Nantes Preview: Solid point
In his second stint in charge of the club, Antoine Kombouare has his Nantes side beginning the 31st match day of the 2024/25 Ligue 1 campaign sitting four points above the bottom three and the danger zone with 12 points to play for.
The Canaries’ inconsistent form continued in midweek with a more than creditable 1-1 draw with champions and unbeaten Paris Saint-Germain at Stade de la Beaujoire in midweek due to an 83rd minute equaliser scored by Douglas Augusto.
Toulouse Preview: On the beach
Managed by Spanish coach Carlos Martinez Novell, Toulouse have been easy on the eye to watch in Ligue 1 in the last few seasons but, once again, they have been restricted by inconsistency that leaves them sitting firmly in the middle-of-the-table.
Toulouse’ form has collapsed in the last couple of months, though, with their 1-0 defeat to Stade de Reims in their most recent outing last weekend meaning they have now suffered five successive defeats in Ligue 1.

Nantes vs Toulouse Prediction
Nantes’ 1-1 draw with PSG represents a crucial point and result for Nantes in their battle against the drop. They do appear quite focused at the moment, despite the major off-field protests against the players throughout the campaign. They now face a Toulouse side that have been ‘on the beach’ so to speak for quite a while now and a focused Nantes side, with their home advantage, would have to be viewed as favourites for this one.
