Ligue 1
Although Nice are a historically better team than Toulouse, four of the last six H2H matches ended with a draw. Last season, both games ended 1-1. Another interesting fact about Nice and Toulouse H2H matches is that six of the previous seven encounters finished with two or fewer goals.
Nice team overview
The 2024/25 season was another good year for Nice. They ended fourth in Ligue 1 and got the opportunity to play in the Champions League qualifications. Nice entered the qualifications for the most elite European competition with a lot of confidence after a fine preseason, but Benfica outplayed them with a 4-0 aggregate score. Nice in those two matches created only xG of 1.23, and it was clear that they are not even close to the opponent's level.
Two important players from the last season left Nice this summer, Marcin Bulka and Evann Guessand. Bulka was the team's first-choice goalkeeper for the previous two seasons, while Guessand had 12 goals and nine assists in 33 Ligue 1 last year. Nice reinvested part of the money in signing Yehvann Diouf (who came from Reims), Isak Jansson (Rapid Vienna), and Kojo Peprah Oppong (Norrkoping). Nice also added Juma Bah on loan from Manchester City.
It is still early in the season, but Nice already have serious problems with injuries. They will be without Morgan Sanson, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, and Mohamed Abdelmonem on Saturday against Toulouse. Also, Mohamed-Ali Cho, Dante, and Tanguy Ndombele are questionable.

Toulouse team overview
Toulouse finished mid-table last season, and a similar outcome this year would likely be considered a success. However, their preseason form raises concerns, with the team recording two draws and four defeats. In the last test, Carles Martinez's team played 1-1 against Sevilla. In all matches this summer, it was clear that Toulouse had serious problems with the attack, which will need urgent attention in the current transfer window.
Toulouse left a couple of important players from the last season, like Zakaria Aboukhlal, Shavy Babicka, Cesar Gelabert, and Gabriel Suazo. On the other hand, Toulouse signed Santiago Hidalgo (who came from Independiente), Abu Francis (Cercle Brugge), and Mario Sauer (Zilina).
Toulouse will be without Cristian Casseres, Rafik Messali, Ilyas Azizi, and Niklas Schmidt on Saturday in Nice. Also, Rasmus Nicolaisen is questionable.

Prediction
Both teams have serious problems with scoring. Nice failed to score in two Champions League qualification matches against Benfica, while Toulouse scored only three goals in six preseason games. Also, historically, Nice and Toulouse usually have low-scoring H2H matches. With all that, we shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming clash.
4 Reasons why we shouldn't expect more than two goals in this match
- Nice were goalless in their last two matches
- Toulouse scored only three goals in the previous six games
- Last season, both H2H matches between Nice and Toulouse ended 1-1
- Six of the previous H2H games between these two teams finished with two or fewer goals
