Result
Toulouse 0-1 Lille
Kick-off: 2026-09-03
Lille hold a commanding edge over Toulouse: 7 away wins to just 2 home victories in their head-to-head, including a decisive 4–0 away win this April. On the pitch, Toulouse sit 16th with just 1 point from 2 league games (0 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, 2–4 goal difference), while Lille are 3rd with 4 points (1 win, 1 draw, 0 losses, 4–2 GD). Toulouse have conceded 4 in their last league match (0–2 vs Lyon) and have managed only 2 goals in 2 games; Lille drew 2–2 away at PSG mid-week but won 2–0 at Angers the week before, with 4 shots on target in 2 games. The API model heavily favours Lille (71.8% overall, 65% on goals expected, 80% on H2H), and while both sides carry minor injuries, Lille's form, attacking threat (O. Giroud in 2 appearances, 1 goal + 2 assists), and defensive solidity decisively outclass a struggling Toulouse side.
