Toulouse will host Stade Rennais at the Stadium de Toulouse on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side have endured a highly disappointing league campaign, although they have performed well on the continental stage this season. They were beaten 3-0 by last-placed Olympique Lyonnais in their last league outing but returned to winning ways on Thursday with a 2-1 victory over LASK in the UEFA Europa League.
Toulouse sit 15th in the Ligue 1 standings with 13 points from 15 games. They are two places and two points behind their weekend opponents and will leapfrog them with maximum points on Sunday.
Stade Rennais have also had a tough run of results in Ligue 1 this season, prompting the exit of head coach Bruno Genesio last month. Les Rouge et Noirs are yet to find their feet under returning boss Julien Stephan, falling to a 2-1 defeat to 10-man Monaco last weekend before losing 3-2 to Villarreal on Thursday.
