The Gym travels to Toulouse this evening (7 pm) with an urgent need for points. Otherwise, they risk settling into a long-term crisis…
Since the start of Ligue 1, TFC has a slightly negative record (4 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses; 13 goals scored, 20 conceded). With 16 points on the table – 2 more than the Aiglons -, the Violets, in 14th place, still have their eye on the upper half of the standings. Indeed, the 8th place, occupied by St-Etienne, remains 3 points away. This attests to the closeness of the standings and the compactness of the hierarchy. Two positive points for the two opponents on Wednesday…
Regularly making headlines since his debut at the top level, Andy Delort is not having his most outstanding start to the season. Nevertheless, the former Caen player remains one of the essential links in the Violets’ squad. With 3 goals and 3 assists in 14 Ligue 1 matches (12 starts), directly involved in 4 of his team’s last 5 goals, he maintains the power and movement of a striker synonymous with danger.
