Toulouse take on the visitors Lyon in the round 26 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, February 15th at Stadium Municipal (Toulouse).
The current season is shaping up much better for Toulouse than the last one. Yes, a year ago, the team won the country's cup and made it to the Europa League, but in the league, they were fighting against relegation until the very end. In the current season, the little ones are keeping a distance from the relegation zone by six points and from the playoff zone by four. Considering how tight the competition is in the table, this is quite a significant margin. A splendid streak of three consecutive victories against Nice (2-1), Monaco (2-1), and Lille (3-1) has helped the purple side move closer to the mid-table. As you can see, the Both Teams to Score bet is a frequent choice in matches involving Toulouse.

Having recovered from a poor start to the season, Lyon are gradually climbing up the ranks with each round. The Lions are now in the top 10 and are two points ahead of Toulouse. In the last six rounds of the championship, Lyon only faltered in the home game against Lens, losing 0-3. However, in the other five matches during this period, they emerged victorious against all opponents: Nice and Marseille (both 1-0), Montpellier and Metz (both 2-1), and Lorient (2-0). As you can see, Lyon's attack, currently led by Pierre Sagnol, is in good shape at the moment. So, I believe in Lyon's ability to score even in an away match against Toulouse.
It's worth noting that both teams have been in good form lately, pleasing their fans with positive results. In the last five matches, the hosts have three wins, while the visitors have four. Moreover, these are teams that currently occupy the 11th and 10th positions in the table, respectively. I don't think it's wise to predict the outcome of the Lyon vs. Toulouse match. However, believing in at least one goal from each side is quite reasonable and logical. In the last nine rounds of Ligue 1, both teams have only failed to score once, not disappointing their opponents. Also, it's worth mentioning that in the last six head-to-head matches on Toulouse's turf, the Both Teams to Score bet has been successful.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
