Le Mans and Toulouse are two of four teams on 6 points, separated from Marseille above and Auxerre below only by goal difference. They sit two points clear of Troyes and four ahead of bottom side Le Havre, so the gap to danger is smaller than the gap to the top half, where eight teams are on 7 points or more.

Le Mans' Form: Goals in Every Game

Le Mans have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last five. Their recent results:

10 Oct: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Le Mans (loss)
19 Sep: Le Mans 2-1 Lorient (win)
13 Sep: Le Mans 2-2 Lens (draw)
5 Sep: Nice 1-1 Le Mans (draw)
30 Aug: Rennes 3-2 Le Mans (loss)

Le Mans have scored in all five of those games, eight goals in total, but they've also conceded in every one, ten in all. They're proving hard to beat at home, with a win and a draw from their last two there, and they lost to PSG and Rennes in matches where they still found the net. Read the PSG vs Le Mans result or the Le Mans vs Lorient report for more.

Toulouse's Form: Draw Specialists

Toulouse have won 1, drawn 3 and lost 1 of their last five. Their recent results:

10 Oct: Monaco 2-2 Toulouse (draw)
19 Sep: Toulouse 3-2 Le Havre (win)
12 Sep: Lorient 2-2 Toulouse (draw)
3 Sep: Toulouse 0-1 Lille (loss)
29 Aug: Brest 2-2 Toulouse (draw)

Three of Toulouse's last five finished 2-2, including a point away at league leaders Monaco. They've scored nine and conceded nine in that stretch, and like Le Mans they've let in a goal in every game. The 2-2 at Monaco was a strong result against the table-toppers.

Key Questions for This Match

Can either side keep a clean sheet? Neither team has done so in their last five, so goals look likely.
Can Le Mans use home advantage? They've taken four points from their last two home games.
Can Toulouse turn draws into wins? Three draws in five is a pattern they'll want to break.
Who blinks first? With identical records, the first goal could decide the game.

What This Means for the Table

A Le Mans win would take them to 9 points, ahead of the group on 8 (Brest, Lorient and Nice).
A Toulouse win would also lift them to 9 points, with the same effect.
A draw would put both on 7 points, level with Lens, Strasbourg and Angers, and still tightly packed.

Because the table is so compressed, a single result could move either team several places.
