French giants Lyon will be back to domestic action this weekend with an away trip to Toulouse. Hosting this game, Les Violets are a point ahead of Les Gones with both seeking second wins in the league. Let’s delve into the stats defining this match and a prediction.

Toulouse failed to build on their first win this season, losing 2-0 away to Brest on Sunday. Goals conceded either side of halftime condemned Toulouse to their second defeat of the campaign and they’ll hope to rise here.

This isn’t a fixture they’ve excelled in, which means the hosts must put in an extra effort. Carles Martinez will particularly be worried at his team’s performance at home.

The win against Le Havre is their only victory in eight Ligue 1 matches at home and one of four in the last 26.

Like Toulouse, Lyon are also seeking a stable run following a poor start. The visitors have managed just a win in the league this season. However, there should be some confidence generated from a strong start to their European campaign.

The visitors are coming off a 2-0 win at home to Olympiakos in the Europa League. With that, they recovered from another painful defeat in Ligue 1, at home to high-flying Marseille.

It was a five-goal thriller that sparked to life in the second half. Lyon will be disappointed that they lost the lead against 10-man Marseille, and conceded in stoppage time to fall 3-2.

At the height of their struggles, Pierre Sage will bank on away form to lift them. In 10 away league games, Lyon have seven wins.
