Team Form and Analysis for Toulouse FC
Recent Domestic and European Performance
Toulouse FC has shown a penchant for attacking football under coach Carles Martínez. Their domestic form has been patchy overall, recording four wins, two draws, and four losses in their first ten Ligue 1 matches. They currently sit in 9th position with 14 points.
The team showcased immense character in their recent 2-2 draw with Rennes, coming back from a two-goal deficit with late strikes. Their home form is a significant strength, as they have extended their unbeaten run at the Stadium de Toulouse to three matches in this competition. Notably, Les Pitchouns have scored multiple goals in six consecutive league contests at home, underscoring their offensive threat in front of their own fans. They are among the league leaders in touches in the opposition’s box and have been awarded a league-high number of penalties, highlighting their aggressive attacking approach.
Key Player: Aron Donnum
Midfielder Aron Donnum has been instrumental in the final third, contributing with goals and his consistent forward drive. His goal against Rennes was his third of the league campaign, demonstrating his knack for crucial moments. His ability to link midfield and attack will be vital in breaking down Le Havre’s resolute defence.
Team Form and Analysis for Le Havre AC
Recent Domestic and European Performance
Le Havre AC, who have returned to the top flight, have enjoyed a period of resurgence since late September. They currently occupy 11th place with 12 points. Didier Digard’s side enters this contest riding a two-match winning run, securing maximum points in five of their last six Ligue 1 affairs.
Their recent success has been built on a solid defensive foundation, securing two consecutive clean sheets. A victory this weekend would mark their longest winning streak in the competition since the 2002-03 campaign. Le Havre’s strategy often involves aggressive pressing and breaking up transitional play, a factor supported by their high average number of fouls per match. However, their away form against Toulouse remains a historical concern, having only claimed one victory in their previous top-flight visits.
Key Player: Arouna Sangante
Centre-back and captain Arouna Sangante has been a standout performer, not only anchoring the defence but also contributing offensively, as seen by his winning goal against Brest. His leadership and form at the back have been critical to their recent clean sheets. Le Havre will rely on his defensive organisation to nullify Toulouse’s home attack.
Head-to-Head Record
Historically, the overall record favours Toulouse, particularly in matches played at the Stadium de Toulouse.

Players to Watch
For Toulouse FC: Frank Magri
The striker is a constant threat and a focal point for the Toulouse attack. Despite failing to score in the last match, Frank Magri is one of the team’s top goalscorers this season, and his movement and finishing ability will be crucial in penetrating Le Havre’s defence.
For Le Havre AC: Issa Soumaré
Operating in the attacking line, Issa Soumaré is a key figure in Le Havre’s offensive plays. Along with Rassoul Ndiaye, he is one of the team’s joint-top scorers. His pace and ability to create chances on the counter-attack could be the source of Le Havre’s goals.
Prediction
Analysis of the Likely Outcome
This match pits Toulouse’s potent home attack against Le Havre’s recent defensive solidity. Toulouse’s resilience, demonstrated by their ability to score multiple goals at home, makes them the slight favourite. Le Havre’s impressive run of form cannot be overlooked, but their historic struggle at the Stadium de Toulouse and the attacking depth of the hosts suggest a tough contest for the visiting side.
Toulouse will push the tempo, aiming to utilise the width of the pitch and win set-pieces, while Le Havre will likely sit deep and look to hit on the counter. Given the confidence in both camps, it is likely that both teams will find the back of the net, but the home advantage and superior firepower should ultimately see Toulouse edge a narrow victory.
