Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
------------------------------
Lens begin 2026 with a chance to extend their lead at the top of Ligue 1 when they travel to face Toulouse on matchday 17. Les Sang et Or sit one point clear of Paris Saint-Germain after closing 2025 with a 2-0 win over Nice. Toulouse head into the clash in good spirits after climbing to eighth with a convincing victory in their last outing.
Team Analysis:
Toulouse head into the new year in strong form, riding a four-match unbeaten run and pushing themselves into the European conversation with consistent home results. Lens, meanwhile, have emerged as genuine title contenders, boasting a seven-game winning streak and the league’s best defensive record. Their recent dominance in this fixture and impressive away form set the stage for a compelling clash at Stadium de Toulouse.
Player Situation:
Toulouse will be without Abu Francis through injury, could miss Warren Kamanzi, and are also affected by Frank Magri’s AFCON absence, despite strong recent individual performances in their last match. Lens also have fitness concerns, with Jonathan Gradit and Jhoanner Chavez doubtful and Mamadou Sangare away on international duty. Both sides rely on in-form scorers and goalkeepers, adding intrigue to a matchup shaped by key absences.
Result Prediction:
PSG have been close behind Lens in the title race, but Lens have shown no signs of cracking under the pressure. This weekend offers them a key chance to tighten their grip at the top of the table. Les Sang et Or know it is a moment they must seize.
Predicted Result: Toulouse 1-2 RC Lens.
