- Competition: Ligue 1
- Date: 9th February 2025
- Kick-off: 16:15 UTC / 17:15 CET
- Venue: Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps
Two sides separated by just three points in the French top flight meet on Sunday afternoon as Auxerre play host to Toulouse.
Auxerre are one of the new boys in the French top flight after they won the Ligue 2 title last season. Many expected Les Diplomates to be in the bottom three at this stage, as is often the case with newly promoted teams but that's not the case. Christophe Pélissier's side sit five places above the bottom three and have the sixth-best home record in the division.
Toulouse, meanwhile, are playing French top flight football for the third season running. They sit three places above the hosts, but their recent form has been patchy. Carles Martínez Novell's men lost 2-0 to Ligue 2 side Guingamp in the French Cup in midweek and have not won any of their last four league games.
Auxerre vs Toulouse Betting Tips: Double Chance Auxerre
Auxerre have lost two of their last three Ligue 1 games and conceded four goals against Monaco last weekend, but both were away from home. Christophe Pélissier's men are unbeaten in their last eight league games at the Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps, winning three and drawing four.
Having also drawn with league leaders and record champions PSG in that time, avoiding defeat against Toulouse shouldn't be too much to ask.
The visitors are winless in their last four games in all competitions and have not travelled well of late. Martínez' side won just one of their last five away games and failed to score in all but two of those outings.

Toulouse team news
As far as Toulose are concerned, head coach Carles Martínez Novell will not be able to use the services of Rasmus Nicolaisen and Niklas Schmidt due to injuries.
Given the performance and scoreline against Guingamp in the French Cup round of 16 last time out, boss Martinez is expected to make alterations to his XI, with Shavy Babicka among those who could drop to the bench.
