Meeting statistics

The current form of Liverpool

Having gathered six points after two games, Liverpool lead Group E. With two victories under their belt, “The Reds“ are ahead of Toulouse by two points at the moment and ahead of third-placed Union Saint-Gilloise by five points.

Liverpool have had three victories, one tie, and one loss in their last five games in all competitions.

They took on Leicester in the League Cup’s third-round match, which started with Leicester’s Kasey McAteer scoring in the third minute. Ultimately, Liverpool won 3-1 thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Diogo Jota in the second half. A contentious loss against Tottenham came next. Son Heung-min scored the first goal shortly after Liverpool’s goal was disallowed due to an odd offside call. Just before the half, Gakpo pulled a goal back for Liverpool, but Curtis Jones’ dismissal had already reduced them to 10 men. Moreover, Jota was also sent off in the second half. Joël Matip’s own goal gave Tottenham the 2-1 victory after Liverpool managed to hang on with nine men for a while. Union Saint-Gilloise was the opponent Liverpool faced in the Europa League last time out. Jota and Ryan Gravenberch both scored to give Liverpool a commanding 2-0 victory. Returning to the Premier League, Mohamed Salah scored twice before halftime to put Liverpool ahead following an early Brighton goal from Simon Adingra. But Lewis Dunk’s goal late in the game gave Brighton a 2-2 draw. Liverpool’s final game was the Merseyside Derby. Ashley Young’s early red card gave Liverpool the opportunity to completely dominate Everton. They defeated the opposition 2-0 thanks to goals from Salah’s penalty kick in the 75th and an additional goal in extra time.

This week, Jürgen Klopp has a few injuries to deal with. Thiago, Stefan Bajcetic, and Andrew Robertson aren’t available, but Gakpo might make a comeback.

The current form of Toulouse

Toulouse is ranked second in the group, sitting in the qualifying spot as well. “Le Téfécé“ had one victory and one draw in two games, giving them four points—two behind Liverpool at the top of the group and three ahead of Union Saint-Gilloise.

Toulouse have experienced two victories, two draws, and one loss in their last five games across all competitions. The first of these matches was against Lens. Before halftime, César Gelabert had opened the scoring for Toulouse but Wesley Saïd tied the score. Then, in the 84th minute, Morgan Guilavogui scored to give Lens a 2-1 victory. Toulouse recovered to defeat Metz, winning 3-0, with goals from Niklas Schmidt, Thijs Dallinga, and Frank Magri. Toulouse hosted LASK in the Europa League last time around. They defeated their adversaries from Austria 1-0 in the first half thanks to a goal from Gabriel Suazo, despite having less possession and just two chances for a goal. Magri’s goal in the 27th minute gave Toulouse the lead over Brest. They maintained their lead until the 90-minute mark, but Brest’s Martín Satrino scored in extra time, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Toulouse's last time out occurred against Reims, who took the lead through Amir Richardson, but Dallinga pulled Toulouse a draw a few minutes later. Nevertheless, there was no winner for either team, and the match concluded in a 1-1 draw.

In contrast to Klopp, Toulouse’s head coach Carles Martínez Novell has only one injury concern, and it’s regarding Zakaria Aboukhlal, who’s recovering from knee surgery.

Head-to-head encounters

In their combined club histories, Toulouse and Liverpool have only met twice. This occurred back in the 2007 Champions League, where Liverpool won both matches, 1-0 and 4-0, respectively.

Match analytics

Not surprisingly, the bookies with no deposit bonuses see Klopp’s star-studded team as their favorite to win the Europa League in Dublin in May. Toulouse won’t stand a chance in this match in our opinion.
