Toulouse – Estac Troyes

Toulouse, currently sitting fifth with nine points from two wins, three draws and two defeats and a narrow 12‑11 goal difference, will host struggling Estac Troyes, who occupy the 17th spot with just four points after one win, one draw and five losses and a 5‑16 deficit. The Ligue 1 clash at Stadium Municipal offers the home side a chance to extend their modest lead over the mid‑table, while Troyes will be desperate to claw back from the relegation zone. Their head‑to‑head record this season has been tight, but Toulouse’s recent unbeaten run gives them a clear edge. Both teams know that three points could prove decisive as the campaign heads into its decisive phase.
