Marseille hoping to bounce back in Toulouse trip.
As Toulouse FC seeks their first win of the season and aims to break a 20-game winless streak against Olympique de Marseille, the stage is set for a captivating Saturday showdown at Stadium de Toulouse, where both teams will look to transform early draws into crucial victories.
Toulouse
Despite being without a win, Toulouse remained unbeaten after the opening two Ligue 1 matches, following a 1-1 draw away at Nice on Match Day 2 [0W, 2D, 0L]. The game against Nice was at risk of being postponed due to the state of the pitch but went ahead after it was cleared by the officials.
After a goalless first half, Jonathan Clauss [53'] put Nice ahead. However, Shavy Babicka [73'] ensured Le Téfécé picked up a point twenty minutes later following a leveller.
Manager Carles Martínez Novell described the result as ‘a good point,’ with his side now having two points while in 11th place after two matches. The hosts are also one of the eight teams yet to taste defeat in the new campaign and the only such side in the bottom half.
A maiden win is the primary objective on Saturday, although Toulouse are winless in their last 20 games against the visitors [0W, 8D, 12L]. Given their dismal record against Marseille, Le Téfécé are at risk of starting a season without winning any of their opening three matches for the first time since 2013-14, when they failed to find a win in four opening games.
Martínez Novell is expected to deploy a 3—4—2—1 formation, with Frank Magri in attack for Saturday's clash with Marseille. Toulouse have no injury worries ahead of the weekend.
Olympique Marseille
Marseille's early season momentum took a hit after a thrilling 2-2 draw with Reims in their first home game. Despite leading at halftime thanks to a goal from Amine Harit, they saw their advantage slip away as Reims made a spirited comeback.
Reims' comeback efforts were rewarded with goals from Sergio Akieme and Yaya Fofana shortly after the break. However, Mason Greenwood rescued a point for Marseille with a late header, marking his third goal in two matches.
Following the match, Marseille's manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed his frustration, stating, "I'm disappointed and annoyed. I'm sorry, I would have liked to have won this first game at the Velodrome.” Les Phocéens are now keen to bounce back during their trip to Toulouse on Saturday.
With seven goals already netted in their opening two games, De Zerbi's side aims to surpass their 2008/09 record of nine goals in the first three matches. For the upcoming clash, a 4-2-3-1 formation is anticipated, featuring Elye Wahi leading the attack.
