Toulouse vs Auxerre Prediction & Betting Tips (1 February)

Toulouse is one of the teams in form at the start of the year, as evidenced by its latest victories against Nice 5-1 and Brest 0-2. Author of 4 victories in the last 5 Championship matches, for a defeat at the beginning of January against Lens 0-1, the TFC took the opportunity to return to the upper half of the ranking and ranked 8th before the matches of the 20th day, 2 points from first European place. He also got the job done at Angers 1-1, 5-6 TAB in the Coupe de France campaign and will host Amiens L2 on Wednesday in the round of 16. His first results of the year sum up Auxerre's season.

Penultimate, 8 points behind the first non-relegation club, the Icaunais club, the last attack in Ligue 1, has just conceded defeats against Brest 2-0, Lens 1-0 and PSG 0-1, each time without scoring. Eliminated from the Coupe de France by Monaco 1-2 in December, on the occasion of its entry into the running, the AJA remains on 5 defeats in all competitions. They have the worst record in the Championship on the road and remain the only team in France not to have won away from their stadium. 

The locals find their efficient striker Emersonn (3 goals in L1) whose suspension has been served. Magri (5 goals in L1) and the starting piston Methalie are uncertain and the midfielder Francis (starter) continues to treat a serious injury. Gboho (6 goals in L1) and Hidalgo (4 goals in L1) are no strangers to the team's renewed form in the offensive sector. A notch lower, rookie Pape Demba Diop (on loan from Strasbourg) has already found a starting place and Schmidt, on whom the coach no longer counted, will end the season in Darmstadt. Auxerre deplores the new package of its central Sierralata (framework) in a defensive sector also impacted by the absence of the usual holder Senaya (lateral or axial), suspended.

AJA strengthened this winter by attracting Ahamada (ex Crystal Palace) in midfield and striker Faivre known to have played for Brest, Lyon and Lorient. The first comes from two first starts when Faivre was content to come on against Lens and PSG. Winger Osman, who had not yet scored, fueled the sense of departure.
