Toulouse vs. Metz Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Toulouse vs. Metz

Toulouse, eager to break free from a disappointing six-game winless streak, will welcome newly-promoted Metz for a Sunday Ligue 1 clash at Stadium Municipal.

Carles Martinez’s team couldn’t maintain a one-goal lead and suffered a 2-1 defeat against Lens in their previous outing, while Les Grenats also faced a setback with a 1-0 loss to Strasbourg in the Derby de l’Est.

After inflicting further heartache on Coupe de France final opponents Nantes with a 2-1 victory on the opening day of the season, Toulouse’s performance has been inconsistent and underwhelming. Last weekend, Martinez’s team became Lens’ first victims of the season.

Cesar Gelabert’s well-placed finish in the 33rd minute gave Les Violets the lead, but Wesley Said, a former player of Toulouse, equalized for Lens just before halftime. Substitute Morgan Guilavogui completed Lens’ comeback in the dying moments of the match.

Toulouse vs. Metz

Struggling with confidence due to a five-game winless streak in the top flight, along with a forgettable 1-1 draw in their Europa League opener against Union SG, Toulouse currently find themselves in 15th place in the Ligue 1 table, holding a two-point lead over Lens, who occupy the relegation playoff position.

What to remember – Toulouse vs. Metz

This fixture has seen its fair share of draws in recent years, and although the teams haven’t faced each other since before the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s plausible that the trend will persist.

Toulouse has become known for drawing matches at home, while Metz has shown a knack for resolute defensive performances on their travels. It’s likely that both sides will leave with another point added to their tally in this encounter.
