Aim higher. This is what the Toulouse Football Club in this new year. For this recovery after the winter break, it is the RC Lens and its legendary Bollaert stadium which stand on the path of the men of Carlos Martinez NovellSunday January 5, 2025, on the occasion of the 16^e Ligue 1 day.

9^e of Ligue 1, qualified in the Cup

The partners of Guillaume Remains had finished the past year rather well, at least when it came time to take stock of the mid-season. Qualified (painfully, on penalties) for the 16^e of the Coupe de France final, Wednesday January 15, at the Stadium, against Laval (L2)the Violets are currently in the first half of the table (9^e21 points).

Three fewer than their weekend opponent (7^e24 points), in a duel to try toenter the top 6 of the championship, and therefore, the European places. Is the step too high for this TéFéCé?

A six-point match

During the last five days, the captain’s men Vincent Sierra (forfeit due to injury) remain on three victories against Rennes, Auxerre et Saint-Etienneand two defeats among the Ligue 1 leaders, Paris et Monaco. But one statistic can bring some comfort to the hearts of Toulouse residents before this perilous trip: in the calendar year 2024, Tef has won 50% of its away matches (10/20), all competitions combined.

For their part, the Sang et Or suffered the law of PSG in the Coupe de France, but remain with two victories (Reims, Montpellier) and a draw (Auxerre), in the championship. Fans of numbers would say that this Lens-Toulouse is a six-point game. And they probably wouldn’t be wrong.
