensive record in the league behind Montpellier and PSG.

There generally isn’t enough action to get supporters on the edges of their seats when these teams meet. In five of their last six clashes, there were under 2.5 goals racked up. Furthermore, in their last twelve encounters, there was a total of just twenty-one goals hammered home. That’s an average of only 1.75 goals per game, a stat that offers huge backing to the last of our French football tips today. You can’t go wrong with Betfair’s odds for this one. They emerged as the best bookie to use for this pick.
