Toulouse have won two of their last 14 Ligue 1 matches.
Nantes have kept two clean sheets in their last 13 home league games.
Seven of Nantes last nine outings on their own patch have failed to produce three goals.
Nantes struggling with inconsistency
It would still take quite a bit to embroil Nantes and Toulouse in the Ligue 1 relegation battle, but their desire to ensure their safety as quickly as possible could lead to a nervy encounter between the pair on Sunday.
Nantes have perhaps the most to fear with just four points separating them from 17th-placed Saint-Etienne and they have struggled to string two decent results together lately.
Many of their recent games on their own patch have been cautious affairs – just two of their last nine have featured more than two goals – and while Toulouse’s recent record is a cause for greater concern, there are no guarantees that Nantes can come out on top.
Toulouse on a dismal run
The visitors head north hoping to end a run of five straight defeats that has left them looking over their shoulders and no matter how patchy their opponents’ form has been, it is difficult to recommend them when they appear to be ending the campaign with a whimper.
So we could be presented with an encounter where there are few opportunities and under 2.5 goals looks the best way forward and, with neither side begging to be trusted, a 1-1 draw may be of interest to those looking for a correct-score bet.
