Toulouse vs Strasbourg Prediction & Betting Tips (12 January)

End 2024 well and start 2025 in the green. These are the current predispositions of Toulouse, winner at the end of last year of Saint-Etienne 2-1 in Ligue 1 and scorer of Haut Lyonnais 0-0, 2-4 tab in the Coupe de France. The TFC continued its momentum last weekend by winning by a goal in Lens 0-1 on the occasion of the resumption of the Championship. With their contribution of 6 points in two matches, the Violets are positioned in 8th place in the standings when they host Strasbourg. Strasbourg has performed less well than Toulouse since the start of the season, as evidenced by its 10th place, 4 points behind its opponent of the day.

However, Racing is also experiencing a prosperous period. He remains on 3 victories: in the Championship on the lawn of Le Havre 0-3, in the Coupe de France in Calais 0-3 and last weekend against Auxerre 3-1 to mark the return of Ligue 1. This is the first time since December 2023 that Strasbourg has won 3 matches in a row. 

Toulouse approaches a new meeting without its key defender Nicolaisen, who has been out since October. Captain Sierra also missed the last meeting. The midfielder's unavailability duration is known. He will miss the next few weeks of competitions. Another midfield player must pass. This is the replacement Schmidt, suspended in Lens. He is again this Sunday and the following week for the 16th final of the Coupe de France.

Aboukhlal scored the winning goal from a penalty in Lens. The Moroccan has now reached 6 achievements in the current year, two more than Babicka and King.  The Strasbourg squad is without the seriously injured Wiley (back) and Sahi Dion (forward, no match). Recently withdrawn, replacement midfielder Ouattara is uncertain for this game like his friend Mwanga with the same status and striker Mara (3 goals), who was injured on the last day. Little-used winger Perea will be absent again to play in the U20 Copa America with Colombia while striker Lukovic, who only played two matches in the first part of the season, left the club to join Heerenveen, in the The Netherlands. Against Auxerre, Emegha (4 goals) found the net after five matches without having been successful.
