Key stats
- Toulouse are on a six-match winless streak in the league (D4, L2).
- La Tefece are unbeaten in five of their seven home games this term (W2, D3).
- Strasbourg have lost back-to-back league fixtures by a one goal margin.
- Le Racing are yet to win away from home in 2025/26 after conceding first.
Correct score prediction: Toulouse 1-1 Strasbourg
Toulouse heroically held championship contenders Marseille to a 2-2 draw at Stade Velodrome, with Santiago Hidalgo planting a late header to topple the hosts off the top spot. That last minute leveler meant La Tefece avoided back-to-back defeats.
Strasbourg, however, cannot say the same, with a resurgent Brest inflicting their second consecutive loss by a single goal margin. Liam Rosenior’s men have been one of the most inconsistent sides in Ligue 1, although they are only one of the eight teams to have claimed 20 or more points after 14 rounds.
Both sides have struggled to find their form of late, and we expect them to play out a closely-fought draw in the south of France.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Not much to separate the two sides
- HOME: 6/4 (2.50) – 40%
- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
- AWAY: 8/5 (2.60) – 38.4%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Carles Martinez’s Toulouse will perhaps be motivated after rescuing a late point against Marseille. They are backed by the bookmakers to claim a victory, with odds of 6/4 (2.50) – a 40% probability of success.
Strasbourg are vying to overturn their shabby form and claim a first triumph in three outings. Priced at 8/5 (2.60) with a 38.4% win probability rate, they come into this fixture as marginal underdogs.

Player to watch: Charlie Cresswell
Cresswell has been instrumental for Toulouse since the start of the season. Apart from his defensive work rate, which has seen Toulouse avoid defeat in four of their last five games, the Englishman has netted important strikes against Rennes, Metz and Lyon – his three goals and one assist makes him one of the best performing defenders so far this term.
