Toulouse and Nates will be keen to shake off poor runs in Ligue 1 when they face off on Sunday. The two sides are separated by a point, with hosts Toulouse 12th and Nantes 13th after 20 matches. Toulouse will have reason to be confident coming into this game. They haven't lost to Nantes in the last three meetings, winning two. Three wins in five matches against Nantes will rightly place them as favorites here. They’ve also done well in their recent matches, winning three of five and only losing once in regular time. Heading into this encounter, Toulouse will hope to build on their 3-2 win over Reims away from home. Goals from Christian Mawissa, Shavy Babicka and Thijs Dallinga handed Toulouse a good first half lead. They however almost lost it all in the second half after conceding in the 49th minute, then in stoppage time. In the end, they had scored three times for the third time in five matches, all away from home. Toulouse will hope to replicate this scoring form at home, having really struggled at their home turf. In the last 16 home matches, they’ve managed just one win.

Nantes missed relegation by a whisker last season, only finishing a point above the red zone. This time they are around that region with 20 matches played and it should be a top concern. Les Canaris are just three points above the relegation zone, having managed 19 from 20 matches. The visitors are coming into this game without a win in their last four matches. Their most recent game ended in a 1-0 defeat at home to Lens. That result marked three straight matches without scoring and they aren’t among the best scorers in the league either. In 20 league matches so far, Nantes have scored 20 goals and conceded 31. This partly explains their struggles, having failed to win in their last six league games. Nantes have managed just a win in 11 league matches. In six of the last 10 league games, they failed to score. Nantes have suffered 11 losses in 16 away Ligue 1 matches.
