Lyon vs Toulouse Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

An almost perfect start to the season is to be credited to Olympique Lyonnais, Dauphin du PSG unlike goals. The Rhone club saw the points of the victory escape him only once, on the return from the September break in Rennes defeat 3-1. A disappointment followed by short success against Angers 1-0 and Lille 0-1 for Lyonnais with the best defense of the elite, with their 5 clean-sheet in 6 days. In parallel, they launched in the Europa League and received Salzburg Thursday with the ambition to confirm their inaugural success at Utrecht 0-1. Toulouse accuses the blow in the lower half of the ranking.

The violets occupy the 10th place of Ligue 1 despite victories gleaned at the opening of the exercise before Nice 0-1 and Brest 2-0. They have not won since. Worse, the TFC collected last weekend, on its lawn against Nantes 2-2, its only point on the last 4 games after having wiped backwards against PSG 3-6, Lille at the end of the suspense 2-1 and Auxerre 1-0. Carles Martinez and her men have to take up a major challenge this Sunday to spend the warmth of October warm. 

Lyon remains deprived of his goalkeeper number 1 Descamps, injured and whose absence is offset by the Greif recruit which has not yet conceded a goal. Abner is also likely to stay out of use like the long -standing absent Orel Mangala and Nuamah. The Morton prominent in the midfield, the young offensive asset Merah or Tolisso (captain) should continue in the eleven. The biggest market value of the club, Fofana (1 goal in L1), did not score on the last 4 championship games. The Toulouse group remains significantly the same as in the last match, without therefore the messali corridor player expected after the international break nor Schmidt (midfield), forfeit.

Magri (3 goals) and Gboho (2 goals) are expected at the turn this season to compensate for the loss of Aboukhlal on the summer transfer window. The first has just chained 2 goalless games and his teammate contributed to the draw that the TFC has just conceded against Nantes. Nicolaisen has been finding rhythm for several games and has stolen one of the three holders in Sidibé in the hinge.
