The players Vito Mannone, Bamo Meté, Montassar Talbi, Vincent Le Goff, Igor Silva, Laurent Abergel, Jean-Victor Makengo, Yoann Cathline, Stephane Diarra, Julien Ponceau, and Ahmadou Bamba Dieng should start for Les Merlus in a 3-4-2-1 formation, in our opinion.
There is only one fitness concern for Toulouse manager Philippe Montanier to deal with because the team is largely full strength. Rhys Healey is unable to play in this contest due to a fractured ligament.
Maxime Dupe, Warren Kamanzi, Anthony Rouault, Logan Costa, Gabriel Suazo, Stijn Spierings, Denis Genreau, Zakaria Aboukhlal, Vincent Sierro, Farès Chabi, and Thijs Dallinga are potential starters for Toulouse in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
