Lannion v Toulouse: Our top betting tips

Fifth tier Lannion are huge underdogs heading into this Coupe De France match against Ligue 1 side Toulouse. A win for the hosts would go down as one of the biggest shocks in the competitions history; they can't, can they? Find out with our Lannion v Toulouse match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.

Toulouse to lead at the break and win

The obvious place to start these betting tips is by backing Toulouse to win, however, that would be an absolute snoozefest of a prediction owing to the odds on offer. In order to keep a little bit of excitement we've delved into a slightly different market – the half time/full time market. We are backing Toulouse to win inside 90 minutes but with Lannion to hold them to a draw at the HT interval. Lannion are well down the pyramid compared to Toulouse but have been in good form of late having won each of their last four games with a draw then making it five unbeaten. Toulouse meanwhile had been on a torrid run of eight games (including six losses) without a win but that ended last time out as the beat Ajaccio 2-0. With Lannion in a good place, at home and likely to be dogged until the fitness takes over, Toulouse might have to bide their time and that's what we're betting on!

Both teams will score

We've already referenced the good form Lannion have been in of late and whilst we ultimately expect them to lose this game, we do think they'll give their fans something to cheer about by scoring at some point in the 90 minutes. It is for this reason that we are backing both teams to score. In Lannion's recent four game winning streak they've netted 13 goals. Toulouse meanwhile will surely bag a goal or two against a fifth tier side! After all, they have scored in each of their last six games despite struggling for results!

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the bookies odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game? Let's find out.

Lannion odds: 12/1 (13.00) – 8%

Draw odds: 16/3 (6.33) – 16%

Toulouse odds: 2/13 (1.15) – 87%

The standout thing from the above odds is just how unfancied the hosts are. 12/1 (13.00) is a hefty old price for a one off game of football. In fact, whilst we're backing Toulouse to win, those odds could tempt a few – especially from the home crowd – given the contrasted form of both sides. The other big thing to note is the both teams to score market. We've backed ‘yes' above but that goes against the bookmakers view; the odds for the BTTS bets lean to the ‘no' whilst the total goals market suggest we can expect to see plenty of goals.

Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Lannion v Toulouse

Lannion

When you are a fifth tier side, the opportunity to play against a Ligue 1 side doesn't come around very often. There is absolutely no doubt that the hosts will go with their strongest XI in this game.

Predicted lineup – Davai (GK), Achahbar, Julien, Vidot, David, Boisvilleirs, Nugent, Devaux, Le Danvezet, Morin, Guiziou

Toulouse

The simple fact here is that Toulouse haven't been winning enough games of football of late and their confidence cannot take a loss in a game like this. Expect an unchanged lineup from their previous game as they look to build some much needed momentum.

Predicted lineup – Dupe (GK), Sylla, Rouault, Nicolaisen, Diarra, Dejaegere, Spierings, Chaibi, Ratao, Onaiwu, van den Boomen

Starting Lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced one hour prior to kick off.

Player to watch

Rafael Ratao could be a key player in this game against what is likely to be a stubborn backline. The Brazilian is perhaps the microcosm of his teams recent form too. He has been struggling for goals in recent weeks as he leads the Toulouse line but a goal and assist last time out broke that horrible run. He and his teammates will arrive here with a new sense of confidence.
