Toulouse vs Lyon Prediction and Betting Tips | September 29th 2024

Toulouse play host to Lyon in a Ligue 1 match at the Stadium de Toulouse this Sunday. With five games gone, Toulouse have claimed just a solitary victory and are currently in 13th place.

Lyon, meanwhile, are sitting one spot below them in a disappointing 14th place and will be desperate for a win here.

So with two sides needing points, who will come out on top this weekend?

Toulouse vs Lyon Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Toulouse's recent form against Lyon has been very poor, as they have failed to defeat them in any of their last six meetings. In fact, they have fallen to defeat in their last three matches against this weekend's opponents.
• The last match between these two at the Stadium de Toulouse was a thriller. The home side appeared to have the game won, as they were 2-1 up with 15 minutes remaining. However, a late comeback gave Lyon a remarkable 2-3 win.
• After claiming their first win on September 15, Toulouse disappointed last weekend, falling 2-0 to Brest in a comprehensive defeat.
• Lyon's last Ligue 1 game was probably the best of the season thus far. They appeared to have salvaged a 2-2 draw against high-flyers Marseille thanks to a 93rd-minute goal from Rayan Cherki. However, two minutes later, Jonathan Rowe popped up with a winner for Marseille, leaving Lyon empty-handed.
• Lyon's record of one win in their first five games is a bad one, but it's still a better start than the 2023-24 campaign, which saw them fail to win any of their first ten games.

Toulouse vs Lyon Prediction

On paper at least, Lyon are far superior to Toulouse. They can call upon star names like Cherki, Zaha and Mikautadze, and comfortably brushed Olympiacos aside in European action on Thursday.

However, they have also made a stuttering start to their campaign and could well be tired following that game against the Greek side just three days before this one.

Despite that, Toulouse have not been on good form in their own right. What's more, their recent form against Lyon is appalling, meaning they could come into this one with some trepidation.

Therefore, we expect an away win here.

Prediction: Toulouse 1-2 Lyon
