Toulouse encountered a setback with a 1-0 loss to Le Havre in Ligue 1, failing to reclaim the higher ground against their upcoming adversaries Lyon. Still in a precarious position regarding relegation, Les Violets' defeat ended a streak of three consecutive league victories, with their lack of attacking threat surprising given their prior success on the road.

Returning to Stadium de Toulouse might offer some solace for Carles Martínez Novell's side, where they secured victories in their last two Ligue 1 encounters, albeit after conceding first in both instances. However, the arrival of Lyon may not be met with enthusiasm, as Toulouse haven't won a home fixture against them since August 2014 (with a record of one draw and five losses since then), with both teams scoring in each of their last seven meetings at this venue.

Lyon, on the other hand, have been on a hot streak since February, losing just one league match out of six (with five wins), propelling themselves towards the top half of the table under manager Pierre Sage's guidance. Sage has orchestrated an impressive turnaround since taking charge of a team that was at the bottom of the table in November. Additionally, Lyon has a Coupe de France semi-final ahead against Ligue 2 side Valenciennes, which they are expected to win.

Despite being without injured striker and captain Alexandre Lacazette, Lyon secured a 2-0 victory over Lorient in their last league away fixture, marking their third consecutive triumph on the road. Lacazette's expected return for the southern France clash should significantly boost Lyon's chances, potentially enabling them to achieve what Toulouse couldn't against Le Havre: win four successive Ligue 1 matches away from home, a feat Lyon hasn't accomplished since December 2020.

Lacazette has a penchant for performing against Toulouse, having scored 11 goals against them throughout his career, second only to his tally against Montpellier (15). Impressively, he netted four goals in his last two encounters against Toulouse, with three of those coming before halftime.

在法甲联赛中，图卢兹0 - 1负于勒阿弗尔，未能从即将到来的对手里昂手中夺回制高点。在保级的危险中，紫军团的失败结束了联赛的三连胜，鉴于他们之前在客场的成功，他们缺乏进攻威胁令人惊讶。

回到图卢兹球场可能会给卡莱斯Martínez诺维尔的球队带来一些安慰，他们在最近的两场法甲比赛中都取得了胜利，尽管在两场比赛中都先失一球。然而，里昂的到来可能不会受到热情的欢迎，因为图卢兹自2014年8月以来还没有在主场赢过他们(自那以来的战绩是1平5负)，两支球队在这个场地的最近7次交锋中都取得了进球。

另一方面，里昂自2月份以来一直处于火热状态，六场联赛中只输了一场(其中五场获胜)，在主教练皮埃尔·塞奇的指导下，他们将自己推向了积分榜的上半区。自去年11月执掌这支排名垫底的球队以来，萨奇成功扭转了局面。此外，里昂在法国杯半决赛中将对阵法甲球队瓦伦西亚，他们有望获胜。

尽管没有受伤的前锋和队长拉卡泽特，里昂在联赛最后一场客场比赛中以2-0战胜洛里昂，这是他们在客场的第三场胜利。拉卡泽特预计将在法国南部的比赛中复出，这将大大增加里昂的机会，有可能使他们实现图卢兹对阵勒阿弗尔时未能实现的目标:在客场连续四场获胜，这是里昂自2020年12月以来从未完成的壮举。

拉卡泽特喜欢在对阵图卢兹的比赛中表现出色，在他的职业生涯中，他在对阵图卢兹的比赛中打进了11球，仅次于对阵蒙彼利埃的15球。令人印象深刻的是，他在最近两场对阵图卢兹的比赛中打进4球，其中3球是在半场结束前打进的。
