Lille preview: On a good run to start the season
After a 3-3 draw in the first round at Brest, Lille have won their next two matches. First, they beat Monaco 1-0 at home and then demolished Lorient on the road 7-1. With seven points from the first three rounds of the season, Lille are now third in the standings and they seem to be ready to compete at a high level this season despite losing their top scorer, Jonathan David, during the summer.
Ousmane Toure, Marc Aurele Caillard, and Thomas Meunier have been ruled out of this match with injuries, while Tiago Santos and Ethan Mbappe remain questionable.
Predicted lineup: Ozer (GK), Mandi, Ngoy, Ribeiro, Perraud, Andre, Bouaddi, Igamane, Haraldsson, Correia & Giroud
Last five matches
- Lorient 1-7 Lille (Ligue 1)
- Lille 1-0 Monaco (Ligue 1)
- Brest 3-3 Lille (Ligue 1)
- West Ham 1-1 (2-1 after pen.) Lille (Club Friendly)
- Lille 3-0 Venezia (Club Friendly)
Toulouse preview: Hoping to get back to winning
After finishing last season in the middle of the standings, the expectations for Toulouse coming into this season were pretty much the same, but the team started the new season well, with a couple of wins. Toulouse beat Brest and Nice in the first two rounds of Ligue 1, without conceding a goal, but their defence was far from that level in their last match against the reigning champions PSG, which Toulouse lost 6-3.
Meanwhile, Niklas Schmidt, Rafik Messali, and Ilyas Azizi are all on Toulouse's injury list ahead of this match.
Predicted lineup: Sava (GK), Bertola, Kristensen, Solet, Ehizibue, Piotrowski, Karlstrom, Atta, Zemura, Zaniolo & Davis
Last five matches
- Toulouse 3-6 PSG (Ligue 1)
- Toulouse 2-0 Brest (Ligue 1)
- Nice 0-1 Toulouse (Ligue 1)
- Toulouse 1-1 Sevilla (Club Friendly)
- Stuttgart 6-0 Toulouse (Club Friendly)
Player to watch: Olivier Giroud
While Giroud is nearing the end of his career since he's 38 years old at the moment, he still has enough left in his tank to help Lille this season. After all, he already has a couple of goals in the two games he played in Ligue 1 so far and his class and quality will be on display often this season, perhaps also against Toulouse.
