In this week 21 match on the 15th of January, Toulouse hosts Pau at Stadium De Toulouse (toulouse) in a clash of the Ligue 2. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 4 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. 2nd placed Toulouse is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Cannes. Rafael Ratão struck first for Toulouse in the 52nd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Cannes couldn’t manage to score, and Toulouse took the shutout win. Toulouse should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 8th placed Pau, recorded a 4-0 shutout win against Rodez. Erwin Koffi scored the first goal for Pau in the 52nd minute, then Jovan Nišić added another in the 60th minute In the end, Rodez couldn’t muster any offence and Pau ran away with the shutout win. Pau is looking for direction having 4 win and 6 losses in their last 10 matches.
Toulouse and Pau last played eachother at the Stade Du Hameau Idron 1 on Aug 7th. Toulouse won by a score of 1 to 0. Brecht Dejaegere scored the first goal for Toulouse in the 7th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Pau was frustrated by Toulouse’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Toulouse ended the match with the shutout victory.
Pau’s most prolific scorer has been Zakaria Naidji. The attacker has netted two goals over the last 5 matches. Toulouse is fortunate enough to have Rafael Ratão in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored 4 goals.
