Team News

Toulouse
  • Toulouse have almost a fully fit squad to choose from but will be without Aymen Abdennour, who has a heel problem.
  • However, Serge Aurier returns from injury after missing the defeat against Lorient.
  • Expect manager Alain Casanova to name a similar side to the one that lost in Brittany as they aim to bounce back against the struggling Corsicans.
Bastia
  • Bastia travel to Toulouse with a number of injury concerns.
  • Jerome Rothen is still out with a thigh injury, while Sylvain Marchal is also struggling to recover from a similar concern.
  • Toifilou Maoulida missed the draw with Lille with a thigh problem of his own, and Yannick Cahuzac is a doubt with a shoulder concern.
  • However, Wahbi Khazri should be fit to return after missing out last weekend due to illness.

Prediction

  • Toulouse welcome Bastia to the Stade Municipal hoping to bounce back from a disappointing loss at Lorient.
  • La Tefece have proved prolific in front of goal this term, but drew a blank last weekend as they were stymied by the men from Brittany.
  • Clean sheets are not something that has been associated with Bastia this season, but the men from Corsica did manage to clinch one at Lille last time out as they earned a superb point.
  • The islanders will hope to combine defensive solidity with the exciting play that have become known for in recent times, but with both teams extremely blessed with creativity, a high-scoring affair should definitely be on the cards.
