Lille will endeavour to edge themselves closer to the European qualification places when they travel to Stadium TFC to face Toulouse in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

The hosts, meanwhile, are looking to finish the season strongly as they bid to climb into the top 10, a year on from winning the Ligue 2 title.

Players to watch: Toulouse’s success could depend on Thijs Dallinga as he’s netted seven times in his last ten league appearances. His scoring exploits pale in comparison to Lille’s Jonathan David, who’s scored seven times in five league games – a run that has launched him to the top of the Ligue 1 scoring chart.

Hot stat: Toulouse have trailed at half-time in just two of their 14 Ligue 1 home games, while Lille have led at the interval just twice in away league games.

Toulouse 1-1 Lille

A closely-fought contest between two inconsistent teams is set to be played out at Stadium TFC, and although Lille will be regarded as slight favourites to come out on top, we believe that Toulouse will follow up last weekend’s win with a hard-fought point on home soil.
