On their return to European football after a 14-year absence, Toulouse face Union Saint-Gilloise in Group E of the Europa League competition. This match will be played at Lotto Park on Thursday. The other two teams in the group are Liverpool and LASK, which makes this match a crucial one for both teams. The Belgians are in their second straight Europa League campaign, having reached the last eight on debut last year. They started in the qualifying play-offs of this competition, where they defeated Lugano to secure their spot in the group stage. They come on the back of a 2-0 loss to Genk last weekend which halted a three-game unbeaten run – where they won two and draw one. Playing in Europe, they have won four of their last seven home matches drawing one and losing only two.

Toulouse are in Europe for the first time in 14 years, which they achieved by beating Nantes in the Coupe de France final last season. Away form is a challenge because they have won just three of their 11 away matches in European football. To go with that, the visitors arrive here on the back of a four-match winless run. This sequence saw them draw three and lose one in the league. This poor run of results has hampered their start, which looked brighter when they won on matchday one. That result came away from home, after which Toulouse have lost and drawn one each, failing to score on both occasions.
