My Prediction
Toulouse by 1Let's dive into this thrilling Ligue 1 matchup between Toulouse and Le Havre.
In the goalkeeper department, Toulouse has Guillaume Restes with a decent 6.53 rating and 7 saves, and Kjetil Haug sharing similar stats at 6.50 and 3 saves. Standing guard for Le Havre is Mathieu Gorgelin, boasting a 7.10 rating and 12 saves. Apparently, there's more traffic in Gorgelin's side of the pitch.
Player-wise, Toulouse has Cristian Cásseres Jr. at the front who's netted 1 goal and made 1 shot on goal with a 7.35 rating. Hot on his heels is Aron Dønnum with sturdy 7.15 rating and Charlie Cresswell, who has shown his worth with 1 goal, 3 shots on goal, and a 7.13 rating.
On the other side, Le Havre's got Gautier Lloris, who with an impressive 7.47 rating, has been passing like a maestro and Issa Soumaré who had made himself a force to be reckoned with, carrying a 7.40 rating, striking 1 goal and making 4 shots on goal. Accompanying them is Yanis Zouaoui, a key player with a 7.30 rating.
And speaking of meeting history, it's a soap opera. Their last encounters saw Toulouse grab a 2-0 win, Le Havre had a 2-1 celebration, and Le Havre staining their record book with a recent 1-0 victory.
Looking at their regular season records, Le Havre isn't doing as charmingly as they would like, with 5 wins, 2 draws, and 15 losses. Toulouse hasn't been spectacular either, but with 7 wins, 6 draws, and 9 losses, they manage to keep their nose above the water in the comparison.
Now, Toulouse has been on a pretty slippery slope recently, having a tough tangle with teams like Paris Saint-Germain, Auxerre, Nice, and Montpellier. On the other hand, Le Havre seemed to struggle more, reflecting in their encounters with Nice, Lille, Angers, Stade Brestois, and Stade de Reims.
Taking all of this into consideration, I reckon Toulouse will win, but they won't be sitting pretty after this one.
Albert’s Prediction: Toulouse by 1.
