🏠 Lille OSC: Form and Statistics

Recent Form: DWW

While it may be said that Lille remains one of the deadliest teams in the French space, three recent matchdays has proven their invincibility, with two wins and one stalemate. Testing the waters in the 3-3 opener against Stade Brest, the encouraging reactions from fans fueled the 1-nil grapple that followed in the subsequent game against AS Monaco - a game where the opposition found favour in the books as probable victors.

Lille cleared all doubts in the third league game against Lorient, beating them, 7-1 to a rather embarrassing outcome that rang the bells of the challengers, despite being in their comfort zone.

🏁 Lille: Lineup

Refusing to conceal their raw thirst for silverware ambition, Lille’s starting XI is one to strike fear in the core of any sensible challenger. Conceding four goals in three games, they have compensated with eleven goals. Olivier Giroud continues to be as dependable as ever in the target man position, scoring the only goal which made all the difference against AS Monaco. Haraldsson is another danger down the flanks, contributing significantly to their success against Stade Brest and Lorient. Despite notable names being on the bench, Coach Bruno Genesio will have no problem winning with the squad members listed as possible starters.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ozar, Perraud-Ribeiro-Ngoy-Meunier, Andre-Bouaddi, Correia-Heraldsson-Broholm, Giroud

👤 Head Coach: Bruno Genesio

⛔ Out: Injured - Ethan Mbappe, Calliard, Mukau, Toure, Gomes, Meunier. Doubtful - Tiago Santos

✈️ Toulouse: Form and Statistics

Recent Form: WWL

Soaring high in their first two games with notable victories against OGC Nice (1-nil) and Stade Brest (two-nil), Toulouse had their wings clipped in the 6-3 wake-up call against Paris Saint Germain in the third matchday. The nine-goal thriller which saw them scorched to the earth as the Parisiens continued to tear through their lines kept both fan and player wishing it was over, despite efforts in the lineup to clog the defense lines and the midfield. The 6-3 playout against PSG marked as the first game of the season with concession, and defeat.

Toulouse plays from the sixth league spot, with six points, but a zero goal-difference rating, having scored and conceded six goals in the first three weeks.

🏁 Toulouse: Lineup

Carles Martines idea to field a 5-4-1 was tanked by Luis Enrique last week, with the shake-up seeing the spine of the team broken as efforts to close the gap led to fouls, eventually conceding two converted penalties. Against PSG, the problem with Toulouse’s lineup was in the defensive flanks, who were constantly outplayed by the opposing wingers. Magri was among the players who wished the nightmare was quickly over as he flunked an early penalty in the first half. Sidibe also suffered in his station as he was ridiculed by the youngsters from the Parc des Princes, who consistently out-witted him on speed and one-on-one duels.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (5-4-1): Restes, Methalie-McKenzie-Cresswell-Sidibe-Donnum, Gboho-Casseres Jnr- Sauer-Edjouma, Magri

👤 Head Coach: Carles Martines

⛔ Out: Injured - Schmidt, Azizi, Doubtful - Francis, ,Messali
