The French Ligue 1 returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Paris FC and Toulouse lock horns at the Stade Jean Bouin on Saturday. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since April 2022, when Toulouse picked up a 2-1 victory on home turf.
Paris FC failed to pull clear of the danger zone last weekend as they played out a goalless draw with Le Havre when the two teams squared off at the Stade Oceane.
Stephane Gilli’s men have failed to taste victory in four straight matches, losing twice and claiming two draws, and have managed just one win from their last eight games since mid-October.
With 16 points from 15 Ligue 1 matches, Paris are currently 14th in the league standings, but they could move level on points with 11th-placed Stade Brestois with a win this weekend.
Elsewhere, a first-half strike from Brazilian forward Emerson proved enough to fire Toulouse to a 1-0 victory over Strasbourg at the Stadium de Toulouse last Saturday.
Carles Martinez’s side had failed to win their previous six matches, losing twice and picking up four draws since thrashing Metz 4-0 on October 19.
Toulouse have picked up 20 points from their 15 Ligue 1 matches so far to sit 10th in the league standings, four points and four places above this weekend’s hosts.
