Toulouse play host to Auxerre in a Ligue 1 game at the Stadium de Toulouse this Sunday. Toulouse currently sit in 10th place in the table, while Auxerre, this season's surprise package thus far, are up in seventh.

So, can Toulouse bring their opponents down a peg, or will Auxerre's unlikely quest for European football next season remain on track this weekend?

Toulouse vs Auxerre Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Toulouse have a good recent record against Auxerre and have beaten them in four of their last six meetings. Auxerre last won this fixture in 2021, and they have not won at the Stadium de Toulouse in any of their last six visits there.
Toulouse's last game saw them well beaten by reigning champions Paris St. Germain, who brushed them aside 3-0. The loss, though, snapped a four-game unbeaten run for Toulouse that included wins over Montpellier, Rennes and Reims.
Auxerre are currently riding a five-game unbeaten streak, and have won their last three games in a row. Their last result, though, was fortunate, as they needed a 92nd-minute goal to overcome struggling Angers.
Despite Auxerre being able to move up as highly as fifth with a win (depending on other results), they have conceded 19 goals this season, five more than Toulouse have conceded. However, they've also scored eight more than this weekend's opponents.
Auxerre forward Hamed Traore is one of Ligue 1's form players right now. He has scored six goals and registered one assist in just 10 games this season, and has been involved in a goal in seven of his last eight.

Toulouse vs Auxerre Prediction

This game pits two well-matched sides against one another, as both teams were on strong runs before Toulouse's loss to Paris St. Germain, a defeat which they should not be ashamed of.

However, despite Toulouse enjoying the home advantage, they may find things hard going against an on-form Auxerre side who are used to scoring goals, particularly as they can call upon Hamed Traore, who has been on fire.

With that said, Auxerre also have a habit of conceding goals, meaning that this should be a fun game to watch.

Overall, then, the prediction is a close win for the away side.
