Sunday’s round 26 of the French Ligue 1 pits Toulouse against Clermont Foot at the Stadium de Toulouse. This matchup has all the makings of an exciting contest because there is only one point and one place between the two teams in the bottom half of the table.
With a 6-1 victory over second-tier Rodez AF on Wednesday, Toulouse cruised into the Coupe de France semis. Now, Philippe Montanier’s team is focusing on Ligue 1, where they have lost two of their last three games and three of their last four.
Toulouse is currently 11th in the league table, one point ahead of the visitors on Sunday, with 32 points from 25 games. Clermont Foot, on the other hand, could only salvage a 1-1 draw with Strasbourg on their own turf last time out because they were unable to find their feet.
The team led by Pascal Gastien has lost five of their last six games, drawing three and losing three. Since the beginning of the year, Toulouse has won three of their four league games played on the road, with the exception of a 2-0 defeat to Stade Rennais in February.

Toulouse vs Clermont Foot Prediction :
We anticipate a cagey encounter at the Stadium de Toulouse, with both teams taking a cautious approach, given that there is only one point between them in the league table. Since the beginning of the year, Le Tefece has been nearly invulnerable on their own turf, and we are backing them to win this one narrowly.
Prediction: Toulouse 2-1 Clermont Foot
Toulouse vs Clermont Foot Head to head :
Toulouse holds the advantage in this matchup’s history with two victories from the previous four meetings. Clermont Foot’s only win came in the reverse match in September, when they beat Le Tefece 2-0 at the Stade Gabriel Montpied. They also shared the spoils once.
In their last six home games, Toulouse has won five, losing to Marseille 3-2 on February 19. Since their 2-1 victory over Angers in January, Clermont Foot has lost six matches in a row across all competitions, losing three and drawing three.
Toulouse vs Clermont Foot Team news :
Rhys Healey, a striker for Toulouse, will be out for a second time on Wednesday night as he recovers from a cruciate ligament injury. Thijs Dallinga is expected to lead the line here because he has scored five goals in his last six games and has the potential to do so for the first time in a top-flight league season.
As a result of the 22-year-old center back suffering a meniscus injury during the goalless draw at Lille, Clermont will be without center back Alidu Seidu this weekend. The player is anticipated to return next month.
Johan Gastien is still being treated by Pascal Gastien’s team because the midfielder hasn’t recovered from a calf injury he suffered in the win against Angers last month.
