The starting lineup for each team is from their last match in this tournament.
Toulouse
The team snapped a four-game winless streak in the French championship (1 draw, 3 losses), convincingly defeating Montpellier in the previous round with a score of 3-0. Toulouse also ended their streak of conceding goals in this tournament, which also lasted four matches, keeping a clean sheet for only the third time this season in Ligue 1. The victory in the previous encounter allowed the club to climb to the 14th spot in the Ligue 1 standings, increasing their lead over the relegation playoff zone to 3 points.
- The team did not score more than 1 goal in 8 of their last 10 matches in the French championship.
- At home, the club failed to win in 25 of their last 29 Ligue 1 matches (11 draws, 14 losses).
- Toulouse conceded goals in 12 of their last 15 home encounters in France's elite division.
Reims
The club lost their last two Ligue 1 matches with the same score of 1-2, facing Auxerre and Brest. Reims suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time this season, having previously gone 6 matches without a loss in this tournament (4 wins, 2 draws). As a result of this poor run, the team dropped from 4th to 6th place in the Ligue 1 standings. Nevertheless, the club's scoring streak in the championship continues, having found the back of the net in all 8 matches of the current season.
- There was a goal exchange in Reims' last 8 Ligue 1 encounters.
- At least 3 goals were scored in 7 of the team's last 8 games in this tournament.
- The club did not lose in 7 of their last 10 away championship matches (3 wins, 4 draws).
Toulouse vs. Reims: match prediction
Carles Martínez's team secured only their second win of the current Ligue 1 season, and it's too early to say that they are on a winning path. After all, the defeated side in the previous round was the struggling Montpellier, which has had significant issues and has already undergone a coaching change. Facing a solid Reims side, the hosts will find it difficult to build on their success. The visitors have slowed down a bit, having lost their last 2 championship matches, but they are fully capable of taking points from Toulouse.
Reims did not suffer a defeat in 7 of their last 10 away Ligue 1 matches, scoring against their opponents every time. Toulouse, on the other hand, rarely secures victories at their home stadium, having won only 4 of their previous 29 championship matches. Moreover, Toulouse failed to defeat Reims in 4 of their last 5 personal encounters in Ligue 1 (3 draws, 1 loss). And in the current season, the upcoming opponents are in opposite parts of the standings, which objectively reflects the balance of power at this stage of the season.
I believe that the visitors will not lose this match, my prediction is "Reims win or draw" with the odds of .
