Paris FC team overview
Last season, Paris FC secured their second-ever Ligue 1 appearance, the first since 1979. This season, their only goal is to survive. Even though they are close to the danger zone, they cannot be too unhappy, since they are five points away from it. Thus far, they have collected 16 points in 15 rounds. Unfortunately, they are in bad form, having won one in the past eight games, and are desperate to stop their negative momentum.
After a goalless draw against Le Havre in the previous game, coach Stéphane Gilli spoke to the media. He said they were not clinical enough, but also acknowledged they showed good collective control. Still, he wasn't too unhappy with a draw, considering Le Havre missed a penalty.

Toulouse team overview
Last season, Toulouse finished 10th in Ligue 1, which was their best placement since returning to the top flight in 2022. However, that 10th place looks a lot better than it actually is because they won only 42 points. In some seasons, that would put them just above the danger zone. This year, even though they have been inconsistent, they are doing a fairly good job. After 15 rounds, they are in 9th place with 20 points (1.33 per game). That is around 0.2 ppg more than last season. At the moment, they are pretty close to European spots (four points), but we doubt they are good enough to be among the top six teams.
According to credible sources, Aron Donum received a two-game ban due to an offensive gesture during the Marseille game and will serve his suspension. The 27-year-old midfielder has been among the best players on the team this season, and his absence will definitely be a factor.

Prediction
Both teams are in bad form. Paris FC won once in eight games, while Toulouse won once in the past seven matches. Mostly due to poor offensive performances, Paris FC and Toulouse went under 2.5 goals in four of their last five games - 80%.
Paris FC have struggled scoring recently, scoring one or zero goals in six out of the past eight games. So, expecting a great offensive display seems unreal.
Meanwhile, Toulouse have scored one or zero goals in five out of the last seven games. They scored a total of six goals in those seven matches - 0.86 per game. That is well below their season average of 1.4 goals per game.
Considering all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this Ligue 1 tie.
3 Reasons why we should see fewer than three goals
- Paris FC scored one or zero goals in six of the last eight games
- Toulouse scored six goals in the last seven matches
- Both teams went under 2.5 goals in four of the last five games
