Toulouse have the chance of breaking into the European places when they play host to struggling Auxerre in Ligue 1 at the Stadium de Toulouse on Sunday afternoon. Indeed, the hosts are currently in eighth place at the time of writing, just two points off of sixth.
Meanwhile, the visitors are second-from-bottom and are in danger of being relegated come the end of the season. Nonetheless, the onus is on Toulouse to get a positive result in front of their home support.
