Toulouse welcome Lille in a clash that pits mid-table comfort against the third-place team in Ligue 1.
The hosts once again find themselves in a mid-table position, having managed just two wins in their last eight league games.
Their recent form has been inconsistent, with five defeats in their last eight league matches, including a 3-1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain last time out.
That record casts doubt over their chances of building momentum, especially as they chase consecutive home wins.
Conversely, Lille arrive in excellent form in their last eight games and firmly in the hunt for a top-three finish.
A commanding 3-0 victory over Lens last weekend extended their unbeaten run to eight matches, with five wins coming in their last six outings.
Managed by Bruno Genesio, Lille currently occupy a top-three spot, though the race remains incredibly tight, with only a few points separating several contenders, including Rennes just behind them.
They will look to build on their recent away form as well, aiming for a fourth consecutive league win on the road.
