Toulouse take on the visitors Troyes in the round 21 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 1st at Stadium Municipal (Toulouse).
Toulouse had earned the right to play in Ligue 1 again. Les Violets in 2007 reached its peak in the form of 3rd place in the championship. But it was only at the end of last season that they managed to return to League 1. It is obvious that the American project owner set more ambitious tasks for the current coach, Montagnier. But for the time being, it is necessary, first of all, to keep the place in elite, and Philip and his wards are moving quite confidently towards this. Yes, there are enough unsuccessful segments, and quite protracted ones. But at the same time, the team alternates them with successful ones. So in January there were not only cup successes, but also victories in Ligue 1 over Ajaccio and Auxerre. True, then at home they ended up in a draw with Brest. But Strasbourg was defeate in strong-willed style due to Dalling's double.

Troyes are still at the bottom of the standings. "ESTAC" joined the City Football Group in 2020. But still, this concern focuses on the "promotion" of its main asset, Manchester City. All other structures are not among the leaders in their countries. It's the same in France. Yes, they managed to return to Ligue 1 and even stay in it, taking 15th place at the end of last season. But there is no intention to make any progress. Again, there is a struggle for survival. It would seem that at least the winter segment began promisingly: 0-0 with Nantes, 3-2 with Strasbourg. Here are just further defeats, both in the cup and in the championship. This series was almost interrupted by a possible victory over Lens, but the visitors managed to equalize in the 88th minute.
The teams went into the winter break, being in the neighborhood in the standings with a distance of only one point from each other. But right now, Toulouse is the middle peasant in Ligue 1, and Troyes, as it was one of the contenders for relegation, remains so. We think the hosts are the favorites in this fight. Philippe Montagnier's wards got four of their seven victories this season at home. Toulouse lost to Troyes the last time in 2006. In 2020/2021, in Ligue 2, the teams recorded draws twice. But in August, Toulouse took a devastating 3-0 on the opponent's field. The hosting party looks stronger at the moment and we are betting on Toulouse to win.
Prediction for the match: Toulouse to win.
