Toulouse’s recent performance

Toulouse have gone better in cups than in the French Championship. In the French League Cup, he defeated Caen 2-0 in December to secure a place in the quarter-finals. He’s going to face Rennes as a visitor.
However, in Ligue 1, his situation is difficult. Before the stoppage of the tournament for Christmas and New Year celebrations, it suffered two defeats in a row. It took Strasbourg 2-1 at the rivals’ home and, in their dominions, was beaten by the same marker by Lyon.
Standing at 19 points (five wins, four draws and ten losses), he occupies seventeenth place, at the edge of the relegation zone. The score, however, is the same as that of Lille, eighteenth and first in the sticking region. The Toulouse only escape from the block of the last three when the tiebreaker criteria are used.

The current form of Nice

Third place last season of the French Championship, Nice showed difficulties to divide between tournaments and got to ‘pass’ through the relegation zone. However, he managed to react and present better results in Ligue 1 despite having a very lean cast.
With 27 points (eight wins, three draws and eight losses), the Riviera team is sixth in the French Championship. He can not, however, have great ambitions in the tournament. The difference for Olympique de Marseille, which closes the zone of classification for European tournaments occupying the fourth position, is 11 points.
That should cause coach Lucien Favre to prioritize cup contests in the second half of the season. In addition to the French Cup, the team also follow in the Europa League, where they will face Lokomotiv Moscow in the next phase, and in the League Cup of France. You will fight for a place in the semifinal with Monaco.
