Toulouse vs Marseille Prediction 31.08.2024 | Ligue 1

• Competition: Ligue 1
• Date: 31.08.2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Stadium Municipal (Toulouse)

Even in the preparatory period, it could be sensed that this Toulouse team has a solid level of quality and that they can be a significant factor in Ligue 1 this season. The victories against Girona and Roma are certainly a significant thing and it is something that boosted the confidence of the players. At the start of the competition in Ligue 1, Toulouse played two draws against very good rivals Nantes and Nice. Next up is perhaps the toughest opponent so far, one of the biggest French teams - Marseille.

Behind Marseille is one of the worst seasons in this century in which they finished in 8th place. Without Europe and international matches this season, their priority will be to place as well as possible in the national championship and regain the trust of the fans. It started quite decently with a convincing victory against Brest 5-1 on the road, but then there was only a draw against Reims at home 2-2. It is obvious that Marseille play much more offensively than before.

Toulouse vs Marseille pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

In April of this year, in a direct duel between these teams at this very stadium, the final score was 2-2. Toulouse has the strength to oppose Marseille and can punish the slightly more offensive formation of Marseille, which plays very risky. On the other hand, Marseille has an attack that could score against any team in France and across Europe. We expect a very interesting match with a lot of chances on both sides. Both teams to score is what we like at this moment as a bet for this duel.
