Paris Saint-Germain vs Toulouse: Prediction, Team News, Lineups Revealed
Paris Saint-Germain return to Ligue 1 action on Friday as they host Toulouse at the Parc des Princes. PSG sit one point clear of Lens after a 4-0 win at Nice. Toulouse moved up to ninth place following a 1-0 victory over Lorient.
Form and context
PSG arrive in strong form. They have won their last three competitive matches by a combined 12-2 scoreline. The side has kept clean sheets in the last two outings.
Paris also hold a game in hand on Lens. A win would heap pressure on their rivals ahead of a two-legged Champions League quarter-final with Liverpool.
Toulouse outlook
Toulouse have won their last two league games. The run has pushed them closer to mid-table security, but European qualification looks unlikely without cup success.
They sit nine points behind Monaco for the final European spot, with seven league rounds remaining. Carles Martinez could lead them to a third consecutive league win for the first time since late 2024.
Head-to-head and recent meetings
PSG have dominated recent encounters. Paris have won the last three Ligue 1 meetings, including a 3-0 win in this fixture last season. Toulouse have lost six of their last seven visits to the Parc des Princes, with their last win there coming in May 2024.
