Football Results

This last match of the 33rd round of French Ligue 1 is clash between two teams that still haven’t secured a place for themselves in the elite football league in France next season, where 15th-placed Cean has at the moment three points more than 17th-positioned Toulouse. Both teams had a range of problems recently, which in fact put them in such situation. We need to add that their match played in Toulouse last autumn had ended as victory of the home team 2-0.

Caen

At the same time Caen can boast with three consecutive victories at home over Toulouse and mostly because of that we have announcement from the ranks that will try to do the same this time. However, in order to succeed Cean must play much better than in five previous rounds in which it won just one point, while seven days ago it was eliminated from the French Cup, after losing at home 3-1 to new champion of France PSG.

Still, team led by manager Garande has managed to put an end to embarrassing five-game losing streak last weekend as they drew away in the league with the penultimate Metz 1-1. In that way their advantage over 18th-placed Troyes has increased to seven points and if they win Toulouse now, it would probably mean they have secured survival in the elite football league in France for one more year. Let’s add that due to injuries still out of action are defender Mbengue, midfielder Ait Benasser, and forwards Santini and Kouakou.

Probable lineups SM Caen: Vercoutre – Genevois, da Silva, Djiku – Guilbert, Deminguet, Diomande, Feret, Bessat – Rodelin, Crivelli

FC Toulouse

Regarding the guests from Toulouse, they are currently positioned right above the drop zone but they have four points more and have played one match fewer than 18th-placed Troyes, so everything is still in their hands in the finish of season. Right in previous round Toulouse won a very valuable home victory over Angers 2-0, as before that it had not so great eight-game winless streak of four wins and the same number of defeats.

Triumph over Angers should be an additional motive for team led by manager Debeve to try to win at least one point from this away match with Cean, which would mean a lot ahead of decisive four rounds. Right because of that we believe that Toulouse will play quite defensively now, while fact that currently out of action is just from before injured midfielder Bodiger comes quite handy.

Probable lineups FC Toulouse: Lafont – Amian, Diop, Jullien, Moubandje – Blin, Sangare – Delort, Imbula, Gradel – Sanogo

Verdict:

Given that the two teams still haven’t secured their survival in the Ligue 1 we believe the main objective in their head-to-head will be to stay undefeated, which is why we have opted here for pick with fewer goals.
