Nantes is still sinking under Halilhodzic’s charge
FC Nantes will look to break a three-game draw streak in Ligue 1 against Toulouse when the two sides meet at Stade de la Beaujoire on Sunday. Coach Vahid Halilhodzic has overseen one win, one draw and three defeats from the hosts’ last five matches as they have failed to make any inroads to the battle for survival since he took charge in March 2026. This FC Nantes vs FC Toulouse prediction will focus on whether Halilhodzic can finally turn things around.
Toulouse has been in much better form in 2025-26, winning two and losing only two of their last five, although they still find themselves in mid-table obscurity in 10th position on 44 points from 33 games. Nantes sit 17th with 23 points from 33 matches.
One of Nantes’ better results in recent weeks came when they beat Marseille 3-0 at home, but the Canaries followed that with a 1-0 away defeat to Lens. Matthis Abline remains their most reliable goal scorer in Ligue 1 with six from 32 appearances and Ignatius Ganago has given them some extra firepower in the frontline with two goals in five. For a complete FC Nantes vs FC Toulouse preview, it is essential to consider these individual performances and recent form.
Toulouse to take the points
Toulouse have been the better side recently, winning their last two games in succession away to Strasbourg and at home to Lyon. Carles Martinez’s side have won six of their 16 Ligue 1 road games this season, but their average of 1.38 goals scored and conceded per away match makes them an interesting draw bet.
Yann Gboho has been in form again this season, netting eight times in 31 Ligue 1 games, making him Toulouse’s main goal threat.
Their 3-4-2-1 system, which is geared towards high-tempo pressing and wing-backs pushing forward, should get plenty of joy against the more patient and structured build-up play of Nantes’ 4-3-3. The FC Nantes vs FC Toulouse betting tips suggest focusing on attacking potential, as Toulouse have the momentum and the players to break the jinx of draws in this fixture and we’re backing an away win with a goal-fest likely.
The odds for an away victory on Sunday are 2.7, while Over 2.5 goals looks likely at 1.81 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.58. Additionally, our FC Nantes vs FC Toulouse prediction is that Toulouse will edge out Nantes in an entertaining clash.
