Toulouse vs LASK Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

Winner of the last Coupe de France, Toulouse FC has punched its ticket for the group stage of the Europa League. And despite some important departures during the last summer transfer window, Téfécé has a real chance to play in the race for the top 2 of its group. He got off to a good start by taking 1 point during a trip to Union Saint-Gilloise 1-1. For its 2nd day in this group E of the C3, the French club will welcome LASK Linz. A meeting which will be played at the Stadium, this Thursday at 9:00 p.

m. LASK Linz long believed they had achieved the feat when they entered the fray against Liverpool, when they were leading at the break. However, he was knocked down in the second half and therefore started with a 1-3 loss.

TFC will still have to do without Ibrahim Cissoko, the 20-year-old Dutch nugget who was recruited to replace Rafael Ratao, who returned to Brazil. Same thing for Spierings, back on loan from Lens, who could not be included on the Toulouse list for European matches. To make matters worse, Moroccan striker Aboukhal (3 goals in 5 Ligue 1 matches) was seriously injured against Union St Gilloise and is expected to be absent for several months. Naatan Skytta and Oliver Zanden, less used, are doubtful for the match (injured). Toulouse will, however, count on its new starting goalkeeper from the France Espoirs team, Guillaume Restes (only 18 years old), author of a superb clean sheet against OM and a good match against Union St Gilloise.

LASK Linz let their key player Keito Nakamura leave this summer for Reims for 12 million euros, without registering many arrivals. The team leaves almost the same and it is working well for the moment, in particular with the presence of the captain and experienced scorer Zulj who spent time in the Bundesliga or the very promising young Ljubicic (12 goals in 28 games last year). Lenny Pintor, who played for Saint-Etienne in particular, and Adil Taoui, former Bastia player, are injured and remain uncertain to face TFC.
