🔴Live🔴TOULOUSE VS MONTPELLIER -LIGUE 1 23/24🔴Live🔴LIVE SCORES & FULL COMMENTARY

Despite their recent five-match unbeaten run (W3, D2), Toulouse look destined for a mid-table finish in Ligue 1 rather than a UEFA Europa Conference League place, unless they can win all three of their remaining games and other results go their way. Crucially though, Le Téfécé have guaranteed a third consecutive season among France’s elite, and that will have been top of the priority list at the start of this campaign.

Carles Martínez Novell’s side will no doubt reflect on mediocre home form as the reason they’ve not troubled the top six more, picking up more points away (24) than they have at Stadium de Toulouse (16) this season. They are currently on a run of three without a win on home soil (D2, L1), while a failure to score prior to half-time on 11 occasions there - the joint-second worst record in the division - can shoulder some of the blame for their home struggles.

Friday’s opponents Montpellier need a maximum of two points from their last three games to rubber stamp safety and book a 16th season in the French top flight. Michel Der Zakarian’s side have hit some form of late to drag themselves out of the dog fight at the bottom, losing just two of their last ten (W5, D3) and none of the most recent five (W3, D2).

Across the last four away games, La Paillade are the joint-most in-form team in Ligue 1 (W3, D1), level with already-crowned champions PSG, and will fancy their chances of picking up another win here having been victorious in five of the last seven H2Hs (L1) including a comfortable 3-0 success in the reverse fixture.

Key battle: Toulouse’s Thijs Dallinga has scored five goals in his last nine appearances, with every one of those coming between the 50th and 75th minute. Four of Montpellier’s last six victories have seen them keep a clean sheet, and goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte also kept one in the reverse fixture, with ten shutouts overall for the Frenchman this season.

Hot stat: Six of the last seven H2Hs between this pair have produced exactly three goals, with the other seeing six goals scored!
