We’re into the final furlong now as we approach the last few games of the Ligue 1 season. French football has really come into its own since last August with a campaign full of exciting twists and turns at both ends of the table. Now, it’s all a case of seeing who can hold their nerve. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be an interesting clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Toulouse.
PSG Form GuideParis Saint-Germain are French champions again, they’re on the verge of a Coupe de France final, and silverware is flowing in as regularly as ever. However, between their latest Champions League failure and Kylian Mbappe announcing his departure, there are far more questions than answers. This summer, they need to work incredibly hard if they want to rebuild in the right way.
In addition to being dumped out of Europe by Borussia Dortmund, PSG’s most recent outing in the league didn’t exactly fill fans with confidence. They played host to Le Havre, and the end result of that clash was a 3-3 draw that felt really avoidable for many.
Toulouse Form GuideToulouse finished last season with a pretty below-par spot in the Ligue 1 table but alongside that, they were also able to capture the Coupe de France trophy in convincing fashion. Alas, this time around, they haven’t quite been able to follow up on that in the manner they would’ve liked. Now, their focus is likely turning to the summer and thinking about what changes they can make.
Toulouse and Montpellier were involved in a really intense clash last weekend that saw both clubs go down to ten men. In addition to that, there were three goals shared between them, with Montpellier edging past the hosts with a really important 2-1 win.
Match PredictionBoth of these teams, we imagine, are just waiting for the season to end - and that’s particularly strange to consider when you think about what the hosts have achieved already and what could lie ahead. In our view, unsurprisingly, the most likely outcome in this one is a PSG win.
