Toulouse will host Stade Brestois at the Stadium de Toulouse on Sunday (January 15) in Ligue 1.
The hosts endured a particularly difficult run of results towards the end of last year but have begun 2023 brightly, pushing for the top half of the standings. Toulouse carried out a 5-0 demolition of newly promoted Auxerre in their last game, with five players getting on the scoresheet. Toulouse are 12th in the league table with 22 points from 18 games.
Brestois, meanwhile, have largely struggled this season, finding themselves in the drop zone heading into the second half of the season. They held on for a goalless draw against Lille last time out and were perhaps fortunate to have come away with a sole point after a rather toothless showing.
