Toulouse vs Nantes Prediction & Betting Tips (27 September)

Toulouse welcome Nantes to the Stadium de Toulouse on September 27 for a Ligue 1 clash that promises tension, tactical nuance, and a dash of unpredictability. Carles Martinez Novell’s side currently sit mid-table with six points from six matches, a record that reflects their erratic form—three wins and three losses, no draws. Their home performances have been equally inconsistent, with one win, one draw, and one defeat, but they’ve shown attacking intent, averaging two goals per game at home. With a squad valued at €83.65 million, Toulouse have depth, but injuries to key players like Kjetil Haug, Niklas Schmidt, and Abu Francis mean Novell must rely on his bench to deliver.

Nantes, meanwhile, are struggling to find rhythm under Luís Castro. Sitting 15th with just four points, the Canaries have scored only once in their last three league outings. Their last victory—a narrow 1-0 win over Auxerre —feels distant, and their attacking play has lacked bite. Mostafa Mohamed remains their most potent threat, but he’s been isolated in recent matches. Defensively, Nantes have held firm, rarely conceding more than a goal per game, but injuries to Fabien Centonze, Bahereba Guirassy, and Mathieu Acapandie have stretched their resources thin. Castro is expected to stick with his 4-3-3 formation , hoping his side can rediscover their spark.



Historically, this fixture has been tightly contested. In 36 meetings, Toulouse have won 10, Nantes 12, with 14 draws. Their most recent encounter in April ended goalless, despite Nantes dominating possession. This time, Toulouse’s attacking edge and home advantage could tilt the balance. With both teams missing key players, the match may hinge on individual brilliance and tactical adaptability. Toulouse’s recent scoring form—averaging 1.67 goals per game—suggests they’ll find the net, while Nantes’ defensive resilience could keep them in the contest.

Expect a cagey affair with moments of flair. Toulouse’s ability to exploit defensive lapses and Nantes’ counter-attacking potential set the stage for a narrow outcome. Our prediction leans toward a 2-1 victory for Toulouse—just enough to reflect their offensive momentum and Nantes’ ongoing struggles in front of goal. It won’t be a goal fest, but it will be a chess match, with Toulouse likely to checkmate their visitors late in the second half.

• Summary: Toulouse is going head to head with Nantes starting on 27 Sept 2025 at 17:00 UTC at Stadium de Toulouse stadium, Toulouse city, France. The match is a part of the Ligue 1 .
