PSG vs Toulouse Predictions

• Both teams have scored in seven of PSG’s last nine Ligue 1 matches
• Toulouse have scored in 11 of their 13 away league matches this year
• Toulouse beat PSG 3-1 at Parc des Princes in May

PSG could find Toulouse hard to contain

Paris Saint-Germain could find Toulouse hard to contain when they play host to Les Violets at Parc des Princes on Friday evening.

Le Tefece won 3-1 on their last trip to Paris in May, although that result must be set in the context of it coming a few days after Luis Enrique’s side had been knocked out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage by Borussia Dortmund.

PSG were licking their wounds and mentally preparing for life after Kylian Mbappe, so there were some vulnerabilities for the visitors to exploit. They still own a perfect home record in Ligue 1 this term and ought to justify their heavy favoritism for the three points this weekend.

Les Violets can get a goal

Toulouse, however, may be able to give them plenty to think about during the 90 minutes after displaying some improved away form of late.  Under Carles Martinez Novell, they have won back-to-back road games without conceding at Montpellier and Rennes.

In fact, they are among the top defensive teams in Ligue 1 right now with an expected goals against (xGA) to rival PSG’s. Toulouse have also got a decent scoring record away from home over an extended period, having scored in 11 of their 13 total away league games this year.

That is enough evidence to consider backing both teams to score in this fixture. It has landed in four of PSG’s five home league games already this term with the three teams that sit below Toulous in the table all having bagged in Paris.
