🇫🇷 Toulouse vs Lille 🇫🇷 — Prediction
Ligue 1 · Matchday 3 · Thu, 03 Sept 2026, 20:45 CEST · Stadium de Toulouse, Toulouse
Why we called it
Toulouse have one point from two under new coach Jens Berthel Askou: beaten 0-2 at home by Lyon and then held 2-2 at Brest, where Russell-Rowe and Tape scored but they conceded a 90+5 equaliser — a very young rebuilt squad (average age under 22) with Magri still out and Cresswell loaned to Rennes. Lille sit third on four points under Davide Ancelotti after winning 2-0 at Angers and drawing 2-2 with PSG, with Giroud on the scoresheet and Haraldsson already scoring twice, likely lining up 4-2-3-1 behind the veteran striker. Previews and odds make Lille a clear but not overwhelming favourite on a Thursday-night trip five days before their European opener, so we keep the away win and trim it to a single goal. 1-2, with the leaky Toulouse defence good for a goal at the Stadium.
