Toulouse managed to avoid relegation after a tough start to their Ligue 1 campaign, securing a five-game unbeaten streak in the top-flight. They secured a late 2-1 victory against Lorient, closing the gap to just six points behind RC Lens in the final European spot. However, a top-six finish seems unlikely with three rounds remaining.

Montpellier’s Ligue 1 campaign has been similar to their opponents’, with the latter having struggled in the danger zone. Montpellier, led by Michel Der Zakarian, has a five-game unbeaten run and a 1-1 draw against Nantes. They need just one more point from the final three rounds to secure their 15th consecutive season in the elite tier.

Toulouse and Montpellier are gaining momentum in the French top-flight, with both having an unblemished record from the past five rounds. Both teams are looking to break their five-game unbeaten streak, and an enticing match at Stade de Toulouse could be on the cards. Both teams have scored at least three goals in their last 10 matchups, including their first clash where Montpellier sunk Toulouse 3-0. Toulouse’s defensive unit will be heavily tested, while Montpellier has shown outstanding proficiency in the last third, hitting the net in 13 consecutive competitive fixtures.

Toulouse manager Carles Martínez Novell has a fully-fit team for the upcoming game, with no fitness concerns. The team is expected to start with a 3-4-2-1 formation, featuring Guillaume Restes, Logan Costa, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Kevin Keben, Mikkel Desler, Stijn Spierings, Vincent Sierro, Gabriel Suazo, Aron Dönnum.

Montpellier manager Michel Der Zakarian has no fitness concerns for the upcoming match against La Paillade, as the team is expected to use a 3-5-2 formation, featuring Benjamin Lecomte, Becir Omeragic, Christopher Jullien, Modibo Sagnan, Enzo Tchato, Jordan Ferri, Joris Chotard, Teji Savanier, Issiaga Sylla, Mousa Tamari, and Akor Adams.
