The team from Paris have a dominant record against Toulouse in the head-to-head matches
Toulouse come into this clash in excellent form, riding high on back-to-back victories. Wins over OGC Nice and Brest have lifted their spirits and boosted confidence in the camp. What makes their recent performances impressive is the manner in which they secured the results—controlling less possession and creating fewer chances, yet remaining defensively solid and preventing their opponents from finding the back of the net.
One of the standout performers for Toulouse has been Frank Magri, who struck twice against Brest in their most recent outing to secure a 2-0 victory. That result propelled them to second place in the Ligue 1 table, and they are now unbeaten in six straight league matches, continuing the momentum they carried forward from the end of last season. Toulouse’s belief is growing, and they are showing the resilience needed to challenge bigger clubs.
On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have begun their title defense in steady fashion. Luis Enrique’s men have secured maximum points from their opening two games against Nantes and Angers. While the scorelines may not have been overly emphatic, the numbers behind their performances tell a different story. PSG have attempted 39 shots across those games with an expected goals tally above three, suggesting that their attack is far more dangerous than the modest scorelines indicate.
The Ligue 1 champions’ dominance in possession has also been staggering. Against Angers, PSG registered 83.3% possession—the second-highest in Ligue 1 history—underlining their control in matches. Even more impressively, they are yet to concede a single shot on target this season. Should they keep another clean sheet against Toulouse, it would mark their best defensive start to a league campaign since the 2015-16 season.
That said, Toulouse have a habit of making life difficult for PSG at home. They have only failed to score once against the Parisians in their last 17 home fixtures, though victories have been rare. Toulouse have not beaten PSG in their last five meetings at their own ground and have managed just two home wins against the champions in the past 14 years. The history heavily favors the visitors, but Toulouse’s current form suggests they are not to be underestimated.
With both teams carrying confidence, this clash promises to be a fascinating battle. For PSG, it is an opportunity to assert their dominance early in the campaign and tighten their grip at the top of the table. For Toulouse, however, it is a chance to prove their resurgence is no fluke and to potentially secure a landmark win that could set the tone for the rest of their season.
