Lyon vs Toulouse match prediction, 05 October 2025

After a series of issues prior to this season and threats of demotion, nobody would have thought Lyon would be this exceptional this season. They have won all four home games this season and have lost just once in eight games in all competitions. They also have a good record against Toulouse, having remained unbeaten against them in their last 18 games. With this, I expect the hosts to secure an easy win in this game and also keep a clean sheet. They have kept four clean sheets in their last five games.
