Toulouse
The team suffered their third consecutive defeat in Ligue 1, losing 2-3 to Marseille in the previous round, conceding at least twice in each match. This marks a repeat of Toulouse's longest losing streak in the current championship.

On a positive note, the team has consistently scored, finding the net in six consecutive league matches.

Toulouse vs. Lille: Match Prediction
Both teams are not at their best in the current phase of the season. Toulouse has matched their worst losing streak in the current championship. Even playing at home has not helped them secure wins, as they have not won in their last 6 home matches in France's top league. Moreover, the team consistently concedes goals and has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 7 home league matches.
Lille is highly inconsistent, performing strongly at home in Ligue 1, yet struggling away. Nevertheless, the visitors have a good chance of picking up points, considering their opponent is in a slump and has been underperforming at home. Additionally, the head-to-head statistics favor the visiting team, with Lille unbeaten against Toulouse in 5 of their last 6 league meetings, winning 4 times.
I am confident the club will not lose this time either. My prediction: Lille to win or draw
