Toulouse vs Lille Prediction and Betting Tips | 18th March 2023

Toulouse host Lille at the Stadium TFC in Ligue 1 on Saturday, looking to build on their latest victory.

Les Violets ended their three-game losing run with a 2-0 win away to Angers, courtesy of goals from Mikkel Desler and Thijs Dallinga.

It got Philippe Montanier's side up to 11th position in the league standings with 35 points from 27 matches, still five places adrift of their next rivals.

Lille, who've accrued 11 points more than Toulouse, are unbeaten in three Ligue 1 games, but have drawn their most recent two.

The Mastiffs held Lens to a 1-1 draw before blowing a two-goal lead twice against Lyon in a pulsating 3-3 stalemate that saw Jonathan David score a hat-trick for Lille.

Yet, their form has visibly improved since November - having lost five of their opening 13 matches. Paulo Fonseca's side have lost just twice in the next 14.

Toulouse vs Lille Prediction

Lille have been struggling lately but boast a potent attacking unit, led by the peerless Jonathan David, who is fresh off a scintillating hat-trick.

With 46 goals conceded, Toulouse have one of the worst defenses in the league, and this could tilt the balance in the visitors' favor.
