Toulouse are looking to make their 2026-27 Ligue 1 campaign more consistent after seeing a five-match unbeaten sequence in competitive outings come to an end at Marseille last weekend.
Jens Berthel Askou's side were unable to turn their six efforts on target into goals at the Stade Velodrome, leaving them without a goal in consecutive league outings for the first time this season following a goalless draw with Troyes.
The Violets have also found it difficult to turn home advantage into victories, having collected just three wins from their last 11 Ligue 1 matches at Stadium de Toulouse, alongside four draws and four defeats.
However, their defensive performances on home soil have offered some encouragement, with only five of the 13 goals they have conceded in the league this season coming in front of their own supporters, though they have found net just three times on their own turf this term.
Strasbourg, meanwhile, arrive in the south of France after producing one of their most convincing performances of the campaign, sweeping aside Auxerre 5-1 to end a four-game losing run across all competitions.
Hugo Oliveira's team have now scored multiple goals in three Ligue 1 matches this season, although their most productive attacking display away from home came in a 6-2 victory over Troyes on matchday three.
The result against Auxerre lifted Le Racing three points clear of the automatic relegation places and left them just two points below the top half, providing a timely boost after their difficult spell.
Nevertheless, defensive concerns remain a major issue for the visitors, who have gone 18 consecutive matches without recording a clean sheet.

Whispers predicts: Toulouse 2-1 Strasbourg
Both teams to score – Yes at 1.53 (8/15) is an appealing selection, as Toulouse should create opportunities on home soil but Strasbourg's attacking response against Auxerre suggests they have enough quality to contribute to the scoring.
Second half to have more goals at 2.05 (21/20) is also worth backing, particularly given Toulouse's tendency to produce their attacking threat after the interval, while Strasbourg have several players capable of making an impact late in matches.
Toulouse or Strasbourg to win and over 1.5 goals at 1.55 (11/20) offers an interesting alternative, as neither side has been particularly consistent and a draw-free outcome with at least two goals looks a reasonable possibility.
A 2-1 Toulouse victory at 9.00 (8/1) looks a plausible correct-score selection, with the hosts capable of making their home advantage count despite Strasbourg's recent attacking improvement.
