Toulouse host LASK at the Stadium de Toulouse on Thursday (October 5) in the UEFA Europa League.
The hosts have endured a slow start to their Ligue 1 campaign and will hope for better luck on the continental stage. Toulouse drew 1-1 against Belgian outfit Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in their last group game. Thijs Dallinga scored a first-half opener from the spot before Union drew level midway through the second half.
Toulouse are second in the group table with one point from one game. They will now look to pick up their first continental win of the season this week as Europa League football returns to the Stadium de Toulouse for the first time since 2009.
LASK, meanwhile, kicked off their Europa League campaign with a 3-1 loss at home to Premier League giants Liverpool. Florian Flecker opened the scoring, but the Reds scored thrice after the break to take all three points.
