Lorient vs Toulouse Prediction & Betting Tips (28 April)

The situation is quite difficult for FC Lorient who risk being relegated to Ligue 2 next month. Very quickly in difficulty this year in this championship, the Morbihan club seemed to have raised its head after the winter break. But ultimately, Régis Le Bris' men have plunged again in recent weeks with a series of poor performances when approaching the final sprint. Stuck in a very negative dynamic, the Merlus have only taken one point over the last 6 days and they remain on 4 defeats in a row suffered against Brest 0-1, Montpellier 2-0 and Nice 3-0 and finally PSG Wednesday evening 1-4. In the standings, they are now in 17th position with 3 points behind the first non-relegation team.

Opposite, Toulouse seems definitively out of the woods in the race to remain. The TFC occupies 11th place in the ranking with a very comfortable lead of 9 points over the play-off 4 days before the end of this 2023-2024 season which will have been especially marked by its good performances achieved in the Europa League before the winter break . Carles Martinez's men have been undefeated for 4 days. Hanging at home by Strasbourg 0-0, the Violets then went for a nice victory against Rennes 1-2 before being caught on the edge during their duel against OM last week 2-2.

Midfielder Boisgard, potentially starting defenders Igor Silva and Talbi, former Marseillais Dieng and midfielder Abergel should not be able to hold their place for this meeting. Otherwise, Régis Le Bris should renew his confidence in striker Bamba (6 goals), who started strong after his arrival during the winter transfer window but who has encountered more difficulties lately. He should still be tenured. The promising Kroupi (17 years old, 5 goals) and the experienced Benjamin Mendy and Bakayoko will also be present.

On the TFC side, young defender Mawissa Elebi is the only player on this team who cannot hold his place this Sunday. Already dismissed last week, the Norwegian Dönnum and the Australian Genreau hope to rejoin this team for this trip to Moustoir. The captain of this team Vincent Sierro (6 goals) and the Dutch striker Dallinga (11 goals) are well operational, as is the winter recruit Gboho who had to give up his place after scoring against OM.
