Toulouse vs Brest

Brest will make the trip to Toulouse on Sunday afternoon, hoping to keep their slim Conference League qualification hopes alive in Ligue 1.

Toulouse, meanwhile, will be eager to improve their concerning home form as the season nears its climax, while Brest aim to secure a third consecutive clean sheet.

Since their Ligue 2 triumph in 2021-22, Toulouse have settled into mid-table obscurity in the top flight, and their recent performances before the international break did little to suggest a late surge.

A dominant 4-0 win over struggling Angers in early March had briefly raised hopes among Toulouse supporters. However, they’ve managed just one point from their last two matches—a home draw against Monaco followed by a disappointing defeat to Strasbourg on March 16.

Toulouse initially looked set for a crucial away victory when Frank Magri struck early, but Strasbourg mounted a second-half comeback, with Andrey Santos and Felix Lemarechal sealing the win.

Now, Toulouse will target their second league win of the month at Stadium de Toulouse. Sitting 10th in the table, they trail European hopefuls Lille by 10 points—a gap that seems increasingly difficult to bridge.

On the other hand, Brest, who made their Champions League debut this season, have endured a tough domestic campaign. Their chances of returning to European competition next season appear slim, making Sunday’s match a must-win if they are to keep their faint hopes alive.

After losing to Paris Saint-Germain in UEFA's elite club competition in February, Les Pirates have only won one of their last five Ligue 1 and Coupe de France matches, including a humiliating defeat against second-tier Dunkerque. However, the team showed signs of improvement just before the international break, earning four points.
