Nantes are undefeated in their last 4 matches against Toulouse in all competitions.
Toulouse have failed to win their last 5 home matches in Ligue 1.

My exact correct score prediction is Toulouse 1 – 1 Nantes. I anticipate a tense, cagey affair typical of a relegation dogfight. Both teams will be terrified of losing, which could lead to a conservative approach. While both have the quality to score, their lack of consistent form and the high stakes point towards a share of the spoils.
